I'm so disheartened at how this Tapas closure was handled by Kakao. As an employee I wasn't surprised we got screwed over, but I didn't expect the same for readers. It all just sucks. I'm heartbroken, genuinely.

Hi friends! this is still moving through the US Congress. It’s basically an anti-trans censorship bill disguised as “protecting children” (and its worded so vague, a corgi butt could be “obscene”) You wanna do something for #TDOV ? Call your reps. Call for all your trans friends 🤍🩵🩷

I’m so excited to share the results of our first ever Spin Rack Comics Jam! The theme we chose was “ghosts,” and everyone went different directions with it, so I’m looking forward to getting to read them all myself! We have 11 short comics perfect for the spooky season here itch.io/b/3344/spin-...

A collection of 11 comic covers on a spooky cobwebbed background with the text “Spin Rack Comics Bundle” and “Available now on itch.io” with a QR code in the middle right area.

A watercolor cover image shows boots walking down a pebbly road with a gnarled walking stick, a skirt and coat flowing above. All is in blue-grey tones except for bright cobalt floating will-o-the-wisps.

Title text: When I Was Walking Home Last Night”
Author text: by Lucy Kagan

A watercolor back cover image: A young woman in a big coat holding a walking stick squats on the ground putting herbs into her rucksack while looking up to see the stars begin to emerge. She’s deep in shadowy bushes in the woods.

Text: Heading home through the forest, a local mage discovers that there is more going on in it than she had ever noticed before. A mysterious spirit guides her through places she’s never seen before, but for what purpose?

Clark has a secret to tell Lois...and it's that DC GOTCHA FOR GAZA is back baby!! #Art #Comics #DCcomics #Superman #Artsky

Panel 1: Clark Kent looks to the side, mulling over his words carefully.
Clark: “Ms. Lane, there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you for a long time.”
Panel 2: Clark looks to his other side, hesitantly gesturing. We see him standing in front of a window with an orange sun set. Lois looks at him in the foreground.
Clark: “I don’t know why I waited. What it says about me that I kept putting this off.”
Panel 3: Clark looks up hopefully at Lois off panel.
Clark: “But I’m ready to tell you now.”
Panel 4: Lois looks nervous, unsure of what Clark is trying to tell her.
Lois: “Clark… what are you talking about?”
Panel 5: Clark grips his white shirt with both his hands. His tie loose. Clark’s eyes are closed, determined.
Clark: “Lois, the truth is…I’m…”

I have some more detailed thoughts on this, but it really blows that SCBWI is so cost prohibitive. I've never pursued membership because of the cost, but if I did in order to join their digital conference to access the "put your portfolio in front of art directors" add on, I'd be out $300ish.
