everybody keeps acting like I'm being melodramatic when I refer to these as concentration camps but what the hell else would you call where we've put her and her family?

Not to soap box about this but i feel that ppl in the english indie comics space should hear it: creating doujinshi/self published comics without the stamp of a prestigious fair or an indie publisher does not make you any less of a comic artist. drawing comics makes you a comic artist.

Creators at Silver Sprocket have released a public statement regarding longstanding concerns with the business practices of the company which alleges issues around payment of royalties, poor treatment of staff, and lack of professionalism.

I don't promote it much but I put up one-offs and ephemera on my Patreon often. I wrote this recently for my girlfriend as a companion piece to a drawing she did of us but wanted to share it with the world. If you're interested in more check out the link and sign up! www.patreon.com/rosespasture

Mifepristone is still widely available but if you don't have access to it, safe medical abortion is possible with just Misoprostol! Excerpt from Abortion Pill Zine by myself, @isabellarotman.bsky.social & @marniegalloway.bsky.social on miso. Full zine here: www.silversprocket.net/2024/09/17/a...

You're about to see headlines saying abortion pills can't be shipped. THAT IS NOT TRUE You can still get abortion pills by mail to all fifty states. Some providers will switch to miso-only, some will ship both mife & miso. I got into all of this when the federal court ruling first dropped:

Five creators who worked on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast have spent the past year fighting a legal battle against Possum Creek Games and Steve Jackson Games. Neither the tabletop RPG nor their working relationships survived the fallout.

Hey all. One of my students was tragically taken from us last week and they are hoping to bring him home to Florida. My heart is shattered and our entire community is devastated. If you can help in any way, it would mean everything to me. #GoFundMe www.gofundme.com/f/help-bring...

If I may be so bold; I think it's deeply emblematic of how white supremacy is casually upheld that I + the other freelancers spent months constructing a timeline/providing screenshots to back up our experience, and all Jay has to do is make her eyes big and wet and talk about how mean we all are.

I'm running a comics workshop at @fantomcomics.bsky.social in March!! We'll analyze how death can be expressed through comics as an everyday occurrence, a catastrophic event, or anything in between 🌹 If you're in the DMV & interested, grab a ticket here: stores.comichub.com/fantom_comic...

Addendum 2.9.26 re: Yazeba's We have furnished Rascal News with the appropriate screenshots to refute and in one case, contextualize, the claims made by Dragon in her (now edited) Medium post accounting the dispute from her perspective. See communications below.
