Just read the news about Marjane Satrapi. Persepolis was, and continues to be, a transformative graphic novel for so many people, myself included. Her life, and all of her work, both on and off the page, were a blessing and a gift to us all. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2026/jun/04/marjane-satrapi-creator-of-persepolis-and-acclaimed-french-iranian-artist-dies-aged-56 https://www.theguardian.com/books/2026/jun/04/marjane-satrapi-creator-of-persepolis-and-acclaimed-french-iranian-artist-dies-aged-56?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other04 Jun 2026 14:21 +0000at://did:plc:encd5o6kebdu3ot32nn2jljp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnht3iuiis2rhttps://blacksky.community/profile/benjaminlistwon.com/post/3mnfqpipku22gI don't understand businesses where you request something through email, then they call you in response, leave a voicemail (because I'm not picking up from rando number) that tells you they are going to email you, then they send the email right after the vm.

I know sea otters have a lot of fur, so I checked: Malamute: ≈30K hairs / sq in Husky: ≈80K hairs / sq in Sea otters: 500K - 1M hairs / sq in !!!
