comic fury has been an amazing, indie run comic host that has lasted for 17 years for a reason. comics will help comics. at the end of the day, we have each other.
I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out.
If you want to adopt a family, and can afford to give $500 or more, signal me at asiniiwiikwe.72
love immediately spotting Jonathan Djob Nkondo's little doodads. what an incredible animator
A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow
It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker
This was never about woman's sports

Gawain the green knight opening a letter sealed with wax
Little Alex Horne in his studio chair with the caption "so a simple task: land a fair blow anywhere on the green knight. One year later meet him at the green chapel, receive the same blow yourself."
A cut to a wider shot showing Greg Davies in his throne turning to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Well surely no one just ran up and whanged his head clean off."
Cut back to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Let's see Gawain first."
Looks like the original has been swept away by the sands of time.
For the first time since @projectsaltbox.bsky.social launched their DHS warehouse acquisition tracker, the number of canceled sales is higher than any of the other warehouse-related figures. We've reached a tipping point, folks.

In a futuristic city, technology has made the supernatural hard to hide. The world knows werewolves are real but their rarity makes them an oddity not a threat. But more lies out there trying to stay in the shadows. Grab the 5th book on kickstarter now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/149...
One of the kind of fucked up parts of the ICE occupation here is that a lot of folks want to believe itβs over, and the media seems to tell us itβs over, but folks on the ground are still seeing tons of activity and vulnerable people are still (rightfully) terrified to go outside. We canβt stop yet.

Yes! And anything that might run for a few modest volumes before reaching a conclusion isnβt given that chance if itβs not a broad, breakout hit.
Adults will buy comics if thereβs an actual variety of subjects and themes, something the manga industry has figured out and that I wish could be internalized more stateside.
Keep Minnesota Housed! Much of the media has left, but ICE is still in Minnesota and hundreds of families need help with rent in order to avoid eviction.

In what could be the βlargest rent strike in the US in the last 100 years," a coalition of tenant + labor unions representing over 25K workers are threatening a mass rent strike in the face of the ongoing occupation by ICE. www.commondreams.org/news/minneso...
Itβs day 76 of the ICE occupation of
MSP.
ICE is still here - we still have vastly more agents on the ground than we did in late November.
And those agents are still kidnapping our neighbors and terrorizing neighborhoods.
Stay vigilant, and letβs pay rent for March 1 for everyone who needs it.
Heading home this morning, I genuinely appreciate how many people here, upon learning where Iβm visiting from, asked, βHow is it there right now?β
People want to know how Mpls is holding up and how their communities can prepare to take care of each other!
Doors opening soon, San Francisco!
Here's where you can find me at @prideinpanels.bsky.social on 2/15, San Francisco!
Yeah!
Morning, Oakland.
