OMG my partner commissioned this from Kimberly Brumble (bonesandstars on Insta). Now my #twerkwithlizzo moment is forever memorialized in this amazing comic-book-style art! @lizzo gave me such a gift this year by letting me grace the stage with her!
Description: Cartoon of me in a sparkly purple romper leaning over twerking w/ silver cape flared out behind me. On the left is @Lizzo in a light blue bodysuit, squatting down & looking at my booty in amazement. The background is purple w/ gold on top & white circles of light.
GIF of the moment this art captures. #twerkwithlizzo
And here again is the essay I wrote for @Vox about my #twerkwithlizzo experience as an act of #pleasureactivism.

I’m glad to see folks talking about AG’s new disabled character. I’ve been writing about disability in the brand for years. Gabriella in 2018 was the first explicitly disabled main character though one could argue McKenna & Maryellen are too.
Here’s one of my articles on disability and the brand samischalk.com/wp-content/upl…
Here’s another on #disability in AG historical fiction

Black folks in SFF & black folks in SFF only (do not respond if this doesn’t apply to you please): Has anyone else noticed how some Afrofuturism fan groups/lists become a gathering space for hoteps & their particular brand of misogyny & racial essentialism?
I’m in two groups & it seems to be getting worse. I feel like the rise of popularity of #afrofuturism & #africanfuturism has attracted a lot of problematically/single issue pro-black kind of cis men who seem to hate women, queers & mixed race folks. Am I just in bad groups?
I tried to post in the group naming what I’m seeing and asking folks for suggestions of other groups and this is what I got from the admin of the Afrofuturism group on FB so I left.

I was feeling so sad to leave & a miracle happened. Our driver stopped at a roadside stand in Montego Bay for us to get a final fresh coconut. We were getting ready to leave when a truck pulled up on the road honking.
I looked at it and was like “that looks like my brother’s truck.” And sure enough, it was my brother driving a delivery for work! He saw us on the side of the road & stopped! He came out to give me a final hug & goodbye. Jamaica just blessed me with a final goodbye miracle 🖤🇯🇲🖤
Seriously, what a storybook perfect end to an awe-inspring trip!

With Christmas coming up I wanted to share this BRILLIANT #calcio book I found in Italy last month...

It’s a #comicbook style biography of Roberto #Baggio. A brilliant concept, superbly executed

A short thread of page shots with details of the illustrator & where to buy it
1/5
It covers all parts of #Baggio’s career with accompanying comic book narrative - easy enough to follow even for a non-Italian speaker!

As you might expect, quite heavy coverage of the 94 #WorldCup

Alright Homestuck Twitter here's some internet history regarding the MSPA fandom and its outsized influence on the Internet culture of the decade that's about to end.

We first, need to start with Jailbreak all the way back in the mid 00s. (1 out of a lot)
Before Jailbreak Hussie was just one in a sea of mostly forgotten Webcomic hopefuls who most wouldn't have figured would have amounted to much.

In these days, Megatokyo was still popular (I would like to apologise on behalf of all 00s kids for that)
Penny Arcade and CAD had dominated the webcomic scape with "gamer humor" (Loss was still years away at this point) and in terms of overarching webcomic epics; Order of the Stick was probably at the top of the pile; serving as critical role before critical role.

MEA CULPA:

🔹If it’s the victors, and oppressors, who write the history books, how can we ever truly know what stories were lost?
🔹Has it never occurred to you as somewhat odd, that despite historical accounts of advanced civilizations from 2000 BC, and onwards, ...
...that very few of these great cultures are mentioned much in the Bible? Never mind those that came before them❗️
🔹The main trajectory of biblical historical value, appears to be limited to such a small region of the world; namely, Israel, and surrounds. (Including Egypt.)...
That is; I mean, ISis-RA-EL‘s land❗️
(What’s in a name, ja?)
🔹There weren’t many other nations mentioned much; not even many Westerners /Europeans,

I didn't realize Police Quest 3 had an EGA/Tandy version! I kinda want to play it now.
at some point I'm gonna have to add it to the generator, given that it's got these big portraits and fun comic-book style dialogue bubbles
fun fact: I think Police Quest 3 is the first commercial game I ever bought.
I'd played PQ1 and PQ2 on "borrowed" copies, I'd had commercial software gifted to me for birthdays and the like, and I'd "bought" shareware disks, but the first boxed commercial game was PQ3.

The Gift of Fear, by Gavin de Becker
"Predatory animals devour prey in order to convert flesh into fuel. Most human predators, however, seek power, not food. To destroy or damage something is to take its power. To push a pie into the face of the world's richest man is to take his power, if only for a moment."
Chapter 1 opens with a play-by-play of Kelly's interaction with a stranger. She's heading home with her hands full, when a bag gives way, and a young man appears, offering his help. He talks too much, insists on following her up, and into her home. He rapes and almost kills her.

Once you, as a creator, take in commissions, you're exposing what's most likely your weakest link: Marketing and business, something that's almost never taught in any creative school.

In 2016, I got 1 creative commission. I average about 30 a year now. Here's a thread on how:
-Assume you will not be rewarded for making good content, but for getting any of your decent work in front of eyes that might be interested.

Forums, Social Media, anything that's free, doesn't mentally drain you and Isn't Intrusive can help you get folk's attention.
-Balance your price. Work under the assumption that you deserve more for the work you put in (You do). Find the baseline people start paying for your work, and gently raise your price every month until you hit a wall.

Backpeddle and work that rice range for a while, and repeat.
