Hotel showers

Circular shower handle. Three levels of heat:
Ice water
Warm but unsatisfying, "the devil's piss"
"The boys tell me you wanted to die"

This is old and it's not even the first time I've seen it but I need to stress to everyone that I am the reincarnation of this teenage girl

Meanwhile some teenage girl in the 1930s was sending these to her faourite horror magazine:

Devil's Croft is enticing. Raggh---woof---grr---I like so very much.

If you can get me any more story-length poems like Lovecraft's Psychopompos---by all means 'gimme.'

Ah---ahaha---haw haww---chuckle!

This year’s Ed Asner Family Center auction is live on Heritage, and here is my piece featuring Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. Check out this year’s full roster at the link, once again featuring a murderer’s row of top comic talent comics.ha.com/c/auction-ho...

Poison Ivy watches incredulously as Harley dumps an improbable amount of weapons and ephemera from her bag.

What a pair of scenes! The moment that had me like FUCK YEAH HUMANITY

The Ken in Yellow @ Lone Star Zine Fest @kenlowery.bsky.social · 17h

That is specifically why I wanted to go back a second time, to really relish in those spaces - i keep thinking, fondly, of how dirty the dojo's windows are

I'm thinking of how messy and lived in all the spaces where characters like Bob and Sensei live in against the arid staging a McMansion for Zillow quality of the CAC headquarters and the empty particle board cube they show Lockjaw, who nearly swoons with ecstasy over it at that.

OBAA rewards a repeat viewing, it's chaotic, free wheeling qualities reveal the larger whole that any story about America, about activism, about families is going to be messy.

Heyyyy Austin, I'll be at Lone Star Zine Fest this weekend!

If you're in Austin come out and say hi. It's free, family-friendly, they got zine-making workshops, the works.

the Lone Star Zine Fest poster, which reads
"The 2025 Lone Star Zine Fest
Oct. 11 & 12th at Blue Genie
6100 Airport Boulevard
Austin, TX
LoneStarZineFest.org"

The art is an old-fashioned computer desk. The computer and monitor have post-its that read
"12-6 PM"
"Free!"
"All ages!"
"100+ vendors"
"Comics jam"
"door prizes"
"zine making"

The Lone Star Zine Fest layout. Bannerless Games is at table 85, just to the left of the entrance.

Are any of my followers lawyers (or know of lawyers!) who can discuss IP law around fan fiction and publishing? I have some questions about this practice for a piece I’d like to pitch

Stefan Mohamed @stefmowords.bsky.social · 1d

honestly why do we even bother

Substack post from Lincoln Michel:

"Alchemised debuts at #1 with massive sales, making it the THIRD Harry Potter Draco-Hermione friends-to-enemies fan fic to be turned into a bestselling novel in 2025. It's easy to say that publishers are just feeding readers slop, but harder to admit that they... enjoy it. They’re going to keep publishing it if people gobble it up by the ton."
