As we boycott vile companies, a reminder that many US public libraries offer: 1) Ebooks & audiobooks via the Libby app. Pro tip: use the “notify me” tag to request your library add books by trans, disabled, & BIPOC authors! 2) TV & film streaming via Kanopy 3) Language learning via Mango 💙📚 And:

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

My 24-hour-comic zine THE VINEGAR MOTHER was recently nominated for a @ginco.bsky.social Award here in Germany! It's existed exclusively as a riso printed zine at cons for the last year, but with the nomination I thought I'd finally share it online. It's a weird little comic/zine to explain... (1/4)

too real

I spent the past week covered in paint but it was all worth it for… my first ever WINDOW DISPLAY! 🥹✨ So happy with how it all came together 💖 You can check it out at Books of Wonder in Manhattan!!

Due to popular demand, we are setting up a heavily discounted fulfillment service for artists outside the US that are scrambling after the recent tariff / customs policy put in place for shipments to the USA.

Anyone got any good tennis manga recommendations, for Reasons

Same! Please feel free to get in touch.

These paypros still need to be pressured over this shit! If you havent made any calls yet, now is a great time to start doing so because theyre only continuing to ramp up their shitty censorous behavior!

Waking up to so much vague posting really got my hopes up.

I will be able to share the title SOON, and also.... it'll be out in, um, nine months. I've been working hard.

I TURNED IN MY BOOK

it doesn't have to be like this

The implications (for those who do not understand why we're all suddenly freaking out) is that in the US, if you do not pay the fee to register your copyright, you do not have the same legal protections. @courtneymilan.com did a good thread about this but tl;dr: it impacts the AI lawsuit a lot.

This comic (and everything Otava makes) is so, so good. Well worth your time to read this.

I'm so excited about this! me and @eoosterhous.bsky.social have something very big, very romantic, very rainy coming your way!

Going to the library fucking rules. You can walk in and pick your favorite things and then walk right out without paying anything. It's unbelievable and 100% the kind of thing that won't exist in the future unless you recognize the goodness now before it's too late

I wore a lovely pin and two days later my chest is a welt because I am allergic to the lovely pin... is this the curse of vanity

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

Only 100 pages left to color... The finish line is (sort of) (vaguely) in sight

instead of vowing to take itch down with your justified anger, redirect that anger at the institutions who are directly responsible for strong arming every single platform that sells adult and/or queer art:

If you are reading my posts instead of drawing comics go take this as a sign to go draw comics!! Get outta here!
