As a freelance writer I have an ACA plan.
It's jumping from $800/mo to $1,000/mo for 2026, which has gotten to the point where I need to see if I can get a better plan through my LLC or else reduce my benefits.
The price increases are largely thanks to GOP attacks on the ACA reducing the pool.

Reminder that, unless a creative freelancer has a spouse with a day job that offers health insurance, they likely have an ACA plan. And with the hits to creative industries the past few years, I'm guessing many qualify for subsidies.
Related reminder that comic creators are freelancers.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Knowing what's coming, I've recently restructured my budget so that health insurance will now represent a substantial percentage of my outgoing costs-- in a way it never has in my lifetime.
My heart goes out to those who will have to sacrifice basic necessities to make their personal numbers work.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Literally every dem should be shouting from the rooftops that republicans are giving Americans two choices: die from starvation or from a lack of affordable healthcare.
USDA orders states to stop paying full SNAP benefits and "immediately undo" steps taken to issue them for November. Follow live updates.

So he wants to give everyone $2,000?
If the Right strips away the ACA, you'll blow through that $2,000 in less than two months paying for your new, ballooning health insurance.
And then the next 10 months and change will keep coming at you long after that $2,000 is gone.

A few WEIRD things about this #DoctorWho comic book special...
1) We named it "Once Upon A Time Lord".
We had NO idea those words would be the very first thing the 14th Doctor would say at the start of the 14th Doctor specials.

Found a 40 year old photo of the High School Senior Year version of me.
Clearly I was going an Alan-Rickman-as-an-evil-mastermind hair & beard combo...
...even though I was a few years away from seeing Die Hard and/or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

This goes double for anything any milk brained pundits think of last night’s elections. Their takes will be bad! We know they will be! Who cares what they think, they have been loudly and enthusiastically proven wrong in races literally everywhere.
lets shake hands & agree to ignore every single garbage pundit & the terrible pieces they write for clicks. let them fade into obscurity so they're all sitting together at the bottom of a well yelling about the need for centrism so when it echoes back at them they think they still have an audience.

Trump on Democrats: "I think they're kamikaze pilots. I just got back from Japan, I talked about the kamikaze pilots. I think these guys are kamikaze. They'll take down the country if they have to."

Lucas Meyer turned in a double page layout today for SUPERMAN UNLIMITED #8 that has one of my favorite sequences in anything I've ever *done* for DC Comics. And it all comes down to execution. Seriously, Lucas can draw *anything*.

There's an obvious scene in SUPERMAN UNLIMITED #8 that I don't think has been shown before in a DC comic.
I live for those moments.
There's a designer, Scott Love, who once said, "Only the most foolish of mice would hide in a cat's ear. But only the wisest of cats would think to look there." 😸

There are enough movies where I feel like you could make it a genre: "You're In a Sci-Fi Future, But It's Really the 80's."
Running Man
Robocop (and its sequels)
Total Recall

Back to the Future 2
Am I missing any? Would Demolition Man count? Is BTTF 2 cheating?

Binged SOLAR OPPOSITES Season 6.
The final episodes did a great job of putting a nice bow on the entire series.
Excellent use of The Wall... with a bit I didn't see coming, but made perfect sense. Loved that!
And Episode 5 might have been one of my favorite episodes of the whole run.

What would be even more awesome: Show it.
Both Marvel and DC Studios do behind-the-scenes features to promote the shows and movies. Have a feature showcasing the original comic book art and contrast it w/ scenes & sequences from the movies/shows.
That would create MORE interest.

It's so frustrating when some of shows and films seem to have used the comics for storyboards. The original creative teams deserve more credit!

I've recently seen this post used to imply I somehow don't want comic creators to be compensated for their contributions that get used in films & TV shows.
Let me be clear.
When you get to be a consultant you get PAID.
You get paid WAY more than the standard honorarium.
And you get to CONTRIBUTE.

I'm thrilled & honored whenever they thank me in a movie or tv show's credits for my contributions to these characters.
A lot of creators get mad over the $ of it all.
For me, it's the frustration of not being asked to help contribute. I'd LOVE to be a consultant-- or a WRITER-- on these projects.

Taking a quick, early lunch break and watching the new Great British Bake Off episode on Netflix.
One of the bakers is making a tall mushroom cake for his signature.
I'm yelling at the screen, "No! Dude, it's going to look like a penis!"
Now wondering if my neighbors heard that.
