I offered to write “Happy 7th Birthday” in the speech balloon, but my daughter said that didn’t make sense. She had a very specific vision, which was for me to render this Squirrel Girl panel in buttercream so she could eat Hippo the Hippo’s face. @ryannorth.ca @ericafails.bsky.social

@breebird33.bsky.social my family has read Garlic and the Vampire several times this week. One kid spent several weeks worth of allowance to buy a Lego vampire minifigure inspired by the book. Thank you for writing it!

Come to find out what leads autistics into and out of fundamentalism, stay to hear Jon’s truly unhinged method of gathering data from ancient language teachers.

If you are a Wheaton alum, here is a letter urging the college administration not to endorse Vought or Project 2025. You can sign via the link at the top of the doc. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I'm about to start sending emails to podcasts and youtube channels that I think would be interested in talking with me about my autism and Christianity research, if you have any channels that you think I should email, let me know.

@runwithskizzers.bsky.social my neurodivergent kids and I appreciated this panel a lot - also, they squealed with delight whenever Nancy showed up, thank you for taking care of our girl Doreen, we’ve been enjoying the books

Throughout the year, I keep track of my favorite songs I first heard that year, and then compile my top ones into a playlist. It doesn't matter if the songs came out that year, just that I first heard them in that year. This year, I made a website to go with it. Check it out!

@ryannorth.ca my kid was so impressed with your courtroom comic in Squirrel Girl that they built a Courtney Alaska minifig and saved up their money to buy the She-Hulk minifig to go with the SG minifig they got for Christmas.

My family did a Lego challenge where they built a family member, and they all built me!

We have (accidentally) convinced our kids that Fort Christmas is a widely known Christmas Eve tradition, instead of just a thing we started doing when we first got married. What is to stop you (yes you!) from building a fort out of whatever’s around?

I’m not over how fun and weird it is that Greg and Wirt’s guide through The Unknown is named Beatrice. I mean, of course she is, but she’s a CONFLICTED Beatrice with an AGENDA. Like if Dante’s Beatrice intended to guide him into Inferno instead of into Paradiso.

At the time I write this, it would still be a couple of months before our kid and I were referred for autism/adhd assessments, and it somehow did not occur to me at the time to mention hugs-by-appointment to the assessors.

The only ways to succeed as a human in a muppet movie is the Michael Caine way, where you behave as if everyone else is also a Shakespearean trained actor, or the Tim Curry way, where you behave as if you’re also a muppet 100% of the time.

Late 80’s for me, but I feel compelled to mention the two Muppets movies we watch every year. A Muppets Christmas Carol and Muppets Family Christmas (we can only watch the latter bootlegged on YouTube, it has so many songs in it, that they never secured the rights to distribute it anywhere but TV)

My sleepy eyes self read “quitters” as “quilters” and was trying to figure out what beef John has with the fabric arts.
