If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

We turned away from the light when we invented a way to go online without the computer screaming in warning.

Every time Hegseth speaks I just think we need more direwolves. Something scary and ominous to leap out of the dark and remind us we're tiny and mortal. Maybe not literal wolves but maybe also wolves.

He won’t let her go. Unlike his other conspirators, Noem keeps receipts.

I regret to inform you that the trees have started sexytimes again.

If you learned your birth mom was the former goddess of Fate you'd make the Roger Rabbit eyes too. sidequested.com #comic #comics #webcomic #webcomics

Threads like this are a great hat tip to how Lovecraft's elder gods didn't drive you insane, they drove you so sane you could no longer ignore the massive inconsistencies and lies which we have to tell ourselves just to get through the day as a functioning social creature.

Watching James Talarico's acceptance speech and dang, this fellow can talk the talk.

Finally opened the Tupperware strata containing the 2013 Kickstarter bonus rewards.

We do this every summer! 100% works.

love to pick up my phone and see 5 - 10 different things each of which successively makes me angrier than I’ve ever been in my entire fucking life

Hey authors, I know y’all hate self-promotion, but when I see book promos in my feed being retweeted by friends I trust, I almost always click through to check it out, and if it’s on sale you have *really* good odds of me taking a chance on it, so, you know, you should do that more.

Year of the Horse ~ Limited Edition Giclee Print & original art! Here: kirbyscomicartshop.com/collections/... See you at @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social this Thurs-Sun!

I love how the public dynamic for @alepresser.com and myself is she's the excited but sensible hardworking artist-mom and I'm the weirdo whacknut ALLCAPS writer, when behind the scenes...

Crenshaw got primaried bc he wasn't an election denier and supported Ukraine over Russia. He wasn't far right enough. Crenshaw. It's fun but it ain't great.

What the everloving eff is in those files?!!

We're watching Roy Cooper's acceptance speech, which is pretty excruciating. Me: He's got less charisma than Mark Kelly. My husband: Hey now, Kelly is awesome. Me: Yeah but Kelly doesn't need charisma, he just has to point at the stars.

In two weeks, the first SIDEQUESTED #graphic #novel hits stores. If we reach a certain number of preorder sales, I lose a bet and have to acquire goats. And then put them in my yard. And then film it to show my lasting shame. Mistakes were made and continue to be made. sidequested.com/book/

you know how far you have to lumber to go from under a bridge to above the rim?

This is exciting! And scary! And mostly exciting! I've been doing my best to learn Brazilian Portuguese so I can talk to her husband and I am NOT READY!!!

Disgusted that "Elon Musk" is a real name for a real techbro. I have to come up with a name for one and there's no way, none whatsoever, I can beat that. Might as well be a name straight out of the Sith.

Instead of spraying for mosquitos this summer, try the Mosquito Murder Bucket! It's cheaper than paying a company and doesn't kill all of the beneficial insects in the area. #garden #gardening

He is beyond horny for nukes. Get him talking and he will segue into the inevitability of using them. Doesn't matter the enemy--nukes will be used. The watchmen, as crappy as they were, from his first term are gone, and the successful kidnapping of Maduro has convinced him he can pull anything off.

Live feed from exactly two weeks from tomorrow!

How can I be expected to show up for work when the omens are fell

In case you're wondering, the major news story on all major networks is "We don't know why this is happening." Even Fox is like, "....eeeeeeeeeeeh I guess."

We all have those moments when the last unkilled shred of hope lifts its head and is promptly bashed with a club.

Total eclipse of the full blood moon is tonight, in case you haven’t checked in on the doom portents lately.

Needed these tiny balls of joy today. #BloomSky #garden #gardening #flowers

Anybody putting together a long pitch for a commercial project should check out Every Cartoon Pitch and Writer's Bible. Unbelievably useful to see how shows move from concept to screen, esp. how writers frame characters within their settings.

The SIDEQUESTED book comes out in 15 days and I wrote up a little timeline of the publishing process.

It’s viciously grim how we had mostly put the fear of a nuclear war behind us. Sure, we had made new horrors but that particular one was dying—no one could be *that* short-sighted! You’d come up to the line but never cross it. Now we’ve got *that* fucking guy.

Gotta go to sleep but can’t sleep, clown might find the nukes.

This is one of the things I think Enormously Wealthy people should be doing: buying beautiful but derelict properties and dumping whole cash waterfalls of money into hiring local artists to restore them.

Holy cow, thanks Petrov!

Had one of those dreams that sounds like a meme, anyhow, Elon Musk and other rich dudes kept kidnapping people and asking why we hated them, like an inescapable focus group. When we told them, they said, “No that can’t be it.” and made us do summer camp arts and crafts.

me every single day

it’s probably fine that this meme is one of the top posts on every military Reddit sub right now

Dang, I had forgotten Alan Dershowitz gets a namedrop in SCREAM 2

I love Hanrahan's writing and how subtle yet UTTERLY fucked up his worlds are, like yes, hello, I'm minding my own business as a skeleton in the skeleton brigade, it's honest work but boy I miss my sense of smell.

It's very low-priority compared to everything else, but I wish I didn't get the kind of hiccups that sound like a baby pterodactyl screaming for its mother.

Urge to relitigate…past elections…rising…

None of this is legal, none of this is necessary, none of this is moral.

this just isn't sustainable, to lurch from crisis to crisis like this for the next three years

Really feeling the argument that “no good cops” also means “no good Americans” today.

Back in the early days of Trump I, a Twitter account labeled "President Villain" took Trump quotes and put them on comic panels of the Red Skull This pic was from late February 2017

Operation Epic Fury, or…
