People who own pugs who don’t let them sleep in the bed: why. They’re bred to be lapdogs and companions. Let them do their job 😤

Infuriating that I need to put on sunscreen even when it's cloudy. What do you mean I need to protect myself from a coward who won't even show their face

One of the best parts of living around the Bay Area is being artistic peers with Josue Cruz. They draw bande dessinée quality comics, they're THEE most compassionate person, and also incredible on camera??? (And I'm not just saying that because they reviewed my book here :P) Ultimate triple threat
