You know I’m something of a Sadie Sink myself

City Council, we demand half a percent of the overall city budget for libraries! In response to the NYC FY2026 Budget, adopted this June, the Brooklyn Public Library, the New York Public Library, and the Queens Public Library released a joint statement thanking City Leaders for in...

If you live in NYC, please take a moment [it takes 30 seconds] to support @nycplan.org's demand to increase and stabilize public library funding by sending a letter to your council member: actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

New organization "Broadway Voices for Palestine," announces that tomorrow, they will be performing a virtual reading of plays written by Palestinian children.

Proceeds will go to The Hands Up Project charity.

Allie Trimm, who plays Glinda in Wicked on Broadway, explains more:

Damn literally one of my favorite parts of his design was the semi-bloated stomach. It made him look like diseased corpse that died of some kind of mix of starvation and leprosy. Now he just looks like red Skeletor

Just a heads up with all the Christmas markets and fairs on at the moment - if you see art or art-based pieces for sale, ask who the artist is, because the amount of people deceptively slapping "made locally" on pieces locally farted out by their computer and a genAI prompt is getting depressing

Years from now archaeologists are going to conclude there was some sort of lost Wicked civilization that rose and fell in quick succession

the hardest part of writing politically charged fiction is that a good villain needs to be complex, cool and about as right as the protagonist; while evil people in real life are lame, cruel, childish morons motivated by greed or not wanting to look at minorities

Confirmed: Earlier this morning a photog overheard agents inside the parking garage say “dismissed,” believed to be calling off their planned mass raid.

A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.

They knew what they were doing when Ethan gets his hand sliced off and then carries it around until he can get a moment to pour some health juice on his stump to reattach it. That went straight into Looney Tunes

That is the most gangsta answer to this question I have heard so far 😂😂😂🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

A note to myself taped to my drawing monitor that reads “save every five minutes”

Stop looking at this and save.

I just lost an hour and a half of work because I was cruising along and ignored my own warning/advice:

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

The Mighty Nein? Well, despite the fact that their most recent episode was literally about failing to rescue a kidnapping victim, I feel good. Praise the Traveler!

Suggestion for new piece of public library information desk equipment: a big red button like the Staples button, except instead of THAT WAS EASY it says THAT WAS RACIST.

To be pushed when patrons say racist things to or about staff.

Which happens a lot.

Inteoduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve seen

1. Chappell Roan

I was gonna watch that but I had to beat an old lady with a stick to get it

Honmoon sealed

Yeah not like Mitch McConnell refused to impeach him, Biden’s DOJ refused to prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law, and the Supreme Court declared that the president can commit crime scott free

Nope. It was DSA

Charli xcx has discounted her merch ahead of Black Friday.

A portion of the proceeds will go towards the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund.

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store.

Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

On this day, Indigenous people and allies confront the settler-colonial narratives of “Thanksgiving,” observing it instead as a National Day of Mourning.

These things don’t exist in the abstract, and non-Black folks like me can’t avert our eyes. It’s happening all around us

Two years ago a coworker of mine was out of work for months from a stroke. Black; below average frame and weight as far as I can tell; raising kids with their mom; can’t be older than 45. Out of the fucking blue. These health disparities are at the celebrity-level; just grow exponential further down

The Pirate Nun A Novice of the church with a secret desire and a wanted Conspirator with a violent past are thrown together by fate. When their paths collide, they ignite a world made of tinder, and are forced to re...

Always a blast meeting with @doingartiguess.bsky.social and thinking big, gross and bloody on comics. In the meantime, you should check out The Pirate Nun on Webtoon if you’re unfamiliar with their sublime artwork and storytelling www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/th...

Bought a bunch of zines from a cool seeming publisher a few days ago and now I find them on instagram making AI ads. What the fuck? Zine makers cool with AI? If zines are the punk rock of comics, this is the Pepsi-sponsored Warped Tour

Nick Garber is reporting that Julie Menin - the only anti-Mamdani speaker candidate - currently has 36 pledged supporters.

If your council member is on the list of supporters, I encourage you to call them immediately and tell them to support Crystal Hudson or Amanda Farias.

Oooh we need to chat about something I’m sketching out right now

Take the gun, leave the cannoli, Charlie Brown

Every dinosaur "documentary" ever made is narrated exactly like this:

DAVID ATTENBOROUGH: The allosaurus closes in, three tons of razor-sharp teeth and killer muscle, but the biglongasaurus has a secret weapon...

ATTENBOROUGH: Its bigness.

That’s pretty big

Not to mention long

I've been really tryin', baby
Tryin' to hold back this feeling for so long
And if you feel like I feel, baby
Then, c'mon, oh, c'mon, whoa
