As the week ends, I'm thinking about Miss Major. She did not want the past, including Stonewall, to be used as an excuse for inaction. She demanded action from those in power. She called for unity among trans, nonbinary and gender non-conforming people amid escalating political attacks.

Legendary transgender activist Miss Major dies at 78

Known as a surrogate mother of her community, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy leaves behind a legacy as a fierce advocate for trans and LGBTQ+ rights.

Thank you, I think all stories are valid if the execution is meaningful and not just for shock.

A lot of women have miscarriages, it’s not that I would never write about one. But it would have to be meaningful and respectful to people who have been through it, not an event trick.

Silverman on Security @silvermansecurity.bsky.social · 3d

Someone thought an unclear image was proof that Rogue was pregnant & then someone posted they thought the heartbreak would be a miscarriage.

This won't happen, I was being sarcastic. I've never seen @gailsimone.bsky.social not take proper care of her characters.

Anyway I know there's lots of folks going around saying you should come out and join the fight or whatever, but I'm here to tell you to take your time.

Your queerness isn't measured by how many people know about it. And your survival matters more now than ever.

Book cover for the YA book ICEBREAKER by A.L. Graziadei showing the two male main protagonist facing each other and holding onto each others collar.

Digital art of my original characters Aran and Tao as young adults out at night in their local nyc neighborhood kissing. Tao sits on a bicycle and Aran bends down slightly to kiss him.

Mock cover of Suzanne Samin and my upcoming graphic novel. The title still r wads Fear Of Falling but we changed it now to Wherever I’m With You.

The cover shows a brick house fall and Aran and Tao sitting on the rooftop, their legs dangling down the edge, and in big letters underneath them it reads “fear of falling”

Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao as young teenagers on a hot summer day walking down the streets in their local nyc neighborhood and playing around with a basketball.

Heartbroken that, per his social media accounts, Drew Struzan has left us. His poster and album art was quite simply shorthand for imagination for countless young people.

E.T. Adventure poster, 1990. I still have one of these hanging in my childhood bedroom.

Star Wars Special edition triptych, 1997. I remember seeing all of these in the paper as each film was re-released and just felt a burst of energy those mornings.

(3/3) Thanks for reading!

Lois and Clark are now sitting close together, their elbows touching. Lois: "I could get you coffee tomorrow, as a thanks. Just name the place."
Clark responds "That won't be necessary Ms. Lane. All I want is for you to get some rest."
Lois looks smugly back at Clark. "Seriously? You sure you can handle all those typos on your own?"
Clark adjusts his glasses and winks at her. "I may not be an English major, but I was THE spelling bee champion three years in a row!"
Lois laughs! "HAH! Not bad for a kampung boy."

Clark: "I still have no idea what that means."
Lois elbows his side. "You can pick it up from context, Smallville. I believe in you."
Lois leans on Clark's shoulder and shuts her eyes. Clark is surprised.
"Uhh...Lois are you just gonna-"
Lois is fast asleep: "zzzzz"
Clark blushes and smiles. He goes back to typing with Lois leaning against his shoulder. The sound of the keyboard going "tp tp tp tp tp"

(2/3)

Clark thinks to himself "I can't blame her for feeling that way. There are times I wish I could tell her how much I do understand."
Clark looks sadly to the side and imagines himself in Superman's shadow. "When Lois Lane looks at Superman, she sees someone who knows what it's like to be judged the way she is."
We see an office filled with framed articles of Superman that describe him as "a symbol for hope" and "immigrant from the stars". A pair of glasses is placed on the desk. Clark continues thinking to himself "But I'm just Clark Kent. How could I ever compete with that?"
Clark finally speaks up. "You should take a break, Lois."
Lois is surprised by Clark standing beside her. Clark: "Let me have a look at that."
Lois: "WHAT-"

Clark types away at Lois' laptop. She's sitting to the side of him now with a hot drink in her hands.
Lois takes a sip and looks suspiciously at Clark "What's the catch, Kent? You want a spot in the byline?"
Clark smiles to himself as he continues typing. "No catch. You don't have to tell anyone I did this."
Lois smiles. "Come on, that can't be it. There's got to be something in it for you."

A comic about Clark Kent, Lois Lane and typos (1/3)

#Art #Comics #DCcomics #Superman #Artsky

Clark Kent walks in to an office "Lois? What are you still doing here?"
Lois Lane, seated in front of a laptop, turns around. "Wuh? Clark? Could've sworn you'd be home by now."
Clark pulls a chair to the side and looks concerningly to a stressed out and tired Lois. "You look out of it." He says.
"Ugh, I'm supposed to have this article done by tomorrow. Dyslexia's kicking my butt right now. Usually my sister proofreads my stuff before I send it to the team." Says Lois.
Lois leans her cheek against her hand in disappointment. "I haven't heard back from her all day. She's probably on an international flight and it slipped my mind."

Clark asks "Why don't you ask someone at work to look it over?"
Lois pauses. She crosses her arms and looks to the side. "It's tiring y'know. You double major in English and Journalism, but still get "compliments" about how good your English is."
As Clark listens to Lois talk, the background transforms into space and stars. Lois continues; "I can't just be disabled and a writer. It's always something else."
Clark: "..."
Lois: "I don't even know why I'm telling you all this. It's not like you've ever had to deal with that."
