@sixfoot-ant.bsky.socialReposted by @joandark.comIf you're in Australia, consider signing this to support Children's Ground. It's a successful program by and for First Nations people to provide cultural and welfare services for kids. They could do a lot more with real gov funding. action.childrensground.org.au
@littlebadger.bsky.socialReposted by @joandark.comHeeeey. You know a great way to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day? But my book! It tells the story of four Lipan Apache cousins who defy fate. Five starred reviews, and just released this week! Wowie look at that cover by Abigail Rajunov. <3 Thanks for sharing it, Mom! bookshop.org/p/books/chil...

@mskellymhayes.bsky.socialReposted by @joandark.comSo, if you're feeling tired, burnt out, or discouraged, do what you've gotta do. Tend your wounds. Hug your cat. Watch some bad TV. Don't argue in circles with strangers on social media. Don't tell everyone they're doomed. The world does not need your particular spin on giving up.
@headfallsoff.comReposted by @joandark.comthe "you can't avoid AI, it's in all software now" argument might be true for infrastructure, where we have limited agency over the platforms and systems that make up our society, but is hilariously untrue for video games, a completely optional and easily ignored part of all of our lives

@newlevant.bsky.socialReposted by @joandark.comI did a panel at NYCC yesterday, and today I see an audience member post about how they were sick on the last day, but “felt energized walking through artist alley.” Just a reminder that these events are super high exposure and we can’t assume people will stay home OR mask up when sick 😩

@lucieebrey.bsky.socialReposted by @joandark.comFellas, after 6 days bed bound I can finally sit up again and look at emails and waddle around my flat. Got struck with either the flu or the newest scary strain of COVID. Mask up! Don't be like me and think the seasonal nasties wouldn't get you yet. I genuinely have not been so ill in YEARS.

@akilwilson.blacksky.appReposted by @joandark.comI’m not trying to be snarky about this, but what if Disney and WB treated comics not just as R&D, but as a loss leader, to push their franchises forward, by paying comics creators a competitive professional wage and offering a health care system similar to that available to the film and tv unions…

@bpie7.bsky.socialReposted by @joandark.comIt's so rare that you lose a favorite food joint in NYC and then get to see it return, but I'm thrilled that my longtime fave vegan restaurant Red Bamboo is back, now at 307 West 38th Street for takeout and delivery! Check them out: www.redbamboo-nyc.com
@christinelove.bsky.socialReposted by @joandark.comToday's the 10th anniversary of the original release of Ladykiller in a Bind on October 10, 2016. I've got a whole lot of thoughts I'll share next week, but today, I just want to express my gratitude to everyone who's been here supporting me since then. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart 😭
