They are loud, they drain our water supply, they increase our power bills, and they are a visual and environmental blight, consuming forests, farmland, and residential areas.
We need a broad, statewide coalition of resistance. Enough is enough. And we are way past enough.

FYI: Satellite voting is open today (Sunday) in #Virginia And in Chesterfield, North Courthouse Library is open until 5. #RVA.
It’s pretty insane watching
these Peter-Thiel-funded
anti-redistricting commercials
in Virginia.
Showing Dr. King and narrating with a Black AI voice about civil rights…
It’s amazing how lying is the only path for them - never actually trying to improve things for voters.

Charity Auction RavenCon is active in community service. Each year we hold a Charity Auction to raise funds for that year’s designated charity. Our programming guests, dealers, and attendees all generously donate items to be auctioned off. So far, RavenCon has raised over $25,000 for charities and non-profit organizations. 2026 Charity Auction RavenCon is supporting RVA Community Fridges this year. Mutual aid means that we each give from our own abundance. RVA Community Fridges is about more than free food. It’s neighbors helping neighbors. It’s sharing our abundance and receiving what we need. It’s creating and taking back space— for the people, by the people. It’s about building a more resilient community.

Gary Cohn For over thirty years Gary Cohn’s business card has read, “writer, teacher, fencer, motorcyclist.” He says that he has had two careers as a comics writer. The first was in the early eighties, when he co-created Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld and Blue Devil at DC Comics. His second comics career came a dozen years later, when he got aboard the Crusade Entertainment bandwagon early on, editing Shi and writing Shi: Senryaku as well as his own Demon Gun. Additionally, he has written a wide variety of other work, including several Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew paperbacks, short fiction, essays, history articles, ad copy, and more. In 2014, after retiring from teaching in NYC, he moved to Richmond, VA, where he has returned to writing. Current projects include Magic Bus, a collection of semi-autobiographical short stories; Playing With My Friends, an anthology of comics stories in the old House of Mystery model; New Devil, with Blue Devil artist/co-creator Paris Cullins and artist Derwin Roberson; and Nemesis, with former NYC teaching colleague and BronxHeroes Con founder Ray Felix. Gary is currently also doing writing/editorial/consultant work for Udderly Ridiculous Productions (udderlyridiculousproductions.com).

D.L. (Dee Leana) Carter was decanted from her incubation pod in the outback of Australia many decades ago. This terrifying event was closely followed by shrieks of “there, there it goes. Hit it with a brick!” These valiant attempts to correct the existence of D.L. were, unfortunately, unsuccessful and she now resides in New Jersey, in a box with her toys, two human beings and a variable number of cats writing humorous romances in the regency, elvish and paranormal universes. If she appears distracted when you speak to her please wave coffee under nose.

The Democrats say vote! Vote Yes!
To fix Republicans' big mess.
Republicans act like a friend:
Vote 'No' they say, but they pretend
to want what's best for you: they don't,
They want to trick you for your vote.
They do not care what's […]
Hey #Virginia, just so y'all know, Vote yes by Apr 21.
Ignore the mailers and ads that are paid for by Justice for Democracy PAC or Democracy and Justice PAC.
Those two PACs are chaired by AC Cordoza, my former state del who got ousted because he got caught sexting teenage girls.
Our Visibility Brigade were out over 64 to ask you to vote YES by 4/21. Stop the crazy! #voteyes #virginia #visibilitybrigade

The incredible story of Julia Hancock. A girl who loved two men--one as her husband, the other like a brother--and those men were Lewis & Clark.

The cover of a binder. The top says "public A.T.C. trading binder" which is spelled out in collage using different colors of paper. That area is circled in a colorful, shiny gel pen design. Outside of that is a bunch of different illustrations in various styles and colors, most notably a bright yellow and orange flower with a long bright green stem, all rimmed in dark blue; as well as a bunch of pastel, multi-colored bubbles and a bubble wand. There is a square that has shiny text: Artist Trading Cards are 2.5"x3.5" pieces of art meant for trading and collecting. Any subject, any material. Across the bottom it says "Make one (arrow) Leave one (arrow) Take one".
I have made a PUBLIC #ATC TRADING BINDER! I'm so psyched about this. I'll be bringing it all around #Maryland #Virginia and #Pennsylvania and have it stocked with #ArtistTradingCards (and hopefully some blanks, too).
