Visiting my mom & she had a Tintin comic The Red Sea Sharks) lying around (probably from my childhood) & this sequence where Captain Haddock is concerned about Tintin vs concerned with protecting his precious whiskey bottle is so funny.

I took this photo of World Cup food specials at a pub in the Vancouver area on Sunday. It’s difficult to overestimate how angry Canadians are at the US.

Menu listing food specials illustrated with country flags. The menu item next to the US flag is called ‘The Tariff Burger’.

Hyperspecific zines are fun for you, but they can also be palcatchers. I made a quartersheet sketchbook when I was first tabling that was just little bust portraits of writers of pulp & romantic adventure stories and only a handful of folks picked it up, but one of those has become a longtime friend

Approach zine making the same way that you made blog posts 10 years ago. Do you have an opinion that maybe 8 friends and like 3 strangers might be interested in? An answer to a question that's infrequently asked? A rant you could turn into a tight 5? that's zine material right there, buds

I have a young poet here who wants to find an Indian poet who wrote a contemporary response to Kipling (for the purposes of a golden shovel) in English/in translation. Anyone have some thoughts about who I can point him to?

These two are the same insect, 26 minutes apart. The picture on the left is the regular appearance. The one on the right is what the insect looks like after it is scared and produces a chemical that spreads between its body and its elytra. 🌿🌱 #beetle #insect

A side by side composite image of a beetle. The image on the left shows a gold beetle with some reddish iridescence. The one on the right looks blue with a gold spot in the middle. These are tortoise beetles so they have clear elytra that extend well beyond the shape of its body like a helmet.

I’ve been thinking a lot about my little zine from last year as the Green roll into their playoffs (and as the women’s team finish their inaugural season at the national finals) — Looking forward to tonight’s @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social game! #UTFG

If you want to read “Why I Love the Vermont Green,” I’ve taken pictures of the little zine for you. Of course it’s nicer if you can hold it in your hands. But here’s the zine in full (1/2) #WILtVG

Stuff like this is why "I had to use AI because I couldn't afford to hire an artist" is a horseshit excuse. There's so much incredible work you can use for free and lovely people like this that want to help you do that.

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇
