I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

So @nathanielpiha.bsky.social suggested we frame some of the @eccomics.bsky.social @oni-press.bsky.social BLOOD TYPE covers. Great idea! They are all beautiful but we did a set of the gorgeous @patriciamartinn.bsky.social alternates and just look how nice they look together 🩸

I was out of town on the 4th anniversary of our 1st date so we are belatedly dressed up and out on the town.

This is a timely work and well worth the read. Glad I spent my Saturday morning coffee time reading it instead of doomscrolling.
The print versions of these are arriving today, I'm very excited. I want to continue to explore this and other places like this in further zines because I think it is important to think about how we move through the world, through history.
Just put up a new zine in my itch.io shop - it'll also be available in print at MICE, it takes a look at former carceral spaces that have been transformed into something else, examining how they engage with the public and whether it is possible to do so ethically. It's also pay what you want.

These are so much fun but the weather isn’t cooperating today. LA comics community, keep an eye out for the next one!
So sad to have to cancel today's @fanbasepress.bsky.social Potluck, but we'll host more in 2026!
If possible, please be sure to spread the word, so that folks are aware of today's cancellation.

After reviewing today's weather report, we've made the tough decision to cancel today's potluck. We'll be very sad not to see everyone today, but rest assured that we will be continuing the potlucks in 2026!
Have a safe and gentle weekend!

I've noticed this as well and since I live in LA: they're still grabbing people here. I realize it's not being discussed much and I have my suspicions as to why but it's not over at all.
my friends in LA & I have been talking about this a lot—about how it seems that LA has been forgotten, even as we face some of the worst kidnappings we’ve seen all year
Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?

These books are such a joy. It feels good to occasionally spend some time in a gentle way, like reading about someone discovering how much their cat enjoys Churus.

I enjoyed this one a lot (and it worked well as an audiobook). I liked the first in the series okay too but this was much more my type of thing because I too would like to befriend a giant war corvid. No, really, where is my giant war corvid?

Paleo followers! Any of you work (or know someone who works) on Carboniferous insects? I've got a question about how cosmopolitan some of the big insect species mostly known from Europe were, and how likely it would have been for anything similar to turn up in Texas.
