The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

Elevator pitch FIRST. Tropes SECOND.

Heads up, the annual year-end free trial period for Publishers Marketplace is live. Great way to do research for those of you gearing up to query in the New Year. lunch.publishersmarketplace.com/2025/12/a-pm...

When I was a teen being raised by republicans and had no way of obtaining a binder I used many methods, none of which were safe. I have no real way of knowing how much damage I did to my body during that time, just know that banning binders just means making binding unsafe, not banning binding.

shout out to me for realizing JUST now that I accidentally used the same FMC name in contracted and personal work The personal project was started AFTER starting the contracted piece, but in the middle of a break. Um.... I guess it's back to the drawing board for that personal project, lol

I need yall to understand once Marty Supreme started with an opening shot straight out of Look Who's Talking, you can't take that seriously anymore

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

damn. I just searched and the piece I wrote for them years ago about domestic violence and Title IX is gone

Sinatra has gone woke

A good reminder that when you purchase an ebook or movie, you're usually just purchasing the license to have it in your library. You do not own it. The provider can alter or remove it at any time. If physical is available, buy that. If not, well, enjoy it while you can.

I currently do contract work with folks in Lagos and Ifẹ̀ and I am so terrified that I’m going to wake up to a bunch of messages in my WhatsApp groups one morning about something like this. The United States is a terrorist organization.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

It’s that time of year~~ 12 month tarot spread. I know it looks really intimidating but it’s actually very very beginner friendly. #tarot

Re gender affirming care for youth: They will come for the haircuts and the clothes next. And it won’t stop with kids or trans people. And I’ve been telling people this for a decade and now here we are with lots of cis people shrugging and saying it’s unfortunate. How are you going to save a life?

As if last night wasn't bad enough, a new proposed rule would introduce a de facto nationwide trans youth healthcare ban There will be an open comment period, but it's time gear up and fight.

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

Affordable Care Act subsidies are about to expire leaving millions unable to afford health insurance. This is an excellent time to start wearing a mask. Keeping yourself and your community healthy is an act of resistance. Millions of people literally can’t afford to get sick.

Denying infants a safe and effective Hepatitis B vaccine at birth in Guinea-Bissau, where ~19% of adults are currently infected with Hepatitis B, is akin to the Tuskegee Syphilis Study where black men with syphilis were deliberately left untreated to study the natural progression of disease.

If you want to spark some trans joy on such a scary day, may I suggest www.transanta.com? Let's get holiday gifts for trans kids. You can pick a registry and send a gift directly or donate to them and they'll make the magic happen.

“AI is ok as long as it’s not taking anyone’s job” and whose work is it trained on. Did you forget that it’s a bunch of stolen fucking shit? Are we moving the goalposts already? “it’s sticking around so you have to get used to it, be realistic” no I don’t. Eat my shit and hair

Every trans person--including every trans child--deserves the chance to be fully themselves. I'm so sick of seeing trans folks harmed repeatedly and unrelentingly, against all reason and scientific precedent. To my trans friends--I'm so sorry the world keeps trying to dim your light.

If you are still on X/Twitter in any capacity as an artist, get off there right freaking now.

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

Here's my line: No AI. None. Not in the final, not in the production, NOT IN THE PRE-PRODUCTION. NONE. OF. IT. "wE jUsT usE iT to eXpLoRe iDeAs" You can use it to fuck off too.

“Warner’s office said the FBI agents now deployed alongside Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agent have been taken away from their work tackling cybercrimes, drug trafficking, terrorism, espionage, violent crimes, counterintelligence and other efforts …”

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

Looking for recipes is a pain in a half because at least 75% of everything I've looked at is AI generated. Even pre-2024 recipes have been recently modified for no good reason.

An old journal comic repost to remind myself that the time is now and I’m not stuck

If you want to solve the literacy crisis you're going to have to get comfortable with student failure again. Student failure has become a reflection of the school and failing schools mean lower real estate values. We care MORE about looking good than being good. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/u...

every post is like i bet you didn’t know this absolutely wonderful thing about rob reiner and each one is different

With this latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%. It's the guns!!! :(

There's no way this is applied in a uniform way and that's not the point of the policy anyway. It's to suppress specific types of dissent and provide a mechanism by which to hedge against losing the policy fights eliminating tenure altogether. This is a living lab of a state for the right.

80s babies: That MMR shot we got *runs out*. MMR boosters are available. I went and got one. Consider it especially if you’re going to some international Petri dish of an event

I love seeing people react to Wake Up, Dead Man. We watched it after Wicked Part II and (hot take?) it's easily the superior movie

hi, this is super fucked up

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly: - DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems - Confirms @404media.co's reports of use of DHS's facial recognition app.

The American Association of University Professors said 40% of full-time faculty members — or 169 academics — have received voluntary separation or early retirement offers, making it the “largest attempted firing of faculty currently taking place in the nation.” #AcademicSky

You know in Europe they riot about this kind of thing.

Minnesotans have come together to try to protect their Hispanic and Somali neighbors whom ICE began raiding the homes and businesses of in the past week, disappearing many community members and leaving behind their children.

Today I got to help my family make tamales for Christmas! Sure, I invited myself when they invited my mom but I was allowed to help, hehe

Do ppl know they can get shingles in their eye that can blind them? In their mouth or throat so they can’t eat? On and in their genitals or rectum? Do you want horrific pain for a couple weeks paired with possible permanent complications? No? Get the fucking vax

UPDATE: Trump’s Paramount allies the Ellisons are trying to block the Netflix-WB deal and take over Warner Bros (which includes CNN) with a hostile bid. (Trump signaled he may help them so his allies control more of what you see… paying attention yet?) www.bbc.com/news/article...

We all know this is a lie, but can we stop valorizing this shit? Sleeping this little actually really fucks you up and you make bad decisions. It makes you irritable. It fucks up your memory. It reduces your ability to react calmly and rationally.
