Hey, come closer.
No, closer.
I have a New Year’s secret for you.
It’s this:
If you care about people you don’t even know, and try to live your life that way, you are absolutely beautiful no matter what you look like.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

If you see this, post a comics cover you love. It need not be the very first issue of X-Men you’ve ever read, drawn by the incomparable @johnromita.bsky.social at the height of 90s X-Men popularity, but it doesn’t hurt!

@alewingpromotes.bsky.social does it again because I accidentally read the entire collection in one sitting. Loved seeing how he twisted a ton of GL concepts to make them new, and the way he’s brought in characters from other franchises to shift the interactions. Shoutout to @jahnoyl.bsky.social art

These 4 panels just cracked me up. Thanks for the great words, @alewingpromotes.bsky.social and excellent acting Lee Loughridge! If this turns out to actually be @stevelieberart.bsky.social, apologies in advance for misremembering which issue this is!

I had MRSA this summer and was down for a month, and felt like a potato after. Grateful to have progress pictures showing me where I was two years ago, and where I am now. Next step: get back to 2023 weight with 2025 leanness.

@gailsimone.bsky.social I loved your words in this page so much. This is such a good description of how my anxiety feels, especially the last five boxes, when the anxieties coalesce into depression. Thanks for getting that so right.

The phrase “ parents have a legitimate concern about integration of races in schools and as a party, we haven’t done a very good job of listening to those concerns.” would shock and offend I would hope. A similar statement about trans kids should also shock and offend.

I’m several months late to the game because I intentionally waited for the collection, but @kellythompson.bsky.social @cleanlined.bsky.social Mattia De Iulis Jordie Bellaire and @conroyforreal.bsky.social knocked it out of the park on this one. What a killer opening sequence!

This part! Literally judge a book by its cover, pick one you like, and read it. Not sure about the backstory? Ask your local comic shop employee; post on BlueSky or instagram or your preferred platform; make a friend at your local store. Just don’t go to YouTube for help; it’s risky.
it’s always hilarious to me that there are long think pieces and video essays about how to get into comics.
it’s so simple: go read some. don’t worry about having to know all “the lore” or having to read nearly a hundred years of previous issues. just - go get some comics and read them.

Pointing out how safe DC by showing the low crime rates isn’t going to convince conservatives because “people breaking the actual law” isn’t what they mean by “crime”. To them, “crime” includes merely seeing black people, unhoused people, and anyone else the bigots clutch pearls about as “crime”
