What?! Why are we putting the greats against each other? Just wild

Remember folks preorder those books, shows the author some love and helps with sales and marketing

Yeah, that guy was totally pushing the sad puppy ballot for the Hugo's

He spent actual time writing this!

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Oh, they'll have so many instant fans if they're successful! Good luck to them!

The internet didn't used to be this way. For $50 a year, you can subscribe and remove the ads from this website. So dumb.

These dudes just keep proving why they should have been forced into more humanities courses.

I designed the cover for @billblume.bsky.social's newest book, To Hell and Back. It was fun trying out a completely new pen and ink illustration style

It's one of your books, so of course I will!

That's a good panel

That cover! The title. The whole vibe. I want to read it!

This is a fantastic idea!

Impressive! I'm the opposite. Need 50 random items tetris'd into a car! No problem. Finding the right-sized leftover container? I'm a mess. I envy your superpower

Thank you for doing this!

I'm a non-binary illustrator currently based in the US (though that's up in the air as my husband searches for a post-doc position).

I'm open to take on both commercial and private commissions right now.

Your work is beautiful! Good luck to your husband on his post doc search. May it take you both to a place of safety!

Totally true! It's like the free and open internet was, overall, a net positive

Whelp. I saw The Substance tonight and now I want to hurl. Thematically it knew exactly what it was doing. The social commentary was spot on. The body horror elements are some of the grossest scenes I've seen in years.

I'll be over here curled in a ball if anyone needs me.

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like

100% They are absolutely going to leave the wrong lessons from this and it's going to get worse for all of us

Yeah, I just found it on the Kindle store, too. It's currently #1 in a bunch of categories and #72 overall. Seems like a lot of people are picking it up

Watching the first season of Arcane with my kid. It's awesome. The animation is great!

Got to episode 5 and Imagine Dragons has a cameo as a bar band and it was so dumb. Just so, so dumb.

If this man goes to jail he's going to have so many people writing letters to propose marriage
