So, #introduction

My profile pretty much says it all, but I'm a #comics obsessive graphic designer/cartoonist. I love #typography, #books, #apple and I hate Nazis.

I also support the #Arsenal football club, but don't hold that against me 😋

I suppose an #introduction is in order. I write a lot about #comics and comics fandom. My book on #Webcomics was nominated for Eisner Award in 2021. I also do the "Incidental Iconography" column for Jack Kirby Collector and I blog at KleefeldonComics.com.

I've got a day job, too, but you don't want to hear about that.

For the #NeverEndingStory nerds, a fave clip that had my family giggling all through dinner:

RT Indigenous activist Kelly Hayes:

I'm exiting 2022 by fundraising with Mariame Kaba in support of REBUILD, which connects formerly incarcerated folks with therapists of color. From experience, chasing down mental healthcare for someone scarred by the prison system is a nightmare. Let's help.

None of us know whether Twitter will be here, at this time next year, or if it will have the same utility to us, if it does exist...

I wrote about how I cannot understand why anyone is interested in joining a new centralized social media platform when we now have a great opportunity to move to protocols instead of platforms. https://www.techdirt.com/2022/12/21/why-would-anyone-use-another-centralized-social-media-service-after-this/

Mastodon needs more #Mohawk people posting so the top results aren't photos of hair. I'd guess the search results are similarly muddied for #Apache #Cherokee #Winnebago #Cree and others. They steal our people and our names. They try to erase us.

Normalize Black people coming to this app being safe to speak their minds. What we bring up might abut internal discomfort and biases that you might hold.

It is your responsibility to not create yet another space where Black people are marginalized or silenced.
I’ve been calculated about bringing this up and now is the time.💖✊🏽
