When 45 won in 2016, I started a protest zine series called Take Comfort Take Care, filled with art, prose, and poetry of peoples feelings about the election. Until I consider if I want to do a redux for 2024, here's a link to the zines our community made. There's power in art.

Hey, if you're looking for some original art, please consider buying some of mine! My spouse has had some pretty serious medical issues and the bills have not been kind, so even if you're not in the market for art, please check out the digital comics section too

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

My day job as a newspaper cartoonist is where 80-90% of my money is from. The other 10-20% is from teaching, cons, & editorial. Every 5-7 years Ill get a lump sum from a graphic novel. I stopped getting royalties from my one earned-out GN two years ago. I split living expenses with my spouse 60/40.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

Fascinating read on how a suspicious pitch highlighted a growing problem in freelance journalism: A flood of generative AI that even prestige publications don't catch, complete with fabricated quotes, from scammers who see opportunity in a field so many real humans are struggling to survive in.
Investigating a Possible Scammer in Journalism’s AI Era | The Local
A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.
