GIVE AWAY! // AKA WE DID IT AGAIN! Since The Night Guest is coming out in paperback we decided to try to gift another copy bitten by Uggi. And it went … a little *too* well. (See picture 🧵) Like and share this post and on December 30th I will select a winner and send them this teeth marked copy!

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

I couldn’t be more happy with how this “Ern Dog” drawing turned out!!! Here is the time lapse video of the 36 hours it took to draw. What do you think #BlueJays fans???

This has popped up on my feed again so your occasional reminder that, if your business cannot turn a profit when acting within the law, you don’t have a legitimate business

The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything. It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.

"You have to use AI." ...why?

The photograph of the lunchtime steelworkers being photographed is almost as cool as the lunchtime steelworkers.

Just a December evening, eating my December dessert of two clementines and a chunk of a big Toblerone, thinking positive thoughts about Bo Bichette.

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you. Defend the em dash.

I hate the Mets so much right now

While waiting for our patients to recover in junior surgery, one of the ortho docs asked us all to tie our shoes in front of him and then looked insulted when he watched. "I thought I told you how to tie proper knots!" I relearned how to tie my shoes in my mid-20s and now they never come undone.

The US border is now just one big blinking warning sign: "FASCISM HAZARD - DO NOT APPROACH". World Cup, Olympics, scientific conference, holiday, shopping. None of those are worth obeying in advance.

Rice Lake, located about 1.5 hours east of Toronto, passed a resolution recently in conjunction with the local Alderville First Nation that will grant the lake legal personhood status. It's the first lake (and second waterway, after the Magpie River in Quebec) to be granted personhood in Canada.

WASHINGTON AND OREGON CARTOONISTS: Seattle's bus service is commissioning 6 artists for public art pieces, 2 each, of local stories, 16-32 pages, over 2026, for $54k per artist, to be freely distributed over their ridership. details here: www.4culture.org/grants/movin...

It's Day 8 of #ArtAdventCalendar and I'm switching #StudioGhibli movies for my next #snowflake design. Tonight it's PRINCESS MONONOKE's San in all her wolf-girl glory. This was too much for paper - had to switch to vinyl. Any chance @cricutexplore.bsky.social wants to send me a bigger model? ❄️✂️🐺🩸

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

Are there any fan artists who can do (Western) TV cartoon characters reasonably true-to-style who want to donate a little mischievous labor to some Canadian creative industry workers in a union fight against corporate greed? If so, send me a message and I can give you details!

Anything Lois Lane for @dcforgaza.bsky.social so I went with making the Indonesian Lois Fashion Doll of my dreams 😊 #Art #DCcomics #Superman #Artsky

Public washrooms in Toronto parks aren’t as common as they could be — especially in the wintertime. It makes these spaces less welcoming to many of the people seeking a green (or snow-covered) space to escape to, writes Jacqueline L. Scott. thenarwhal.ca/opinion-toronto-parks-public-washrooms/

I know you all wanted to see the angewomon full body, don't lie to me👀👀

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

It's all over cross-stitch patterns as well. I'm looking only for patterns made pre 2023 at this point. Much of the patterns on etsy are chatgpt generated slop.

Canada is releasing a set of stamps celebrating the nation's graphic novelists. These stamps feature Kate Beaton, Jimmy Beaulieu, Guy Delisle, Julie Doucet, Bryan Lee O’Malley and Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, alongside some of their famous works.

This is an incredible read about how one editor at a Toronto publication uncovered the fact that a prospective freelancer was a fraud who's been getting AI-generated articles published across the globe. The kicker says a lot, too. Just give it a read. Amazing from @nickhunebrown.bsky.social.

Never seen it put this way and it's really powerful.
