Not sure how Mackin does “not-see” how far from their alleged intentions the actual usage will be?

Brilliant!

I want AI to include one line in a business agreement that says “everything in this is null and void once signed” just to fuck with the type of person who would use AI to write their legal contracts.

Per usual, I didn’t take nearly enough pics.
#ComicsPRO was an amazing opportunity to talk libraries with some very engaged comics retailers and publishers.
Grateful to have been invited!

Big thanks to @oni-press.bsky.social, Shannon Live, Katie Pryde and the ComicsPRO board.

Do I have any fellow femmes in comics who would like to be official guests of the Creators Assemble annual networking event at Wondercon? Friday, March 27 in the afternoon.

Badges will be provided

The number of folks who would come into the library and proudly proclaim that they hadn’t “been to one of these since the 4th grade!”
Like yea, we can tell. #notaflex

My rule following teenager stepped outside of her comfort zone to join the student protest today. She was so scared of potential consequences from her school but said she’s so glad to have taken a stand.
Proud of her and every other kid that used their voices today! #iceout

You’re too kind!

I’ll be doing some talks at ComicsPRO about comics retailer and publisher outreach to libraries.
Looking forward to my first PRO! Anything I should know or plan to do?

Spent the day with grandpa, who turned 100 in Sept & still lives independently.
Secrets to his longevity, by my observation, include his kindness & dedication to betterment of all. Plus he doesn’t scrimp on what makes him happy. Like lots of chocolate.

I am running around my house yelling
WE DID IT!!
$$$ for great charities and my first ever comics story will see daylight, along with so much other coolness.

Thanks @jmbrandt.bsky.social for steering this big ship!!

Horror Not Hate An anti-fascist, anti-hate anthology of horror comics and art supporting LGBTQIA+ and Immigrant rights!

I wrote a cool story and, along with lots of other deeply cool stories with gorgeous illustrations, it deserves to be seen.

Plus, all proceeds go to 2 great charities.

Please back if you can, and share about this project! 7 days to go!!

Happy birthday!

But will you wear it?

'Books are going to take longer to get to libraries': What Baker & Taylor's demise means for comics - The Comics Journal Diamond’s disintegration is not the only crisis facing comics publishers these days. The latest distribution company ceasing to exist is the venerable library distributor Baker & Taylor. If you’re not...

In case you forgot, on top of everything else, comics distribution is still forked

Generative tech is *totally* ready to give advice and make complex decisions. I mean, look what it's done for advertising.

Also, the Deluxe Print edition of QUINCE is really really cool.

It does a great job offering both languages and has plenty of useful guides for discussion and classroom use.

Heads up 🧊 is now on this app (@icegov)
I have reported and blocked them, so do with this info as you will.

This is what happens when libraries partner with/rely on for-profit tech companies. When I posted fantasizing about libraries having police-sized budgets, it means libraries could afford to develop their own open source software and not rely on AI slop machines.

Q: What do @monibarre.bsky.social @davidbooher.bsky.social @rdouek.com @francescafantini.bsky.social & @gvonstoddard.bsky.social have in common?

A: They're all part of this new incredible, anti-fascist anthology that's LIVE NOW on KS.

You've, backed it, right?

I feel like I’m ending 2025 as the one on the table.
Regardless, this was a fun panel!

The @creatorsassemble.bsky.social Holiday Heroes project pairs hospitalized children with artists to create custom superhero art.

It’s a privilege to spread cheer to these special kids!

Big shoutout to the artists, providers, families, and donors who helped make it happen this year!
