If the customer service script you use when someone emails you about a defective product you sent them includes heart emojis please reconsider because if I wasn’t pissed before I definitely am now

Something a little different. Some cartoonists put out a call for comics about local ICE experiences. This one happened a few months ago so it's a little older than current events, but it's a story that I never stopped thinking about. #ICEoutcomics

When I look at fascism throughout history I regularly think "this happened bc the population protested and resisted the secret police too much. I wish they had chilled out, demonstrated proper civility so as not to earn the already occurring oppression, and let the fascist lose the next election

I can't believe J.D. Vance went on TV and said "Ich bin Evil! Ich bin Evil!!! Ich bin der Evil kleine Chocolate Boy!!" with chocolate smeared all over his mouth and lederhosen. But he did. And we all saw it

Let's be clear:
We support the right of booksellers to curate their collections according to any (legal) factors; and we support the right of customers to choose to shop there, or to take their business elsewhere.
We oppose book bans.
These positions do not contradict each other.

one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.
Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

I called this “The Orville Peck Principle.“
I did not get on the Internet one day explicitly looking for a masked queer cowboy to start crooning at me, but guess what? It was exactly what I fucking needed.

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

The bloody ghost of my ancestor Lt. John Bacon, shot dead by a redcoat musket during the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19th, 1775, appeared at the side of my bed last night and said anyone can be American as long as they aren’t English

Support your local bookstore. They're still selling queer books while big stores are quietly removing us from the shelves.
