I had the best of times at CXC this weekend. SO many awesome comics!! SO many wonderful people!! The world is crap, but the comics community in Ohio is anything but. Thanks for a killer weekend.

So far the only picture I have from CXC is this super flattering one of me using my old SDCC room key card as a fork on my leftovers.

One of my favorite parts of teaching comic workshops to kids is when they try to guess how old I am. They either guess drastically low, like 16, or unbelievably high, like 80. THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN.

Had a special guest on my Teams meetings today

Behold: www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

I'll be at CXC later this week! On Thursday I'm giving a lecture called "Publishing_Tips_final_FINAL_ForRealThisTimev2.psd" about best practices, file finesse, and maintaining your sanity. On Saturday I'm teaching a workshop for kids about Emanata, and I'll be tabling all weekend!!

Cooked a shallot tart that came with a side of whipped boursin cream last night and I'm just tweeting about it because people should know this food combo exists

This was my first Dickens book and now I need another! Should I read about the one starring a plucky orphan boy OR the one that stars an orphan boy whose quite plucky OR that one with the plucky boy who has been recently orphaned?

New sticker debuting at CXC! Hoping to have these at all future conventions, 100% of the proceeds from this sticker will go to a local organization that advocates and protects nonbinary folks. Also! It has a wolf on it!

An absolutely fantastic panel from 100 Nights of Hero by Isabel Greenberg, based on my actual grandmother (not really but the resemblance is uncanny)

I love riso (-:

I think that the date they put out Halloween paraphernalia for sale should coincide with the date that all mosquitos die. If consumerism wants to gaslight me into thinking it's spooky season, it can gaslight mosquitos into thinking it's too cold to bite my ankles

I'm Meggie, a queer nonbinary cartoonist from Michigan! I'm the author of 3 Batcat books, work as a comic book designer, and am tracking all the books & comics I read this year on bluesky and goodreads (I'm currently up to 260!) This thread is for September's reads:

I fell behind on writing reviews but I'm still tracking all my reads, here's a thread of most of what I read in August!

Oh my gosh this looks amazing

I just took care of two ground bee nests without getting stung and I think this is the closest I'll ever get to feeling immortal.

I swear to God I haven't been taking bites out of this rose, even though it's exactly what it looks like

Look I know I'm from the Midwest but it's just more polite to say "just gonna sneak past you there" than "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY"

I wanted to dedicate a book with: To my super dead dad. Thanks for the trauma, it makes for great source material. But APPARENTLY that's "inadvisable" and "not appropriate for a children's book".

✨Batcat book 4, available for preorder now and out next April!! ✨ www.abramsbooks.com/product/seei...

Every night, without fail, Ruby will wait until Sam reads a book. Every night, without fail, the attempt to read is ruined.

Well sign me the heck up

Think I'm getting a summer flu or something and trying to get this comic inside the squishy part of my brain that is begging me to get back to work

I JUST GOT MY LUMBERJANES BOX SET IN THE MAIL AND ITS GORGEOUS

I'm documenting everything I read this year, and I'm up to 235 books! Here is a thread for everything I read in August-->

Here is everything I read in July!

Very important update: my Tamagotchi now has its own ferris wheel. (Also this Tamagotchi was an impulse buy to indulge my inner 90s child, and I'll be honest it is paying off in SPADES.)

I am two seasons into this show and now I CAN'T UNSEE THIS.

Happy International Embroidery Day!

This was one of my FAV READS of 2025 by @alixeharrow.bsky.social This book is Arthurian adjacent legend wrapped around a less problematic Time Travelers wife that encases a rebellious heart beating so loud that it drowns out the drums of war, YOU GOTTA READ IT IN OCTOBER.

@katemckean.bsky.social THIS BOOK IS WRECKING ME. I almost didn't bring it on vacation?? I'm going to need to buy the deluxe edition and put in a point of pride on my favorite reads shelf if the last few chapters don't destroy me first??? It's making me look at our current timeline with hope????

my new book is out today. it's about separatism and utopia and bodily autonomy and cults and capital and love and revolution and nature and sex and all the things we owe to each other. I'm so proud and excited and nervous for you to read it. i hope you do. simplicitybook.xyz

I had a GREAT TIME at SDCC. I made a lot of new friends and a lot of great memories at SDCC, but the BEST thing I'm taking from the con is my new Tamagotchi, who is slowly becoming my new personality.

As a reminder, I'll be here tomorrow! #SDCC2025

At SDCC and I MET RIZZO THE RAT. My favorite rat and my second favorite Muppet after Gonzo!!!!

I got chosen for a project at work because of my ability to provide "whimsy", which means that my years of trying to be a badass HAVE BEEN ENTIRELY IN VAIN.

We make pizza every week and I always take glamor shots and then do nothing with them, so here is this week's pesto goat cheese affair 🍕

STOP THE PRESSES WE'VE GOT MONARCHS IN MICHIGAN THIS IS THE ONLY ROYALTY AMERICA NEEDS

LOOK AT MY EGGPLANT! 🍆 AND LOOK AT MY MOM'S RESPONSE TO MY EGGPLANT!!!

Also time to bring this one back
