Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

I'm sad to announce that Friday was my last day working for The Beat as an editor and contributing writer. The following statement provides context for my departure.

I'm sad to announce that Friday was my last day working for The Beat as an editor and contributing writer. I've been at the site on and off since 2018, and it's shaped my career in ways I can't begin to describe. I'm so grateful to Heidi, the editors, and the staff and contributing writers who have made my time at the site so wonderful.

However, after a significant amount of thought and conversations with peers and those in my inner circle, as well as my therapist, I also want to share the following.

Journalism in 2026—especially comics journalism, which is so often mistaken for another branch of the PR machine—has a responsibility to not just "report the news," but to ethically consider the companies, publishers, and individuals it platforms. Giving individual writers and editors the ability to opt out of covering "bad actors" is nice, but without institutional backing, this method lacks teeth and will not lead to the change we desperately need. It also hangs individuals out to dry in an industry that infamously blackballs anyone who gets too loud about what's not working.

Dozens of passionate, talented, hard-working creators have been driven from this industry because of how it enables abusers not just behind the scenes, but blatantly in the public eye. While it may be challenging to acknowledge complacency as a widespread and systemic issue, it is our responsibility as ethical reporters to consider deplatforming those who significantly outpace their competitors in hiring and furthering the careers of those whose misconduct has destroyed the careers of countless people while they face few to no consequences for their harmful actions.

An editor once told me that I could be a journalist or an activist, but I could not be both. This statement has shaped the course of my career significantly over the last decade and will continue to do so, as I believe quite firmly that solutions-based journalism—the kind with teeth that isn't afraid to take a stand against those perpetuating harm for the betterment of not just particular industries, but the world as a whole—is the future.

Thank you for following my work so far, and I hope you'll stick around to see what's next.

Just a little thing I wanted to say: I wouldn't have the career that I've had without the support of libraries. My books aren't bestsellers, but they circulate very well. It's truly wonderful for me to hear from librarians how much the kids who frequent their libraries love my comics.
