So it seems that Hal Niedzviecki has decided to react to people pulling out of Canzine due to his genocide-denial comments by... Not only cancelling Canzine, which was expected, but also shutting Broken Pencil down entirely?? Holy macaroni.
UTA: The announcement that BP is shutting down is, unsurprisingly, not on the BP site but in an Instagram post.
Have I mentioned that the instagrammafication of social media is driving me BONKERS?? I had to find a reference to this post on Reddit. Facebook OCRs every photo posted to its site (to scan for hate speech, etc) so it could easily include OCR'd text in some meta or alt tags to make posts searchable, but no. Don't make anything on Instagram findable on a search engine, even its own.
