Sorry, I just don't have the time in my day to make that happen, and none of them will end up in the hands of the store team — they're going right to the events from the publisher, to be given away there.

Come see me at FAN EXPO Denver July 4-7 or San Diego Comic Con July 24-28 to get one of these sweet Fuck Off, I'm Reading bookmarks. Totally free thanks to the fine folks at Andrews McMeel, who bring you Effin' Birds calendars every year.

Lots of people use Cloudflare which is why people are complaining my website is down.

The resolution for the username here was that Bluesky changed what DNS they used. The website is, of course, the more pressing issue, but I'll have to wait for a resolution between Rebel and Cloudflare for that.

You see effinbirds.com as my handle, and not "Invalid Handle"?

Interesting -- where are you geographically and what services are involved here? No one at my end can reproduce this.

Another day of this Invalid Handle nonsense and I'm gonna set up one of my other very stupid domains as my custom handle.

eatf.art
nft.bs
dogvomit.shop
tubesteak.biz

I have like six pages of these at my domain registrar
