That's crazy
PORTLAND: Go see James Tynion & Jordie Bellaire at Books With Pictures, tonight at 7PM! BOOKSWITHPICTURES.COM/CORPSE-TOUR @jamesthefourth.bsky.social @bkswpicspdx.bsky.social #pdxcomics
Playing pinball which i never did too too much of & reflecting that as a kid i somehow really thought you had to hit both flipper buttons in unison.
Batman 66 commission by the amazing @ibrahimmoustafa.bsky.social. #artlife #comics #batmanday
the part of me that still sincerely believes human beings are capable of equitable governance always gets a little verklempt by stories where a jury of regular people holds the line against fascism. braver than all of Congress tbh
The Beatles, Rod Stewart, possibly some Elton. Oh or maybe something trippy, ocean sounds or rain or whales singing. (I don't recall having a tape player in a car until college, though.)
Security footage proves it wasn't written by a Starbucks worker, but by "someone else." Gee, perhaps a creep troll looking to score a viral X post? Nothing is real. Believe nothing they claim. Question everything.
In the last week I’ve seen tv segments with Ted Wheeler treated as an expert on crisis de-escalation, the police union president opposing local efforts at stopping ICW, Christine Drazan defending ICE, and a puff piece on Zenith. Anyone who actually relies on this for news is being driven insane.
Hey Portland, have you heard about this great new invention in cars where you can use switches and lights to SIGNAL a TURN? Neat, what'll they call it. You should use it.
Somebody Somewhere is chaotic, sweet, and fun so far, I am sad I slept on it this long. There are these bittersweet little moments that just shine so brightly and might even make you cry a little.
Colbert: Have they not read the book, if you give a mouse a Kimmel?
We're all in this together *Wink*
Okay folks, Keezy is an AMAZING artist. You know what to do. Here is her ko-fi: ko-fi.com/keezyyoung

Mark Ruffalo
LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.
Writer of the How Teachers Stop Fascism (forget the name) is talking now.
Great points that trying to take over DC is our nation's capital, and it's also a step toward trying to interfere in an election again.
Mrs. Comic Cave is listening to the Indivisible call and it sounds like they're hinting someone cool might show up at the end, possibly Kimmel himself, I think. I suspect it's a mistake to make an enemy out of him. Oct 18th is the next No Kings Day.

@thefixinto.bsky.social in St Johns has a JAWS pinball machine! It's really deluxe with movie clips etc. The person with the high score is ASS (def not me). I will be doing a Comic Cave popup on Saturday starting around when they open at 1 :). It's Batman Day too and it's also Elvira's birthday!
By Wednesday morning’s drop off, volunteer parents, caregivers and community members stationed themselves around the school, there to bear witness to any potential sign of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
I read a comic today!
Mayor Keith Wilson issues a warning about ICE using city space to hold folks for longer than the allowable time. So many opportunities to hold the line, but I guess it's good that he's doing in on this one point at the very least. And better late than never.
Brian Kilmeade: All homeless people need to be euthanized. Ok ✅ Jimmy Kimmel: The shooter was MAGA Not ok ✅
"Multiple execs felt that Kimmel had not actually said anything over the line, the two sources say, but the threat of Trump administration retaliation loomed." They will never learn that capitulation doesn't work. Never
Hey all! I'd like to thank the world's media institutions, and of course the Bluesky mods, for being totally normal and proportional about a barely famous trans woman cracking wise about a Nazi's death.
BREAKING: A court ruled that ICE can no longer detain immigrants in abusive conditions at 26 Federal Plaza while our case continues. This ruling requires ICE to provide people detained at the facility access to hygiene products, sleeping mats, and free, confidential calls to their lawyers.
Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"
FOX news host suggests we euthanize the homeless, someone goes into two encampments and starts shooting. 13 people shot and Jacob Frey and the media are just talking about it as the new best reason to clear the encampments
Join me in condemning this kind of statement and this kind of hate.
What To Do If You Spot ICE In Your Community
This is verified, I'm hearing it from loved ones in the district & also plugged in w/migrant issues. We're a sanctuary city & state, we don't need masked & warrantless folks trying to make a quota scooping up our neighbors.
A friend of mine co-owns this bookstore. This is not great. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/d...
Kroger will lay off ~1,000 employees. In December, it announced $7.5B in stock buybacks – which juice stock prices, enriching shareholders and boosting CEO pay. Just so happens that Kroger's last CEO was paid 457x its typical employee in 2024. Textbook corporate greed.
Dang
Words to live by
Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.
Hanging this in my dining room like “live laugh love”
I live by this, maybe your person is just flaky not a hater but that's what it makes me think of.
what would mister rogers do? get enraged seriously. his word choice. he gave us permission, said it's healthy:
Caught up on PEACEMAKER. I don't think it's a spoiler to say it's pretty deep into a multiverse plot, and I'm OK with that even though I sometimes suffer from multiverse fatigue. Holy crap, it's great to see Tim Meadows in the midst of these characters kinda being a Tim Meadows character.
wolverine warm up
Update; remember when I said the clown who emailed death threats to Elizabeth Spiers at top of thread was doing it on his primary email address? Welp that address was also connected to his LinkedIn profile. He’s a solutions architect at Meta in Florida.
Looks like he apologized finally, I don't care, they're really just saying the quiet part out loud these days. bsky.app/profile/thet...
It's Walter Koenig's birthday & he's still with us (only 3 of them left!) so I'm gonna reshare my story of the time in high school I was half-blocking his path up to the stage sitting on the floor with a bunch of comics splayed out, and he wasn't mad, he just kinda chin-nodded at me.
Happy Birthday, Walter Koenig.
Another quick note about this in the form of an add-on: If you can afford it, rent a PO Box. In many cases you can use it as your address for website reg, newsletter stuff, etc. I also find it helpful as someone with a distinct Arabic name who buys on eBay sometimes- u never know who the seller is.
Get your COVID shots, y'all! A great thing to do TODAY if you have a minute.
The galling thing about ALL THREE ghouls in that Fox News clip, is they're decrying the situation of homelessness but it was stuff like Republicans cutting mental health care that made this situation snowball for now, 2-3 decades. & the old trope that people want to be homeless. Greatest hits time.
Gonna write some brief troll mitigation tips for you all because like any successful, happy woman on the internet, i’ve had ‘em Tips break down into two main areas: 1. Defensive tactics: how not to make it easy for them 2. Offensive tactics: fuck ‘em up 🧵:
Fox News host, Brian Kilmeade, calls for the extermination of homeless people. But it’s the liberals that are stoking political violence?! They’re trying to silence the truth-tellers. Don’t let them. Loudly and relentlessly call out their hypocrisy. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.
To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.
Any news organization with a shred of decency would fire Brian Kilmeade immediately. There is no gray area about this.
man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger
www.opb.org/article/2025...
Portland’s Sunday Parkways open streets program was inspired by similar events in Latin America. But the program is much more limited than the initiatives it was modeled after. @taylorgriggs.bsky.social argues that’s a shame, considering its potential to shift the paradigm.
As someone who studies news media, I am so disheartened by how badly mainstream journalists have covered the Kirk murder. Rather than waiting for facts, they let Trump control the narrative, giving their platforms to him to make false, defamatory allegations towards his political opponents. Shocking
Billy Joel could write a whole-ass song about just this week.
"As soon as you hire me, you're going to get between five and a hundred of the craziest people you've ever met in your life, screaming for my head and yours." --Gretchen Felker-Martin A prose writer telling a COMICS editor this tickled me so much. Baby, they know crazy. www.tcj.com/horror-it-gi...
There’s a tactic I’ve seen both conservatives and abusers use which is saying easily disprovable information. I think the purposes are two major things: 1. Bait people into engagement with them (abusers trying to keep contact, conservative grifters trying to build their platform)
It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.
His death was a tragedy because he never had the chance to turn away from the hate speech and bigotry driving his career, and given his young age, such a thing could have been likely. Pundits pivot all the time.

