It's a promotion for a course about comics. It's illustrated with a picture from Krazy Kat. The text reads: The social and material lives of Comic Art, or How comics get around! July 28-Aug 1, 2025 (right after San Diego Comic-Con) A California Rare Book School course taught in person at UCLA. Instructor: Charles Hatfield, PhD Tuition: $1200.00 (ask about scholarships) How comics are made, and move through the world. Their improbable and troubled history. How to access comics in archives. How to teach with them. How to change the world with them.

One of my cool friends is teaching this course.
Please spread the word - it's going to be amazing!

I wish I could go myself, but alas. No trip to CAL for me.

Good grief, why are people so reluctant to use the word “my”? “My sister’s and I’s room”? *shudder* Nothing wrong with “my sister’s and my”.

I appreciate the mention, Christina!

FWIW: I genuinely & firmly believe that Palestine is one of very few instances where Posting About It actually makes a material difference (because of Palestine Exception bullshit, ironclad media silencing of Palestinian voices, & the COST of speaking up), so if you haven't? Maybe consider it?

We've written a Researcher's Guide to Bluesky!

It's a bit like all those other useful guides to Bluesky, but with several useful insights from University of York academics about using the platform, and we'd love it if it was reposted far and wide...
