The Unbound / Boundless mess goes hand in hand with this tale of a person who crowdfunded £37,000 & took the work of 100s of creators to publish a graphic novel about life during the lockdown. But then published nothing. 18 months after this article www.brokenfrontier.com/tales-quaran... cont...

oh my god. the articles about this are saying it was "an argument with a neighbor," what the hell. there is no scenario in which that's what this was and it's fucking appalling to have left out this context without even a mention

artists support each other when systems will not. there's little safety net. it is resilience. artists are not your competitors. artists are your peers, mentors, and the ones who will defend the ability to create sustainably. to those who struggle to continue drawing, you are an artist.

It's really important to me that people can come away from a visit to @brokenfrontier.bsky.social with a sense of discovery from our reviews. That they've found something fresh and exciting, or something that has changed their perceptions of what comics can be. www.brokenfrontier.com/section/revi...

Are Reform-led councils going to cough up for the benefit of these "consultations"?

as we have a few new followers i thought i had better tell you about the shop... 2019: The co-op is formed When a popular local bookshop (The Big Green Bookshop) moved away from the area at the end of 2018, it left Wood Green and Turnpike Lane without a bookshop.

If I were still an editor, I would be whizzing through Boundless's list and going shopping RIGHT NOW. All these excellent books (really cannot fault Unbound's editorial judgement), ready edited, with existing followings and huge public sympathy: get in.

Gonna be honest & frank here: Not had the best 6 months. Closing my bookshop, that I'd killed myself for over 2 years, has left me pretty shattered, knackered & broke. Money is extraordinarily tough now. Trying to refind a mojo so I'm using this book as a spark. Nothing serious but still important.

An article basically saying Ukraine is responsible for the ongoing 'war'. Even the author's name rhymes with Moscow.

Turns out the name Lord Glasman is one we need to keep an eye on. Glasman was the only Labour Party figure to be invited to the 2nd inauguration of Trump in Jan 2025. Founder of Blue Labour, a term he coined in 2009. (Tory Labour) He looks as dodgy as you imagine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice...

Petition to extract a group of Labour MPs & send them to live in America & not come back?

What's great is that Reform will be going into the next general election off the back of making their councils have stripped down, terrible services, job cuts & the need to hugely increase council tax to pay for the mess ups. (And they'll probably still win. Brilliant.)

If you’re looking at Elon Musk’s DOGE and thinking that is how we want to have our bins collected and potholes filled - you might be learning the wrong lesson.

£226 to go. Matt and I cannot thank you all enough. And I fear that might start to sound contrite, but we are genuinely blown away by the response to this. Can we fund today?

Oh good, yet more "Vote Labour get Reform" proposals. Unfortunately these are the people this government is listening to. Labour is already boosting Farage and his narrative with continued attacks on migrants, trans and non-binary individuals, the disabled et al www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
