Life is more important than books, but I do want to say that I appreciate Star Fruit's place in the industry. They license such cool books that would otherwise go missed.
I found Minami Q-ta thru them, and they've published Hideshi Hino too.
Please help if you can.

it doesn't get mentioned all that much in books on drawing or comics, but i don't know any technique that's more useful than walking away for an hour

Hey, did you know you can just message the prime minister of Canada whenever you want? For instance, to tell him that his government's intervention in the flight attendant strike is an attack on workers' rights?? You can! In this form here! You can also email Jobs Minister at [email protected]!

I’m still underselling how much this book means to me. It’s really something special. The parallel arcs for Scout and Merrin, the little moment at the end with Scout’s old friend, it’s all so elegant. Now when I listen to concert band renditions of nerd music I just picture the girls tearing it up🤦‍♀️

@jelajade.bsky.social Spent my break at the library reading your book. Loved it. Scout is, at least a little gay for Merrin, right?

my view is that everyone should be able to earn a living wage doing whatever it is they like. if you love working in a bookshop, you should be able to live a comfortable life doing so. if you loving being a barista, the same. and if you want to do more traditional blue collar work, that’s cool too!

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · Jul 8

the other thing is that no one who fetishizes manual labor actually cares to improve life for people who are in those circumstances! no support for unionization or a generous welfare state! no interest in policies that make life easier for people who work their hands or afford them more autonomy!
