I wrote a piece for @publisherswkly.bsky.social about how comics retailers have turned into influencers and YouTubers to promote comics, their shops and community

Lavender hour!
All 3 still making vibrant music all these years later, such stunning careers. Some music blog should do a current version of this piece talking to these 3 now, be interesting to see what they think of the industry & the women musicians who came along through the doors they opened

happy pub day to my incredibly talented wife @jazmineulloa.bsky.social, with her BRILLIANT new book about her hometown of El Paso, Texas, which she was inspired to write after she covered the deadly 2019 mass shooting carried out there by a white supremacist who opened fire at a wal-mart, killing 23

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
