Aw man, a Boston-area cartoonist is having a _really_ rough one and needs our help ❤️

Two copy editors high-fiving so hard right now

Absolutely over the moon about this. If you've not read my HUGO NOMINATED book-length essay on Sandman, it remains free to all at www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/the-cud...

Thank you @brooklinebooksmith.bsky.social for hosting @ricksteves.bsky.social last night! He spoke for a couple of hours and it was half time capsule travel snapshot and half commentary on global politics and health. Can’t wait to read his new book ❤️ brooklinebooksmith.com/book/9781641...

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

So great to see JFK airport still has mask vending machines, which have 3M Auras!

I am so lucky to live in Cambridge and have so many of my evenings end with “And then I just wound up walking all the way home.” 💖

Movie night with @fastxpart2.bsky.social was the 1981 Soviet animated movie *The Mystery of the Third Planet*, and that was a colorful experience. 🚀 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mys...

adulthood is just a series of reminders to replace various filters

I’ve been in the doldrums for a while and oh wow, The Cartoonists Club graphic novel was exactly what I needed to read right now 😍 shop.scholastic.com/parent-ecomm...

DAWG I’M STUCK IN THE FRATLABOR 1

soot sprite cupcakes!

MICE applications are open!

ME: I’ve been on estradiol for 8 years, but this administration is making finding a provider difficult. MY NEW ENDO, BROTHER CADFAEL: *nodding solemnly* Yes, my lady, the tyrant’s capricious winds do bend all, and break many. Well! Fret not, for I have for you this day a draught of mare’s urine

Editing a ton of copy about healthcare revenue cycle management and every time I hit “bad debt” my brain starts singing “Bad Time” by Grand Funk Railroad youtu.be/SwEUXNS-k2s?...

Ooh, my interests - Boston/Cambridge stuff and novelty!

As a therapist and a healthcare worker, chatbots are becoming a public health crisis, and I’m tired of hearing people who don’t see the harm every day explain why this is totally fine and just like people pearl-clutching over cellphones. It’s getting worse and we haven’t scratched the surface.

Death doula, the mic rula, the old schoola, you want a RIP, I’ll bring it to ya

Nothing motivates people on college campuses more than free food.

Aw, damn! What a unique thing, gone

Six years since my sister died. COVID⇒blood clot⇒pulmonary embolism⇒dead. No ventilators, not even enough tests unless you were already in deep distress. None of it needed to happen, and the country elected the same assholes to run it, now partnered with anti-mask/anti-vaccine shitheads. She was 45

Had a vivid dream where Lieutenant Sulu was an Emeritus Professor in the UMass department of mechanical & industrial engineering, & everyone was just so proud to have a former member of the Enterprise crew on the faculty.

I’ve been informed this is the plot of Dune

Hey so anybody here know about the Gallaudet 11? www.nasa.gov/missions/pro...

Hell yeah, this was a delight 💖

All of this. The way our work lives, in my household, have changed since 2022 or so is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone. We’re an illustrator and designer who’ve felt it majorly. We were vocal. No one listened. Even ignored because… who cares? No clue or care until it affects them directly.

Thank you to this short video by @maklelan.bsky.social about the Ethiopian Bible for introducing me to my new favorite word “paralipomena” 🤩 youtube.com/shorts/0s0Th...

Nice, I learned about the term “flexi disc” and now I don’t have to call it “that floppy record thing that came with Billy and the Boingers Bootleg” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexi_d...

TIL that the song “Along Comes Mary” (1967) is about the devil’s lettuce and I feel like a dingus for never having realized that before now youtu.be/URUd5RUAz1I?...

five more minutes, and then I’ll get my shit together, for real this time /presses snooze

I saw an ad for the NY lotto, (specifically the one where if you win they pay you for life) that was encouraging people to play so they could possibly afford a yearly PHYSICAL and it made me want to throw up

Just passed a person on the street wearing a moustache, a skirt, and a Jughead crown, representing such a hyperspecific overlap of aesthetics that I feel like I could find their Furaffinity account

Tonight in the ai reading group i was reminded of something that happened in 2006 after I dropped out of college, when I was living in a run-down old house next to jb alberto's in rogers park with a bunch of dudes. it was, as you can imagine, not clean.

Urgent care is picking up more and more basic health care as clinics and hospitals close and people lose insurance and access to preventive care. This is an interesting look at an urgent care that offers medication abortion to offset what would have become an abortion desert in Michigan.
