Yet more Pride and Prejudice covers! For last, I've saved two lovely and colourful ones, and one where Elizabeth has apparently been sent off to war.

More fun vintage Pride and Prejudice covers! This time we get ominous Twilight-esque marketing, a curiously cardboard-focused design, and one where Darcy is looming over Lizzy's bonnet like a shark.

Please buy books that are coming out this year.
Doesn’t have to be mine. But there is a stellar release calendar this year especially of Black writers and it would be a shame if one of the fascist victories was people not buying those books (from the indies that are in the fight with us). #BookSky

Look at these vintage pulp covers of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice my roommate discovered! Can't decide if I prefer the Vegas Wedding vibes, the Andy Warhol/pop art affair, or Gothic rake Darcy. Vote now?

if any of you are noticing that @lindarrow.bsky.social and i are especially synced up it's because i'm visiting her in canada right now. also because we're bound by the red string of fate but that's secondary

I lucked out with the best possible collaborator. I can't even imagine where I would be today without Lin's friendship & artistic influence. Lin, I love you and I hope we make comics together forever 🩷

2025, I got really into learning about high-altitude mountaineering, which often involves something called a Death Zone. Opening my heart to the universe to send me another niche interest for 2026 because by now all my friends have heard me dramatically recount the discovery of Sandy Irvine's foot.

I think Barbara Stanwyck was maybe the coolest woman who ever lived.
Who has watched DOUBLE INDEMNITY (1944) recently? Thoughts? 🎥

I'm teaching a university class next year exclusively on Baldur's Gate 3 and I kind of can't believe my amazing English department is letting me do it!! Yes I am going to assign my students fantasy races, classes, and romances.

One day somebody NEEDS to write a dissertation about the royalist politics of these 'fake European sovereign nation Christmas romance' movies where Americans can live out the fantasies of marrying into royalty unburdened by any meaningful politics or histories.

The best part of 12 Angry Men is Juror #8 smiling as he instigates fights between the other jurors like Noemi Malone starting a fist fight on the dance floor at a nightclub.

Look I’m not trying to sound egotistical but I just feel like if I was there during the Salem witch trials with all those girls screaming about being collectively cold, I’d be the one going “guys this is dumb.” I just really think I’d be That Bitch in the witch club.

My #1 fav romcom trope is the pathologically boundary-trampling friend who lives exclusively to force the protagonist into various dream situations and never once thinks of wearing the dress, going for the promotion or dating the senator herself.
