I'll tell you to watch THE FLYING ACE any month of the year! Kathryn Boyd is the essence of sporty 1920s womanhood and the picture is a clever, pulpy crime jaunt that cleverly overcomes its tiny budget.

Girls Drawin’ Girls is an institution and they could really use some help right now!

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

When I wrote this fic I was only thinking of it as a standalone thing, but dang it would really recontextualize this comic if you imagine it happening in a version of canon where Saejima’s been out to Majima and has dealt with being teased and needled about it for years at this point

Well now I gotta see this

"In these astonishing works, de Bodard takes us somewhere unique. A labyrinthine region of dark imagination unlike anything the genre has seen before. Simultaneously an alternative history and a wholly fantastical landscape" @aptshadow.bsky.social
