David Kane

Cmon now guys. If any Dem says anything besides shut down until this is all gone then there's no need for federal government at all. These are concentration camps. If you're too scared to say so then you're part of the problem.

I forgot to tag @weirdpunkbooks.bsky.social too! Go buy their books and support fresh indie Weird Horror!

Sporadically speaking Spanish around/to my husband then having to stop and tell him “do NOT say that to strangers” bc I was not raised right

(The rule of thumb is: if he heard me say it, he cannot repeat any part that sounds like pinche, chinga(da), or verga, also say “manches” instead of “mames”)

A comic in black/white/blue. Lucy rolls her bike through an alley, by a crew building a fence. Narration: My neighbors hired a crew to rebuild their fence. Crew member: "Do you need us to move our stuff out of the way?" Lucy: "Oh! No, you're all good, thanks!" Lucy: "Have a good one!" Crew member: "You, too!"

Narration: I was teaching when my phone started lighting up with alerts from the rapid response network and neighbor chat. Lucy's back is to us as she shows a group of enthusiastic children something on a notebook. Behind her, her phone in her bag is buzzing. Narration: By the time the lesson was over, they were already gone. Lucy is reading messages on her phone. Messages: Alert: black SUV Sighting: be on alert for... Confirmed abductionL alley between ----- and ----. SUV plates... We tried to get them inside, but it was too... ...Contacting an I.R. lawyer. Heading to Broadview later today.

Lucy is riding her bike home. Narration: On the ride home, I kept thinking "If I'd been there, could I have warned them? Would my ICIRR* training have helped?" *Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Get trained and know your rights at ICIRR.org. Narration: I'd taken the training after Halloween, when the violent ICE raids had locked down our schools and driven our neighbors indoors. (Image of a halloween bucket in the shape of a jack-o-lantern) Narration: Halloween is fun here-- The community filling the streets and opening our doors to one another. But this year's was tense, frightened and subdued. Haunted.

Lucy is standing in the alley, staring at the newly built fence. Narration: When I got home, it was all done. The other two guys who had gotten inside in time stayed and finished the build. The new fence is superimposed with the brief exchange from earlier in the comic ("Have a good one" You, too") Narration: I see it every day and think about how those guys built this in the spot where strangers in masks took their friend. Narration: How many other places in our communities are similarly haunted? (Drawings of sidewalks, buildings, streets and windows)

Color drawing of Godzilla fucking up ICE. There is a separate panel up top of Melissa praying as such: "DEAR GOD... ZILLA, PLEASE FUCK UP ICE!" Word balloon next to Z says "YOU GOT IT MELISS."

Frankly I think almost every writer I know and beta read for and cheer on deserves a deep dive like this one David gave my work. What an absolute fucking beautiful gift.

Also, I'm making a separate post bc my last one got spammed so I'm trying to be smart about this:

If you are an indie author whose books are NOT available for purchase on Amazon, pls let me know! I'm compiling a list to send to readers boycotting Amazon so they know who to support

Loved seeing the redraws of this & immediately wanted to participate, it's such a fun design! Happy late birthday! <:

We Are Close, We Are Almost There | Los Angeles Review of Books Zachary Gillan reflects on Jeffrey Ford’s ‘Well-Built City Trilogy’ in the era of resurgent fascism.

Up now at @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social, I wrote about one of my favorite trilogies, Jeffrey Ford’s The Well-Built City, and what it has to say about living in a society in thrall, the fascist mindset, and the daily work of staying alive.

Wrote about my favorite music genre right now.

Horses Is Tame Horses, the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form.

“Art that is deemed a liability to business must be avoided without question. Gaming is often many things, but its status as gambling and toys take higher precedent than its ambition as an art form.”
