Given the state of our world, I've been reflecting on my growth as a person, including, books which I feel have made me a better person. This li'l piece is a celebration of twelve books like that! If you're curious as to what made the list, well read on. mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2025/03/01/t...

A night of casino fun with the fam! If I win big you can expect me to never appear on this app again and disappear to some tropical island 🤞. Narrator: “He would, in fact, be posting again shortly.”

I’m not religious, but I believe in a higher power and throughout this abhorrent political situation, I’ve been praying and meditating for answers. All I can do right now is read & write a lot, strive for unselfishness, perform small acts of resistance, and strive to make things around me better.

Whelp, it’s Letterboxd Friday again and, for the second week in a row, Taylor Tomlinson reigns as the highlight!

Who or what exactly is God? You're in luck, because I solve that forever in this piece! Hahaha, in all seriousness, this uses the Endless from The Sandman to consider what TRUTH we, deep within our hearts, all know exist. Curious? Then read on, my friend! mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2025/02/28/w...

This nice thing about my #DoctorWho clock is how it’s changed the way I tell time. For example, I want my ice cream sandwich to be a little melted so I won’t eat it until it’s a little past Sylvester McCoy ;D.

Okay, so the new M&M'S commercial is HORRIFYING. Egad! I was not prepared for this! Nor was I ready for these other reflections that came while watching commercials before the movies. Am I overthinking things? YOU BE THE JUDGE, dear reader! mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2025/02/22/t...

It’s that time o’ week again — Letterboxd Friday! So here are my Last Four Watched (feel free to do a drum roll now).

I had the wonderful pleasure of being on Megan’s podcast and we talked about all sorts of things and you should totally listen to it. Huzzah!

Even amongst the annals of superhero history, the Hulk is unique. He's always meant a lot to me too, personally. So in this li'l piece, I read the first year of Hulk stories to learn who the Hulk was at the start. And I found a lot of exciting surprises! mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2025/02/16/t...

Cap is back, baby! In this li'l piece I explore my thoughts and feelings on #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld and consider why it's important to have Captain America front and center as the MCU's conscience. mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2025/02/15/c...

It’s time for CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD!!! WOOO HOOO!!

Pope Francis' letter to the U.S. Bishops is a beautiful reminder of how the Christian call to love authentically responds to the issue of immigration. It's also helpful to hear an accurate read of 'ordo amoris,' too.

So @kzamierowski.bsky.social and I are enjoying a delicious dinner out and we had no trouble getting a table because I guess there’s some baseball game or something on tonight.

Happy Friday! And remember, a new seasons of ‘Harley Quinn’ is on. This means more time with Harley and Ivy, the best couple on TV! I love that this show is so entertaining and so exciting while also modeling what healthy relationships really look like and how they work ❤️.

The teaser trailer for the new #FantasticFour teaser trailer hit today and it's kind of a BIG DEAL. They are Marvel's First Family! They put Marvel Comics on the map! So did the trailer hit me in all the feels? Read on to find out ;D. mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2025/02/04/t...

It’s not Groundhog Day without Bill Murray! This is one of the films I’ve seen most in my life and it never gets old. “Watch that first step! It’s a DOOZY!”

Just had an amazing conversation with the cashier and the woman in front of me in line at Target about how amazing the Star Wars Prequels are and how fun / niche / important ‘90s comic books movies are for the cinema we have now. What I’m saying is shop at Target as the people there are THE BEST.

We're just a few weeks out from #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld and I am SOOOO EXCITED. But I'm also a little worried about how Marvel will handle this. What are my hopes?!? What are my fears?!? All this and more await you, dear reader, in this very piece! mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2025/02/02/m...

What was George Lucas' original plan for the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy?!? And was it better or worse than what Disney gave us?! All this and my feelings, too, in THIS VERY PIECE. #StarWars mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2025/02/01/w...

