ADAM: Some days I still like to imagine what Marvel would look like now if the gig had gone to Sana Amanat instead of C.B. Cebulski. As Brian and Roger Eno say, “what a world it could have been.”

🧮 80 MPs have now signed the motion to reject the EHRC guidance. This motion alone would not stop it, it would have to be put to a vote. The best way to get that is for it to have an overwhelming number of signatures. Whatever happens, it sends a strong message. edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

It’s so striking when people focus on how horrible they felt it was they were encouraged to stay home when they could in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and not how horrible it felt to see hundreds of thousands of people pass away from COVID-19 in the US and millions around the world.

I vividly remember a talk we hosted at Orbital where someone asked (pleaded with) Trina Robbins, “But wasn’t there something clever and subversive about the problematic stuff in Crumb’s work?” Robbins replied with a simple and unequivocal “No.”

I am respectfully asking people not to platform Joel Meadows / Tripwire magazine. He has made clear his support for Israel's actions, as well as his contempt for people who are appalled by Israel's actions in Gaza and beyond. I am hoping there are others in the comic community who feel the same way.

Delivering a rare slice of comics journalism: I spoke with @jrsosa18.bsky.social about Black art and Black history in a time of erasure I’m really glad for it to be a public conversation I also love when an artist makes the thing they really mean to make, and ANCESTRAL RECALL is absolutely that

Bad news: you’re not immune to propaganda, bias, or perpetuating harmful -isms. Good news: Once you accept this, you can reject harm & join liberation movements! It’s not too late to put on an n95. To oppose genocide. To divest from fascist corps. To demand climate action. To protect trans people.

Wear a mask. Wear a mask. Wear a mask. 😷 Not just at protests! At the grocery store, at the farmer’s market, at the museum, LITERALLY EVERYWHERE. Especially as mask bans become more common, get back into the swing of wearing one to protest fascism and show solidarity with disabled people! Mask up!

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf
The cover spread from a one page zine printout. The left (back cover) features images of a scale and gavel, with notes on First Amendment and filming rights, and the advice to “shut the fuck up.”

On the right is the cover, a megaphone with the title text “PROTEST SAFELY.” Behind it are faceless protestors. The subtitle notes, “A brief collection of tips from around the internet.”A spread from one page zine printout.
On the left is an illustration of a protestor with the title “What to Wear,” including a helmet, goggles, ear plugs, gloves, a mask, a backpack, and layers/long sleeves/pants. Each have additional notes explaining their use.

On the right is “What to Bring,” featuring illustrations of a backpack, money, water bottles, a mask, a granola bar and bag of trail mix, a first aid kit, folded shirt and pants, and an ID, with “DIY Defense” listed underneath it showing one protestor using a luggage case, one holding a trash can lid, and one using an open umbrella as a shield.A spread from one page zine printout.
On the left is “Protect Your Identity,” advising to cover up identifying features, avoiding photography of protesters, deactivating biometric phone-unlocking tools, and writing emergency contact and counsel numbers on your arm.

On the right is “Be Like Water,” the motto of the 2019 Hong Kong protests, and the text “BEWARE THE BAIT” with images of a palette of bricks and a masked man holding a crowbar toward a protestor with a sign, “Psst, free crowbar?” encouraging the reader not to engage with traps and undercover agents.A spread from one page zine printout featuring the hazards of protest opposition, including tear gas, rubber bullets, and LRAD sound cannons and flash bangs. Caution tape images accompany the text explaining the dangers of each, how to flush out eyes that have been maced/etc, and how to extinguish a gas canister with a traffic cone.

Lebanese-American author and mathematicall
statistician Nassim Taleb wrote this on
X/Twitter recently:

If an author or a public figure is too scared or too dependent to afford to speak out on
Gaza & Palestine, their entire body of work is suspicious and, practically, useless. For they are most certainly subservient to dominant establishments in other things as well.

It is a powerful test because, owing to the imbalance of power, it is a typically a
"declaration against interest."
