It just hit me that in my seven years with Rocketship Entertainment, I’ve had the opportunity to promote books from a whole host of amazing creators, as well as comics from companies like Legendary and Top Cow. 10-year-old Jed’s mind would be blown. Hell, 45-year-old Jed’s mind blown. Pretty cool.

Big hair chop last Friday. Got my punk fairy mullet back. 🤘🧚💇‍♂️

Rest in peace, James Van Der Beek. I watched a ton of Dawson’s Creek growing up. He was a great actor as he grew in his craft and, by all accounts, he was a good person.

Last semester, I had three students come up to me after class to tell me that I had the most interesting lore of anyone they’d met. I had to decipher what that meant, but I think it was a compliment. 😂

If you’re sickened by the incompetent, mean-spirited, lying racist occupying the Oval Office, contact your Senators and Representatives. It’s incredibly easy. Will it change anything? Who knows? But it can’t hurt and you can let your voice be heard.

Read Ultimate Endgame #2 yesterday from Marvel Comics. I was one class away from graduating with a philosophy major in undergrad, but another class conflicted with it. Anyway, as a philosophy nerd, it was neat to see Plato’s Theory of Forms casually referenced. Well done, @denizcamp.bsky.social!

Journalist Don Lemon was just arrested in connection to protests at a Minneapolis church earlier this month. Lemon even wasn’t protesting, anyway; he was reporting on the protest. Lemon has been very vocal against the Trump administration. 1/

New hair! Looking very much like a mini French bob. Didn’t intend that, but not mad about it. Went with micro bangs. Always wanted them and decided to give them a try. Might stick with the French bob thing for a bit with short bangs and a little longer with the sides.

Today is 135th anniversary of the Wounded Knee Massacre. Remembering the nearly 300 Lakota people who were killed by U.S. Army soldiers that day. 1/

All I want for Christmas is for the @whmpodcast.bsky.social gang to do a show in Kentucky in 2026.

Went to the doctor’s office on Tuesday. Lymph nodes surgery follow-up. No cancer in the lymph nodes. No radiation needed. Hell freaking yeah. ❤️

Been catching up on some reading while recuperating from my surgery. I just read Ultimates #18–the title’s latest issue—from Marvel. This panel is from that book. It’s referencing a fictional Earth, but it hits strangely close to home. Damn, I love this series so much. @denizcamp.bsky.social

We watched this today. Excellent movie. It’ll stay with you for a while. #Nuremberg

We spoke with creator @rubenbolling.bsky.social about the first two volumes of his beloved comic Tom the Dancing Bug, now on Kickstarter through @cloverpress.bsky.social! www.freaksugar.com/interview-ru...

"Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good." --Vaclav Havel

"Ethan got knocked down. When he stood up again, his mouth was full of dirt, and he had taken a knee to the eye, and his nose was bleeding. But he was still holding onto the ball." --Michael Chabon, "Summerland"

As a history teacher and writer, I’m begging you all: Stop putting the American Roaring 20’s on a freaking pedestal. Quit having Great Gatsby parties. The 1920’s were terrible. The 2020’s are headed that way. God, every time I see this garbage I want to scream.

Halloween night viewing: Society (1989) with syncable commentary from the @whmpodcast.bsky.social. Always a fun time!

At this point, sadly, I’ve lost most of my interest in Stranger Things. I’ll be watching this last season because I’ve already invested so much time in the story. HOWEVER, if the shows kills off Steve—the best dad to an unruly bunch of kids—I riot.

Here comes GLITTER AND GOLD for all of you 𝗝𝗘𝗠 & 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗠𝗦 fans! Be sure to sign up on our Kickstarter to get notified about the launch of this truly outrageous campaign featuring exclusive, premium collections and one-of-a-kind merch, coming this Tuesday, November 4th! bit.ly/JemPreLaunch

I was friends with a guy from high school on FB. We were friends IRL. Not close, but still friends. We hung out a little post-hs, too. Saw his profile as a mutual friend on FB. Hadn’t thought about him in a while. Checked out his page. Full on MAGA. He was always an alterna-boy. “Down w/the man.” 1/

I’m off work to recuperate until next Monday and I have zero idea how to relax.

Cancer blows. Had my tongue surgery on Wed. All the cancer = gone, along w/a lot of tongue. There’s still a lot of tongue left, but it’s jarring to see. My fiancee is a speech path & thinks I’ll be talking like normal in a couple weeks. Is it weird to mourn my lost pieces of tongue? B/c I do.

You can get a full-colored, giclee commission of any 2 characters of your choice, drawn and digitally signed by Dalgeor?! It’s true! Secure yours and more in the #Kickstarter for Dalgeor’s Equus Siderae hardcover Volumes 1 and 2 graphic novels! www.kickstarter.com/projects/roc...

I had a major yesterday, so I treated myself with a haircut on Monday. It was time for a change from the shag mullet. Not sure what to call this. Shaggy pixie stacked in the back? Whatever we call it, I’m really digging it. 😊

Bummed that Marvel is shutting down its Ultimate line. Ultimate Spider-Man & The Ultimates are 2 of my favorite ongoing series right now. A happy Peter Parker as a family man? A group of familiar heroes reimagined in really interesting ways? Perfect. I love the books, so of course they get canceled.

Bring it.

Cancer blowssssss. Sigh. I took my few moments to yell at the universe. Now it’s time to be gangster.

For reasons, expect me to be over-the-top annoying in how often I’m going to be calling out bullshit in the immediate future. As one of my favorite lines from Modern Family states, “Life’s too short to be ruled by fear.”

I was to see #OneBattleAfterAnother, but man, I can’t stomach Sean Penn.
