This is right in my Q zone.

Hey! Want a sneak peek of CLOAK OR DAGGER? Check it out here! aiptcomics.com/2025/09/22/x...

I keep reading think pieces on the current state of affairs and I don’t think anyone needs two thousand words to understand what’s happening right now. It’s essentially just the Jenga problem. Jenga relies on everyone wanting the tower to stay upright, to not make it fall. Now play with a toddler.

*lights cigarette* *inhales* You wanna know about Cloak or Dagge, kid? Fine. I’ll tell ya. But you’re gonna regret this conversation. *exhales dramatically*

Ma’am, respectfully, how many working level creatives do you know? We are literally living hand to mouth while hoping that we can somehow outplay, outwit, outlast AI.

Tucker Carlson is out here speaking sense. What the fuck is happening?

I hope the last few months has emboldened people to start writing whatever fucked up shit they want to because we're all going to be in work camps enduring our two minutes of government approved hate as our syphilitic boss talks about how great America is and we nod along for our daily cup of gruel.

just want to add that this all started when they fired Amber Ruffin from the White House Correspondents dinner

Why does Charlie Kirk’s widow look like she wants a coat made out of Dalmatian puppies?

G. No contest.

Van Hollen is a real one who’s been going to the mat all year. Dems are already doing much worse. At least Van Hollen has a spine. 👍🏽

Wow. Thats a lot of racism and it’s not even very clever. Can’t imagine their books are very good with that absolute lack of creativity.

Today! I’ll be at Peabody Heights Brewery in Baltimore for some hot book panel action! Full schedule here: baltimorebookfest.com/full-stage-s...

Today a lot of olds are learning about brain rot and welcome to the groyper gooner chud horror.

Tomorrow!

Great, so koalas are going to have vaccines meanwhile we’ll be over here rolling around in the mud, injecting bleach and drinking raw milk while hoping the angry sky daddy spares us from getting the pox. 😂🥳💀

Look! You can ask me questions about the upcoming CLOAK OR DAGGER mini. This definitely won’t be a mistake. 🤣

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!) Receipts: zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...

Ugh. I don’t want AI. I want Pokémon.

There is an irony in working on big IP in that you get so much vitriol thrown at you (usually for just showing up and not being white, male, and straight) but having a singular out of pocket opinion can lead to a book being cancelled. Life is still and forever will be unfair. Welcome to comics.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re a creator of color or a woman or queer or maybe just a little annoying they will find a reason to fire you. We can’t all be Chuck Wendig, kiddos, and even his privilege only carried him so far.

A lot of people in the US are figuring out the difference between being a liberal and a leftist tonight.

Did he die, tho?

I fell like Americans have forgotten about acid rain. Like, I read about that shit in my Weekly Reader when I was 8 and I was instantly pro-EPA. Now we’re dismantling it and about to have melting statues again. 🙃

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

In your 20s you have the ability to buy your own booze and no fear of your rapidly approaching mortality. Plus, best case scenario nothing hurts yet. Go wild. Have an IPA and ride go karts. 😂

Self care in your teens: buying a new Wet n’ Wild eyeliner then finding someone to buy a bottle of Boone’s farm Self care in your 30s: getting a massage and buying a nice bottle of wine. Self care in your 40s: refreshing your Botox and hitting up the dispensary for the edibles special.

does the new york times take you seriously and is your publisher paying to nominate you for a national book award? congratulations you write literary fiction. sprayed edges and viral on booktok is the best you can hope for? great you write genre

One of the facts missing from all of the articles about red states sending in National Guard troops is that for many states the National Guard is basically a jobs program for unskilled laborers. When federally activated that bill isn’t covered by the states. www.nationalguard.mil/Portals/31/R...

SFWA is going to Baltimore Book Festival on Sept 13! At 2pm, the SFWA Stage with @isisasare.bsky.social features Leslye Penelope, Be Steadwell, @justinaireland.com, Morowa Yejidé, and @christianek.bsky.social for Magical Realism & the History of the Charmed & Capitol Cities. 👀 Don't miss out!

Busy yesterday so I missed that Anthropic had settled. Figures. LLMs have violated thousands of copyrights; they *knew* it would kill them if it went to trial. Anyway, the Authors Guild has some useful info here: authorsguild.org/news/what-au...

Let’s hope that money get sent straight to the copyright holder and not the publisher…🥴

Here’s a lovely list of backlist Alternate History! RUST IN THE ROOT is on it so you know it’s good. reactormag.com/backlist-bon...

Going to get my Covid and flu shot today and might get a few extra vaccines just for fun. Shingles? Nope don’t want that! Pneumonia? Had it once, just awful. GIMME ALL YOUR SCIENCE! SHOOT IT RIGHT IN MY VEINS!

Man, this whole moral code thing is really fucking up my chances to be anything more than Hamburger Helper rich.

How to record ICE: 1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE. 2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video. 3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS 4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How? 5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked. @eltragon.bsky.social

Yes! More Friend-tasy or even Frenemy-tasy. 😆

Honestly, the absolute worst thing about a trend in books is not the trend itself, it's publishers dumping every last resource into that singular trend and forgetting that readers like variety.

Has anyone made a list of newer fantasy without romance? Because I really want to read about overthrowing a kingdom without having to skip past two-thirds of a book of fucking. (I am not anti-Romantasy. I am just BORED with it).

Fortune says Anthropic worth $183B after raising an addl $13B investment. The company said it plans to use the money to improve a lot of its services, but you know what it didn’t say? That it intends to use any of that money to pay back authors in its settlement re the copyright violation lawsuit.

“Ana Mardoll reply guy” took me OUT

Today is a good day to cancel your Atlantic subscription and use that money on nonprofit outlets producing good journalism during these times, such as @propublica.org, @themarshallproject.org, @insideclimatenews.org, @thecity.nyc, @thebaltimorebanner.com, @thetnholler.bsky.social, @revealnews.org

Happy Labor Day! Today, we celebrate workers and the power of the labor movement in securing fair wages, safe workplaces, and better lives for people across the country. 🛠️💪 #UnionStrong

I wrote a book about fascism, the trap of poverty, and how little we care about the military. One editor called it depressing. Another said it needed a hero. Recorded published it as an audio original and a few people have asked for it as an ebook. Here you go, all ten of you: a.co/d/21lgHYP

Not gonna vote for him for dog catcher much less president so you all better find someone who isn't a heartless asshole
