@michaelhobbes.bsky.social I can’t get either of your recent shows to play on any pod catcher on any of my devices! Is this a known issue or a personal problem for me to work through?

Every year Emily the Librarian and I make an bananas video to kick off SLO County Library's summer reading. I think this year's turned out pretty rad! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc-3...

Ohhhh baby yoda is the actor's name

Happy “book birthday” to REEL LIFE! 1: My first attempt at a cover design, which the Scholastic team reasonably thought was too emo. I like it as a drawing though. 2: A “deleted scene” from my original pitch. I wanted a runner about a weird kid named Aiden who’s perpetually offscreen.

As a European I agree with Mark. It is dangerously complacent jingoism to think that it's "being European" that protects us rather than superior political institutions.

I read it! Liked it! An extra good read for any young person in your life navigating a divorce, and perhaps EVEN MORE SO if a young person has a friend or acquaintance their age who is navigating a divorce. So basically, any young person in the world today. Solid storytelling-two thumbs up ✍️🥸👍

I’m excited to be part of San Luis Obispo’s first indie comics fest this Saturday at Humdinger! It’s a stellar lineup of toonists from throughout California (plus this dope) so I hope you can make it! Lots of rad stuff for comics lovers of all ages! More info here: www.instagram.com/p/DT1zNtSlJFD/

'IF I HAD KNOWN...' is about vampirism, sibling grief and the historical grave robbing of Black corpses. You can read it for free on my itch here: lilliejharris.itch.io/if-i-had-known and/or purchase a physical copy through @radiatorcomics.bsky.social here: www.radiatorcomics.com/shop/uncateg...

There is something all of us can do to rein in ICE's reign of terror. The Department of Homeland Security is currently funded only through January 30, and the new funding bill is vulnerable. Please read more via this link and call your reps today. All hands on deck. indivisible.org/campaign/how...

Keith porter was also murderd by ice. Please donate to their gofundme. Funerals cost like 10,000.

36 people have died at ICE's hands in the past year may of these deaths did not happen on camera, but it does not make them any less horrifying and unacceptable this is a list of their names, where they lived before being abducted, and a link to crowdfunding if i can find it

Less than a week ago, the @washingtonpost.com reported about how an imperialist war of choice is doomed to failure and eroding quality of life for everyone in the country. Today, they're reassuring us that imperialist wars of choice are Good Actually and always work out well for everyone.

LOS ANGELES!! I'll be at @comicartsla.bsky.social this weekend at table 63A! And on Sunday I'll be moderating a panel about the grind of graphic novels with @kaneicaruslynch.bsky.social @charmgardens.com and @andycomics.bsky.social!

“Lemonade” A new one page comic from the world of REEL LIFE.

See you tomorrow night, LA!

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

"If Elon Musk thinks it's good, it's bad, and if Elon Musk thinks it's bad, it's good" is a pretty reliable rule of thumb.

I wish every dem were out there making it clear that these ICE assholes are going to be facing legal consequences as soon as R's do not have a death grip on power but alas

I'm not really involved in "mainstream" comics (DC, Marvel, etc) either professionally or as a fan, but is there, like, a movement to get DC Comics to stop employing Chuck Dixon, a proud champion of fascist violence? They cancelled Gretchen Felker-Martin for far less.

Ever MAGA opinion is basically random thoughtless meanness, but it is very funny to see them pretending to really love Columbus Day, which became a national holiday because Democrats wanted to shore up support in immigrant communities during the New Deal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbu...

White PDXers, now is the time to reach out to and be ready to close ranks around your BIPOC neighbors. You are the whitest metro city in the US, and that is going to paint instant targets on the backs of anyone who isn’t.

Anyone out there familiar with Highland Pro? It’s TWICE deleted all of the writing in a document for no apparent reason, wiping hours of work. Does this happen to other people? I don’t want to give up on it because I like the UI and I paid for it, but I don’t think this is a risk I can keep taking.

Serious question — would DC be willing to publish this now? (It's from the distant year of 2018)

While I got my knuckles rapped by corporate America for being rude and tasteless about a guy who dreamed of the stoning of me and everyone I love, Fox's Brian Kilmeade advocated explicitly for the state murder of all homeless people -- on live TV, no less -- to virtually no response.

Never forget "the other 9/11", 9/11/73, when the US backed a coup in Chile, murdering the democratically-elected President and establishing a disastrous military dictatorship. www.npr.org/2023/09/10/1...

Immigrants are a social good, anti-immigrant propaganda is basically all lies, and any approach to the "problem" that doesn't start form those two points is worthless

Please, Portland peeps, join me in making a donation. This is a real lifeline for some of the most marginalized of our community, with good journalism to boot.

How many artists and thinkers of the 20th century can now only be mentioned with a huge asterisk because they became apologists for evil regimes? What makes their modern equivalents so certain the same thing won't happen to them?

The FTC is accepting public comment on access to gender affirming care for minors until 9/26/2025: regulations.gov/docket/FTC-2025-0264 They are trying to prove it's harmful. @transequality.bsky.social has more info & a template for comments: transequality.org/ftc-hands-of...

Next SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY I’ll be returning to my beloved Bay Area for San Francisco Zinefest! I’ll have REEL LIFE, my collection of interactive P-nut comics, and other gems to surprise and delight you. Bay buds, if I didn’t catch you at my reading in June, I’d love to see you on Sunday! <3

reposted this today because the inverse is also true: if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period. if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.

One of my colleagues and a union comrade was abducted at the Camarillo action yesterday. We still don't know where he is, who is holding them, or any other information about his status. If you're in the area, please reach out to the folks listed in the press release and donate to the bail fund.

Fun surprise right after the security line at SFO. You can pick up an autographed Reel Life before you refill your water bottle!

See you tomorrow, San Francisco!

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

Scholastic posted my book trailer in WIDESCREEN! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAEX... Check it out! It was a fun challenge to make a video in both 16 x 9 and 9 x 16 aspect ratios, but I think it looks better this way. :)

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

My friends took me to Ice Queen, and it made me remember a time in summer 2020, when Iived in Portland, and I posted a pic of Emily and I getting paletas there. An acquaintance who watched conservative media told me the photo was impossible, since Portland was a war zone fire riot or whatever.

BwP Con at @bkswpicspdx.bsky.social‬ was a blast! The Battle with Pictures MCed by ‪@breenabard.bsky.social‬ was harrowing, but we prevailed, and the KidLit panel with @oneofthejohns.bsky.social & Robin Robinson was a blast. Sold a lot of books, saw a lot of friends, and ate a lot of good food. 😺
