@Babsfavorite Yikes, 80s to 2000s comics aesthetic—“thanks” Michael Turner 👎🏻

Sometimes you’re hit with a harsh reminder that the comic you’re reading is, in fact, from the 90s

@DevEthos Yes!! The Chatham First Baptist Church (where John Brown met Canadians who joined his fight) and the Dawn Settlement in Dresden, Ontario where Josiah Henson settled are incredible sights!

Highly recommend you guys check out the Wright Museum and there are multiple churches downtown that were part of the underground railroad that still have their passages available for tours. Windsor Canada I believe even has some stuff on their side as well. You can still feel the perseverance.

ICE out of Canada and no Canadian support for ICE. Sign Canadian MP Heather McPherson's petition to ban funding to Canadian companies working with ICE, ban goods destined to ICE and revoke permission for ICE in Canada. I signed. @HMcPhersonNDP ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/P…

And now we’re at the journalists arrested for reporting the news stage

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security is deeply concerned by a dangerous and accelerating pattern within the United States government in which rhetoric and symbolism associated with Nazi ideology and white supremacist extremism is increasingly given political legitimacy. Entire government agencies, especially the Department of Homeland Security, as well as senior officials and other influential actors now regularly tolerate and even echo language and imagery historically rooted in Nazism and genocidal movements, eroding democratic norms and cultivating an environment that actively drives extremist mobilization and politically driven violence. The Lemkin Institute recognizes that the Trump Administration is unlikely to engage in any actions that would begin to limit and contain the growing power and violence of extremist groups because the Administration is, apparently, in the hands of people sympathetic to those groups. We remind President Trump, his advisors, and the foot soldiers of genocide in ICE and CBP that totalitarian supremacist projects never end well for the perpetrators. We call upon U.S. government officials and U.S. political representatives who do not wish to be complicit in fascism and genocide to take immediate measures to identify, address and dismantle Nazi and white supremacist ideology within the U.S. government, with the long-term goal of transforming the nation towards a more just, positive, and sustainable social order. We salute the Americans who are courageously showing up to protest the rapid radicalization of the U.S. state towards totalitarianism and genocide. All protest in the U.S. today is also genocide prevention work. Humanity will one day recognize the value and the heroism of people standing up and risking their lives every day.

@RodKahx Dude, no. Canadians in the past (Underground Railroad, assisting John Brown, protecting Vietnam draft dodgers) helped Americans in need. This is not the way.

I've truly lost any empathy as a Canadian to my US friends. Sorry, and I didn't vote for him doesn't cut it any more. We are through with you. You're part of the reason we are angry right now. You are citizens of the US and are accountable. You don't get off easy any more.

If the identities of your police are allowed to be secret then you have secret police

Greg Rucka & Kate together again 😍

@CAComixPod Yup, we discuss this in one of my courses on deconstructing the superhero, and we do it when we examine Gene Luen Yang’s “Superman Smashes the Klan” (a comic adaptation of the 1947 radio show “Superman v the Clan of the Fiery Cross)

"Is Superman white?" is actually a great way to invite conversations about how race is a social construct rather than a biological reality because no he's fucking not and also yes he fucking is.

This is an INCREDIBLE investigative story, reported in the form of a graphic novel. Arrested by phone - a true story. A must read bloomberg.com/graphics/2025-…

@imbethmccoll Insane asf that “if your image looks good, I’ll think you’re lying” when photography has been upheld for so long as a bastion of truth-telling (and my heart hurts for photogs trying to make a living). We can’t hate it enough!

even the last holdouts will be falling for this. i will be falling for this. it is done. images over. if your image looks good i will think you’re lying. shit world made of nonsense

Look at these beautiful stamps issued by Canada Post yesterday celebrating Canadian comic creators: Kate Beaton, Jimmy Beaulieu, Guy Delisle, Julie Doucet, Bryan Lee O’Malley & Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas !!

@juliet_turner6 LMAO the cope is real; working on my PhD & have 2 kids—because women are amazing (also, women shouldn’t ever have to justify not having kids!!!)

Thanks Stefan! & thanks to everyone else so eagerly discussing the health of my eggs. Citizen science is alive and well! 🪺 I have a microscope & a DPhil in biology. If you provide a sperm sample, I’m happy to let you know how many defective little swimmers you are producing.😊

Love this celebration of educated women! Graduated with my masters on the sci-fi comic series “Bitch Planet” (are we living there now?) in 2022 after having my second baby, and am now working on my PhD

@DrAllyLouks Can’t wait to get my PhD (in comics!! 🤗) and get this reaction!

I should start a support group where we just eat snacks, read hate comments and giggle at them

@THEHORRORGOTH Or that the young actress won over Demi Moore, legitimately acting out what happens in The Substance (& with a hyper-sexualized young woman, too!)

genuinely can’t believe anora won best picture over conclave, nickel boys, sing sing, dune: part two and the substance…

@thatqueerkiwi But especially ROMANCE which is wild considering how much they read comics & GNs, and are riddled with romantic storylines

so basically women read everything and men hate fun
