Is Donnie Yen the coolest motherfucker I have ever seen? Yes.

Good morning, friends! Today is #VisibleWomen day. This will be a thread that goes over the history & basics then we'll get started. (Instructions also posted here: milkfed.us/events/save-th… ) What is the #VisibleWomen project? It's a effort to raise the profiles of women (and not-men) in the comic book industry **in order to get them work**. (More on that last part in a bit.)

It’s T’s 11th birthday today: an appreciation thread.

Okay! Happy #VisibleWomen Day.

The QT tweet below is a thread that contains our history and reason-for-being, as well as some other really cool databases and hashtags to follow.

**Our preferred #VisibleWomen format is**: [Your professional name-even if it matches Twitter handle], [What you do --draw/color/ink/write etc]. [Resumé or portfolio link/links]. [Additional info like genre or medium pref.] [hashtags including #VisibleWomen]

The next #VisibleWomen is Monday, March 29. This is gonna be a thread about that. I should probably start at the start -- the first #VisibleWomen day was in 2016. It started out of frustration at the perception that it was hard to find women who were qualified or wanted to draw mainstream comics. The first VW was for artists only. It went well.

Filled up my bullet journal, setting up a new one today. Thinking I might tweet my process for it? Would that be helpful/of interest to anyone? First step: put start date and volume number on finished book. Introduce it to the others.

Shitty teen last night walks by Tallulah dressed in all her Belle finery in the crazy Disneyland NYE crowd and says, in shitty teen snark, “nice Elsa costume.” I saw it. I promise he was neither mistaken nor talking to someone else. He was deliberately fucking with a kid because he could and because the crowds meant we couldn’t stop and discuss it with him.

We are taking the kids to Disneyland today and they don’t know: a thread. (They don’t read Twitter. Because they still have hope and self-esteem.) We thought they had figured it out, but now I think they haven’t.

We’re reading an old rolling document that Fraction kept of Tallulah Louise quotes. They’re amazing. “Mom, you are the best mom I got.”
