doing this once is fun and awesome, deciding to just make it your thing is diabolical behavior

Which?

I don’t mind a beyond/impossible burger in like a cookout setting, but I hate that they’re crowding out actual veggie burgers.

Ugh. This was somehow not even on my radar. Love both Béla and Antonio Sanchez.

First concert: Kenny Loggins, Civic Arena, he opened the roof, 1988(?)

Well that makes me regret not making the last minute decision to see NIN.

I think Aaron’s saying the poster wrote the “explanatory” part, and the bot labeled it as misleading because the explanatory part isn’t true.

Guys, Bluesky doesn't have moderation notes. So if you see one, it was added by the poster himself as part of the post.

I realize my non-NWSL fan followers may think I’m announcing that tomorrow is a holiday, but I’m just celebrating some exciting goal scoring.

A new PTA film and a Jeff Tweedy triple album in the same weekend? It’s too much!

I had a great time. Probably going to try making an annual trip of this.

Mimi Lond discusses her new book about the Mitford Sisters

Carol Tyler signs my copy of The Ephemerata

Justin @justinwier.bsky.social · Sep 21

And because I think it’s always cool seeing how cartoonists sign things:

A signed copy of Carol Tyler’s The Ephemerata

A signed copy of Mimi Pond’s Do Admit: The Mitford Sisters and Me

A signed copy of Kayla E’s Precious Rubbish with a bookmark that says “why not dissociate today?”

Drove over to Columbus yesterday for Cartoon Crossroads, and I had a blast. I had books signed by Charles Burns and Derf.

Derf signs a copy of his book Kent State

I’ve seen several of these folks over the last week or so, and I wonder how they aren’t all puddles of sweat.

kind of nuts how many comics cried about censorship when asked to stop demonizing trans people... wonder where all the champions of free speech are, now that their peers are muzzled by the federal government for hurting the president's feelings.

I wish no ill upon Temwa, who I love, but I’d be lying if I said this doesn’t have me breathing a little easier tonight 😅

Also, I know it’s tough for independent comic and zine publishers, and you don’t want to pass an opportunity to get your work in front of people, but maybe think twice about the message participating in an event like this sends to your fans, especially women.

Justin @justinwier.bsky.social · Sep 13

This week of all weeks, it should be clear that we can express remorse at senseless death without lionizing bad people.

I’ve been biting my tongue all week, but it’s not sitting well with me that a large contingent of the Pittsburgh comics community is spending the weekend honoring the legacy of a sex pest who decided to victimize his accusers in his suicide note.
