despite what mainstream comics will have you believe, comics are in fact allowed to be good

Tumblr post from every-lemon

so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff.
they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed.
I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."

it was a smash hit.
a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud.
he was home by 6:30am.

CXC was a good time, and good Lord I am tired. Glad they're moving the show to spring in 2027, I'm too old for this kind of back-to-back nonsense

A lot of other social media platforms do this and it would make my experience with the app like... 47% better

Hey @bsky.app, could you consider adding "double tap user icon in bottom right to switch profiles" to the UI/UX to-do list?

As always, @smallpressexpo.bsky.social was a reminder of why I do what I do. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, or who said that they loved @fieldmouse.press or the work we do.
