people only become left handed if the mirror baby crawls out when nobody is looking and pushes the normal baby into the mirror dimension. it’s a sign of bad parenting

Remember Abolish ICE? I feel like them going rogue and arresting judges with a perp walk pic no less might bring that back. (If NOthing else of this BS does.)

Good.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Portland needs more public bathrooms. It’s undignified for folks to have to find corners and crevices to go. I’m not even talking only about unhoused folks. People at transit centers waiting for the Max have to find a store and buy something to access a bathroom. Walking in a park, down avenues, etc

After City Councilor Mitch Green made controversial threats to withhold city funding for Portland State University over its handling of student protesters, students say their penalties were dropped. PSU faced pressure from Green and lawyers representing a pro-Palestine student group on campus.

Remember to be kind to your LCS! Looked like it was wonky this year, with a few cancellations and low-ish stock. I always say it's the best day of the year, but you usually also see the most entitled customer(s) of the year!

I'm lying low for bookstore day today (Comic Cave was always more of a newsstand comic shop than a bookstore), and Free Comic Book Day a week from today :). After that I'll start posting some events and maybe cool buying opportunities :)

What’s a line delivery you think about a lot?

Sounds like they're back to the drawing board on what happens to Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc. icv2.com/articles/new...

My friend at @secondshapes.bsky.social is hosting a North Portland Book crawl this weekend for independent Bookstore day! There are a plethora of great bookstores up here!! Come visit!! Buy books! Feel joy!!

FBI arrested a judge claiming they assisted in evasion from ICE — ICE had a warrant for a person with a case before the judge and were told to wait until the person of interest’s case that day was over. The person then fled, then caught, and the blame for fleeing was placed on the judge by the FBI.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

Nice to see Al Franken on THE RESIDENCE on Netflix.

something I really appreciate about Pascal is that he's using his position - which is very secure, he's hugely successful and they're not going to throw away a bunch of money firing him - to be this outspoken it's important that everyone speak out on trans rights but especially big names

The gap in my resume? It was then that I carried you my child

"Columbia Bank." I remember being at Wells Fargo and after they merged with Norwest & Wachovia, someone far away from Oregon was saying goodbye to an employee on a conference call (jumping ship) & they had to spell out: They're going to U-M-P-Q-U-A bank.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Again, don't need robotaxis, maybe I could drive my car to PDX then fly/send it home? I had 2 beers, it'll be my designated driver? Lyft meets AI. I read a lot of science fiction & sometimes it feels like they're trying to build things that smart people think aren't needed or practical.

Your periodic reminder that Palestinians (& Arabs in general) are a Semitic people by the very definition. Removing them from that is just further erasure, imho. That’s how deep the propaganda runs. “Anti-Jewish” could work, but they know “anti-Zionist”≠”anti-Jewish” so they push a fancier term

@repdexteror.bsky.social returns to PDX from El Salvador. She was denied meeting with wrongfully deported Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia. No idea where he’s being held. He’s denied contact w/ fam, lawyer. “We’re disappearing people” Dexter said. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/04/22/o...

Victory!!!! 3-2 vote, referred to full council. Thank you Councilor Steve Novick, @councilormorillo.bsky.social, @councilorkanal.bsky.social

I appreciate the Trump administration's commitment to being universally despised by all Americans

I was outvoted & we're going to THE CONVERSATION but this one is so good!

a friendly reminder never to buy your books from Amazon, where they are used as a loss leader so that you'll buy a flatscreen TV and your toilet paper instead-- and then use that money to send Katy Perry to space. Books aren't just products. They're culture. Buy them from those who understand that.

The roles I get to audition for

Launched! I'm a proud contributor to this book with over sixty other comic creators! Published by the champion of indie comics @cosmiclion.bsky.social And conceived by comics legend Don Simpson. Let's get this book funded! Cheers and thanks www.kickstarter.com/projects/gho...

Hi, I got laid off from Silver Sprocket last week and yesterday was my last day! I'm still so grateful for the chance to support some of the best cartoonists out there and to work with some amazingly-skilled colleagues. Everyone is struggling right now BUT I'm looking for work if you've got it!

Washington just took the reasonable step of not allowing the National Guard of other states to operate here without our agreement. It’s not the Guard personnel we are concerned about, it’s other governors in the Trump cult. katu.com/news/local/g...

A frustrating thing about comics is that there are very few functional sales charts (possibly by design, independent stores, no-frills publishers, etc.). There is now one fewer. www.comicsbeat.com/bookscan-202...

Makes sense.

Ugh

Replaced the broken oven heating element today #pleaseclap

Researching variants to sell on eBay, & I imagine things are down a bit due to some heavy hitters being sidelined - - But I'll never be convinced that it's not a net negative to just constantly overdo covers, pay the artists less, etc. It just makes comics less fun. www.ebay.com/usr/comic-ca...

I feel like @oregonianopinion.bsky.social is missing both the forest AND the trees here. This paragraph gives up the whole game: The PGE choice was to expressly avoid alternatives that might require money or regulation. Going through the *public park* was just pure expediency. 1/3

one note, change "am i broke?" to "how broke am i?" and this is a 10/10

U.S. Rep. Maxine Dexter, D-Oregon, announced Friday that she plans to travel to El Salvador to demand the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom the Trump administration wrongfully deported in March.

I made this! Happy #SupermanDay.

Happy Superman Day!

Imagine being afraid of a man who’s never mowed a lawn.

Well done. This is what you do. Trump & Stephen Miller can't follow every person around the globe and impede their movements. At some point someone will follow the law.

Hey, and I can’t stress this enough, but fuck Sebastian Gorka.
