I have friends who want to get into X-Men and they always try to start with #1 and it's just not the way to go. So I was trying to pinpoint when X-Men gets truly great and for me it's Uncanny X-Men #98. I hope this helps you or a loved one skip the silver age until you're ready to get bored.

Hi, I'm Sara Century, it is impossible for me to go to a book store without befriending people.

Mother Earth is so fine dawg and she gives us everything we could ever ask for how can we be out here doing her like this

The thing about nukes is they will kill everyone, thanks for coming to my talk. We have come so close to annihilation. They are the absolute stupidest weapons and today they are in the hands of baby brains. Anyone who wants to continue living should be in total favor of complete disarmament now.

Hello, I really like this book and I think a lot of you would as well 🕷️

Regular people showing up in huge numbers to shut down data centers absolutely bangs and is another one of those times when I'm like, we can disarm the nukes, we can end war, we can save endangered species, we can stop this shit, we can do anything.

Keep fighting it, everyone.

one of my strongest and clearest takeaways from spending all of Lent knee-deep in ICE death reporting is that Camp East Montana should be razed to the ground and every single person who built it, worked there or approved their decisions deserves criminal charges. it is beyond what I imagined.

I am SO excited to announce that the Kickstarter campaign for The Comics Staple, a monthly zine about comics, is live. Go make your pledges now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tif...

Of course, this is in addition to the big Myrna Loy project and another one I have cooking that will, most likely, take the form of a zine (I am inspired by @saracentury.bsky.social).

Happy transgender day of visibility. Please take a moment to help support someone in your life.

uhh it’s #transdayofvisibility so if you’re new here, hello I’m Michi/michiums, I make comics and art and still kicking despite the horrors! I love drawing macabre and fantasy & everything I make is some flavor of queer or trans ;) you can support me via my shop or via kofi 🫡💫

The people pushing these AI programs on us are literally trying to rob people of the experience of learning. That's fucked up!

He's at it again, folks.

I have recreated this digital zine. The updated version is now available to purchase at on my Ko-Fi shop for $3. If you'd like to support a black trans teen, please help me, his mother stay financially afloat. 💕✨ ko-fi.com/s/8281929c9d bsky.app/profile/thek...

Trans Day of Visibility! 🏳️‍⚧️ I'm a nonbinary editor and the best thing you can do to support me is follow, repost, and check out my website! Or if you ever need an editor, let me know. I'll be reposting/supporting trans 🏳️‍⚧️ authors, artists, and small businesses all day as well!

In 248 crashes along South Shore's main roads this year, 1 in 3 drivers has taken off after. One killed 15-year-old Violet Harris + injured another teen. 2 hours later, 2 miles away, a man died and critically injured another driver after he ignored a stoplight. blockclubchicago.org/2026/03/30/h...

Rabbits are a lot of work and they can stress you out quick if they have a health issue, but on the flip side my rabbits Voltron into a pile of fluff at a certain hour and they all start snoring and it's absurdly sweet.

I love archives 😭 I hope you know you're everything I love in this world, you unbelievable nerds.

At House Rabbit Society, we believe rabbits are wonderful companions, but they're not for everyone. If you've never had a rabbit before, we encourage you to spend time on our website, houserabbit.org, learning more about them, and not purchasing one impulsively for the Easter holiday.

Anyone expecting me to take the High Road on generative AI needs to understand that it is an affront to everything I have ever cared about. The arts, environment, critical thought, financial stability for my friends, basic decency. Some things are low enough that there is no High Road to be found.

I think with the level of venom with which AI proponents have treated artists, writers, musicians, whole creative industries, they deserve at the very least to have that venom met in kind, and I hope it stings. I'm only sorry it hasn't happened sooner. Party's over, enjoy the hangover.

I'm moving and I'm a single person with pets so the next two months are bananas but tis all in service of creating a more balanced existence you see

Ain't that a beaut.

Y’all are talking about some writer’s take on whether Trek is good or not. I am talking about how Trek ruined itself by making Kirk the emotion to Spock’s logic when that is McCoy’s role but the overall desire for a duo/ship eroded McCoy out of the picture and led to misplacing Kirk into it.

📣WRITING OPPORTUNITY📣 ✍️If you are a crime author living, and writing stories set within, the continent of Africa, who'd like to get in on the ground floor of a new publication, please DM me here.🌍 (I'm helping a friend who wants to keep even their identity as publisher a secret for the time being!)

Wrapping up my job transcribing old newspapers today and as usual it's been a wild mix of "lmao the sheriff banned the Charleston at local dances in 1926" to the next news item which is like "a dozen men crushed in mine, all dead, experts say."

Being edited is the best thing that can happen to your writing

I know it's not always practical and I don't do it every single day, but waking up and reading for half an hour while I'm having coffee is such a good and healthy routine. Getting too into reading in the morning is also how I make myself late for everything but don't worry about that part.

Every month I write about an issue of Jack Cole's Plastic Man run from the 1940s and the place to read about it is via www.patreon.com/shelfdust

I have yet to forgive Ted Turner for colorizing Casablanca, why would I ever want AI retouches of classic films what is WRONG with you people

patiently explaining to national political reporters that the people who organize No Kings are also doing the daily advocacy, voter registration, mutual aid, and immigrant defense, and that just because the cameras show up for the big crowd does not mean that work did not exist before and after

Just a reminder that you can skip the big box stores and buy THESE KIDS ARE NOT ALRIGHT from my Patreon. PDF or epub ready for your reading pleasure. Also, if physical books are your jam, I have signed copies ready to ship. DM me for details! www.patreon.com/posts/these-...

*me, regarding my horror fiction which is usually about lesbians having a body horror moment brought on by living in a broken society* I personally view my writing as apolitical, I don't think there's any politics in this

Since I'm between publication announcements and mostly pushing zines atm, let me remind you that I wrote a Sword & Sorcery story for @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social in the 6th issue last year. This series rocks, you might as well read everything. newedgeswordandsorcery.com/product/new-...

I haven't mentioned the new Scream movie, which might seem weird since I did a zine about it. Not excited to see it, tbh. Zine still stands, but in hindsight I wish I would have railed on the survivalist mentality of nostalgia-based final girls like Sidney a little harder. sara-century.square.site

✨No Approval Required✨ NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT, PART II: BACK FOR BLOOD is now available for any readers with a NetGalley account. We appreciate any and all early reviews. Hohóú in advance! You’re gonna love these #Indigenous #horror stories. www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

I’ve been a journalist for 27 years. I’ve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc. But this is the most important story I’ve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

And with that, @kellythompson.bsky.social Appreciation Month reaches it end! We're back at Marvel and reading Quentin Quire. It's not an X-Men book, but baby steps. Featuring the Introduction of everyone's favorite Land Shark. We read West Coast Avengers! #comicsky

From last year

black lady comic pros directory is live @ comicbooked.org a searchable home for black women & black femme creators professionals & scholars in & around comics shoutout to @manonatelier.blacksky.app who didn’t just build the directory she single-handedly built the whole platform 🖤​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The thing is, someday ICE won't exist anymore and it's going to fucking rock.

there are no actual "dues to be paid" to be able to make comics; it's just a lot of guys doing a lot of favors for their friends or to be favored by the friends of popular guys

Okay, this is the shirt I posted yesterday lmao. The link has been found!

The opening paragraph of my zine, When I Walk Into The Darkness about Hitchcock films. A primer for why his work is still relevant, but I'll note that I attribute much of that relevance to the people he worked with. Psycho flat would not work without Anthony Perkins. sara-century.square.site

I don't look at AI even when people drag it because it literally eats my brain cells, so I just now got the memo that Grok has a "hello fellow kids" approach to slang that makes the dystopia in which we live even bleaker somehow.
