Maine, I owe you everything. I’m ready to get to work for Mainers in the U.S. Senate, and I promise you this: I’ll never forget where I came from or who I’m fighting for. Thank you. Let’s go build a government that works for all of us.

PORTLAND, it's time for First Friday Office Hours! This Friday, August 7th, I'll be at Books With Pictures @bkswpicspdx.bsky.social at 1401 SE Division from 4-6PM, giving professional feedback on your comics art. Here's how it works (thread) #pdxcomics
Steve Lieber@stevelieberart.bsky.social · 6mo agoYou show me 6-8 pages of comics storytelling. I'll give you feedback based on my 30 years in comics. What works, what doesn't, how to tweak a panel for clarity or impact, tips for saving labor- the sort of advice your teacher at a comics class might offer.
Not everyone knows! Keep spreading the word!

they're just in too deep is all. if they admit they've been pretending Mitch McConnell is still alive, the "Weekend at Bernie's" jokes could propel Bernie Sanders' socialist-backed candidates to a rousing success in the midterms. they're in too deep. can't stop now
filling out a FOIA request to learn the status of Mitch McConnell. will hear back in 2029
one thing i really don't like about Android is that screenshots are state-independent. if my phone is in greyscale mode and i take a screenshot, the screenshot isn't greyscale; it has all the original colors as if i didn't have a color filter on. i want screenshots that are true to my screen
This makes us so happy. It's part of the Port of Portland's retail residency program program. The airport partners with *local* businesses to create pop-up shops! www.thepopverse.com/comics-books...
A comic book store at an airport? Yes please, now I have one more reason to fly to PDX
Forget Hudson News, PDX is getting a comics pop-up shop with Books with Pictures.

While everyone's "all the love to trans folks" posts are nice and it is good to see support We have been getting them for a decade now. If you want to support trans folks, hire us. Support GFMs and asks for mutual aid. Put yourself between trans folks in public if you see harassment.
‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
![That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.
I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.
That’s great advice for life.
It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yvbszlkc7d75ixkid5g2zmw7/bafkreiar4z6n6pfk7wob2gznv6l6euw7ltxbetgto5drfd4wqzjalldp5m)
I just saw a Cybertruck with a "Baby on Board" sticker and thought that was surprisingly self-aware of the driver.

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.
