I know a lot of people look forward to this particular concert every summer, so I'm real sorry to share that it isn't gonna happen this year. We wish it could, but the bottom line is that we're union, and we don't cross picket lines. Please support your Mpls parks workers!

The French have what I want--a leftist victory, endless manga translations, and gorgeous comics collected editions.

I saw something like it last night and didn’t know what it was and blocked preemptively. Glad I wasn’t just being lead-footed with that block button.

We’ve returned to the olden days, when word-of-mouth was the only real way to advertise. As an author, if you enjoy a book, please: tell your friends. Your group chat, your sewing circle, your family WhatsApp, your work Slack, the voice channel of your MMORPG guild, anything.

Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

I got the extra-fine Kaweco! They’re relatively inexpensive, and the ink flow can be a little dicy sometimes, but I think it helps it be more expressive. My bigger one is a TWSBI, which are so thick. Much more difficult to work this fine with that one, but it’s a good one, too.

Most of the lines are done on a very fine nib. A slightly bigger one was used to do the outline.

Omg this is incredible

I’ve been having so much fun playing with new material and drawing idly while watching Golden Girls.

Since drawing comics, I’ve been so afraid to draw for fun. I’m afraid of wearing out my hands if I’m drawing both on the clock and off. I also worry about burnout. But I love to do it. I’ll just figure out how to best care for myself because apparently I can’t help it. I want to draw all the time.

Fountain pen and blue ink.

Right? Also it’s like, “Oh no young people can make accurate assessments about us,” like it’s a bad thing?? They’re observant and know how to position themselves and others in a room? That’s great!

Also as we get older we’re not supposed to fit in with the kids! Leave them alone! It’s normal and fine for them to find things outside their own age cohort extremely cringe.

Some Millennials in my timeline are insecure because Gen Zs are telling them their ankle socks age them. I can't stress enough that you don't need to care about what a bunch of 20-somethings think about your clothes, mainly bc you don't have to care about what ANYONE thinks about your clothes.

Thought we had a mouse so I put out a trap. This morning the trap was empty, the bait gone, and there was a mouse turd on the trap. Respect.

Side note, covid or not, I'm never going to another con unmasked again. I can't believe I just accepted getting sick *every time.* I was just letting all those people breathe into my mouth.

so hey question: where's he getting counterfeit bills

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

Hey, remember how librarians and I were warning everyone that mass book-banning is just step one of a fascist government takeover? Well, some of the same book-banning orgs we warned you about are on the advisory board for Project 2025, whose leader calls it a "second American Revolution.”

Nearly 2 million people have been displaced in Gaza – almost the entire population – after the Israeli military last week ordered a further 80,000 people to evacuate parts of Gaza City amid a renewed ground operation, the latest UN figures show.

A second insurrection. Stop comparing these people to the founders. They are the Confederacy.

A second American Revolution, this one aimed at unwinding democracy in favor of a monarchy. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Analysis | The target of the right’s ‘revolution’ is pluralistic democracy itselfwww.washingtonpost.com The president of the Heritage Foundation said, “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.

today is my NINETEEN YEAR anniversary working at my local library In honor of that, I ask you to get a card to your local public library today! If you ALREADY have a card to your local public library, check out their digital resources! Their summer programs! And yeah, they have books too.