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

If this week’s Letterboxd Friday shows anything, it’s that my movie-watching this week really hit the far ends of the “spiritual” spectrum 😂.

It’s a beautiful sign of progress in our society that when I wear this shirt out I don’t just get compliments but big smiles and warm, “Awww, I love that!”s. Yay for mental health awareness!

So Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl” just came on while I was doing some work at Panera and life cannot get better than this. And before you ask, yes, OF COURSE, I stopped what I was doing and sang along with every single word. Who could resist?!?

So #Babygirl was snubbed by the Oscars and has some audience members laughing uncomfortably as they watch it...and that's part of what makes this so great! Halina Reijn interrogates sex, shame, desire. and so much more in this brilliant, important film. mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2025/01/26/b...

I guess it’s Letterboxd Friday! Which, as @kzamierowski.bsky.social has explained to me, is when I share the last four movies I saw. So BOOM, here is go world!

It took the Catholic Church 359 yrs to say Galileo was right and admit Earth orbits the sun. They denied it but the truth didn’t change. An executive order can say anything about sexual & gender identity but denying the truth doesn’t change it. It only makes them look foolish and cruel.

One thing scripture makes clear is God stands against oppression and with those empire seeks to oppress. The nature of justice doesn’t change with election cycles nor echo chamber rhetoric. I will always openly stand with the LGBTQIA+ community because my heart, my faith, and my God are there.

Unintentionally I put on U2’s “Sunday Bloody Sunday” today and boy did it catch my mood… I can't believe the news today I can't close my eyes and make it go away. How long, how long must we sing this song? How long, how long? 'Cos tonight We can be as one, tonight.

Where is the faith? Where is the hope? And the love? I ponder these questions and my own feelings on this MLK Day mixed with an inauguration in this li'l reflection. mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2025/01/20/g...

My friend Michael & I finished this music puzzle yesterday & I feel so accomplished I might write a blog piece about my newfound love of puzzles.

When I did my Top Ten Movies of 2024 post, a friend called me out for not ranking #Wicked higher. As she made her case, I said, "Um...you should write this as a guest post for me." And she did! Here is that loving ode to Wicked :). mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2025/01/19/c...

The new season of #HarleyQuinn is finally here! In this li'l piece I explore what the BEST COUPLE EVER is up to in Metropolis as well as why the show's blurring of the binary between good and evil is so important. mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2025/01/18/h...

Absolutely never thought I was a “puzzle person,” but @mycomicrelief.bsky.social and I had so much fun with the banned books one on the left that we started another, bigger, music poster puzzle tonight. I’m totally into this.

"At key moments throughout US history, white male anger has been privileged over national security, progress or basic welfare" -- Carole Anderson Time to re-up this article after the disturbing subservience of the GOP in Hegseth's confirmation hearing today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So, is Nosferatu worth the hype? Yes, I think it is. In this li'l piece I explore how it slightly subverts the classic Dracula story to invite a discussion on the vampire genre, sex and sexuality, and the growth of hostile sexism in our world today! mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2025/01/12/n...

No other art we enjoy has the power to affect us like our music. No band or solo artist played a bigger role in helping me become me than U2. In this li'l piece I reflect on their songs, what they mean to me, and how they helped shape who I became! mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2025/01/11/u...

I had so much fun chatting with Megan and I second what she's said here - I can't wait for you to hear it! Yay for fandom positivity and yay for geeking out with fellow nerds :D.

I love a good t-shirt! And living in a time when toxically masculine, patriarchal, manosphere bull$#!t is so vocal, there’s nothing better than a shirt which reminds us there’s only one authentic road to walk for any man who calls himself Christian (and this is why I love The Happy Givers store ;D).

I know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but, c’mon @kzamierowski.bsky.social, scarves are sorta my thing.

I watched Casablanca for the first time last night and wrote a piece on it today! Casablanca in 2025: Notes on a First Viewing justdreadfull.wordpress.com/2025/01/04/c...
