Liebes #Fediverse,
manche von Euch haben es vielleicht in der BZ gelesen: unsere Kinder- und Jugendbuchhandlung ist insolvent. Seit #Corona ist es uns nicht gelungen, das „alte“ Umsatzniveau zu erreichen und bestehende Forderungen zu bedienen.
Im Rahmen einer Neugründung („asset deal“) wollen wir versuchen, im kommenden Insolvenzverfahren den Laden zu erhalten, aber infolge der Ereignisse ist es dem bisherigen Inhaber (auch gesundheitlich) nicht mehr möglich, in der ersten Reihe zu stehen.
Wir sind daher auf der Suche nach einer oder mehreren Personen, die sich vorstellen können, die Führung der Geschäfte zukünftig zu übernehmen. Mittels #Crowdfunding sowie privater Beteiligungen langjähriger Kund:innen wollen wir eine Struktur aufbauen, die zukunftsfähig ist und sich vom Modell Einzelperson = Geschäftsführung = Eigentum löst. Es gibt viele Ansätze, aber wir brauchen auch die richtigen Köpfe dafür.
Ihr seid oder kennt eine Person mit Perspektive im #Buchhandel? Meldet Euch!
I don't like on how this is the 3rd time I'm asking for help during this situation, but this is the only way I can do to help.
We have been in some progress since last time, we're currently working on gaining the ability to buy a house throughout the weeks up till now. And so far, we're waiting on a word from them telling on what're we suppose to do next.
While we're waiting for that, we do need help with keeping up with the hotel room, food and bills while also saving up for the house. Every bit helps!
For the better part of a century, people have said that comic books are dying. Crisis after crisis, the comic book industry has survived and lives to this day. So, to celebrate its harrowing journey into the 21st century, a satirical OGN about the history of comic books has taken shape. Introducing the ironically named Comics Are Dying: The Comic - a brief history and celebration of the comic book industry!
You see, this whole project started because I am sick of pessimists, naysayers, whiners, bullies, and opportunists screaming from the heavens about how comics aren’t like they were when they were a kid. I see so many bigots and ignorant folk online complaining about diversity or inclusion and how they want comics to go back to the old days. I think that’s so stupid.
Comics are changing and they’ve always been changing. They’re art and no medium of art stays the same forever. Some of the stuff people complain about has been in comics for decades anyway, so it’s really just a “complaint of the week” for some people. Truly just a miserable lot of fandom. On a more positive note, I see and know the wonderful creatives working today and the heart and soul they put out into this work. But, the joy of it is that I’ve met so many people from all over the world living vastly different lifestyles, but they are unified in their love of this business we call home. It’s a great unifier and a source of creative community.
So, the only way to fight against those clambering for death is to live your passion and express your love on the page. That’s what this book is about. It’s a celebration of not only comics but the people who make them too.
I just lost my last $25 to a payment I can't even find the source of! I'm getting help from my bank but I really could use that money being replaced badly!
If you're paying for shipping via Backerkit and your card expires before they charge you, does Backerkit send you an email asking you to update your CC info? Or do I have to figure out which projects I backed are impacted?
The Anton Families in Gaza, Palestine
"On December 16th, 2023, my family, Nahida Khalil Boulos Anton and her late daughter, Samar Kamal Anton, were tragically shot by an IDF army sniper in front of the Holy Family Latin Church in Gaza, a protected area, a place of worship.
Despite Pope Francis publicly condemning their killings and their stories gaining international attention, we still struggle to navigate the administrative and financial obstacles of the system to bring our remaining families who are in danger, to safety in Australia."
Il manque 20% à L'élabo de Paulette pour sa nécessaire rénovation et ce compte #Mastodon est trop récent pour pouvoir diffuser largement la campagne de #FinancementParticipatif, c'est pourquoi :
Si vous voyez ce #pouet, n'hésitez pas à le partager ! 💟
I just saw (and backed) Cairn 2e Kickstarter that must have launched recently!
It’s a cool light weight fantasy system built on the Into the Odd engine with its own twists.
I ran a 1-shot in 1e against a giant enemy crab in a dungeon and it was a blast.
I’ve been running Mausritter (similar system) and it’s been great so I’d love to add this to the shelf of options for games physically!
Hello! I need at least $80 to make it to April 5th, which is low income quarterly cheques. I've taken out two payday loans for this pay period and can't afford another one, so help powering through the next week of food and two small bills is needed 🙏🏾

My good friend and I are homeless & disabled & living in motels at the moment. Both of us are in bad shape physically and mentally and have no other resources. We need to raise $100 to keep the room tomorrow, could you please donate or share?
Hi all! We don’t often link to appeals like this but this is a cause close to our hearts. The rescue centre from where my parents adopted Max, their beloved #GoldenRetriever who recently passed away, is under threat of closure unless they can raise enough funds.
Please donate and BOOST if you can. Thanks everyone! ❤️
