Hey beautiful people of Bluesky! I'm looking to shore up the next few months of #Comic lettering work! So, if you or someone you know needs a letterer, I would really appreciate it if you send them my way! #ComicBooks #ComicArt

Books don't tell readers who they personally are or who they are supposed to be. They do show readers a variety of characters. Implicit in that is this: "Here are some ways of being." Kids books aren't altering your kid to be someone new. They are simply showing them parts of humanity.

Bluesky has more performative dunking than the Harlem Globetrotters.
Look, I'm not going to tell people what to post, but the amount of BlueSky folks dragging Matt Walsh takes from X here is starting to feel very calculated. That man is no one. Charlie Kirk does not need an heir.

Sorry, it's gone on long enough and I have to say something: it is highly unlikely that a professional media distributor like Criterion only has one closet.
