I don’t even know where to start. Most of the week and all of the weekend has been dominated by New York Comic Con and everything a 4 day con entails. People have been busy and as you can imagine shenanigans have been low on everyone’s list of priorities. That said there has been some good stuff. And some not so good stuff.

Following news that Kickstarter absolutely had not been firing union organising staff Kickstarter United have officially requested recognition of their union.

The Not So Good Stuff
This week the news dropped that Ava Duvernay will direct a HBO pilot based on known sex pest Brian Wood’s DMZ proving once again that allegations of sexual assault and misconduct can ruin a man’s career but probably never actually will.
Super, super disappointed that someone as amazing as @ava is working with serial sexual harasser Brian Wood. There are other stories out there, Ms. Duvernay, written by people who don’t prey on women in the industry. Please find one of those to invest your time in.

Multiple fans and critics have reached out to Ava since the reveal but she has so far made no comment.
And That Other Thing
