1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

HEY PUBLISHERS: pay attention to this entire thread; and recognize that a HUGE part of the problem is assigning comics projects to editors with no comics knowledge or experience. Editing comics is a discrete discipline, and when you don't recognize that, you fuck both creators and yourself over.

Agent friends! My first read of the year was Tasha Suri's THE ISLE IN THE SILVER SEA, and I loved it! If you have any YA projects with similar elements (lady knights, sapphic yearning, time loops, stories about stories, did I mention sapphic yearning??), please please send them my way! #MSWL

I can officially show you the cover of The Third Period Comeback now! (Spoilers: I love it.)

Lots of folks in publishing are returning to make the books tomorrow, so just a reminder to treat industry people like people in the New Year. Everyone is just trying their best. ❤️

Hi there. Isn't it interesting how the most popular TV shows and movies this year (Sinners, Kpop Demon Hunters, and Heated Rivalry) were all hyper specific stories, proving that "universal appeal" (i.e. appealing to white straight folks) is not actually that appealing?

“pivot to video” no thanks I’m gonna pivot to the woods

I take no leave of you, 2025. I send no compliments to your mother. You deserve no such attention. I am most seriously displeased.

I have watched Eve of the Daleks (a perfect and literally life-changing episode of television) and listened to This Year and I guess that means it's 2026 now. Good luck out there, friends. Let's do this.

Happy Zohran Mamdani is the Mayor of New York City to all who celebrate 😭❤️

My favorite thing about Frog and Toad is that it is the story of two men deeply and obviously in love with one another, drawn as a tribute to his lifelong partner by a gay man long before their relationship was socially sanctioned.

Three months ago, my dear friend Hani was murdered while trying to feed his family. His sister Faten has cancer, and sleeps in a freezing tent with her hands, feet, and eyes swelling more and more every day. I love this family with all my heart. I can’t keep watching them die. gofund.me/2550fc5e2

being trans is not a negative outcome and neither is being autistic

Vaccine rates for flu and covid are way down this fall but that shit is out there kicking asses left and right. Go get your jabs, you can do both at once!

I also feel like his body of work really disproves the persistent claim that joyful, hopeful, funny, romantic or lighthearted stories are inherently intellectually lesser and can't be Real Art

AMAZING. Time travel AND murder mystery??? SIGN ME UP.

Oh!! This is so lovely.

...yeah actually that sounds about right.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

this is how you lose the dish war

My family has been begging me for a Christmas list and this is the only thing I KNOW is going on it.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

It is the Day of Birth for @amandadeibert.bsky.social, who is one of my favorite humans on the planet. AND she somehow got to write Garfield, which means she is cooler than I'll ever be. Celebrate her birthday by preordering Love From Garfield here! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/783702...

Not going to let the Senate Democrats ruin my Sunday night. That’s the job of overwhelming anxiety about the coming week ahead.

Ah so the internet likes dapperly dressed young sleuths, I see? Well, in @mkengland.bsky.social's RILEY DARE: SLIGHTLY WITCHY SLEUTH, out fall 2026---

"I didn't want to say immediately it was me," fifteen-year-old Pedro Elias Garzon Delvaux said. "With this photo there is a mystery, so you have to make it last." n.pr/3WOLsWT

I'm actually crying is this what hope feels like???

NYTIMES CALLED IT FOR MIKIE SHERRILL OMG OMG OMG

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door, MOTHERFUCKERS.

[Exit Clown.]

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

I've only seen Decision Desk calling NJ and NYC so I don't dare hope yet but... but maybe?????

I need to release the breath I absolutely know I’m holding.

Dems in ARRAY

Half hour 'til polls close in NYC. You still got time if you hurry, friends. Get out there and vote. Find your poll site here! findmypollsite.vote.nyc

EVERYONE GO VOTE PLEASE THANK YOU!!

November? nah man i'm celebrating NOvember where i curl into fetal position and say "No, please god no," over and over again

This is why I share my "napkin math" crunching the numbers on the the top comics charts creative teams because this kind of "complacency and built-in prejudice" is there, too:

that’s a great mayor right there. pets a cat like no problem

#xfiles happy halloween! werewolf scully be upon ye archiveofourown.org/works/734579...

If you're in NYC and haven't voted yet and have time to vote today, I highly recommend doing so for both political reasons and the spoopy pigeon sticker.

New Yorkers vote today if you haven’t and you get this

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Is there a "coffee for canvassers" fund somewhere? Like pizza to the polls?

Every time I start feeling despair I am reminded that many, many people want to help, actually.

The above post applies to literally any interest or hobby you have that depends in any way on people having money. Meaning... VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING. Republicans are doing their best to destroy everything worthwhile in your life.

I hope everyone in the comics industry realizes that when SNAP benefits end, people will buy fewer comics, which will affect every single person in the business. If you love comics, please never, ever, ever vote for a Republican. Also give to your local food bank/mutual aid group if you can.

POV you’re still not married and your grandparents just found the nicest boy with a good job they want you to meet

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

I edited these, can confirm they are great. :)
