i’m not on threads but i did come across these posts about the Canada Post strike from someone on there that i felt worth sharing… mostly because i wanted to make a similar thread on this but haven’t had a chance to do the price comparisons. 1/

Every time the subject of Jimmy Fallon’s spinelessness comes up, I think of this passage from Tina Fey’s Bossypants

man I love it when somebody in their 80s is like you know what that looks fun I'm gonna give it a go. and they kind of suck at it at first but theyre 80 so they don't care and they're having a great time and they stop sucking at it pretty fast and then they're 85 and their art has so much to say

I got a new office chair & you'll never believe what an improvement this is over the 15 year old ikea folding chair I've been using since march

Ditto for Canada Post. Public services are not required to make profits - they are required to serve our needs.

if any of you poor souls are also tethered to linkedin, i just got an email saying they're going to start using "details from your profile and public content you create on LinkedIn" to feed into their gen AI bullshit, but you can turn it off by going here: www.linkedin.com/mypreference...

The @nytimes.com asked me to write about the 20th anniversary (??!) of Twilight, and to recommend some books that have published since then that Twilight folks might love. Oh, this was SO FUN.

my debut graphic novel On Starlit Shores is officially out now in the usa!! ahhh ✨🌊

The barriers put in place to stop any trans girls from playing with others girls are so complicated and onerous that TEN SCHOOLS can’t get enough cis girls through them to field soccer teams this year. “Respect for women’s sports” my ass.

I just love comics so much.

i'm sorry but no one should have voted for them just based on how goofy "ABC = A Better City" is.

I hate ABC so deeply. Like as a party they have done literally nothing good AT ALL in their time at city hall. Like nothing. Not a single thing anyone can point to and say "hey that was alright."

They’re doing this to save their political skins after three years of floundering, and if this comes to pass, we’re all going to suffer the consequences. vancouversun.com/news/big-cut...

It’s underappreciated just how radical ABC's budget proposal is. It requires deep, deep cuts. If they are approved, it’s impossible to tell what’s on the chopping block. Libraries? Community centres? Investments that improve public safety? I don’t know - and I don’t think ABC knows, either.

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.

It's very freeing to accept that it's unlikely that I'm ever the first person to do anything. I was like "wow it's so convenient to do a base sketch in non-photo blue and then build up the detailed sketch in graphite why isn't anyone talking about this?" & then this morning I saw Eisner's pencils.

if you ever are doubting your own intelligence in the face of being gaslit by billionaires just remember about NFT's

And then place your text during the sketch phase and draw around them, think of where the text will go ALWAYS

My friend and industry colleague Heidi has received the devastating news that her partner can no longer fight off his cancer and must go into hospice. She will lose him soon and she is a good person who has already lost so much. Please consider helping her defray the costs and survive the aftermath.

Canada Post is not a goddamn business and it's infuriating that the government keeps talking like it is. We never hear about how much money the army loses, or how deep in the red Environment Canada is. But the Canada Post, it never stops. And it's bullshit.

Law enforcement doesn't turn a profit. The military doesn't turn a profit. National healthcare doesn't turn a profit. Even Parliament doesn't turn a profit. So why does the fucking mail have to turn a profit in order to be allowed to exist?

Arthur Rackham - Watercolor of a cat - 1911

who is saying unsuccessful novelists should pivot to graphic novels?? I'm seeing everyone having a take about this but no root source mentioned.

This is huge news considering there are next to no publish washrooms anywhere on the sky train lines throughout metro Vancouver buzzer.translink.ca/2025/09/publ...

11 years of pure gold. Ty Worst Bestsellers for being a pillar in the structure of "getting my graphic novels drawn/inked/coloured"

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

a reminder ! also I still have so many of these :)! your support helps me scrap by and also be able to support mutual aid efforts when and where I can ! michiums.bigcartel.com

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

Free Palestine rally in downtown Vancouver (also featured climate change, Free Sudan, Free the Congo, LGBTQ+ rights, recognize the Tamil genocide, Land Back, end wealth inequality, BLM, unions and worker co-op members, all merged into a mega rally of solidarity)

i work in kids media & thus do NOT trust the internet at large to ever be normal about me posting nsfw art- that said, solidarity with nsfw artists!!! they should be able to post & prosper here without fear of getting banned bc someone decided their drawing of fake sex wasn’t consensual enough

Tezuka & Ishinomori both died at 60. Mizuki (the creator of GeGeGe no Kitarō) died at 93. I think about this a lot.

the people who would remove sex from our lives or demonize our very bodies are attempting to make our lives poorer

trans people just want to be able to live their lives and cis people are like "due to this we need to do mandatory genital inspections to children playing sports". im sorry but the problem is cis people

absolute love of my (breakfast) life! savoury oats are changinggggggggg my lifeeeeeeeeeeee.

"authors are paid to write blurbs" please. as if anybody pays authors

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.
