Trying to pre-emptively turn it off and Shopify support (which is just a shitty chatbot) doesn't actually know what it is and it's just like "to turn it off find it in your settings and turn it off".

On a more positive note, many of the creators from Hiveworks came together to create the Chimera Comics Collective - a place where we could maintain the 'webring' aspect of Hiveworks and continue supporting each other.

Friends, thank you for stepping up! Over $40,000 worth of dash cams have been ordered so far for ICE observers in the Twin Cities!
Early orders are trickling in, but we’re getting them packed and deployed ASAFP - several were installed yesterday, these are ready, and 300+ are on the way!

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

If you loved the gay hockey series, you might also enjoy every other book by queer and trans authors that's received zero marketing push. Especially books by queer BIPOC authors who were told, "sorry we already have a book like yours on our list."

Just ran the numbers and unfortunately we won't be able to do Capitol Hill Pride this year---booth prices are literally double that from the last time we did it and even if somehow (with everything burning) we kept the same level of revenue we'd barely be able to pay to staff the booth. :sob:
