It's book launch week! Spend the weekend catching up with my bargain basement cyborg hivemind. Murder, mystery, and a detective who just wants to be left alone with her poetry and bad romance novels. #book #books #BookSky #scifi

Waitress: You think we'll get five inches of snow? I haven't gotten five inches in years. My husband (to me): **stern DON'T YOU DARE glare** Me (garbled due to sticking my entire fist in my mouth): oob whab a shaaame

"Fuck it, we ball" but as a society.

Would you also like to burst out laughing?

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

Someone online yelled at me once for wasting money on raised beds and I told them all male dogs have a ranged acid attack and that (briefly) shut him up.

There's a story from Twitter 2016 that's been in my head lately: a meeting at a community center was focused on addressing Trump 45, and a white woman breaks down crying, "It's just...SO HARD!" while a Black woman comforts her but otherwise keeps her mouth shut.

Tell me we should trust AI to give us the facts. Tell me it's a future we can put our faith in. Come at me. I'm right here, waiting.

Insomnia is so great. I’m over here wondering why the only episode of LASSIE I’ve ever watched was about agriculture laws. The dog was up-to-date on invasives code.

OH MY GOSH THE FAMOUS COPING BUTTER HAS A SWEATSHIRT!!!

Been trying this thing where if I can't tell a headline is real or satire, I take a quick walk, and if I still can't tell, I go take a nap, so I'm still confused about everything everywhere but at least I'm rested and have gotten some light exercise.

Excitedly waiting for the Teapot Takedown or whatever the final comeuppance code will be called!

Use the materials you're hoarding. Use that cute pen, the fancy tape, one of the 40 notebooks. Draw with those alcohol markers before they dry up. Art materials are meant to be used, not gather dusts. "I'm afraid to waste it." Time spent using them = experience. And experience is never wasted.

I get the reference! I get the reference! I LOVE the nose. www.etsy.com/listing/4441...

Find what keeps you going.

Really remarkable that in the dead of winter, they have decided to focus their efforts on Minnesota, Maine and Greenland

This is especially significant as ICE is focused on urban areas and is less likely to invade rural regions, which means that yet again the Dems are tailoring their messaging to those fictional dudes sitting in a farming community's diner.

lol my accountant made a mistake on last year's taxes and now i owe almost $2k so I need to sell some prints STAT 💀 🇨🇦 All 8"x10" and 5"x7" prints in my shop are 10% off over this weekend with code TAXSZN!! 🌎 10% off my INPRNT shop until Monday! Code: T831SYSY www.inprnt.com/gallery/apla...

From @sigridellis.bsky.social who I would trust like no other to hold my back in a bar fight---If you want to help people on the ground in Minn, this is where you can send $$$. They manage anti-ICE training and resources, and are feeding vulnerable families. immigrantdefensenetwork.org/donate/

I know we're a billion miles past "Imagine if the Democrats did/said this" so instead think about your uncle saying this same thing at Thanksgiving and the looks everyone else would give him as they scooted their chairs away.

If you have not read the Rachel Peng books, you have SUCH a treat waiting!

Background work video: the dude who makes the most amazing inked knotwork is back with a huge art piece. An hour+ of sketching, inking, and painting with no speaking and plink-plonk background music on repeat.

On the one hand, I understand why you would give a speech like this in the current geopolitical climate, but on the other **endless screaming**

The bit that gets me is that they’re going to move this shitshow to Maine next to try and avoid the coming cold snap. Maine. To avoid the cold. And there’s no such thing as “Maine nice.”

I have written a book. The main character adopts a pug. Nothing bad happens to the dog except for hanging out with a psychopath for a few chapters. The main characters also go on a rampage in a WWII Panzer. This book has got ***layers***

Please, think of the wetrock blinkholes

If you need an attractive, affordable, AI-free book cover, I've got vet bills to pay! 👇

This is a fantastic series!

You know, I'm not sure he really deserves the FIFA Peace Prize.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked the clean ACA tax credit extension that the House passed to save millions of people thousands of dollars each. If you’re paying double or even triple for health insurance, blame Trump and the Senate GOP.

Anecdata: Last week when Good was murdered, the community blogs in Greensboro, NC, had a large helping of "Well if you don't get in ICE's way while they're trying to do their jobs..." and there are none of these now (that I see).

The squeak I just squnked.

Every #writer checks their release day metrics in different ways. Mine is checking for the throwaway words I slip into the text which drive my poor copyeditor absolutely bananas.

In between walking my still-new rescue dog Spatula, I have been plowing through this book. A+ conclusion to my favorite blind Chinese-American cyborg cop who is adopted by a rescue dog.

This whole series is a banger and you should absolutely read if before the webcomic. 💙📚

!!! This entire series is fantastic. Get on this.

But Kendall Jenner told us all we needed to do to stop this was give them a Pepsi.

"What do you mean, haunted?" Well, the release date was pushed back when my dad learned he had a collapsed lung and that kicked off the usual chaos. Haven't talked about this until now bc we needed to make sure he's okay, and he is, so that's a blessing. AND NOW FOR THE REST OF THE STORY...

It's (official) book release day! Come pick up INSIDE THREAT, the sixth Rachel Peng book! This book might be haunted, but in a way of my own making which doesn't transfer at ownership. Links are here kbspangler.com/books/ #book #books #scifi #BookSky

I had a copy of GIANT ROBO that was so badly dubbed it transcended bad and became magic so I read this and immediately remembered dear Gant Bobo and the Exported of Fairness

Beating the drum again that successful mass strikes take time to plan and organize, as definition and communication of goals is the biggest priority, so step one is basically “Herd One Million Cats” The UAW has been planning one to take place in 2028 for YEARS.

I'm watching the Westminster dog show. Did you know greyhounds are a near-universal blood donor for all other dog breeds? (Link also has a history of dog blood banks, which was...not always great.) ngap.org/ngap-stance-...

Since tomorrow is the official release day of INSIDE THREAT, here's my last reminder for a couple of months that I give away free #ebooks to people in financial need. I always close giveaways down after a new book comes out bc scammers remember I exist, but if you're reading this now, we're cool.

I'm lucky enough to have an ARC but also unlucky enough to have a serious phobia of pregnancy-related body outcomes, so I'm 100% the best test case for "Babies...um...I dunno if I can handle this." The horror is in the realms of politics and entrapment. There are almost no graphic body issues.

Wow, this is finally public? A must read for anyone in comics, esp. #webcomics.
