I dunno how I find swimming Bluesky (Is there a #SwimSky?) but we have SO MUCH awesome swim art in our book! New comics by Alina Wahab, @missjamiekaye.bsky.social, @hyzkoa.bsky.social, & @taramavery.bsky.social Get in, the water's fine! Come Out and Play! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sta...

I increasingly see sports as an existential fight between people who want sports to be fun and people who approach sports as miserably and joylessly as possible. Jazz Chisholm wants baseball to be fun and so I can't root for him hard enough to agitate the Miguel Rojas's of the world.

You are capable of amazing things, simply because of who you are.

After seeing Gojira at the Olympic Games ceremony, I look forward to Sweden organizing the games. Viagra Boys may pop up and play "Sports". #Paris2024 www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjL7...

'Come Out and Play' comics series focuses on the gay side of sports from an LGBTQ perspective.

"The people who are in power right now want us to be quiet and cowed. So we need to be noisy and defiant to show that we are not going anywhere."

Moar queer rodeo pics. If you ever get to attend one, I highly recommend.
