Per below, whenever I finish the first draft of a book, the last few hours of work, I put on Purple Rain & Daydream Nation to get me through it. And now…Side One of Purple Rain. See you on the other side!
finally reading The Underground Railroad by @colsonwhitehead.com and these two lines in the acknowledgements really stuck out to me

There’s a small bookshop “adult scholastic book fair” at a local brewery

They vastly misunderstood the demand

One thing I'm not sure everyone realizes is how much more *fun* it is to live in a walkable neighborhood. I know it's not realistic for everyone (all the more reason to make it so for more people), but to be in a spot that's dense enough to support bakeries, groceries, yarn shops, etc.--it rules.

This is all incredible but I had zero idea that the creator of Maus, which is how I learned about Auschwitz as an American kid, also created the Garbage Pail Kids???
Maus author Art Spiegelman’s next comic will be about Gaza, in collaboration with Joe Sacco. He thinks he will struggle to find a publisher in the United States.

“I’ll finish this thing or die trying.”
Art Spiegelman Won’t Shrink Back From Controversy
The artist has illustrated more than one contentious New Yorker cover in his career, chronicled in a new film, and his next project will be no less gutsy.

Before he went all in on harassing trans ppl, he was bizarrely obsessed with YA authors. It was so upsetting to him that ppl wanted to get rid of racism in kids books. He brought armies of Nazi trolls down on random authors, just “asking questions” about “free speech”.

He’s ALWAYS BEEN like this.
kinda feel like the Bsky team won't listen to trans users about this, so I'll say it as a Cis Person: I don't want Jesse Singal on here spreading his lying hateful "just asking questions" bullshit. he is not acting in good faith, he causes active harm, and he adds nothing worthwhile to this platform

One annoying thing about historical research is looking up how long it took to get from A to B in the US by train in 1880 and then looking it up now and realizing it was faster in 1880.

A reminder for my journalism colleagues: Access to power is not a good, in and of itself. If you cannot tell the truth and retain access, choose truth. If you cannot be critical and retain access, choose critique. If you have to run bullshit gossip stories to retain access, choose 🖕🏻🖕🏻

Since we’re all desperate for a positive distraction today, I guess I’ll share some exciting news I’ve been sitting on for a few months… I made an accidental discovery in art history & after four years of researching and reworking, it’s finally getting published!

Vett more before you click "follow all" on a starter pack. 😂 I read one funny post, saw a "funny people" pack that person made, and mass followed. Now I am unfollowing one-by-one a hundred people who all tell exactly the same kind of joke and RT each other compulsively.
