Reminder that Ferguson is a food desert and school is canceled. People’s movement is restricted. The work of the St Louis Food Bank is vital right now. Help if you can. (x)

These are the two projects (one joint project, really) I really want to start working on. Resource packs, available online, with ebooks/pdfs/mp3s full of interviews and advice from writers and artists and sample scripts you can learn from, all beautiful and simple to read.

They’re what I wished existed when I started writing comics a couple of years ago, and what I could still really benefit from today. The Script Archive, an insanely useful tool for starting writers, has no scripts written by women. I run Queer Comics on twitter, and I know that resources for LGBT Creators are slim pickings too. They really shouldn’t be; the fact that so many webcomics are made by queer creators, and queer women really proves that. 

You want to know people like you are out there doing what you dream of, and there is something special (I think) about feeling connected to them, their process, their journey, and their work. I thought the project up hoping to help give that feeling of connection and potential to anyone who’d benefit from it.

Hello, America! Tomorrow is Election Day, and because it’s so damn important for eligible voters to actually vote, we’re letting you pledge to do so right here on Tumblr. What do you get?

The address of your polling place.

A link to all the stuff on your ballot.

A huge surge of pride about the impact you’re going to make.

A little thing for your web dashboard. 

You’ll see.
