It’s a scalability thing. Reach one reader online and you’ve got one new reader. Reach one bookseller or librarian and you’ve got 50 new readers.
Too many comics creators ignore the retailers and don’t realize they are, in fact, who were selling to. If they don’t buy… the readers can’t even get at the books.

Diversity of thought stands as a threat in most cases! Love it! 🙂↕️
In general, people think you are both smarter and more likeable than you think they think.

At around age 23, the average person falls off what the researcher Jennifer Aaker calls ‘the humour cliff’: we start to laugh and smile less and less. The average 4-year-old laughs and smiles 300 times a day, the average 40-year-old — 300 times every 75 days.

Utah just updated their policies regarding books banned by the state in public schools. Students can now bring their own personal copies to school without getting in trouble.
Ridiculous it was previously not allowed; ridiculous this is happening at all.

Updated guidance on banned books in Utah schools: you own it, you can bring it
In January, the Utah State Board of Education said students could not bring banned books to campus — even their own copies. But after more legal review, the board is reversing course.

Clay updated their review database with the decisions for the nearly 50 objections filed last month.
Every single one of them was either restricted or removed.
These decisions were made without reading the books and without a public review committee.

My Librarian of Congress! What an absolute honor to meet Dr. Carla Hayden and tell her how much of a hero she is to myself and library loving people all over the world. What a relief to see her smiling and to witness her remarkable energy 💜

We are getting a 4th book! But I do appreciate that you had faith in me all the way to 91%! 😂🙌🏽
I was out of the loop. I’m 92% done with @tracydeonn.bsky.social ‘s Oathbound and I was like “Man, there’s a lot to address before I finish this journey” I was not aware we were getting a book 4. This also makes sense because I was like how are we gonna tackle all these points in like 4 chapters?
