One of my favorite pieces of Wonder Woman art by Rahzzah. It became the variant cover for WW #799.

Nice to see this in the Times today. The auction closes Sunday, so there's still time for you to bid on the first line of a favourite book, written by the author! (Link below) www.jumblebee.co.uk/thefirstline www.thetimes.com/article/fdb6...
Authors put pen to paper amid demise of handwriting
Bestselling British authors, like Philip Pullman and Julia Donaldson, hand-write the opening to their most famous books to encourage people to value handwriting

people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.

Dear @gailsimone.bsky.social; as someone who's been called a demon and beaten by my paternal gramma and aunts for being a demonic little sinner, (undiagnosed autistic and still closeted trans child), I dearly and sincerely thank you for this.

100% my take on writing. Never, ever think I’m trying to sell you on it as a career. It’s absolutely legit to write for your enjoyment and never even share it. You are no less a writer for doing so. If you write, you are a writer. Full stop.
Reminder: you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it, you don’t have to get better at it, you don’t have to monetize it, and it doesn’t have to be useful.

I'm a bit hesitant to dive into yet another social media site; they're all such time stealers. So I might not be super active here; mainly I just wanted to nab the username for now.
