Mr. Beast Wawa ad.......betrayal

One of my Dadliest qualities in when someone says "[XYZ] question", I respond "[XYZ] answer, maybe". It has "hi hungry, I'm dad" energy but I can't resist doing it

Very excited to be teaching a scriptwriting class again this year as part of Comics U!!

“Actually you don’t understand my big brain comic and proved my point, sheeple!!!” is A Choice Of Response

Complaining about the success of others means you’re bitter Complaining about the success of POC specifically means you’re racist 👍 hope this helps 👍

So far today I've received 28 pitches for upcoming books. By 28 different publicists representing 28 different authors. There is so little space to cover any of them. Which is why this AI-created and unedited by humans summer reading list is such a slap in the face.

I haven't even gotten to the part where as a publicist in the publishing industry I am acutely aware of how much books coverage has been shrunk over the past decade and these fake books got better placement than most real ones can enjoy because the people who cover them have been laid off 🫠

The fact that the GenAI summer reading list was a syndicated promotional insert is so weird because like....why

The firing of Dr. Hayden was already a travesty and Todd Blanche as the interim Librarian of Congress just rubbed salt, lime juice, and battery acid in the wound

My toxic trait is only being able to think up the most unsellable book ideas to write, despite working in the industry and knowing the state of the market

Hell yeah

Just accidentally texted a coworker one of the more unhinged inside jokes between my husband and i instead of him 👍👍👍 doing great

Megan Thee Stallion paying tribute to Josephine Baker hairstyle 💅🏽💅🏽💅🏽 #MetGala

Tonight’s Met Gala is a huge win for hot women in suits

I’m posting through the Met Gala over on Insta but Zendaya’s look is so powerful it must be shared on two platforms

That feeling when it’s hopefully the last round of edits on something but you don’t have anything else lined up immediately so you’re happy but also scared (hey editors I am available for projects)

If you want to know where the Worst Guy is, he’s in the Philly suburbs driving the neon green cybertruck with the giant decal that says “Triggered?” on the back of it that I just saw

Re: small press/publisher agreements, if your advance is $2k, you're gonna see those royalties much sooner than if your advance were $50k from a traditional publisher. At least small publishers are forthcoming about what the costs to be made back are. 50/50 is a GOOD deal.

The weather today feels like Daft Punk's Random Access Memories (2013)

I booked the Quirk team's SDCC flights. Time is simply Not Real

Having a spouse who understands that writing is your career and you need time and space to do it: Good Having a spouse that says things like "don't you have some writing to do?" as part of this awareness and understanding: Wtf. what are you, the cops? Get outta here

It's Euge and I's 5 year wedding anniversary today. Wild to think that 11 years ago I booked some dude for a show at the comic shop where I worked and now we have two weirdo dogs and are about to go eat hella pierogies to celebrate 5 years of marriage.

Hi, I got laid off from Silver Sprocket last week and yesterday was my last day! I'm still so grateful for the chance to support some of the best cartoonists out there and to work with some amazingly-skilled colleagues. Everyone is struggling right now BUT I'm looking for work if you've got it!

"If you don't hear back from the slime person by EOW, let me know" and other things I say at work

Euge: I was up late reading reactions on Reddit Me (w/Catholic-pilled brain): To the pope dying? Euge:......to last night's episode of The Last Of Us

I started making these cookies on Easter during lockdown and this year I upped my game to offer a choice of liturgical gesture

Never thought we'd have a Pope that makes me go "hell yeah brother" this often

Tiny Pep Talks (or, "Tiny Pepe" as I have mistyped it enough times that it has become an internal joke) is the series we need right now as a society, don't miss this chance to tell Jess what pep talks from the wonderful Paula and Josh would help you survive the horrors

i need people to understand "death of the author" means the author can't dictate what you take away from the text, not that you're not complicit in what they do with the profit they make from you buying it in the first place

this this this this. Everyone who is serious about media literacy should read Roland Barthes ACTUAL WRITING, imo

I've said this before: I understand it can feel overwhelming to be an activist but one of the absolute easiest ways to do it is to stop giving money to a person who has made it their loud and public mission to erase a group of people just trying to live their lives

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

This is where your Harry Potter money goes

Today I learned that the Philadelphia Zoo’s hedgehogs and new tenrec are named after Supernatural

I started my comic writing career when I was still working behind the counter in an LCS -- this prize from BINC is a great opportunity for a writer/bookseller in a similar spot! The application deadline is next week! bincfoundation.org/susankamil-s...

Seeing someone in a red baseball hat in this area is tough because either it’s time to give someone a withering glare or it’s Go Phils

Every day I am burdened with existence

Bon Iver x Fishwife collab really coming for my boring 36 year old ass

Don't know how I'm expected to continue on after The Pitt ends for the season tonight
