Here's some of the people saying HELL NO #abpoli #PolluterPays www.podcastics.com/episode/3890...

YouTube video by TEDx Talks Using comics and storytelling to engage memory and bring fun back to learning | Alina Pete | TEDxRRU

Tansi ya'll!! I need your help.

My Ted Talk is finally live on YouTube, but I really need views & engagement so it can graduate from TedX to the official Ted site. That way it'll help more people discover comics and Indigenous Story Robes!!

The cover for Alberta Comics Love designed by Kat Simmers, next to old pictures of Alexander, Shea and Jillian. The mistakes by CBC Books are bad. But, it's still nice that they are writing about comic books.

The cover to Resilient is next to pictures of George and Vinz. They are wearing hats. The cover features a woman showing her butt and some side boob while wielding a shiny samurai sword. There's fire too, looks dangerous. Someone could get hurt.

CBC BOOKS selected 2 of our graphic novels in their Recommended Fall Comic Books list. Alberta Comics Love, & Resilient. See the list here bit.ly/41N3EDe

There's a couple mistakes, Love was edited by Alexander, Shea, Hartley & Emily.

Love cover designed by @katsimmers.bsky.social

In the 00's, a car company made this commercial that accidentally exposed how much space is wasted by car-centric road design.

What’s crazy: The most unrealistic part of this video is how it shows *too many people* — because the average car on the road has just 1.5 people in it.

If it's as good as DIE, I'm all in!

I’ll be there!

Love creators @sheaproulx.bsky.social Hollis Parrot, Samantha Lucy Haslam, @alexanderfinbow.bsky.social @geeknerdnet.bsky.social as they discuss comics, ideas & story techniques.

More comic creators will be there too, a great opportunity to get your copy signed.

The poster says book launch. Featuring the presenters at Shelf Life Books on September 11th at 7pm, and the artwork by Kat Simmers.

That’s great, thank you. And a sensible strategy for social media itself.

We peeked some dreamy and breezy reading spots where Canadian authors love to read. Patios, library corners, balconies aplenty! Plus: a look at some of the books keeping them company.

This is the correct time for a burrito

Thank you for reviewing!

Well deserved!

It’s my colleague!

Is he part of the club yet? He promised to be a dictator on day one. He’s sure acting like one. #uspolitics #worldpolitics #trump #dictator #fascism

That'll be this gorgeous cover from @jarrethartnell.bsky.social !

read trump's new executive order on domestic military dplymt + vigilante "portal." one of the reasons i am happy to be an independent journalist is so I can say that this is crazy, fascist, brownshirts shit without getting pulled into a meeting with PR for "opening us up to criticism from the right"
