Posting up my little self-promo here to let y’all know I’d like to teach comics in different spaces. I have a background in teaching comics thru an Ethnic Studies lens, so I try to let folks know how important your story is for yourself and your community.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

I have given it the "good ol college try" applying to comic editor jobs but 🤔 maybe I'll have some luck in prose.
I mean, I know I don't have as much prose editing in my repertoire/ portfolio like comics, but hey, if anyone has a book they need edited, I *do* have experience, and I am available.

Just replace "superintelligence" with "total surveillance" when you read this note and you will understand exactly what these clowns want to do to you.
All they have to sell at this point is surveillance and magical thinking.
Mark Zuckerberg just shared his vision for 'personal superintelligence.' Read his letter.
Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a letter that smart glasses and other personal devices will become "our primary computing devices" in the future.

Diamond is 1000% imploding, in a way that makes 0 sense to ~98% of people who don't read comics, but also they seem bound & determined to be as messy about it as possible???
Like, not just going down in flames, but actively slashing parachutes 😬

Good reminder from @danielbest.bsky.social not to do business with Diamond under any circumstances, ever again. They’re doing everything they can to impoverish the entire industry and very likely drive small publishers out of business.
