No Kings Alliance β€” No Kings Authoritarianism thrives on silence. The No Kings Alliance exists to make capitulation impossibleβ€”and resistance unstoppable.

If you're wondering what part of the post #NoKings plan is to galvanize the 7 million people who took to the streets, the next phase is a weekly call to action with specific asks that you can do to help. You can find each week's here:

Nothing fills me with a sense of dread quite like the work of artist Chris Van Allsburg. When I was very young, his illustrations terrified me just as much as the ones in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, but in a way I didn't even have words to describe yet. He was liminal before liminal was cool

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS
You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney β€” no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

Ironically, for being as difficult as this game is, the final boss was a bit of a pushover... πŸ€”

(I didn't get the true ending/true final boss yet so I'll most likely change my tune once I do, but still)

Anyway video games are super cool, Silksong is a masterpiece, and Team Cherry is great for making adjustments to make the game more enjoyable for everyone. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

And the edgelords crying that the game won’t be as hard anymore, hey, guess what? You can still play the base game! Don’t download the patch! It’s that easy πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

I feel just as strongly about accessibility in video games. They should be fun, and some people need an extra hand. I really feel like this first Silksong patch was the right move for a lot of reasons and allows the folks not in the β€œgit gud” crowd to have fun too. The game IS STILL DIFFICULT.

I feel very strongly about meeting a piece of media where it is: not expecting it to be something it’s not, e.g. reading a romance novel & being upset there’s smut in it. I feel the same about video games, this one in particular, but I also feel that games need to meet players where they’re at.

The folks who are yelling about Team Cherry nerfing Moorwing and Sister Splinter also say that Savage Beastfly is too hard. I had such a bad time with the first two, to the point I wanted to quit the game, but I cleared the beastfly in two tries. It’s funny how that works out.

The Silksong difficulty discourse is the funniest thing to me. Different people are good at different things!! I am having the time of my life with the platforming sections but am not as good at the combat. I’m sure it’s the opposite for some people. We all have strengths/weaknesses!

After banging my head against the wall for multiple hours on multiple bosses, I gave myself permission just to watch strategy videos πŸ˜† I'm actually pretty good at all of the platforming and other aspects of the game so I figure it evens out. Still stuck on the last Act 1 boss though haha

Feeling angry and bitter about a lot of things today but at least it's Thursday, which means a new ep of DanDaDan, and Silksong later. Also hot coffee right now.

I constantly say that everyone in comics should cross-train. Yeah, I may be a letterer/designer, but I've done stints in almost all the other fields: coloring, editing, illustrating, writing... it makes me MUCH better at my job and at communicating.

The editorial end of this overlaps significantly but also includes (among many others):

-Once-joyful project turned nightmare due to higher-up fuckery
-Fighting for a book or license you *know* will succeed, vetoed by publisher, goes on to be wildly successful elsewhere
