A digital illustration of a light brown haired white woman cheerfully raises a hand to a large word balloon and says “Do you have a comic that needs printing? Contact Katie Berntson. Berntkat@gmail.com. $150 consultation. Prepress. Color conversion. Consultation. Berntkat.com/design.” Next to her is a grey silhouette of a person labeled “YOU” holding a book. The person says “thank you, Katie! I love my book.” Katie replies “you’re welcome, satisfied customer!”

A cartoon drawing of a fish in water, eating fish flakes that are falling in.
An arrow pointing to flakes says "YOUR COMMENTS ON MY LITTLE PICTURES AND STORIES"
An arrow pointing to the fish says "GROWING FAT AND HEALTHY"
Another arrow pointing to the fish says "ME (ARTIST)"

Good luck to all the artists at NYCC!!! Especially my friends! Sorry you only get extra luck if you’re friends with me. That’s just how the cookie crumbles.

Yeah that was the implication lol

Tried a mooncake for the first time. I’m officially on a quest to find more.

It’s like none of these people who keep toting AI have creative friends. When I’m stuck on a drawing, I ask my friends to look at it and give critique. You don’t need AI to do that. You just need friends who you respect and who respect you lmao.

"you are taking in the human centipede of content from the very end of the line" is such a good way of describing AI

Holy shit I just caught up on Peacemaker and wtf??? John Cena made me cry!

I’m glad you were okay in the end! What a scary situation!

I didn’t notice the time stamp at first and thought this was recent (ie just happened as opposed to 2 years ago). What a bump!

If you haven’t gotten around to it… make some time for this this weekend.

It’s a great piece of journalism.

Here it is, my last piece for @eater.bsky.social: my treatise on the last 20 years of food culture, and how food turned into fandom. I really hope you read it. www.eater.com/food-culture...

Nobody Wants to Be a Foodie

How “foodie” went from badge of honor to cringey term to pejorative smear and all the way back again.

I got to watch my friend do an incredible horror themed pole dance performance as Pearl and it was incredible. There was also a performance from the Witch-QUEEN of Angmar to some metal music and I’m changed.

A comic page in blue and pink. "When I started this zine, Hazel was our only cat." A woman gasps at her phone. "On March 1, 2025 we got a text from our friends who had been fostering a litter of kittens they found in their neighborhood." A close up of a cell phone with a text chat. The highlighted bubble asks you want a kitten? " The friends who were lined up ot adopt the last kitten had to back out. We were ready... but was Hazel?" Two women nod happily in agreement. Another panel shows them looking at their current cat skeptically. The cat on her tower looks at them in disinterest.

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!
