I'm getting tired, and I'm sure I'm missing a fuck-ton of good folks.

@cursedmorsels.bsky.social is the place to go to get books that are made with care, curated spectacularly and fiercely anti-capitalist. I think they ship directly too, but I'm not sure?

I can't NOT dig @apocalypseparty.bsky.social, I mean, they publish tons of our favorite people, they have great taste, and they singlehandedly invented using black metal iconography on things that aren't black metal albums:

The folk at @deadskypub.bsky.social cast a pretty wide net, but they're giving a lot of newbs a shot too, and they're taking a HELLUVA LOT OF SHOTS on indie comics people lately too, which gets my respect:

Now's a great time to say: I WON'T/CAN'T REMEMBER EVERY PRESS. IF I MISS SOMEONE IT'S NOT A KNOCK ON THEM.

I'm chaos-gremlin-ing a bit myself rn.

Even if we don't personally sync with every indie's vibes, if they're in the business of opening doors for new writers, then they've got our love.

Max & Lori @ghoulish.bsky.social have been doing it a while & they remain a model for not giving a fuck who's toes they step on as long as they remain true to their skewed, goopy vision.
They also have a killer brick & mortar in San Antonio:
