I think people catching measles then dying is bad, and that the govt should see zero measles deaths as the goal—like America had until recently—rather than see measles as a positive, culling the population of people with other health conditions. Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

Sometimes I like to pull a book from a shelf and leaf through it then stop at a random page. This one is awesome, taken from the Hey, Amateur! Tbp, Black Crown, IDW. Art by Cathy Brett, autobiographical story by @gailsimone.bsky.social ❤️
En anglais d’abord puis en Français:

This is a comic book page titled "How to Destroy the Internet." Renowned comic book writer Gail Simone—illustrated by Cathy Brett—depicts herself writing an absurd Twitter post (the year is 2020) along the lines of "The Punisher should smile!" Immediately, male fanboys flood in with passive-aggressive retorts like, "So *this* is what happens when women write comics!" The writer calmly sips her tea while scrolling through all these angry messages, then concludes with a smile: "I am like upon a goddess."

Une page de Bande Dessinée intitulée: Comment détruire Internet. Gail Simone, grande autrice de comics, dessinée par Cathy Brett, se décrit en train d’écrire un post aburde sur Twitter ( nous sommes en 2020 ) de type: « Le Punisher devrait sourire ! » et aussitôt affluent des fanboys ( mec) rétorquant avec des messages passifs-agressifs du genre : « Ah voilà ce qui se passe quand les femmes écrivent des comics! ». L’autrice boit tranquillement le thé en parcourant tous ces messages énervés puis conclue en souriant: « Je suis semblable à une déesse. »

If an Al future is what I'm getting left behind from, then Christ, just leave me behind.
A girl can only pivot so much, hoss, and I hung up my pivotin' boots some time ago. I don't make videos even though that was supposedly the future of writing ten years ago — I mean, I guess I do, but they're little banjo practice videos for my friends, not expressions of a desperate careerist impulse. I use social media with the attention-crazed dopesickness of an addict, not the care and forethought of a professional, as any cursory read of my posts will confirm. I'm a writer by trade — a creative, as you might say — and here you are, running a business you don't even understand into the ground, deskilling my trade and expecting a thank you when you explain how you're doing it. If I don't devalue myself the way you continually devalue me, you warn, l'll be left behind. Okay, says I! Quit making it my problem and go! The dust you leave me in will settle, and in the meantime, I will keep doing my work in much the way I've done it since | first became literate.
