the evils are unrelenting

@jelajade.bsky.social rereading sinabk and ughhhh the part at the end where they fight and all the bandmates take scout's side because none of them know merrin as a friend like she does..... I hate this book (I love this book)

Life is more important than books, but I do want to say that I appreciate Star Fruit's place in the industry. They license such cool books that would otherwise go missed. I found Minami Q-ta thru them, and they've published Hideshi Hino too. Please help if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-...

We're so close now, but still have a ways to go. If you haven't checked out our campaign yet, I'd like to kindly suggest you do so! 5 amazing new titles and a bunch of recent releases + titles from our backlist, Glacier Bay Tees.. it's good stuff! I still dream of reaching 777 backers as well...

it doesn't get mentioned all that much in books on drawing or comics, but i don't know any technique that's more useful than walking away for an hour

Hey, did you know you can just message the prime minister of Canada whenever you want? For instance, to tell him that his government's intervention in the flight attendant strike is an attack on workers' rights?? You can! In this form here! You can also email Jobs Minister at [email protected]!

I’m still underselling how much this book means to me. It’s really something special. The parallel arcs for Scout and Merrin, the little moment at the end with Scout’s old friend, it’s all so elegant. Now when I listen to concert band renditions of nerd music I just picture the girls tearing it up🤦‍♀️

please check out my visual essay that analyzes anti-palestinan propaganda in popular media!

nun stickers i made for tapestry market last weekend

@jelajade.bsky.social Spent my break at the library reading your book. Loved it. Scout is, at least a little gay for Merrin, right?

my view is that everyone should be able to earn a living wage doing whatever it is they like. if you love working in a bookshop, you should be able to live a comfortable life doing so. if you loving being a barista, the same. and if you want to do more traditional blue collar work, that’s cool too!

We sold all of this off for economic (cultural) integration with the US.

The cats outta the bag~ I'm so excited to work with the incredible Nadia Shammas on this book, it's going to be AMAZING \ ( ^_^ ) /

Actually, there is an easy answer. We need to flood the market with no-profit housing and nationalize REITs. We need to stop pretending that this issue has no obvious solutions.

If you ever said “wow libraries are great” then guess what? You support Canada Post, because they have a library shipping rate (reduced cost) and libraries use it a lot, to move books around and also spend more money on things like the collection you claim to love.

touhou from the vault

it's cartoonist day. yeah, that's so

Pretty. Same with the music industry. Publishers (like record labels) can be useful but it is always good to have perspective on what they are supposed to do and what you want/hope to get out of working with them. A lot of times, it is better to self-publish and/or work with friends.

ネコ飛出し注意 (neko tobidashi chūi) Means “watch for cats darting out” and I love this sign.

sometimes you read a comic thats too good and you get the urge to just throw the book. this one was indescribably huge to me. so sublime.

an old comic from the depths

One easy and obvious change for the new TTC CEO and board to make would be to scrap the metric that a streetcar or bus is considered “on time” if it leaves the terminal five minutes late. This is probably not most people’s idea of “on time."

as someone who also went to "food school", this was a painfully relatable yet refreshing story by @jelajade.bsky.social about the experiences of non-cis-heteronormative "food school students". loved the other representation too, particularly the Muslim rep because you NEVER see that in these stories

once again i only figure out a finalized character design in the second half of pencilling pg 173 out of 250
