🚨 “BACK UP!” 🚨 Before police moved in tonight, Delaney Hall staff began yelling at protesters. One appeared to carry a metal baseball bat. Another appeared to flash what looked like pepper spray toward them. Day 16 of the hunger and labor strike. @jordanchariton.bsky.social + Jon Farina LIVE ⬇️

tcaf was so awesome, i will post my beautiful haul in a few days when my feet start to recover

My zine has arrived! As a supporting member of the music cooperative @subvert.fm I got this coolness in the mail today. As a cooperative founder, it’s a joy to help subvert the music industry paradigm and have wonderful music to listen to. Join us!

In memory of Marjane Satrapi, we're inviting TCAF attendees to create a page on what resistance means to you. Pages will be collected into a community zine in her honour. www.torontocomics.com/post/honouri... Can't make it to TCAF? Submit to [email protected] with subject "Graphic Resistance."

TCAF is HOPPING and I have hopped away from the table to peoplewatch for a bit 👁️

Tcaf highlight: this dog!!!!!

I painted the dagger of my dreams on my vest. 💅🏼

@yaoxiaoart.bsky.social so nice meeting you today!!

sold out!!! if you physically catch me in the building for the next hour i will grant you one (1) wish

A literacy crisis means people are struggling to UNDERSTAND what they are reading, not that people can't necessarily read.

Great Worm Express will be tabling in Ottawa at the end of June!!

How about a 100% public stake in AI?

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

For the numbers people, 793 anti trans bills for about 10 trans athletes. 79.3 anti trans bills per every 1 trans athlete. Not anti trans people bills, those are in the thousands. Just trans athletes. But there's no transgender genocide go on. Nope not at all. 🙄

They're now titled things like the Fuck Tina the JV Midfielder from South Township High School In Particular Act

Well…

"Pivot to video. Pivot to AI." Nope. We're pivoting back to zines.

DID YOU KNOW ABOUT WICKHILLS, FORTHCOMING NOVEL BY MY ESTEEMED COLLEAGUE, AWARD-WINNING CANADIAN AUTHOR AND SCIENTIST PREMEE MOHAMED? us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

💥 A must read report on Bill C-22, the Canadian government's "lawful access" bill (the one that if passed would cause Signal to pull out of Canada because of the federal government's forced surveillance)👇🏻 Huge kudos for your work on this @cyn-k.bsky.social @kate-ro.bsky.social @digitalprivacy.ca

I was riveted. Watch the whole thing.

happy pride month! here is a perzine i made for a local club. the zine is called Enter Gender and its got some of my thoughts and feelings about coming up and figuring myself out as an intersex/intergender youth

Japan embraces ‘zine’ trend – Taipei Times https://www.europesays.com/japan/34626/ Through the noise of rushing papers and whirring belts at a print factory in Kyoto, two creators watch…

It's Pride Month, so once again here's Sappho's Reply, one of the most powerful queer poems ever. Written by Rita Mae Brown at the height of the post-Stonewall struggles, it's the origin of "an army of lovers shall not fail/cannot lose." Y'all, we are going to win.

by the way i will be tabling at TCAF in toronto this weekend!!! booth 230B on the ICE RINK level. i will have all my books and some patches and pins and stickers. come say hello please torontocomics.com

Every time I think "that's the most painfully obvious metaphor I have ever seen; I mean, who's writing this script?" something gets posted where I'm reminded there's always something more outlandish just around the corner

SAME!! PLEASE BULLY ME!!

Strong vibes of The Great Wave off Kanagawa :) 🌊

I've always loved zines (or fanzines as we used to call them), and was involved in a few back in the early 80s as a punk-loving teenager. What's interesting is that they're increasingly a response to the relentless enshittification of the web, which has been rapidly accelerated by Gen AI.

A lovely review of Cascade on Helena Trooperman's blog!

Debuting at TCAF, a new comic zine about the backlash my 'Catcall Kill Kill' sticker triggers, my thoughts about the no-win scenario of women's beauty and rambling about Marisol. Risograph printed, comes with the infamous sticker! Remainder will be posted online afterwards for sale!
