Testament by @jmarshallsmith.bsky.social is easily
one of my faves this year. An existential story that will grip your heart told through gorgeous, expressive artwork. Also - so much love for old lady protagonists π₯

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."
Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

Also! Among other nice little drawings, I've added portraits of the cast of the current season of Taskmaster to my patreon giveaways. I think all of these are still available except for Greg and Alex, which were scooped early.
