Chris Davis of the Uptown Davises @thepeskyfly.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I bought some comics at a very literary estate sale. There were only a handful amid so many highbrow volumes, and I grabbed them all without looking. When I got home I realized I had Conan #23 and #24, which introduce the character Red Sonja.

A promising young man, a high school honors grad who joined JROTC and dreamed of becoming a doctor, killed himself because of the Trump admin’s obsession with hurting Haitians and the humiliating shame of an ICE ankle monitor.

Chris Davis of the Uptown Davises @thepeskyfly.bsky.social · 30/08/2026You know what’s a really good record? Afroharping by Dorothy Ashby.

I think her best known record is The Rubaiyat of Dorothy Ashby — and it’s great!— but Afroharping is just the best thing for a late summer night. 010
