I don’t know what’s wilder: sitting two seats away from Michelle Yeoh at a TIFF screening OR finding out that the director of her movie currently works as a doctor at a hospital I was just at back home.

Canadians! What Canada-specific movie theatre concessions do you recommend to a visitor? I just panic-bought something called a Glosette and I’m curious what I should prioritize

This. When an IP is owned by a living person who is using the money from said IP to inflict lasting harm on a vulnerable minority, there is no possible way to separate the art from the artist.

this was difficult to read, but it's important to know people are currently in prison for 50+ years for attending a protest + one wasn't even at the protest, but got sentenced for 30 years for "concealing" anarchist zines

“Why didn’t the Gaiman story break inside of comics journalism first?” All of this but DRAMATICALLY decrease that freelance rate to zeroish. And as you might expect, “zeroish” also means no one has money for legal council if a millionaire author, for example, wants you to shut up.

hello mutuals! I'm doing some summer cleaning and have three small pieces of original art I've acquired through comics festivals that I'd love to mail to new homes, totally for free! one is an ink piece of Hellboy. one is a cute animal. one is, like, neon spooky. DM if interested!

My thoughts on Image publishing a new Warren Ellis book.

I have spent the day re-reading the entirety of SoManyOfUs.com, including every testimonial. I’ve also re-read dozens of documents and communications from the transformative justice action SMOU-TJ and Warren Ellis started. I wanted to remember the hope I held at that time. I also wanted to see if I could approach this moment with gratitude instead of anger.
To believe in transformative justice is to believe people capable of change. But, as our mediator said during the process, “transformation is heartbreak.” It is crushing and painful, but it is also our right as human beings. I haven’t spoken to Warren Ellis in over 6 years. I don’t know who he is now. I don’t know how he’s changed, but I’m sure he has. I know Warren read all of SoManyOfUs.com and I can’t imagine an outcome where doing so doesn’t change you. But, as Kai Cheng Thom says, “Change is inevitable, growth is optional.” I was often sad that Warren, when confronted with the consequences of his actions, didn’t react in the way I expected him to. But I am grateful it led to me untangling 15 years of complicated feelings and hurtful actions.
I’m grateful that I believe we can change and hold ourselves accountable in this world. But, quoting our mediator again, “being called to accountability feels like being reminded that your shit stinks. and coming clean is hard to do.” It can feel impossible to look in the mirror and confront the worst version of ourselves. Without having the necessary support systems in place to make it possible, I don’t blame or fault anyone for not being able to do it.
We all tried our best. When our attempt at a community accountability action failed, I was disappointed, but grateful that we tried. And grateful to know that Warren had tried, too.

I currently work as an editor in comics, with books I work on being published by Image. I love comics. I love the comics community and how we all keep making them despite it being so hard, with no financial security, and no safety nets. I see groups within the community doing so much good and fighting hard to make the industry more sustainable and safer for everyone involved.
But there is no set process for anyone in the comics community to account for our actions and change our behaviour after harm or abuse has happened. This has led many people to be forced out of the industry – victims, perpetrators, and witnesses. My heart hurts for all the people who were bullied, ostracized, shunned, or threatened out of this community, particularly those I spoke to back in June and July of 2020, impacted by Warren’s actions. I hope one day this changes.
I’m grateful to everyone who was wondered if Warren has “made amends to the satisfaction of all involved.” It shows me solidarity and care are widespread within comics. I wouldn’t say I’m satisfied, but I also would say I am no longer personally invested in Warren’s transformation.
I am personally invested in the books I work on that come out with Image, and I really hope you don’t take any disappointment you feel in Image’s actions out on the creators whose work they publish. Seeing people boycotting Image comics feels a cruel joke when that directly affects my livelihood and that of the people who respect and support me. But I get it – this seems like a financial decision from Image, so respond in a financial fashion. I hope we can all keep ourselves open to change in the future.
My resolve to expand my capacity to hope for change – after a night of anger and crying and shouting – is renewed. Thanks for hearing me out and for reading all of this.

I've been casually checking out a bunch of the comics shows from the boom a while back and most of them are bad, underwhelming, or bewildering Stargirl—which I had no particular excitement for initially—is way more capable written and plotted than I've come to expect

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

LRP i genuinely think the answer to most questions that go like "why aren't more _____ books being made at all/anymore" is almost never "because authors don't want to write them/haven't considered it," it's NEAR universally "because publishers have decided they don't sell well enough" haha

Happy Pride. This month we're honoring queer comics pioneers who built the road we walk on. First up: Howard Cruse. He founded Gay Comix in 1980 and created Wendel for The Advocate in 1983. The godfather of queer comics. We exist because he did.
