Hey so, that Microsoft Word subscription price hike email you just got? That refers to an AI-heavy version of MS which you can absolutely opt out of and maintain your current, “classic” subscription at a lower price. Thanks @lzats.bsky.social for the tip!

I'm excited to #UpliftMGReads, like this selection of middle grade book released in the first half of 2023. If you missed these when they came out, I recommend picking them up now!

Aaa I just finished reading Scout is Not a Band Kid by @jelajade.bsky.social and it was SUCH a treat!! All former weeb kids will hugely enjoy it

Good.

Just so you know: I have a few creatives that I follow that I'm too spooked to ask if they're looking for representation. You all are just so impressive! On the agent's side, we can be just as nervous as y'all, I promise.

When you go to New York Comic Con please wear an N95 mask or better to protect not just yourself but all the creators there who don’t have paid sick days and who may become too disabled to work if they get long covid. Protect our artists!
