As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

GET NATE CROWLEY WRITING YOU STUFF HE'S WELL GOOD

Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Feast your eyes on Anderida’s ABSOLUTELY STUNNING edition of @aptshadow.bsky.social’s TERRIBLE WORLDS: REVOLUTIONS - a true work of art!
I think this is now the most beautiful book I own. Yes, it’s Adrian’s text (as good as ever) and Anderida did amazing work here, from typography to binding, etc. but my lord, Ian McQue’s art goes f-ing hard.
