And now I'm crying. Thank you @wordsfromapenn.com for such a beautiful and thoughtful revie. Aaron often spoke of you and how appreciative they were that you were one of the first to highlight BytchCraft when it was a webtoon. Aaron is right, you are a remarkable critic and we’re thankful for you ✨

Also, the con is the only place you'll be able to get this print for quite a while. (Reasons....) So if you want one, stop by my table or get a friend who's there to do so!

An art piece of two Black people, a man and woman, sitting in a 1930s car. The woman is in the open passenger seat with a small robot on her lap. The man, wearing a brown suit, is sitting on the running board with his hat on his knee. A skinny limbed robot stands nearby, wearing a green fedora and holding a rifle over his shoulder.

To make the most of a week, we will begin on June 9th with COUNTESS by @sillysyntax.bsky.social! As an admin for the Ignytes, Suzan cannot be nominated for one but that didn't stop the Nebulas.

This gives us some lead time while celebrating a writer who would be nominated if not for their service.
