Lived most of my life in Toronto and never went into the Village on the Grange building by @ocaduniversity.bsky.social. This food court has been here this whole time!?

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Jun Health Nerd slam new NHS systematic reviews on pediatric hormone use, which 2 yrs _after_ Cass Review found just 11 good studies to Cass's 53: "You can’t possibly produce 10 reviews including just 11 studies and expect people to take the work seriously."

Watching Black Widow for the first time and it is shocking how blatantly this whole opening is lifting straight from The Americans. Like, even the styling of the characters

Currently rewatching…

I work with some incredible people at my college, none more so than Bertrand. Not only is he a historian and an amazing poet, but his current projects are recasting Black history on the prairies. Check out his work #blackhistory #canadianlit canadacouncil.ca/spotlight/20...

Animation industry meet-up tonight. It's rough in the industry. Most of the people who attended are looking for employment in the industry. 80%+ hunting for creative work. The most prominent social media contact sharing was Instagram.

Many people in Canada are (correctly) bemused by the Alberta Separatist movement, but if you want to understand why our Premier indulges separatist fantasies, look no further than this week’s energy deal with the feds /1

Fox = Patrick Falco = Janet Slippy = Chia Peppy = Rob @remapradio.bsky.social You could make an argument for swapping Janet and Patrick but otherwise this is not open to discussion

yeah. if you're a comics worker, fill out Cartoonists United's pay transparency survey: airtable.com/appLRxNDI7Yj... and if you're not, but care about art, pay attention to the results. something's gotta change.

Dear Alberta Separatists, YOU ARE BEING MANIPULATED. Alberta separatism is the latest niche for disinformation merchants www.nationalobserver.com/2026/05/06/o... via @nationalobserver.com Fake YouTube accounts with fake Albertans stoke rage & normalize secession rhetoric.

Really great thread for contextualizing the Met Gala and its detractors

Amberspire it out TOMORROW on PC, Mac and steamdeck 🌆 And you can read in this post about how I applied academic historical understandings of micro and macro history to inform the writing and worldbuilding 📖

@cartoonist.coop's Nib & Ink Fest has started! Check out the charity zine (sales benefit the coop), where I have a contribution in the SFW edition! nif-shop.cartoonist.coop/products/oop...

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is a 1798 poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge about being on Bluesky and then trying to share what you’ve learned there w people who are not chronically online

This is some total nonsense. The U is taking the position that student groups are extensions of the university, and therefore bound by institutional neutrality. This is not how the First Amendment works.

I think the Nib and Ink Fest is definitely one of the coolest of the many things that @cartoonist.coop does! Look forward to checking out some panels this year!

The third annual Comic Worker Survey is finally HERE! This is the time to support your fellow comics workers. Your answers will help address pay disparities for a more transparent and equal comics industry. Take the survey here: cartoonist.coop/2026comicwor... Art by @urnash.com

The original Venom storylines in Amazing Spider-Man frame him as a pastiche of late-80s toxic masculinity. Just as his body exaggerates and dwarfs Spider-Man’s superhero physique, his performance of masculinity is defined by excess 1/7 #venom #comics

I work at Kotaku now! :) You can go watch back today's KFGD to hear me talk about it a little if you want. You could also read my alma mater @gibiz.bsky.social to learn more! www.gamesindustry.biz/kotaku-hires...

Every superhero is a metaphor that fights other metaphors of the same clade The Flash is a physics, who fights other physics (mirrors, aerodynamics, cold). Superman is a god, who fights other gods. That’s so good, but Batman is a fear who fights other fears. That’s always the easiest match to sell.

Yooooo!!!! Tini Howard was just on Jeopardy! #comics #jeopardy #readmorecomics

Jeez, 23 years at the company. I realize that Marvel is whiffing it on pretty much every level these days, but perhaps it would be worth Disney saving some of the people who were there back when it was more successful?

Very excited to share my article "We Are Venom: masculine bodies and queer intimacies in early Venom Comics” has been published in the latest issue of CLOSURE Kieler Journal for Comics Research www.closure.uni-kiel.de/closure12/fr...

Lovely more academic-minded thread about Absolute Wonder Woman. 🖤 [Beware of spoilers for the first volume].
