This is just a snapshot of my tastes this very moment and liable to change without warning, but this feels like a pretty representative sampling.
As bad as the air quality in Portland is today, it’s not a patch on the time in 2020 when the air was “Beyond Index” bad.
Barnes & Noble was having a half-off sale on select Blu-rays and I couldn’t pass up these classics.
I've been playing @hankgreen.bsky.social's SMUSH word game for the last week or so, but today was the first time I really felt like I hit my stride.
The spinner rack in my living room was due for a refresh, so I decided to pull out my favorite comic from one of the best cartoonists working today.
Sure, why not? I did the thing. kojira.github.io/bluesky-lice...
I am shocked, shocked I say, to find that I landed in exactly the same bucket when I took the Pew Political Typology quiz.
Do I tell him that cargo shorts are tragically unhip, or just that there’s no way this pair will fit him and hope he takes the hint?
We don't usually see each other's headers. Here's mine. Quote post with yours.

A new book by @annodracula.bsky.social is always a cause for celebration but I’ve been particularly looking forward to this one. That’s my evening’s entertainment sorted for the next little while.
I’ve already read in other formats two of the three things I brought home from the comic shop this week, but I needed to have these on the shelf. Those are some good comics, y’all.
The next book on my To Read shelf is going to have to stay on that shelf a while longer, as a new arrival has jumped to the front of the line.
It was about time to refresh the spinner rack in my living room, and seemed fitting to give one of my absolute favorite series from childhood a moment in the spotlight. RIP Gerry Conway.
When I was checking out the guy working the register said “Oooh, you got the GOOD pens.”
I responded to this yesterday after overthinking it WAY too long, and deleted it later when I decided I didn't like my answer. Many of my niche IP choices actually been revived recently (Thundarr the Barbarian anyone?) or claimed by friends earlier in the day. So here is my actual list: - Voyagers!
My new thing is to liberate comics in my collection from their short boxes for a while and give them a spin on the spinner rack in my living room, and I’m liking the look of this month’s choices.
I’m in the mood for some feature length anime tonight, and I think I’ve narrowed it down to one of these two options.
Since everyone is sharing original art that they own, here is one of my prized possessions, a spread by JH Williams and Mick Gray from Promethea.
A recent acquisition from Powell’s. I thought the high concept sounded interesting, but the format was the real selling point, intrigued by this pocket sized “Nomad edition.”
I was only at ECCC for a couple of days but still managed to return home with treasures.
Pour one out for the portable white noise machine I’ve been using every night since 2010, which sputtered a final death rattle a couple of days ago and then fell silent forever…
I ventured across the Willamette River in search of Thai food and books, and returned in triumph.
I had the same question last night, and found these listings in the end credits.
Here’s the cover of my son’s Eraser mini comic and a two-page gag featuring Killer Croc and some guy in a bat costume. (Done when Danny was 13yo.)
Lots of great new comics were waiting for me at the comic shop this week, hard to know which ones to read first.
