Comic Book Squares Nov 18, 2022

We were finding a lot of the #comicbook creators we interviewed through Twitter, so if that shuts down, we’re hoping to find folks through here. If your a #comics #writer or #artist please follow us and reboost this post so we can get in touch with more folks! Our main goal is to support the #indiecomics community, and we have a big announcement coming up on how we’re expanding that support!

@RyeBread a safe space where friends and family could find an accepting community. A place to go when other doors were closed.

Did you see their Thanksgiving meal they had planned? They'll probably cancel, leaving people to have to celebrate alone. We'll need to open our homes to fill a void many of us have been unaware of.

Today is #TransDayOfRemembrance

Today, I ask that if trans ppl are usually not at the forefront of your mind, give some thought to how you can show up for us with more than platitudes.

I recommend:

🏳‍⚧Looking up antitrans legislation in your community and contacting your rep about it (US site: http://bit.ly/3UQDz0A)

🏳‍⚧Donating to the Trans Law Center @ https://transgenderlawcenter.org/donate (or a trans charity in your country)

🏳‍⚧Telling your transphobic uncle that he's an asshole

Today is #TransDayofRemembrance when we honor and remember trans lives taken by violence. How horrifying that a deadly attack upon the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado Springs should occur right before this solemn day.
Hate isn’t born in us. It is taught. It must end.
This starts with our political leaders, who must cease their cynical attacks against our community before another attack occurs.
Call out the hate. Remind them of its consequences. Hold them to account.

@RyeBread thank you for keeping us posted. I'm terrified for my friends and family that frequent Club Q. Any spring Springs people with more information would be much appreciated.
