Hi, all! I kind of slid off Tumblr around the time the NSFW blocking started but I’m really uncomfortable with the current state of affairs on Twitter at the moment, especially given their current owner posting dangerous and defamatory conspiracy theories, and so am considering starting to post here again, though I will say that I am deeply unhappy about the exclusionary attitudes @staff has taken toward sex work and adult content on tumblr and I hope Automattic will reconsider with enough public pressure.

If we are Twitter mutuals and you’re also trying to use tumblr more, lmk who you are on Twitter and I’ll add you over here. I want to make sure I can find people I have close online relationships with so if I don’t follow you on Twitter I probably will not follow you here right away either so I don’t overdo my follow count but please feel free to read my posts here!

Anyway, hi! I guess if you don’t follow me on Twitter it’s probably a good idea for me to share the biggest news I have which is that @postcardsfromspace and I are expecting a tiny human in December! We made a website for them here: http://www.impendinghuman.com

Not sure if coming back here will stick but SWE problems aside this still feels like a more ethical choice than the bird site at the moment for general microblogging type stuff. Love to everyone! 💖

I have some big news!

Today was my last day at King Features.

I was offered a choice between a very reduced role and a severance package, and I took it as a sign that the universe is telling me to try new things! I have been there for 16 years!

I’ll be available for new opportunities for 2025.

Just some highlights of the past 16 years:

Working as a comic editor with beloved humor, action-adventure, and soap opera comics

Writing and editing brand and character bibles for properties with over 100 years of history

Managing a roster of close to 100 comic writers and artists

Revamping classic characters for a contemporary audience

Overseeing all stages of content approvals for an international licensed book program

Developing entertainment pitch resources for beloved comic characters

Managing social media accounts for character brands

Building custom websites either from scratch or on Wordpress

Managing an active submissions and acquisitions program

Writing about comic art & history

Writing marketing copy for characters and comics

Some things I’ve only done a little of but would love to do more of, and things I haven’t done but would love to try:

Fiction writing

Comic writing

Game writing

Developing new stories and characters from the ground up

You can find my resume and writing samples at http://www.teaberryblue.com

If you know of someone who needs someone like me, tell them to get in touch!

@teaberryblue and I have been in close touch with Haneen for the last few months. If you can, please, PLEASE help her so that she can get to safety and start a family. <3

[teaberryblue]

Haneen is so lovely and I know she’s going to be a great mom someday! Can you help her and her husband survive so she can restart her IVF journey and have a child? Thank you all so much!

“Mrs R” was the pseudonym of Phyllis Shafer, a Kansas City local who helped found the Phoenix Society for Individual Freedom in 1966, a full three years before Stonewall. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, she and her son Drew operated the Phoenix House, a safe haven for queer people in the city, and a hub of national queer activism. Drew passed away due to AIDS related complications in the 1980s, and his lover, Mickey Ray, spent the rest of his life fighting to keep his memory alive, largely contributing to the creation of the Gay and Lesbian Archive of Mid-America.

Before Stonewall, this Kansas City activist helped unite the national gay rights movement

Years before the Stonewall uprising, Drew Shafer started Kansas City's first gay rights organization and published the first LGBTQ magazine

“We tend to view American history as this constant march toward progress, which is total crap,” he says. “You gotta fight for that stuff. And if you don't fight for that, you can fall backward. Like it's not just this linear history."

Good quote from the article which may be relevant right now.

In light of current events, now seemed like a good time to re-post the free stencil version of our intersections t-shirt.

Customize, vandalize, and modify to your heart’s content; just don’t sell.

people who want to live in lighthouse - i hear you, i understand you

living in water tower

[matka--boska]

safer (you not gonna die horrid death so easy), not so cursed but still ominous, you are alone bc you are in a tower but you can do groceries no problem, just chilling above everything else

[matka--boska]

and look at those beauties!! (from Poland <3)

[alchemist-jijo]

as an american i was very confused by this post until i got to the images because our water towers look like this, which, as you can imagine, is a completey unsexy place to live

[bisexualshakespeare]

[ID: first set of images are photos of brick towers, with a tall spire and windows all the way down, some painted brightly and some faded with time. Last two images are metal pill shaped buckets sitting on four metal legs. /end]

The Museum of Science in Boston has been raising funds to build a statue in memorial to Leonard Nimoy (who loved the museum and grew up right near it) and I’m SHOCKED at how far they still have to go. Leonard Nimoy was an activist, a proud Jew who inspired so many other Jewish people to be proud of their heritage, and a lover of science, art, and curiosity. If anyone deserves a statue in their honor at the museum he loved, it’s him.

The Museum of Science is a wonderful organization. They support local programs, they’re partnered with the New England Aquarium, they hand out free passes all the time (I got a bunch at the Dyke March last year), they tell the truth and strive to be diverse and accessible (they let people borrow wheelchairs and ECV’s for free!) and they run on community support. Please share their fundraiser!

{{MetaTags.description}}

I understand if it’s more important to you to share fundraisers for individuals in need. It is a very noble thing to do, and I think Leonard would agree. If you care about this though, everything is appreciated, and I know he has a lot of love on this website.

This tweet is a winner, hands down. I was thoroughly amused.
