The comic that just landed on my desk is EVERYTHING. It's got a Deaf protagonist, mythological creatures, and beautiful art. It's the kind of book that would have meant the world to me as a hard-of-hearing kid. I'm so grateful I get to translate it.

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠

Little pottery drop! There are two #goodomens pieces in there amongst a lot of original work and weird little medieval guys <3 You can check these and the rest of the pieces out here: ko-fi.com/M4M3TF6I/shop

view of the bottom of a ceramic cup featuring black underglaze designs of an eye with a star highlight in the middle of an 8 pointed star and a snake.

Two nested ceramic bowls, they are hand thrown and have medieval inspired vines along the rims

Hand thrown ceramic bowl with monochrome teal dragons around the rim

Two ceramic plates, each featuring the same medieval tree design. In the small plate on the left they are radiating out from a star at the center of the plate. This plate also has a notch cut out of the rim to keep utensils in check. The plate on the right is slightly larger and has 3 trees growing inward from the edges. Both plates have small red flowers all the way around the edge.

F-ing depraved. The IDF edited a photo of the journalist they assassinated and made it look like he was wearing a Hezbollah uniform. They explicitly state that it is legal in Israel to murder journalists. The entire Israeli state is a criminal enterprise.

By the way, in that same assassination, you killed three other journalists. Was he that important that you had to kill other legitimate journalists along with him?

According to you. And it's legitimate to kill him during his journalistic work with other journalists?
He's a military target approved by legal advisers...
Why kill other journalists with him, and why Photoshop?
Ilet you ask at length, and I'll answer without evading anything. He is a terrorist who operated under the guise of a journalist.
