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".
Shopify. what the fuck

You can opt out but it's automatically enabled. Those using Spotify be sure to turn this off on Jan 26th. Don't let shitGPT have access to your products.

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.

Please follow us here! 🦁🐐🐍

Folks on the ground are asking me to lift this up because the need is still growing, all around Minnesota.

If you can give, please do, and if you can't, please amplify!
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.

Here's a comic we love: The Strange Case of Harleen and Harley is a re-imagining of the origins of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, troubled queer teenagers trying to make some money and do good in the world as an experimental drug irreversibly changes them both. shop.crowsnest.quest/products/str...

Putting the boxes of childrens comics that we are donating to the childrens hospital next to the NSFW section because we needed a corner to stash them to wait for pickup and the omegaverse corner is the funniest corner to put the boxes in. :3

If you have access to FB groups of local coffee shops / coffee people plz feel free post this there. >.<
We still have a Boxer 1 Group espresso maker we're trying to sell. It's a 220V plug and I am not an espresso person so idk anything about it. Asking for $1k which is 20% new price, willing to negotiate. Please get it out of our hands!
January 11, 2026 at 12:39 AM
It's... really in the way... and I really would like it to be not here anymore...
January 11, 2026 at 12:14 AM
Before you say "put it on FB / ask on this FB group" I don't have an FB account anymore and FB refuses to let me make one again for some reason. (:

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 realized we broke 10k followers! Like 30% of them prolly are bots but yay number went up?

We'll prolly do a cozy pride event weekend instead (we'll still try our best to do Trans Pride tho b/c we love it).
January 10, 2026 at 10:22 PM
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:

No con crud and nobody can tell I have ranch dressing on my face.

It's a long shot but like, I figure if they paid for 2 books via UPS from Ingram they prolly need them fast. :3
January 10, 2026 at 2:25 AM
Hey are you a Seattle bookstore with Ingram account number starting with 20V9? Your Pete the Cats got delivered to us by accident but the packaging got destroyed before we found out! We reached out to Ingram but if you see this and you need the books ASAP let us know and we'll figure it out!
January 10, 2026 at 2:23 AM

If you're saying "Fuck JK Rowling" and "stop keeping Harry Potter culturally relevant through fandom or funding" then you should drop FNAF too. Scott Cawthon is a Christian Conservative who uses his wealth to donate to republicans, including Trump and Mitch McConnell.
