Last tweet before I’m off the platform again for good. My virtual door is always open to anyone working in comics currently, or even wanting to get into it. Predatory industry relies on us not sharing information with each other. Hmu
Palestinian freedom is more than a regional struggle―it's a global fight against authoritarianism, colonialism, and fascism.

@BasileBeguerie This is probably the worst thing I’ve seen in this comics space in a while, maybe ever. I’m not sure how things get better from here tbh.
@ErikThurman But now it feels like he made himself a symbol for people who were already pressed about it. He gave them a weapon. Other than how senseless and selfish the act was, that’s what makes me angry. Ed is dead and everything is worse.
@ErikThurman It feels like a closing of ranks, but really there’s been very few ppl who have fallen on a side that’s surprised me. The industry got a lot more non-white men selling books and running around the fests, and there was already a reaction to the cultural change.
THE ART AUCTION IS OPEN! Binch Press & @QueerWork are raising funds for @MedicalAidPal. 90+ artists - including indie comics greats Eleanor Davis @squinkyelo, Ben Passmore @DAYGLOAYHOLE, Tommi Parish, and Emily Carroll - donated work in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

@michael_deforge@DAYGLOAYHOLE@Kickstarter The wonderful cartoonist Ben Passmore (YOUR BLACK FRIEND, SPORTS IS HELL) titled this glorious piece “ACRAB,” proving yet again that anarchists love dad jokes.
Thrilled to have @michael_deforge, @DAYGLOAYHOLE & #LorenzoMattotti join our mission to weave a more vivid world. A new series of intricately woven art blankets is live on @kickstarter right now. Illuminated Tapestries, for the discerning & the sleepy.

Anyway I hope this don’t hit corny, not trying to pretend my shit is bad. Sending my love to Ian’s people. I hope we can get together as artists and make something happen that’s gonna actually be transgressive.
I’m off twitter, coming back briefly for #comicsbrokeme to say despite having the perfect mix of opportunities to succeed and be successful in comics, numerous awards, ect., and a love of drawing, every book feels like it could be my last.
I’m not rly struggling in this work, I am very comfortable where I’m at, and still I’m thinking about other industry’s to move into because comics isn’t a stable place to work. That fact that even someone like me can’t do this forever feels like sign this shit ain’t right.
