Time for a new pinned post!

I'm KB Spangler, an indie author who creates comics with my partner-in-crime, @alepresser.com

Our current #comics are comedy science fiction & fantasy (FAMILY DEMONS) and fantasy (SIDE QUESTED), because reality is being a bummer and we need more joy.

Aware that he only had a few months left to live the great Mike Davis gave one of his final interviews to the Guardian in 202.

"You’ve been organizing for social change your whole life. How do you deal with a future that feels so bleak?" Lois Beckett asked.

I know we're a billion miles past "Imagine if the Democrats did/said this" so instead think about your uncle saying this same thing at Thanksgiving and the looks everyone else would give him as they scooted their chairs away.

Background work video: the dude who makes the most amazing inked knotwork is back with a huge art piece. An hour+ of sketching, inking, and painting with no speaking and plink-plonk background music on repeat.

On the one hand, I understand why you would give a speech like this in the current geopolitical climate, but on the other **endless screaming**
🇫🇷 Macron: To remain free, we must be feared. To be feared, we must be powerful. And to be powerful in this world so brutal, we must act faster and act stronger.

The bit that gets me is that they’re going to move this shitshow to Maine next to try and avoid the coming cold snap.

Maine. To avoid the cold. And there’s no such thing as “Maine nice.”
Imagine your job consisting of the angriest people you've ever seen in your entire life yelling at you 24/7 and throwing bottles of piss in your car while you battle the subzero elements they don't even bat an eyelash about.

Imagine the toll that takes on your psyche. May they never find peace.

I have written a book.

The main character adopts a pug.

Nothing bad happens to the dog except for hanging out with a psychopath for a few chapters.

The main characters also go on a rampage in a WWII Panzer.

This book has got ***layers***

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked the clean ACA tax credit extension that the House passed to save millions of people thousands of dollars each.

If you’re paying double or even triple for health insurance, blame Trump and the Senate GOP.

Anecdata: Last week when Good was murdered, the community blogs in Greensboro, NC, had a large helping of "Well if you don't get in ICE's way while they're trying to do their jobs..." and there are none of these now (that I see).

Every #writer checks their release day metrics in different ways. Mine is checking for the throwaway words I slip into the text which drive my poor copyeditor absolutely bananas.

From @sigridellis.bsky.social who I would trust like no other to hold my back in a bar fight---If you want to help people on the ground in Minn, this is where you can send $$$.

They manage anti-ICE training and resources, and are feeding vulnerable families.

"What do you mean, haunted?"

Well, the release date was pushed back when my dad learned he had a collapsed lung and that kicked off the usual chaos. Haven't talked about this until now bc we needed to make sure he's okay, and he is, so that's a blessing.

AND NOW FOR THE REST OF THE STORY...
