Re-upping for the end of the week. Did you know I'm authorized to live and work in three different anglophone countries? That's *three nations* that have a chance to hire me and win this prize.
Hey, so, I've been fired. Now that I'm unemployed like the other half of Bluesky, if anyone knows of work for a writer, reporter, or nonprofit grants manager, I'd be much obliged. You all know where to find me.

This normalizes corruption, feeding the sentiment that both sides suck and so politics is pointless. A Dem party focused on rehabilitating its broken brand would be criticizing Trump and booting out Cuellar. Let the corrupt guys become corporate lobbyists - they’re dragging our party down.
Jeffries claims the charges against Cueller were "very thin" and says Trump's pardon was "exactly the right outcome"

A special project by an outstanding creative team. There's still time to get in on the ground floor as the issues come out, but as Henry says here, you can already pre-order what is going to be an in-demand and highly sought-after Trade Paperback. I want to see more comics in the world like this.
Since I was out, the last issue of the series was solicited. Covers by Vanessa Del Rey, @jgonzo.bsky.social, and introducing @bizarropizarro.bsky.social.
With your help, we can make more Ricky Téllez comics if you preorder the single issues or the TPB. Preorder here bindings.app/read/Y5jVaWmp

For graphic novels, especially adult genre fiction, it's incredibly helpful to review it online, talk about it, recommend it to a friend—adult fiction in the graphic novel space is difficult to place, and nothing convinces readers that they'll like a book more than the personal testimonial.
If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....
