Are you a comics fan? Do you follow the person formerly known as @CarolGSLIS (now .@AnUncivilPhD )? Follow me for more comics less activism!

[Carol Tilley @ComicsCrusader]

Hey friends - I tweet much less frequently here these days. Catch me over at @AnUncivilPhD if you don't want to miss out on any of the weird fun. 💜

This comic is making the rounds again. It might be my favorite that I've made.

Hi. Please include community college representatives on panels about the future of education. More than 40% of undergrad students in the U.S. attend a #CommunityCollege & most (~56%) identify as a person of color. When CCs are left out, structural inequities are reinforced.

My new least favorite thing: folks who are pirating my work and adding insult to injury by being mean and rude about it. (BTW - This color job is like a punch in the neck).

Teacher Tip:

Don't give a kid grief for needing a pen or pencil. Pick your battles. Too many people are already picking battles with our students. It's just a pen.

[Tom Heintjes (@hogansalley.bsky.social on Bluesky) @Hoganmag]

I was rereading @ComicsCrusader's article from Hogan's Alley #22 about the Open Road for Boys cartooning contest. I was struck again by these kids' talent. A few examples: Bill Peet was 18, Jack Davis was 14, Reed Crandall was 14...some people were meant to be great cartoonists.

Physician representation in comics is becoming more realistic, but racial and gender diversity remains lacking. @ComicsCrusader https://t.co/PRSKCOEBqR

Today in Comics History: On Superman's radio program, the first episode of the 16-part story "Clan of the Fiery Cross" premiered on June 10, 1946. The storyline made public some secret codes used by the KKK (supplied by an informant), humiliating the Klan. https://t.co/35Q3IpJYdm

Happy to be included in this important conversation on the role of critical thinking in understanding the media environment. #iSchoolUI

[The 21st Show @21stShow]

"One of the things that has to happen is this disposition to always be critical, to persevere, to check multiple sources," says Carol Tilley (@ComicsCrusader) w/ @iSchoolUI. "At the end of the day, the disposition at some level has to be intrinsic, it has to be internal."
