Promotional graphic featuring the Bite Sized, a comic by IsThisEva. The price of $5 is written inside a blood-drop shape. There are arrows arranged around the cover with a list of tropes, as follows: hurt/comfort, enemies to allies to lovers, NBi/m romance & established NBi/f pairing, banter, vampire vs. hunter, arguing and swordpoint, “what if I make it your problem?”

I've seen all sorts of instructions for how to turn off copilot on windows 11, but as an fyi, you can go into "add and remove programs" and just uninstall it. surprisingly, they let you do that. Does that remove every stupid ai thing? No idea, but in theory copilot is gone

I'm on the hunt for artists/illustrators that specialise in landscapes and scenery, or who love drawing nature! 🌷🏞️🌳

I'd especially love to hear from BIPOC artists, but this is an open call! Self promo welcome, please comment with examples/portfolio links if possible ☺️

This week—learning that my book was banned & confronting state-imposed censorship of concepts like “diversity” and “oppression”—have been discouraging. I got a new book coming & don’t know what the future brings. BUT. The more The Powers That Be try to silence me, the louder I’ll become.

New from my distributor I foolishly read on this, my supposed week off.

@ironcircuscomics.bsky.social does a lot of library business. I'm dreading that January statement.

Gang, if you have ever wanted an Iron Circus title, now would be a wonderful time for you to grab one. 💀

Dear Publisher - We recently shared the news that Baker & Taylor was shutting down operations. When we learned they were financially unstable, Ingram took many steps to reduce credit exposure and stock levels, while continuing availability of books to library customers. Those steps were highly successful and the credit balance to the account was brought down significantly over time. At the time they shut down operations, their remaining stock on hand was minimal. Unfortunately, we have received notice that they will not pay the outstanding amounts they do owe and no further stock will be returned. Ingram is taking on the first $100,000, but the debt owed exceeds that amount. As a result, a chargeback for your pro rata share will be on your December statement (available the first week of January), per the terms of your contract.

My heart will always have a place that remembers Corey and the beautiful gentle influence they always had on the world of trans fiction. I worked on this book as Corey's editor and still feel intense emotions just remembering it.

I miss you, Corey.

Barbara Cameron was a Hunkpapa Lakota artist and pillar of the San Francisco community who advocated for lesbian and Two-Spirit people, people with HIV/AIDS, and women impacted by violence.

In 1975, she co-founded Gay American Indians, the first association for gay Native Americans in the U.S.
Brown graphic with a yellow-tinted photo of Barbara Cameron outside leaning on a guardrail. Yellow text reads: "It's important for us as Indian People, as we reclaim and revitalize our languages and traditions, to include the heritage and contributions of Indian lesbians and gay men." The quote is attributed to Barbara Cameron, two-spirit activist for Indigenous and queer rights, for Native American Heritage Month

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

The road was rough on my copy of Black and Bloody (spine's a little banged up, no biggie) but look how cool! Can't wait to see what @blackindiecomix.bsky.social does next. The @phantanoir.bsky.social sticker is heckin' sick too 🖤
[Image: photo of the anthology BLACK & BLOODY from Black Indie Comic Club. The cover shows a Black person with stylized red eyes. blood runs from their mouth and coats the tip of one fang; their tongue is stuck out and curled up. On the book is a holographic sticker of a Black vampire lady crawling toward the viewer.]
