People unfollow me all the time. It is because I have No Business posting on this website, and shouldn't be here. This website is like if you took only journalists who had 1500+ followers on the twitter and made a convention for them. And then invited people like me in, for some reason.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

Two of Canada's best publishers (maybe THE best?!) are joining forces. What a team up! I'm so excited to see what they can each accomplish with the support of the other. Alayna and Leigh are a dream power team 💫

Albert Camus famously said that the literal meaning of life is whatever prevents you from killing yourself and in my research I have found that to be true lol

Maybe they'll give him a new title, like Bad. Just Bad Andrew. That's his name now.

I used to know Dave Brubeck's son (anyone at York music also knows him) who told me Dave lived next to Ace Frehley in CT. And one time Ace lost a car in a pond, then tried to tow it out with another, and lost that one too. Imagine Dave Brubeck watching you do that. RIP to two icons lol

Sure we've had such bad luck with moving that Peter's uncle asked if we were cursed. However. I just had to buy new dressers and they went on sale the day I decided to purchase them. So who's cursed now? Huh?

Don't take for granted the bookstores in your lives that keep up to date with D&Q's catalogue 🥺 I miss Bookmark so much. I want a copy of Cannon by Lee Lai so bad but I have to go all the way to Toronto to get it! (Or I'll special order, but it's more fun to buy off the shelf)

Drawn & Quarterly @dandq.bsky.social · 5d

2025 was a big year for D&Q–not that it’s over yet, but you can hardly take us to task for reminding you about all the great books we’ve already had the pleasure of getting on the shelves. Read all about it here: drawnandquarterly.com/news/for-you...

And... It's not like being a married suburban mother means you act a certain way? There was a certain expectation to be almost a homemaker, which is so odd? Was this a secret homesteader / tradwife cult? I honestly don't know. But it felt like it.

emma dawn of the dead @emmadawn.com · 5d

In fact, I kind of stopped going to one of these spaces because every single person I talked to was a married suburban mother. It started to stress me out because they all asked me if I had kids or if I was planning to? And had I said, "I'm not that kinda cis lady," I bet they would have been weird.

emma dawn of the dead @emmadawn.com · 5d

Especially odd when I consider that the most talented garment makers I know are genderqueer and that's a huge part of their gender expression... So why aren't there more inclusive spaces for sewing? I'm a cis lady and I would feel way more comfortable in an inclusive space.

emma dawn of the dead @emmadawn.com · 5d

Want to vent about a little thing that bothers me but it's so niche. Again this website is not the home for my venting. Nobody likes that. Anyway the thing I am griping on today is the fact that most fabric stores seem to be for a specific demographic: cishet mothers to young children. It's odd.
