“political violence” is when violence is done to a politician. everything they cause is a different thing and you shouldn’t worry about it

I need to reiterate for some people who are new here (I know that those who know, know) that First Second has been doing adult graphic novels—yes including fiction—since 2006. So our love and service to adult GN isn’t new, we now just have bigger guns to really show off.

“23rd Street Books, the grown-up sister imprint of Macmillan’s eclectic graphic novel powerhouse, First Second Books, will launch next year with graphic novels from Gene Luen Yang, Damon Wayans Jr., Saul Williams, Ben Hatke, and more.”— Publisher’s Weekly www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

A job I was looking forward to just fell through because I requested a very basic “please don’t feed my work into the AI garbage chute pls” clause in the contract That was apparently against company policy and non-negotiable If anyone needs a book cover I have an opening in my schedule

wow, standing on principle sure is expensive

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

It’s so cool that cities are like “pweeease only turn your AC on if you’re actively dying and don’t go below 79 🥺🤘🏻💗” while the AI nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1 image of a girl with 5 tits

It's time for publishers to add a full credits page to books to acknowledge the many people who contribute their labor, writes @maris.bsky.social

the fun thing about the word "comics" is that it is often used to refer to like five separate forms of publishing, all of which work in completely different ways and are united only by the fact that 99% of the people involved are not getting paid enough

Comic writers should read this! I talk about this and other tips on how writers can be better collaborators (and ppl!) in a 3-part interview with @wwacomics.bsky.social. In short, do better, give a fuck, and let go of your ego. Links below.

This meme resurfaced on comics social media over the last few weeks. I hate it. I hate this meme with the white-hot fury of a thousand suns. I hate it so much that I wrote an essay about it over on my blog. stevebryantcomics.com/2024/06/01/y...

Right, so I used to do due diligence for private equity funds and I used some of those skills to dig deeper into this potemkin village of a company. Buckle up, kiddos! (1/?)

Literally the first coup of an elected government in this country happened in response to multiracial electoral success. Not only can it happen here, it already has, multiple times.

Grappling with Reconstruction and Jim Crow should really immunize people against all the “glorious tradition as the oldest consolidated democracy” nonsense, and against all “It can’t happen here” talk: It literally happened here before, in reaction to the first attempt at biracial democracy.
