I abandoned Twitter and now it doesn't believe I'm a human 😔 I'VE BEEN BUSYYY. Here is what I've been up to: I was a judge for the Minicomic Awards. I hosted a Pride Month screening of Hitchcock's Rope. Everybody said, "Rope is gay?" and I infodumped about how Rope is gay

I have seen a ton of obviously used consumer electronics in Iraq. But my favorite electronics story is the day I realized I couldn't plug a card reader into myipad, and I needed to upload some audio. A lightning to SD card device does exist, so I goggled for apple retailers

Can’t beat this as an author bio

When our building was closed in 2020, we had to lay out our long program tables to cover end to end in the extra in-building stock lol. When you borrow from the library, you make room for staff to shelve. 😌

[ShortBox @Short_Box]

There's a glut of reasons ShortBox is closing, but it's not due to a lack of readership. The reason we've been able to exist is due to the fantastic -and still growing- support of our readership. The audience for complex, weird, intelligent, visually interesting comics is there

@prioryruins !!!

(FYI the book is backordered at the publisher, but last I checked, Baker & Taylor still had it in stock for libraries to order.)

My copy of COOK LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS by @mariahrosemarie finally came in! 🎉 I already cook without measurements or detailed recipes (just vibes~), but I never learned from an elder in my life, so this is filling a lot of gaps. Accessible for beginners but useful for all levels.

[Aydin Kwan @heyakwan]

Excited for this!!!
