I'm feeling sharey. in 2024 oni-press (due to malevolence or irrresponsibility, I can't say) tried to only deliver half of my royalties for the year. if I hadn't noticed it when I was doing my taxes and called them on it/sicc'd my agent on them I would be out thousands of dollars haha
The cover of Halachic Left's Pesach 5786 reader, “כי ישאלך בנך מחר” / “When Your Child Asks You in Days to Come.” The background is a light blue/periwinkle with soft clouds. The title is in Hebrew and English, and there is an illustration of a man holding a small child in his arms as she points towards the sky. The cover also says "Essays for Pesach 5786" and "Published by Halachic Left" at the bottom.

I described the full theory to my older sister who was sitting nearby in confusion and she thought I was making it up until I clarified more than once that I was quoting near-verbatim the posts I had had the misfortune of reading.
Antisemitism is present everywhere, but it's only on X that Jewish women will be shown 770 mattress conspiracizing on such a consistent basis. Very special place over there.
My mother asked me not to post on Tumblr about an extremely benign personal religious practice of hers (not that I ever have!) because "they'll start talking about the mattresses again." She did not believe me that this is, very specifically, an X thing.
with woodcock mania sweeping the nation it feels like the right time to post this New Yorker reject that, in hindsight, was way too specific

Shockingly, the latter addition is from a TERF—the lack of self-awareness is rather mystifying.

This is so clever! Particularly surprised because it would appear to be based at least in part on something made with e.g. Claude Code, which I would not have expected to be capable of something this sophisticated. I'll be back tomorrow!
"On Tuesday last week, Ehrlich realized he had no money in the bank to make payroll. The sales for the whole month of February had amounted to less than $20,000, less than half of what the store needs to make in a month to break even."
Silver Sprocket on Valencia Street bids adieu

Dozens of comics aficionados filled Silver Sprocket’s storefront at 1018 Valencia St. for one last chance to purchase…

A zoomed in pic of the empty window display of Silver Sprocket
I brought the girls home, it’s sad to see the empty window as the shop clears out, the whole thing makes me sad and pissed off, but I saw this photo (right) online today and someone tagged two little dogs :,3
The Sprocket store staff could really use the help after their short notice layoffs!
Everyone we got the opportunity to work with at Silver Sprocket as part of making Sweatgasm was excellent, and it's such a shame that every single person we worked with (outside of the owner) no longer is employed by Sprocket tbh.

As someone who can unbelievably make the insane flex that I have seen the draft, it is not mid, it is really good, and in my opinion it may be an all-timer. But then I've only seen it (the draft) once, and it wasn't the whole thing yet. Still, it's definitely not mid. ^_^

in cinderella, the mouse launches a button at the cat by pressing it with another button, referencing tiddlywinks. in the context of the year it was released, this is like if he attacked the cat with a beyblade or something
You and I will make this so. I’m never calling it that horrible other word people decided to embarrass themselves with and that is final!
I’m surprised other people are taking this reply to be “human-written”! That “highlighting the need for nuanced discussion” is just so ChatGPT, and the entire profile is filled with unsuccessful bot engagement bait… quite odd.
Late on this one but when I was small enough to I used to invert myself entirely on these like a pole dancer. In hindsight not the best idea but it was as much of a rush as it sounds...
that 1 friend who's too eepy
I just came here to say that after reading SEARCHES I wondered if you had ever made it to BlueSky, because we need more artists who are keeping up with technological progress and reporting back, and you mentioned wanting to leave Twitter—so happy to see you here!
