It's the time of year again -- time to do your holiday shopping from independent artists. It's more important than ever to support people actually making stuff!

If you're an artist or craftsperson of any kind, please reply to this with what you make and a link to your store and I'll share it!

Really sad to hear of Jimmy Cliff's passing. Ever since I got into underground music when I was 14, The Harder They Come soundtrack was appreciated by the most disparate groups of people. And this one has inspired me countless times over the years

One thing I love about The Ballad of Buttery Cake Ass is that people who have been in bands really get it. I feel bad for those others who say they don't, who have never experienced the glorious ridiculousness that is rock n roll

"the book would make a beautiful advertisement for a Tourist Board Of The Unconscious if such a thing were to exist. “Come on in! Forget your illusions of control and immerse yourself in all the wonder we have on offer!”
Also from me today, a review of Laura Pérez's wonderful Nocturnos for @comicsjournal.bsky.social . "Nocturnos... is a powerful book. A spell to remind us how nature weaves a way into everything around us, down to our subconscious"
