There's a raven that likes to sit in the trees by our house and yell about everything. Just everything. Last night I had a dream that I managed to talk to the raven and they said their name was "Jar Symbol" as in, a picture of a mason jar. So that's now that raven's name. 🫙

For whoever needs to hear this: If you are trying to schedule a medical appointment for a condition that is not remotely fatal but does inconvenience you/cause discomfort and your instinct is to yell, "I COULD BE DEAD BY THEN!" at the scheduler, that will not make them want to help you more.

Also, if the chucklefucks out there that complain about keeping the source material "correct" didn't complain about this, your whole unwashed ass is showing.

Ghost Ship. It was so bad. My husband and I went with my brother and his wife. We aren't keen on letting other people choose our movies but I was trying to be a nice sister. Never again. Now we go see the movies we want to see and that's it.

4 backers away from a new page reveal!

I'm clearly out of ideas.

I've been doing my part today by making sure everyone I know who lives in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle knows about Jimothy the Raccoon with shortened spine syndrome. I hope he gets to live his best life for as long as possible. Unless he's an asshole. If he is then eff that raccoon.

It's all true! Feel free to poke me if you can't make it to the 4-6 EST brainstorming session, but want to join in and get a sense of how cool WW is (very). I've got sessions sprinkled throughout the day Friday. Come for the encouragement! Stay for the community! And HOT BRAINSTORM SUMMER 🌡️🧠🌧️✍️🏾

The Ruins Festival carnival games in Wild Arms were entertaining as hell. And, of course, you can't forget being able to play arcade games and Lucky Hit in Shenmue II.

A friend of mine is upset about the permanent DST because his favorite clock automatically adjusts and he doesn't know how to turn that off. 🤣 Otherwise, I think a lot of us in the PNW are kinda looking forward to our day not ending at 4PM during the winter. lol But we'll see!

I noticed this in the new Spider-man trailer. Looks like my winter-attire take from my time on Amazing Spider-man. Yea, I’m taking credit for it 😅

Did a few updates. As always: Give if you can, share if you want, ask questions if you need. And always give to those who need it. www.gofundme.com/f/support-gr...

Today I have to do yet MORE training for the department I don't really want to do. It's with a person who's friends with someone on my team and the person on my team who is younger than me got Serious Mom Voice at me and legit said, "BE NICE TO MY FRIEND." Then everyone tittered. I am nice. Mostly.

RIP Dr. Grant.

When I was about 12, I slipped on some ice and went down HARD on the books in my bookbag. Hurt like a mofo. Went to the doctor. Was told I had a bone bruise on my right hip and sent on my way. Well, for the past month or so that hip has been super bothering me. Not sure I like the implications.

I feel like our constantly shitty Rule of Three almost proves that we're in a simulation being monitored by asshole tech-bro aliens using space AI to code their bullshit.

I hoped I wouldn't have to do this again. There are people who are going through more trying times, and are probably more worthy. But things are dire right now, and so kick in if you want and ask questions if you need. www.gofundme.com/f/support-gr...

Come on Rule of Threes! You can do it!

Verify my age- I've used a wringer washer.

The work day is done, but now the Kickstarter day begins... Anyone want some indie horror comics? www.kickstarter.com/projects/jpl...

Cream cheese, ketchup, and mustard mostly. If I'm feeling fancy, caramelized onions get added.

I've been doing this while people drone on at me at work in an attempt to stay sane. It's....maybe? working? Oh, if you've got that thing where a bunch of circles creep you out or kill you or whatever it does, don't look at this.

I have a cover/commission slot open in Sept if anyone would like a pretty cover or illustration from meeee ❤️

Absolutely. If I don't care about my own characters how the hell can I expect someone else to care? I've also written scenes so creepy that I have trouble reading them for editing. 🤣

I'm not yet fully trained on the department I'm supposed to help out in because there's a lot of layers to it. Today literally everyone from that department is out. Some PTO but mostly out sick. Guess what I get to do today?! That's right! My regular department AND that one.

Our kid had the opportunity to get any building set he wanted at the hobby store in the mall and he picked the cafe so that his Lego guys could have a place to chill. I'm not even remotely mad. This is great.

oh, you're surprised by stephen king? i see you haven't read It.

Seconded.

I am embarrassed to admit this but I need help. (No, I am not fundraising to get a new dog for those in the know.) gofund.me/d90c6cea9

Platforming unrepentant bigots, harassers and abusers, particularly for money, is the best way to show those oppressed, harassed and abused that you don't care. There's nothing you can say to justify or excuse it. It's simply wrong.

Can someone explain to me like I'm five how someone else's usage of power affects the bills of people who aren't using that power? In my head this is like the house next door having floodlights on 24/7 and making you pay their bill.

Once I was told it looked like a kid wrote my dialogue in a story where the 23 year-old main character said "cool" regularly because "Adults don't say 'cool'."

Dear tiny fire-handed men that have taken up residence behind both of my eyes to attempt to push them out of my skull: Find someone else to torture. There's got to be more deserving choices out there. Bother them.

I do not care for this particular neighbor.

Every time something happens in the soccer, half of my feed cheers and half boos and usually without team names attached so all I know is one team probably scored a goal and the other one didn't and some people are happy and some are not and it's probably funnier to me than it should be. 🤣

I was featured by Impacto media for the 250 anniversary issue, talking all things family, art, comics and Latinidad! I also did the wrap around cover for the physical issue! English version here - www.impactomedia.com/region/ink-i...

If we've learned anything this week, it's that the internet is full of hoarders. Start a new collection of things that take up space in your house with my latest comic NEVADA DAY: www.kickstarter.com/projects/jpl...

Today is my birthday. I took PTO to enjoy the day. I have also woken up with a migraine. I see I will be battling the universe today for supremacy. It's on, yon vast and everlasting bitch.

This is what happens when I have nothing to do at work except stare at random shit on my desk. Only one of these things actually sits on my desk. The rest is artistic license. 🤣

Just sitting here hoping to reach 50% finally... Anyone want indie horror comics about vampires in Vegas?

My mother can't stand living with my brother's wife because she's always bustling around and having people over. Her #1 complaint about me: I don't entertain people and keep to myself and my kid. It hasn't even been six months since they left.
