Break! You all started giving before I could even go live on my “surprise” stream. 😭 We’re raising funds all month for an org in LA that works closely with our immigrant community (see @ IDEPSCA on ig!). We’re live and will be again on Oct 12 and Oct 26-thank you to everyone who can send support!

Hoist your teacups and tankards! We’re live with the *8-Year* Anniversary Stream on Twitch, and we’re raising money for vital LA community org @idepsca.bsky.social !

만날래 🐯

ah, well

If you have never happened to be crossing out the last item in a to-do list *exactly* as the first big “ba Ba BA BAAAA” strain hits in Rhapsody In Blue: …I recommend it. Pretty sure this is how it must feel when Mario gets a star.

Had some time today to do these drawings of dead trees.

How to record ICE: 1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE. 2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video. 3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS 4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How? 5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked. @eltragon.bsky.social

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

this survey took less than two minutes yes, it's inane. do it anyway

COMMISSIONS CLOSED

if going on ICQ to talk to your other teen friends in the 1990s had caused a number of high-profile suicides, my parents would have taken the computer in the backyard and shot it.

This is Moomin. He wanted to help an ambulance do its job, but went a little off-script at the end. 13/10 well done Moomin

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.

A constant mood:

Hello. This is the face of a woman who has agreed to try a BAD run. Of an adventure game. Where I make it through with the LEAST curiosity or information. Do I have questions? No! The Crimson Diamond. Joja run. Hera help me.

Marvel Unlimited app should have a “yard sale” mode where it just serves up a random issue from the middle of a run and the cover is missing.

This is why physical media is still so important.

If an individual offering consensual nudes of themself on OnlyFans is considered “illicit” but a program generating nudes of women without their consent is fine, the powers that be have made their priorities clear. And they’re the same as they ever were.

Sharing a link to GoFundMe again, because I need your help! My dog Serling was just diagnosed with congestive heart failure, her care took up all my available funds, and I need to schedule a follow up ASAP. Would also love any resources for fire affected pet owners! www.gofundme.com/f/help-elle-...

The goal is to make anything -- ANYTHING -- that P2025 views as problematic obscene. Lou Reed's "Take a Walk on the Wild Side"? Obscene. You can be arrested and charged for just listening to it. This is foundational censorship, dressed in the same bullshit Christian Values/Protect the Children bs.

Worth noting — for those who care — this would hit ALL comics hard. Mainstream and indie both. There’s an awful lot of suggestive imagery baked into those costumes, never mind the characters and the stories.

Searching for birth control and how to use it? Obscene. Anything remotely about trans rights, gay rights? Obscene? My PROFILE gets labeled obscene. Anyone who doesn't see this for what it is is either a dupe or complicit. FIGHT THIS TOOTH AND NAIL.

Time to tackle my next two big priorities, “eat peanut butter sandwich” and, let’s see: “read comics.” Huh. ….wish me luck

Speechless. Perfection:

A fabulous video either way, but I accidentally watched it first with no sound and it makes an *incredible* silent movie. My kingdom for a live piano player doing musical accompaniment to this. (Hat tip @rachelkendra.com for sharing!)

Only upside of missing GenCon: Sunday Sleuth Day is back! We’re playing what I think I can safely call the BEST new, old, classic, unpredictable game about mysteries and history and a LOT of Rock Knowledge… that will ever exist. It’s the Crimson Diamond. Come get heart eyes with me: (On twitch!)

Your attention: CPB winds down January 2025 Your local NPR & PBS stations survive with your contributions. If "Tiny Desk" and "Finding Your Roots" and "PBS Newshour" are important to you, They Need Your Money Now. Don't be wringing your hands about what's lost when you have the chance to save it.

BREAKING: In a win for SoCal residents and Constitutional rights, the Ninth Circuit denied the administration's request to continue racist, suspicion-less stops while our case proceeds. This means what we all know: Federal agents must follow the law and can’t stop people solely based on race.

Oh my god the PayPal call was SO FUNNY. The guy on the phone was like "We don't allow processing payments for explicit material." So I hit him with "So if I were to go and purchase a copy of Game of Thrones online, my payment would be blocked?" I think it clicked for him then.

Oh! Wonderful! Congratulations @comixace.bsky.social & the @comicsbeat.bsky.social team! Thanks for what you do!

I’m at con, but not able to sit in this year, alas—so grateful to have folks like @comicsbeat.bsky.social sharing the night at the Eisners!

Hello San Diego! To-do: selfie with life-size Lynda Barry drawing? CHECK. Good to see you, SDCC!

Maybe the real Ship of Theseus was the Ship of Theseus we made along the way

Also, no spoilers from me, but: This Superman movie. Heart eyes.

My friends have a D&D podcast. It takes place in a world inspired by Taylor Swift lore. They have a Comic-Con panel. …..pretty sure that if they hadn’t asked, I would have just materialized on stage anyway via the power of the VennDiagrammatic force. (SDCC-bound? Come join!)

Apropos of some people, er… just finding out?… that Superman stories are immigrant stories: gift link to this famous and moving essay by cartoonist Jules Feiffer, in memory of Jerry Siegel, from (checks notes) 1996. “The Minsk Theory of Krypton” www.nytimes.com/1996/12/29/m...

“In a historic shift reported by Nikkei, Japan’s entertainment giants—Nintendo, Sony, Sanrio, and more—have overtaken the country’s auto industry in total market value. ¥57 trillion. A 30% jump this year. That’s more than Toyota and the rest combined.” www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZ...

After 26 hours of fighting on the Senate floor, Republicans voted to rip health care from millions of people and let little babies go hungry. And they cheered. I'm angry. You should be too. But this fight isn't over.

Numbers unclear: organisers hoped for 35k to 40k to defy the threat of legal consequences. “We believe 180,000 to 200,000 people attending,” Viktória Radványi told AFP. “It is hard to estimate because there have never been so many people at Budapest Pride.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

NEW YORK (AP) — Andrew Cuomo concedes New York City Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani.

Today the Supreme Court used the greatest hits of discredited anti-trans, pseudoscientific ideas in order to rule against the equal access of trans kids to healthcare.

Trans kids: please, if you possibly can, outlive all of these &@$#% £#%. I want very badly to live in the world enriched by you and the possibilities that only you contain. You are bigger than this moment and more beautiful than these tiny cruel creatures can imagine. (Always, but re today's news.)

Los Angeles' response: singing and dancing in the face of the fascists.

If you're active military and have an objection to deployment on your own soil, you may have some rights and options depending on your orders. 🧵 girightshotline.org/en/military-...

Sra. Huerta is an icon, for good reason. She co-founded what became United Farm Workers with César Chavez, coined “¡Sí se puede!”, and won the Presidential Medal of Freedom, among other accomplishments. She is a legend and a hero. Wonderful to see this.

Gift article for anyone who needs it: National Guard has arrived in LA. wapo.st/43MzoZe Fellow Californians: I'm not tracking statements this morning, since I have a book due. But demand your elected speak out and explain what they're doing if they haven't already. Call them. Email. Do it now.

Today marks three months since masked federal agents unlawfully took our client Mahmoud Khalil into ICE custody in retaliation for his pro-Palestinian advocacy. Every day Mahmoud is detained is another day that his civil liberties — and all of our First Amendment rights — are under attack.
