The best thing you can do for yourself this new year is to curate whose opinions you consume. Stop consuming so many different peoples thoughts and opinions, your brain is not meant to process hundreds of people's thoughts let alone thousands on a daily basis, this exhausted you for a reason.

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: Hi, I’m my own umbilical cord!

New year, same me, but maybe less raccoon-ish and something more classy, like a tanuki 😅

In hindsight, this joke may have been too niche for 645 in the morning 🤣

I guess since Amazon has just decided they’re going to use AI to have businesses sells thing on their site whether they want to or not, I have to say if you ever see any of my stuff (I doubt it will, but just in case), I will never sell on Amazon & any listings are not mine.

I'm still fired, looking for work. But aside from writing comics, I've also started with Blender. Might be opening commissions if I get better at it. Hi, I'm Jerna, a comic writer and Blender artist. You can find my comics at jernacious.itch.io and my portfolio at jarnevanvooren.com/portfolio-2/

"post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains."

Was working on a way to show two characters saying something simultaneously that isn't just a balloon with two tails, and I think I figured out a pretty fun way to do it:

Guns of Brixton is a super fun take on the classic zombie apocalypse, from the viewpoint of a Riot Grrl-style punk band out to cause chaos, when chaos finds them! Check it out today on comix.one

Reading the Absolute Flash trade today and shout out to Tom Napolitano for this delightful bit of lettering showing Grodd and Wally overlapping spoken and telepathic dialogue.

Almost 1,000 copies given away so far 💜

You know what, I said @byrononeal.com can make his own list, but I'll put together a thread of my favorite Byron-hosted episodes. See below. Maybe listen while you're wrapping gifts? @comicbookyeti.com

Good god, y'all. 300??

Hell yeah!! Me and @radokely.bsky.social are on someone's best-of list!! If you want to see for yourself, why not check it out for yourself at this link? jernacious.itch.io/bar-veuve-no...

It’s “best comics of 2025” megalist day over at TCJ; here’s my list

Just saw a video of another music group “fixing” Baby It’s Cold Outside & I just shake my head at this point. It’s a classic example of applying a modern lens to a nearly 100 year old song. The two characters are playing coy & making excuses for the woman to spend the night because 1940s…

A piece of advice I read early in my poetry writing is that specificity can make something more powerful and more relatable. It seems counterintuitive that something so unique to our own experiences = more relatable, but readers generally like that more and it feels more real.

@thecomicjam.bsky.social is great because all of the letterers in there are big typography nerds and we will judge your office’s hastily cobbled together poster 🤣 “Hahaha this guy doesn’t even know about kerning”

I started digging into my family history for the last 3ish weeks and I’ve already learned this 🤣 Ancestry.com is great but to truly get a full picture, I’ve had to start requesting books from other libraries across the country & find the few historical societies that have databases.

Nearly 900 copies given away so far 😌🫶
