I somehow ended up singing “The Locomotion” to our kid-slash-train-engine while putting them to bed and when I finished they asked me “why is the baby not doing it?” @edidin.bsky.social

The kiddo has informed us that I’m the little blue engine, they are the little red engine, and @edidin.bsky.social is the “black, old, tired engine.”

AND IT’S REALLY MUDDY AND YOU WILL ROLL BACKWARDS INTO THE MUD AND YOUR WHEELS WILL GET MUDDY AND ALSO THERE IS A CRACK IN THE TRACKS.

We have just learned a shocking new fact in train school, which is TRAINS DON’T HAVE HANDS

Looking real DAMN GOOD.

work for POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED actually began in 1996 gonna have to rethink one of these for obvious reasons

We have been informed that we are trains going to train school and the kiddo is the train teacher and we are learning important facts like “stay on the rails at all times” and “don’t leave the tracks” and “don’t mess up the cars.” @edidin.bsky.social

the Sacramento zoo has 6 BABY CAPYBARAS

This has always been something that infuriates me. I have never checked the chromosomes of anyone. The percentage of people I know whose genitalia I have inspected doesn't even rise to 0.1%. We all, *all the time*, accept people's gender based on self-ID. That's the only way the concept can function

lol sorry, gang. I'm just browsing Kickstarter tonight and I see so many projects with AI art and obvious ChatGPT copy. The whole point of a Kickstarter pitch is to assure your audience of your competence. Nothing about using genAI does that. And that's why your shit isn't funding and never will.

COVER REVEAL! My cover for BOOM! Studios' new POWER RANGERS UNLIMITED #1 will be available as both a regular variant and a foil incentive!

Does King Friday have any official power, or is it more of a Joshua Norton situation?

This reminds me of the time someone wrote me a (snail mail) letter to tell me that if I did not cancel Mary Worth, they would instigate another 9/11

exfuckingscuseme???

Every time the kiddo decides we are a family of creatures, they decree that I am the mommy creature and @teaberryblue.net is the daddy creature, and I think that's pretty neat.

KIDDO: How does that [auto-flushing toilet] work? ME: [explains in 3-year-old-friendly terms] KIDDO: [ponders briefly] No. I think it’s magic. @teaberryblue.net

in case you think I'm making things up: this happens about once every 2 weeks

KIDDO (gesturing wildly): What animal is this? ME: I don’t know. Can you give me a hint? KIDDO: It has three ears. @teaberryblue.net

I would do so much cooking and make cool art for our home @edidin.bsky.social

“Babies don’t have a lot of toes,” said the kiddo. @edidin.bsky.social

Big news! I’m kicking off MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: GENESIS, with the dream team of @gavinpsmith.bsky.social and @porrafabi.bsky.social - delving into Eternia’s past, and the dark origins of the one and only SKELETOR!!! Out this August from @darkhorse.com! www.slashfilm.com/2153404/mast...

Isn’t this just backstage in musical theater?

The only A.I. I support is Abolish ICE.

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Tonight is @teaberryblue.net's night to do bedtime, and kiddo insisted on getting me a blanket and stuffie and tucking me in on the couch before getting ready for bed themself. 😭

In response to some bullshit going around: Can we please fucking destigmatize men being nice to / caring about / engaging with kids? These are normal adult mammal instincts; what's fucked up is that we beat them out of people based on gender and/or assume they're inherently predatory.

Oh it’s that day today Happy Birthday, marijuana

As someone who is genetically predisposed to a higher rate of pancreatic cancer, this is magical.

I consistently repeat to folks that they do not in fact ever *succeed* on their own. Sometimes the assistance is visible, often it is submerged. None of the USian billionaires *succeeded* on their own. In fact, most of them continue to benefit from your money, labor, etc....

One of the biggest lies in American culture is that the wealthy got wealthy by making morally good choices (ie working hard) and the poor got poor by making morally bad choices (ie being lazy and irresponsible) and that they both deserve what they got.

The hero we need

Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history

Do you think they were radicalized to avoid men by Greta Thunberg, who is by all accounts in a happy long term relationship with a man, or were they radicalized to not marry by a huge number of cishet men being antisocial losers who think they’re entitled to rape.

Studios laying off hundreds and thousands of employees with the excuse that they can move production to the UK and not have to pay for healthcare because the UK has socialized medicine should be humiliating to the US government.

I like you, comic book artist

Because of the lighting of this photo I had to do a double take to realize it was not a picture of a Klingon at a piano.

This is wildly fucked up

normally I sideeye characters who are just a little too perfect, but Crosby is a good boy and deserves all the love.

Petition to ban anyone from supporting war in Iran unless they can actually properly pronounce the word "Iran."

Thread. 💕 Thanks for helping us send out 1.5 million whistles.

Please read this urgent paper. I am then going to repost a bunch of comments I made last night (sorry).

Will vote for anyone who makes this election promise

having a kid is like having your heart outside your body and it is impossibly vulnerable and impossibly precious and also sometimes it insists that you call it The Conductor and kicks you repeatedly while you're trying to convince it to sleep.

IF THE ZOO BANS ME FOR HOLLERING AT THE ANIMALS I WILL FACE GOD AND WALK BACKWARDS INTO HELL

@bradlander.bsky.social at today's @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social rally at City Hall Park. Organizers including @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social are calling for a morartorium on "A.i." in the NYC public schools.
