It's probably (it's definitely) a bad sign I felt compelled to re-read 1984. That said, it still slaps. Yes, it's infuriating RWNJs have adopted it without understanding it but at least that serves as a pure example of doublethink. This graphic novel edition was a 'fun' way to reabsorb its insights.

Hey everybody, I have some news to share – I wrote a book! It’s about Columbus and it has maps (lots of maps!) created by the very talented @vickyjohnsondahl.bsky.social. It will be out on December 3, 2025 but you can preorder it now: beltpublishing.com/products/col...

Growing talent is Economic Development 101. This action is bullying and anti-American. Columbus is a talent-building city, leave the kids alone.

By the way, both women who ran for president were right. They predicted this moment would happen. Says something very disturbing about our country that many still think they’re unrealistic or dramatic, when they were and are, in fact, correct.

Fieldmouse Press, a terrific small comics publisher, is being clobbered by Trump's idiocy. Its spring catalog, printed in China and en route, is now being clobbered with a 54% tariff. This could sink the company. Fieldmouse is worth supporting.

I’m wildly verbose, but I can’t put into words how important libraries are to me. I’m grateful that my friend @talcotts.bsky.social gave it a shot. All of our libraries (and museums, and cultural institutions, and…) are about to be slaughtered. We can work together to save them. Let’s fucking do it.

Once again plugging the BEASTS OF BURDEN OMNIBUS in the hopes of selling a copy or two. In this modern comics world, a book comes out and disappears like a pebble in a lake. I keep taking the pebble out and drying it. I don't think that metaphor works but fuck it. BUY THIS BOOK. DON'T POSTPONE JOY.
