Here's the thing: most books that are banned don't make the lists that get circulated each #BannedBooksWeek. If you're a book creator and your book gets banned, please respond to this post with your book and its buy link on bookshop.org. That way we can support indies and banned books 💛

Nothing like checking on a director whose work you like but haven't heard from in a while to see what they might be working on... And it turns out it's gAI slop short films 🙃

It's my birthdaaaaay!🎊 As an artist, it's often difficult to acknowledge how much I work and how much I improve, so today I want to be nicer to myself and share some of my favourite pieces I made since my last bday.💙 If you'd like to share, it would be a lovely gift!🙏✨

Heads up, Bookworms: There will likely be💀supply chain issues💀 this holiday season. So if there are specific books you have your heart set on for holiday gifting, I strongly suggest you buy/order them ahead of time (✨like now✨) rather than waiting until November/December.

I got the chance to read this early and it's such a great first issue! We get to follow classic DnD characters, and I'm so looking forward to seeing how the dynamics between them change and evolve. There's so much banter! It was such a fun read, and the art team is also doing a fantastic job!!

Ferris Wheel Press (a stationary company) is doing a Harry Potter collab in this day and age, and continuously deleting any comments against it on Instagram 🙄 I've always wanted one of their fountain pens and ink bottles, but not anymore! Such a disappointment.

I've been feeling like getting back into some tabletop card games, but I keep loosing in MtGA, so I might go back to Hearthstone? 🤔 Does anyone have other suggestions? (I'm very excited for the digital version of Lorcana, but that one might still take a while!)

I've been hesitant to buy this because of EA, as much as I love Star Wars. But does anyone know if buying it would help at all with a situation like this?

the lessons we need to take are clear. Dolly said "find out who you are and do it on purpose", and Tim Curry's line is "don't dream it, be it" they would both be disappointed if we wrote that off as corny. so what? it's necessary. we have everything to lose if we are dishonest to ourselves.

Cover reveal days are such fun, huge days for authors. But you know who they can also be huge for? The illustrators. Don’t forget to credit them. Cover reveals always blow up outside of an author’s bubble, and someone who sees it could be that artist’s next gig. ❤️

I don’t care how respected you are as a person, science educator, author, artist, etc. If I find out that you are using generative AI in any aspect of your work, you lose all of my respect.

When I'm looking for artists to hire for comics work, I need to see sequentials, but so few artists post their pages. I know it doesn't get the engagement on socials, but having a link to a portfolio site with pages is so useful (to me).
