Limestone Quarry, Knaresborough From 'Folkish' by Kym Deyn It's not my fault the rocks are insane, I'm just announcing stone-intent. If you were two-hundred-million years old and each century was worth less than a grain of sand if you had been mud and coral in Pangea and saw extinctions and then in the great yawn of tectonic plates became a little spit of something that one day would be England, if humans were the latest news, a misplaced handaxe your first trinket, if you watched Romans introduce gods and rabbits, if you saw Christ carried in a book, if you were a sprawl of caves, a castle, a cliff, a series of shrines, generations of homes, if you wore a vast forest as a cloak, if you buried a prophet, dug up a saint, if you kissed the last boar goodbye, if you became black with soot, if the forest was shorn to a sliver, if the river washed you to sand, if the day and night were a spinning top and your voice was the great echo of grit, if there was no moving through your history but the history was you over and over and over again, wouldn't you be a mudslide, a haunt, a great unspoken secret.

Kym's debut collection is just incredible. I commend it to you so utterly. Buy a copy now. Trust me. Trust me. ninearchespress.com/publications...

OUT TODAY! The STAR WARS: THE HIGH REPUBLIC PHASE III OMNIBUS from Marvel collecting my final THR stories working with artists @arioanin.bsky.social & Marika Cresta and an incredible team, plus my ACOLYTE one shot and SHADOWS OF STARLIGHT @charlessoule.bsky.social and a host of comic greats. (1/2)

Listen I promise that quoting this unspeakably loathsome person will remain an exception in my life but “I am under no pressure whatsoever, although, it will all happen, relatively quickly!” has definitely just been filed away in my brain for future reference

No.

Y'know what? No.

The entire mess Marvel is in has a lot of elements but a major one is that the Russos tied up the entire Marvel Universe with Endgame. Thematically, emotionally, structurally, the 10+ year buildup came to a climax and conclusion.

Don't pretend like it was a new beginning.

Ok Absolute line, take all my money. Just take all my money, it’s fine

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?

ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

I think the greatest trick for getting good at creative work i know is - finish making as many mediocre things as possible. Just finish stuff, again and again. Share it or don’t, but put a bow on it, put it aside, make the next thing, repeat.

Infowars/Onion combo logo in rainbow saying “I support the onion’s hostile media takeover.”

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

WORKSHOP-RAUM (im Keller / Workshop room in the basement) Ein Porträt der Diaspora neu gestalten / Recreating a Diasporic Portrait mit/with Jeong-in Mun https://www.instagram.com/bleu_comme_une_orange (https://www.instagram.com/bleu_comme_une_orange/) Datum / Date: 9. Mai / 9 May Uhrzeit/  Time: 16:00 - 17:00 Each participant writes four to five words describing aspects of their identity - such as nationality, origin, or physical characteristics. The words are then mixed and randomly reassigned. Using only these keywords, participants create a portrait of a person they do not know. The resulting drawing is not a self-portrait, but a portrait shaped by an external perspective. This process reflects diasporic experiences in which identity is often interpreted, constructed, or projected by others. Through this exercise, the workshop explores how identity can shift when it is seen, named, and reimagined from the outside.

Mehr Festival-Programm!

Es gibt am Samstag nachmittag, 9. Mai, 2 Comic-Workshop im Workshopraum im Keller.

Zuerst sind die Kids dran, den Workshop leiten Vic und Sergey von der BSCI.

Frog, ever the know-it-all, points out all the shortcomings of Toad's housekeeping. It is true, though, that Toad's house is a mighty mess, including a pile of dirty dishes in the sink. From "Tomorrow" In *Days with Frog and Toad*

“Your windows need scrubbing,” said Frog. “Your plants need watering.”

“Tomorrow!” cried Toad. “I will do it all tomorrow!”

The author scam emails are continuing to evolve.

Over the weekend I received one impersonating an employee of a local NPR station. They'd gotten many details right, including the station name and a program they ran... but the employee name was slightly misspelled.

Anyway, be careful y'all.

Hungary Must Arrest Visiting Leaders Sought by ICC, Magyar Says Hungary’s incoming Prime Minister Peter Magyar said he would halt the departure from the International Criminal Court that his predecessor Viktor Orban initiated, affirming that Hungary would respect ...

After Netanyahu's office claimed that Peter Magyar had invited him to visit Hungary, the PM-elected says that he will enforce all ICC arrest warrants once the country re-enters the Rome Statute.

[Hungary will] "have a legal obligation to enforce the ICC rulings and I'm sure [Netanyahu] knows this".

Scripted for an hour, let that be enough for today

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

Disney+ knew exactly what they were doing with that choice of thumbnail for the latest Daredevil Born Again ep

What an impressive display of self-knowledge

The Boys and Daredevil: Born Again are somehow the best pop cultural commentaries on the second Trump administration, which is less a matter of "superhero metaphors allow for sophisticated social commentary" and more a matter of "reality is now full of cartoonish supervillains."

Oh are we dropping crime fighting Catholics?

i've been writing more in my journal, which is like posting but the only audience is you years later thinking "damn! i really lived like that"

Hey y'all, the rent situation is pretty bad right now, please share this post around. Also my internet is still out, please say a prayer it comes back soon lol #MutualAidRequest

Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!” Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?” Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.” Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”

look at palantir (and other AI) dipshits talk about the work they do - ie identifying, monitoring, & facilitating the extrajudicial murder of people all over the world - and tell me you defend a corporate structure's right to exist, or a "kill chain's" right to exist.

and MY work scandalizes you?

it always surprises me when people react really viscerally to the idea of destroying systems and institutions that either no longer serve us (and can't be reformed), or never existed to serve humanity in general. putting the destruction of a system on the table shouldn't be a radical position
