Taking a sick day, watching BLUE BEETLE for (remarkably) the first time, thinking of the time I realized Jamie Rayes was the hero for me.

overmorrow is a word I like to use every chance I get, which is surprisingly often! it means "the day after tomorrow" and I hope you can use it yourself overmorrow

It's a testament to just how amazing ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER #1 is that both @denizcamp.bsky.social & @javierrodriguez.bsky.social on a project inherently sets the bar sky high...and yet that read still felt absolutely fucking UNREAL. This is fuckin' comics. I ended my read grinning ear to ear.

I’m tired.

Rewatching Poker Face before it comes back. Casting Natasha Lyonne as Modern Columbo is absolute perfection. Getting that Rian Johnson flavour with the ever present Nathan Johnson sound just amps it. Folks. I can’t. The world is trash, but my heart is full and it pulls me away from reality.

But what if we just threw everything into the sea instead of not?

Michelle Trachtenberg in “Harriet the Spy” was one of my first crushes ever (running alongside Anna Paquin in “Fly Away Home”). I know this is a bit of parasocial bullshit, but Iiiiiiii am very very rocked.

Just @craigh.bsky.social out here with the jokes today

Today feels like a really good day to repost Sonja Vitow’s I’M NOT IMPRESSED BY YOUR BIG DICK (with art by @fyodorpavlov.bsky.social)

This is what I do.

The wonderful @pattonoswalt.bsky.social had some kind things to say about our new book. Issue #1 in shops March 26th from @imagecomics.com!

I’ve been looking at a spice storage solution for quite some time and finally got the first phase done. Inspired by the potentially AI/poorly translated pictures of the product, I had fun with a couple of the labels

And Image Comics has just released the first issue of The Power Fantasy on their site, for free. Read the comic people are calling "The Power Fantasy" (normally while showering it with praise). First trade available now. imagecomics.com/read/the-pow...

Having had a post blow up a little bit, I realize that the internet is hell, and maybe I died a long time ago, because I can’t bring myself to leave.

America, deck all nazis.

Embrace graphic novels 1/ ?

I love you, city that murdered Hitchbot and birthed Gritty

Ring size wasn't a problem during this match

Mumford Puts His Sons Away c. 1920

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

Just one more thing

You should get to know your neighbors for reasons completely unrelated to fascism IMO

Witch Hat Atelier has good politics.

never forget the foundational scriptures

By special honorable request, I present here a list of trans/NB/Genderfluid DC Comics characters, and the best places to find them. Thanks to @gillandria.bsky.social for the suggestion. 🧵

I went to a restaurant and ordered the surf and turf but they must have misheard my order because it was a lovely NY Strip followed by a horrible entitled wealthy woman lecturing me about how oppressed she is.

Oh hey it’s the year of the snake! Here’s a drawing of a snake I made.

If Eltingville was about anything, it was about not making your hobby your personality. By all means enjoy things, let them be meaningful, let them get you through rough seas. But don't build pedestals. No IP loves you back, no creator is anything more than a person, they don't deserve your worship

To “Money for nothing”: PLEASE FEED YOUR EM. TEE SQUEEEEEE
