These Survivors have to stop calling Jeff Probst “Uncle J”. It’s irrational, yes, but also irritates me every time I hear it.

This photographer deserves one of those FIFA Peace prizes!
Oh my god y'all I had not seen the rest of the Vanity Fair photos holy shit. Christopher Anderson deserves a medal.

Look at this. He left the LIGHT SWITCHES in the edited photos! These assholes look like their well-meaning mom took a picture of them on their first day in a grown-up job.

Went to @backissuescomicon.bsky.social (I mean, I gotta since it’s my show) and it was great. Lots of people, happy vendors, cool crowd, special guests that I am so appreciative of. I saw some people buying some sweet books. I was busy but managed to pick these up.

Cleaned this book up and gave it a press. It’s not drastic, but it does look much better now.

I would support purchases in any state that is actively resisting in an aggressive manner and reconsider travel to the US In those states only…for what it’s worth.
Republicans and Donald Trump were counting on California to cave in response to their election rigging attempts in Texas.

But they've got another thing coming. We're fighting back.
