I got to talk to @ngoziu.com! She has a new book and it’s great! www.tcj.com/love-that-ch...

We're at 1600 newsletter subscribers, 10000 site visits, and exactly 1 fanfic on AO3 so big things are happening for John Rich & The Big Picture ✏️💕 okjohnrich.site

#ECCC 2026! I'll be there! 🥳

Okay, who all got in to ECCC?? 🔍👀

I will be at #ECCC 2026, and I will ACTUALLY have: new stuff + new news! Who all going? 😏✨

WHAT'S UP, @yallfest.bsky.social! I'll be at YALLFEST 2025 this weekend to talk about FLIP ✨, CHECK PLEASE 🥧, DC COMICS 🦹🏾, and yes...John Rich & The Big Picture! ✏️💕 Come say hello!

Hi, it's that time of year! If you'd like to have me speak at your university, festival, or convention in 2026, you can reach out at ngoziu.com to request my speaking fees. I've done keynotes, commencements, guest lectures, workshops, portfolio reviews...I love talking about storytelling!

in a different timeline Zohran is a B-list stand-up comedian/rapper who after starring in an netflix sitcom, wins an emmy for directing, and starts a tech-focused podcast — and he never does anything *wrong* but you feel like he wants to get into politics and it's VERY grating

I say this as someone who has been extremely blessed to work with DC Comics and First Second, and have had great experiences with both...self-publishing is so exciting. It's so fun. It's such a thrilling chance to connect with readers and share a story on your own Sicko Freakazoid terms.

JOHN RICH & THE BIG PICTURE ✏️ CHAPTER 7 - "Very Big Fan" “Boo-hoo, I have effervescent chemistry with a hot Australian actor,” said Hunter, sitting back in her chair. “Chemistry is chemistry. You guys were straight-up giggling.” ✨ www.okjohnrich.site/chapter-7-very-big-fan ✨

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't. Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani. The president and his allies came after him. Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute. He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters. His politics can win anywhere.

ZOHRAN!!

Zohran was polling at six percent in January. Nothing is impossible

BRUH mamdani is curbstomping this dude

With 75% of the vote in Mamdani's lead has grown again over 9%, and he is at 50.4% of the vote

NYT CALLED IT COOL BACK TO DRAWING COMIC PAGES

With 69% of votes in Mamdani is back at 50% and his lead has grown to nearly 9%

The live blog has that distinct smell of cope, I’m happy to report.

With 60% in Zohran's lead is stable at 8%. Sliwa is below 10% His non-performance shows that the Maga/Trump/Musk messaging got through and Republicans voted for Cuomo.

At 52% of votes in Zohran's lead narrowing again to 8% and drops below 50%. Brooklyn has the most votes remaining currently, and it's where Zohran has been performing best.

NYC vote now 52% reporting! Zohran now has 49.6% with by far the most reported county being Staten Island where Cuomo has 55% with 76% of the vote counted! Zohran’s getting a majority mandate! #Election2025 #ZohranMamdani #BlueCrew #FBR #Resistance

8 point fucking lead with more than half counted. Get his ass, Zohran

I know Zohran is the projected winner and has a huge lead, but I won't be calm until most/all of the votes have been counted. LMAO, I'M STRESSED. He has a lead and his stronger neighborhoods haven't been counted yet too.

With 43% in Zohran's lead over Cuomo has narrowed to 10%. More remaining votes in places where Zohran is strong.

Zohran doing side quests:

My TikTok is wall to wall Zohran cameos and not like, planned influencer collabs just ‘I was at a gay dance party and Zohran showed up’ this man is a treasure and must be protected at all costs.

What an amazing night! Big thank you to everyone who came out-- great energy! And HUGE thank you to @ngoziu.com for being an amazing moderator and matching the crazy fandom energy! 💚

A meaningful story on YALSA's blog The Hub. Book bans are a terrible form of censorship, but this interaction between a librarian and their teen patron is so lovely. It's short and sweet. Give it a read. 💕 @yalsa.bsky.social www.yalsa.ala.org/thehub/2025/...

It’s his day.

maeve’s reading the classics @ngoziu.com

in chapter 6, john is confronted with the fact that he is probably *very* much in love with this hot guy, and that he should stay off the internet. JOHN RICH & THE BIG PICTURE ✏️ okjohnrich.site/chapter-6-the-new-york-review-cover-sessions-tyler-hughes/

It’s okay, Jays. You’ll get ‘em in game four, which starts ten minutes from now.

Ohtani speaking for all of us saying "I want to go to sleep as soon as possible."

I knew Lily Allen and David Harbour’s marriage wouldn’t last when I saw their AD home tour and they put carpet in the bathroom

The new Lily Allen album is absolutely magnificent. It’s impossible to exaggerate her influence over so many modern artistes and ‘West End Girl’ shows why. But my goodness it’s brutal. Tunes like nursery rhymes, lyrics like razor blades.

The only way taylor swift can come back after life of a showgirl is if her divorce album is better than lily allen's divorce album

I'm still kind of surprised that The Greek Freak stuck as Giannis' nickname???

Most Apt Chapter Title. Holy Fuck

John Rich & the Big Picture ✏️ Ch 5. The Devil Wears Dada In which John meets his Antagonist and makes unfortunate comments on reptiles. okjohnrich.site/chapter-5-the-devil-wears-dada

Oh, it 100% is!! 😅 It's okay, I also attacked myself. Mr. Farley being that English teacher who has strong pop culture opinions but only on stuff from 20 years ago. (And who mentions vocab words mid sentence. 😭)

whenever I leave a note for myself in my revisions that says “show not tell” but didn’t do the work to actually revise the paragraph i LEGIT feel like Demi Moore in the Substance watching Margaret Qualley on late night TV

Fun fact: John has a "thing" for Garfield. It's halfway between a hobby and a psychologically load-bearing hyperfixation. John Rich & The Big Picture ✏️ ✨ okjohnrich.site/start ✨

Two chapters read so far, and I'm all-in. Extremely excited to follow this @ngoziu.com

also because we crossed 1000 subscribers i officially have to update my newsletter pricing plan lol