While promoting Cheetah & Cheshire Rob the Justice League, Greg Rucka looks back on his rocky history with the publisher.

Any violence should be hung on Trump like a lanyard & anyone who thinks otherwise is posturing or dumb. Anyway, I don't know much about that guy but I'm sorry for his loved ones and I hope there's a lesson here. I've always believed in smart gun control & folks like this do talk down at ya about it.
Lord, please don't let me die ironically.

Good point. I see that there were 8 charges the DA brought that the judge threw out, maybe that's the substance of this.
Gift link. Interesting. I support holding him accountable, but I wish they explained more: Why is the DA's office mad? Did they ask for a stiffer sentence and get denied? Was there something wrong with their case? I admit to not being a fan of theirs right now. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...
Mrs. Comic Cave teaches at this school. Sounds like we think maybe people (love the bird-watching guy calling them "idiots"!) scared the swifts off by starting up drone activity around the flock last year. Something to think about prohibiting.

Other popup events planned as I *pivot pivot pivot* into the fall are: * Tabling at Frankenstein Comic Swap at Lloyd Center on Saturday October 18th * Tabling at Cap City Comic Swap at the Salem Convention Center on Saturday November 8th. Come see me & say hi & maybe buy something cool :)
Time TBD but I imagine I'lll start when they open at 1 (kids are allowed until 5), and then into the evening, like 6ish or 7ish.
Batman Deadpool comes out that week and I'll have (a few!) copies available for sale (a few were pre-ordered as well). It's fitting, because in Detective #1000 we saw Batman mourning his parents under what sure looks like the iconic St. Johns Bridge!
Excited to announce a Comic Cave popup at @thefixinto.bsky.social , St. Johns newest 'barcade' on Saturday September 20th! That also happens to be Batman Day and I have lots of good Batman stuff in stock & have restocked Year One, Last Knight on Earth, etc. Will have kid activity pages/door prizes.

Ok breathe
Saw LOST BOYS @hollywoodtheatre.org (congrats on COFFIN MOON @keithrosson.bsky.social !!! Buy it!) & everyone laughed & cheered at the usual stuff - shirtless sax guy, etc. I laughed LOUDly when every time they went into the comic shop the owners were in the back asleep LOL.
I friended you on the Linked In, you never know! Lots of folks use it across all kinds of industries.
It's been five months since I was laid off, and I'm still hunting for work. I'd still like to stay in policy and/or advocacy; but at this point, I'm open to pretty much anything.
wow people love star trek!
I really like the curl in my hair at this exact moment in time.
Only the best people. Consistently a lie. Every time.
Oooh, 9 a.m.
Maybe take Max out to the Zoo? Looks like it opens at 9:30
Happy birthday!
This back to school season, more districts than ever have cell phone bans in place. Teachers and legislators alike say the restrictions help kids focus in class.
Just a reminder, if you’re champing at the bit waiting for the premiere episode of the STAR TREK: KHAN audio drama to drop, the podcast feed for the series IS LIVE, so you can subscribe to it now and receive episodes as soon as they are released. So subscribe to the Star Trek: Khan podcast now!
I think the reason rock is dying as a genre is that the singers are always too bossy. They're always telling you to Dance the Night Away or Do the Loco-motion or Pour Some Sugar on Them. SO BOSSY.
Give a follow for great pop culture & life content!

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/
