On this day 2017: Actor Alec Baldwin does his impression of then-President Donald Trump during a speech during the Iowa Democratic Party's Fall Gala.

Election Night 2022 saw the "red wave" hit Iowa hard. Republicans now hold 4/4 US House seats, 3/4 statewide executive seats, the governor's office, and made gains to their state legislative majorities.

But on the south side of Des Moines my friend Megan Srinivas, an infectious disease doctor and first generation American, won a seat in the state legislature.

I loved Spider-Man longer than I knew what love is and there is no reason why Peter Parker has to be white.

Now I really want Dev Patel to play Spider-Man.

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)

STL FOOD BANK

If you are like me, and of a very, very practical bent, there is literally no higher or best use of your latte money than to feed kids. In the BEST of times, food insecurity is a huge childhood issue throughout the United States, and one that somehow gets truly ignored for sexier causes.

But with schools being shut down in Ferguson, that’s some kids’ meal for the damn day. It’s even more dire. I cannot be more serious about this, even a dollar goes so far at these food banks, they don’t need awareness, they need MONEY. Currency is the currency of the realm.

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.

I’ve started putting together and requesting interviews and searching out people willing to donate script pdfs, but I don’t know yet if I can even afford to devote the time they deserve to get done — or if there are people out there who need this kind of thing the way I imagined. If you’re interested in the project, have any advice or insight to share, or are a comic writer interested in talking to me about your work, please signal boost and let me know! Is this something people want?

Yes please!
