We could try to make Leiber a posthumous bestseller by claiming his 1943 novel "Conjure Wife" as Dark Academia. (It was filmed multiple times, most famously as "Burn, Witch, Burn" aka "Night of the Eagle".)
It is the birthday of Fritz Leiber, (pronounced Lie-ber) the man who coined the term sword & sorcery and who wrote some of the best work in the genre. I actually read Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser in prose before I read Conan.He was also a fantastic author of horror and fantasy.Just a wonderful writer.

There are a lot of good graphic novels and comics to follow up on in this thread! And if you have recommendations, pop those into the original thread!
Hey, I'm looking for comics and graphic novels *by* Indigenous writers and/or illustrators, especially in the Americas. Doesn't have to be a recent book. Any genre! Any topic, any themes, does not have to be a memoir or history, though that is welcome too!

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

Just so we're clear, I firmly believe you could fart into a bag, toss that bag into the basement, open it 3 days later, and whatever crawled out would still contain more value than any "art" produced by AI.

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

Crossed the international dateline while playing Despelote and for second the time on the in game watch matched up with my actual watch. Fantastic flight game, game me a real sense of being in a time and place I've never been to. Like walking through a memory.
