This bothers me more and more as I get older. It is so normal to change our minds when we encounter new information. Everyone’s so scared of being a little embarrassed at not knowing, but it’s fine and normal to not know everything.

Kinda felt like molten trash soup yesterday during my actual birthday, but luckily today I am well enough to celebrate the only way I know how: with my annual rewatch of Catwoman (2004).

"ELEVATED HORROR" DIRECTOR SEEING ANY WOMAN OVER THE AGE OF 45: ahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AIEEEE!!!! AAAuuUGHHHH!H! OUGHGHGHGGHHGHGHGGHHG

Starting a nonprofit where I teach people age 50+ how to lower their devices from max brightness when on night transportation.

Umm only like a week left! Consider it!

Trying to conserve phone battery but I needed to check in to share that this tour guide decided to have a Swastika Segment and the commentary was Not Good

Four hours into a twelve-hour tour and our driver/tour guide has been spending about half of it prefacing comments with “not to be a conspiracy theorist” and “subtly” pushing conservative talking points. send help

I still haven't read all my 2024 SBCF comics, but I prioritized reading the remaining ones who have artists also exhibiting in this year's, and I'm so glad I did! @peonygent.bsky.social's 'autobiography has become a stone in my shoe' was thoughtful and lovely. excited to check this one out too

I'm still sorting out the site dressing, but that's less important than the fact that I'm putting my writing somewhere again:

#nokings Portland frog brigade

it's also never lost on me when stories that "suspend" the realities of what queer people face also erase the queer people more visibly impacted and shaped by structures being ""erased""

this also comes right along on the heels of "you don't have to include queerphobia in your story if you don't want to" and I'm like. yes okay yes I hear you. true. the thing is I want to, really bad, and are you going to also be okay with that?

tbh I don't think this is that niche but man we gotta make LIVING accessible for people who don't have smart phones and/or data. I'm talking bus schedules, restaurant menus, doing your laundry, accessing social security and unemployment, all of it. we goddamn GOTTA dude

me vaguely remembering some comics drama that transpired in the last year but it seems the relevant posts might've been deleted, and I'm left wondering if I made it up in my head

so I just finished reading Hello Sunshine by @keezyyoung.bsky.social and it's my favorite comic of the year. and I've read a lot of great comics this year!! exceptional

I'll never financially recover from this (it's fine)

Breaking: Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, the legendary transgender activist and veteran of the Stonewall uprising who dedicated her life to the liberation of trans people, especially Black trans women, has died at 78.

Rising from my tomb of relative comics obscurity thanks to it being Shortbox Comics Fair time of year

Happy international lesbian day. ❤️

I don't often end up in cozy game fandom community spaces online but, whenever I end up drifting there, the commentary I often see...frightens me

Playing a cozy game theoretically set IRL, but in it there's a subplot where you visit a character recovering in the hospital from a hip replacement, and she's in there resting for over two weeks. My mom got booted out from hers in less than 24 hours, video games really ARE an escapist fantasy

Don't sleep on Michelle Wu, one of this country's most quietly effective climate leaders, cruising to a second term in Boston. It's telling that business interests tried and failed to stop her and are pouting about it now Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

My first time at O’Hare and my “wow, that sure is a character” tally is Very high

omg my first ever instance of someone asking to take my seat. I’d only heard rumors of this on reddit

bold of me to assume this flight had screens lmao

The wave of calm I feel any time a flight I’m on has a gay flight attendant. As nature intended.

Hoping I can watch Conclave on my flight. As soon as I saw the trailer for that movie, I instantly knew I’d want to watch it, but only on a plane. And I’ve been waiting ever since.

Love to clock out of work for a much needed vacation only for the current admin hours later to announce its intention to nuke your industry off the map. Extended vacation incoming??

My character design for Pedro and his superhero form Tough Marvel from DC GO's The Magical Mysteries of Shazam! I wanted to share this for months because I'm so freaking proud of it 😭

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

Just a periodic reminder that it's a good idea to bookmark your favorite artists' sites, sign up for their newsletters, and follow them everywhere you can. (My links are in my profile & pinned post!). Because of the current climate of censorship you never know where we'll get kicked off of next.

Reminder that muting specific words on social media for a day, a week, a month, or even forever can be laudatory self-care.

Mfs will be like 'It is my life's greatest dream and would be its highest honor to work on Batman or the X-men' or whatever. Look around and see what this shit is. Who gets kept around/protected vs who is kicked at first sight. Consider having dreams beyond being fodder for the Imperial IP lands.

This sounds wacky but it is backed up by science.

Remember that you don’t have to post your first reaction and Bluesky is forever even if you delete

Keanu to himself: I can't believe you're gone. It's supposed to me and you in the final 2 seats #bb27

extremely grateful to emerald fennell and her bonkers wuthering heights adaptation promo for generating some truly hysterical responses from all corners of hobbyist social media. book fans and historical accuracy in fashion nerds have joined hands in making the funniest commentary possible

By the way, if you want to support truly independent media criticism/commentary/shenanigans, please subscribe to @popheist.com. $7/month goes a very, very long way towards paying writers and keeping this thing afloat. I'm just saying!

We made our goal, with about two weeks left to go! Please continue to support us, because that means I can hire more fabricator labor which means I will personally have time to build very small and indulgent pieces of furniture. www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

You deserve rest 💙 #art #comics

they just said whatever in the old superhero comics

I've picked up and subsequently abandoned a number of games lately, many of them RPGs, and I find myself wondering in my esteemed age--did I used to have the patience for games with a million fiddly mechanics? Or would I have always bounced off these?

For God's sake like the pictures of the dog (also some anecdotal Web 3.0 advice incoming)

I pride myself on my professionalism in comics. I don't talk shit about books I don't enjoy. I am happy when folks get gigs even if I wish I landed them. So when I say the transphobic bullshit in the new BLOODSHOT #1 comic is disgusting and should have never made it to print. Shameful shit.
