Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

I like to imagine myself as a doe girl but I’d never want to Actually Be The Animal

I already worry enough about cars hitting me as a human I don’t need to worry about it as an doe

Always! your work has made me want to actually try comics again. Thank *you*!

It made me tear up a bit which is significant because I have a thing where it’s really difficult for comics or books to make me cry (dunno why, just always been that way). The hardback also has really lovely production quality. Dunno how to describe it but it feels super nice to hold while reading

finally finished Hello Sunshine by @keezyyoung.bsky.social and very genuinely it’s my favorite graphic novel I’ve ever read. Mesmerizing panel composition and art, really good pacing and character writing, a good reversal of common tropes

Couldn’t recommend it enough—even if YA ain’t your thing

Keezy Young🌼 @keezyyoung.bsky.social · Sep 21

*sits down cross legged on the sidewalk abruptly with a thousand yards stare* I hope my mom likes my book

Keezy Young🌼 @keezyyoung.bsky.social · Sep 21

I think the hardest thing about this moment RIGHT NOW is that a whole lot of people I really really respect are either reading (if they snagged an early copy haha) or are about to read my book but almost nobody has actually read it yet so I'm just sitting here vibrating nervously and hopefully 24/7

I live in a college town which means a lot of random sorority women crying and sobbing on party nights and I always try to ask them if they’re ok because that feels like a generally horrible situation

okay. I've tried this before but maybe it'll stick.

WG is a forum where you can discuss at length tv, movies, books, new releases, metatextual topics, post and discuss art, post tutorials etc, read up in threads, which will not just vanish but stick around for a bit. try it!

I got the hardcover for this book and I’m so excited to read! A random question but I’m curious—do you have any ambiences or music you recommend listening to while reading? I’ve always been someone who needs something playing in the background.

I only watched season 1 but even though I wouldn’t ship Enid and Wednesday normally it’s hard not to when so much of season 1 emphasizes romance subplots and Enid and Wednesday are genuinely the only characters on that with any sort of chemistry

In 2015 it was "lock her up." In 2016 it was "2nd amendment solutions." In 2017 it was telling cops "please don't be too nice." In 2018 "when the looting starts, the shooting starts." In 2019 it was "can't you just shoot them in the legs or something?" In 2020 it was "stand back and stand by."

There’s something so grotesquely agitating and aggrevating about being lambasted for disliking or hating someone “because you didn’t agree with their opinions” when their opinions were some of the most hateful and abhorrent shit spewed upon humanity

it always feels like we're being forced to throw a dinner party for the worst people on earth, and we have to shut up and smile and be gracious, no complaints, while the worst people on earth are our honored guests and we best not embarrass ourselves in front of them no matter what they do to us
