Hi BlueSky! I'm a librarian in NC who's been doing comics/graphics programming and collection development for over a decade.

Here to follow authors/artists, post about my praxis, and babble about books and programming.

We'll see how long I manage to stay active 🤣
Ugh voicemail from the principal of my kid's school saying without saying that you won't get in trouble if you keep your kid at home until the raids end 😩

I do not like this timeline.

Oh good gracious such a good book club tonight 😭

12 people, nearly half of them new, including a couple solid standbys and a few good friends.

Really enjoying @escherbug.art's Observational Drawing class at my library tonight!

Escher is a super patient instructor and I'm shocked at how I don't hate everything I've put on paper

Hey @escherbug.art !

We got pencils! (and if an order goes through quick enough these might be upgraded to nicer charcoal options)

Oh, hey.

Happy Pride folks 🌈💜

It is not hard to wear a mask in public for the people you love.

And bonus: it will protect you as well 💜

I hope this number changes, but for now?

... nice.

My library will buy it.

My library will buy it five times.
I've been waiting so long to talk about this, and I finally got the go-ahead! GALAXY: THE PRETTIEST STAR is getting a sequel, GALAXY: AS THE WORLD FALLS DOWN! The adventures of teen Galaxy continue, by me and the spectacular @ryehickman.bsky.social!

I just… I'm so fucking tired.
“I am glad to be working with Meta once again,” [Anduril founder Palmer] Luckey said in a statement. “My mission has long been to turn warfighters into technomancers, and the products we are building with Meta do just that.”

I know it doesn't stop them from being exhausting but please know the reason there's a relentless stream of thinkpieces from centrists or right-leaning dems going DITCH THE TRANSES is because the public opinion as a whole is "just leave them alone, jesus" and they fucking hate that

Deeply amused to catch a follow from @stevehorton.bsky.social a day after I draft a book list (and make some marketing material) featuring his work 😅🤣

Okay, it's halfway through day 2 and the Kickstarter for "Aces and Aros: An Asexual and Aromantic Comics Anthology" has slowed down a bit.
However, we're currently over $21,000 with 475 backers and I know we can get these last $9000!
Can you help us?

I'm going to back this both because it sounds really good and because I want my library to be able to buy 2-5 copies 😤
While I have a minute, I wanted to talk about how I got involved in editing an anthology. Editing isn't usually my gig, but it's actually very personal, so maybe buckle in? If you just want to TLDR, here's the link, support Ace stories and creators!
DO IT!
