What a surprise, the organizers of the covid cautious dyke bar hated the article, rejected its framing, and is defending their covid cautious patrons and performers. Anyone who joined in on the viral harassment campaign started by Jesse Singal wanna say oops or…? recorder.com/2026/09/24/g...

Current and former owners of Last Ditch could not be reached by phone, email or social media. However, Last Ditch did share on Instagram that the Globe story allegedly misconstrued statements from Noire, and urged community members to stop harassing Noire.
"It is neither productive, progressive, nor valiant to attack a Black patron. He has been a collaborator and performer of Last Ditch for a while, and he deserves to speak his mind about accountability and repair from the bar," the Last Ditch statement reads. "There are so many misconceptions due to the disorganization of the Globe article. He did not call for the bar to be firebombed. Further, he did not disparage the owner for being homeless.
"As a result of this abysmal journalism, he has been getting additional threats, slurs, harassment, and is being reported to the police over something he did not do," Last Ditch continued. "This is not supporting us at Last Ditch, and it is, at its core, anti-Blackness hysteria."

Something tells me that the organizers of this covid cautious lesbian space—who, per the article, made great efforts to maintain it as a covid cautious lesbian space—wouldn’t appreciate this difficult moment being used to trash on covid cautious queer people in general.

If you're wondering why so many comics people are po'd about the Publishers Weekly PR stunt for an "AI" "graphic novel publisher" is because the whole piece is an insult to the hard work people do to make comics. No element can just be outsourced to a machine and then traced and not look like crap.

gearing up to get another book ready to send into the world right now and i just wanted to take a second to say that you should get your hands on a copy of SIMPLICITY if you like anything i've ever made. i'm still so immensely proud of it.

and while I'm on the subject of books that deserved to be a massive sensation, I still think @mattielubchansky.com's Simplicity is the great book of the regrettably ongoing moment we're living through and besides that it's beautiful and funny and somehow genuinely hopeful
