Girl representation in superhero comics
So today in my kids workshop, this 14-year old superhero geek girl brought all her favourites:
No Spidey, no Batman, no Supes.
But Ms. Marvel, Spider Gwen, Batgirl, Black Canary, Lady Thor, even Squirrel Girl – all the good stuff, basically, and all of them girl heroes brimming with agency. And all of it available in German - the markets are a-changin‘, boys.
Thank you, geek girl. Made my day.
@maple Thanks for clarifying!
(And for keeping on the lights in this corner of the Fediverse!)
@maj Guardians of the Fediverse!

weird timeline glitch
OK Fediverse, stop confusing me!
This is clearly @maj s bio text with an... avatar of The Guardian?!
Maybe a bot...?

Hello, campers!
After much discussion, I think the hashtag I'm going to recommend for talking about comics stuff, whether it's WIPs, scripts, story ideas, thumbnails, panel compositions, dialogue balloons, pacing, etc. is going to be:
Use that hashtag whenever you talk about making your #comics to connect with a wider community of comic and narrative art creators in the 
Fediverse.
Keep being awesome, campers! ⛺

So in two weeks time there‘ll be another round of my #comics workshop in #Berlin.
It‘s unique in that it‘s not a basic course but an advanced project mentoring for everything you ever wanted to start/finish.
I already have enough attendees, but hey, we‘ll have comics phenomenon Ulli Lust talking about her creative process, we‘ll be printing an anthology and presenting it at this year‘s #ComicInvasion festival.
DM me for details if you're interested.

feel like there's a lot of folks here who'd be interested in a new graphic novel about Helen Keremos, the first lesbian pulp fiction detective.
Margaret Atwood convinced the author, Eve Zaremba (88), to revive the character. I am very very intrigued.
Neighborly advice from Berlin-Kreuzberg:
Don‘t give yourself to Google, y‘all.
#BecauseYou‘reWorthIt #Google #FuckOffGoogle #FLOSS #privacy
Nachbarschaftlicher Rat aus Kreuzberg:
Lasst mal Google.

Hey everyone! Here's the official *official* announcement post for #TalesFromTheFediverse! I've gotten enough interest (39 boosts can't be all that wrong) and enough submissions to legitimize this as a true project!
If you haven't submitted yet but want to, don't fret! There's still time! Submissions can be either comics or prose, it all depends on your area of expertise. This is *Tales* From The Fediverse (not *Comics* From The Fediverse) after all.
As always, boosts are appreciated!

Liebe MediengestalterInnen: bei mir an der StaBi Berlin ist eine Stelle zu besetzen. Mit E11 wird man nicht reich - aber vielleicht glücklich. Cooles Team, viel Freiheit, keine Pitches und Wochenenden. Und das beste: entfristet.
Gerne weiterboosten. Fragen direkt an mich.

Die Berliner Morgenpost hat sich mal die Redezeit von Männern und Frauen von Oscar-Filmen der letzten Jahre angesehen. Es ist schon auch immer wieder erschreckend.

I was wrong about Google and Facebook: there’s nothing wrong with them (so say we all)
It’s always difficult admitting you’re wrong. But sometimes you have to in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. So, today, I admit that I was wrong about Google, Facebook, & surveillance capitalism in general being toxic for our human rights and democracy … it simply cannot be true given how they are endorsed by some of the most well-respected organisations in the world.
