If we as writers and artists are destined to go through a time of intolerance and disempowerment, where compassion and appreciation for our fellow human beings seems challenged from every quarter, we can make a statement through our words and images that we can be better than that.
Even in pulp fiction, we can take the time and make the effort to show in our stories and artworks that an embrace of diversity, choice, and dedication to caring is more important now than ever.
However small a contribution our keystrokes and brushstrokes are to reaching again for that world, let’s keep on standing together in solidarity to keep that vision alive.
