For when you’re done with the Hazbins …

Quick cartoon. I was hoping to stay unplugged this week but I saw some news and had to take a break to draw this out. I think we all needed to see it realized.

I’m reach out for mutual to pay for our room for the next week. I’ve got an insane stretch of work coming up and pretty desperately need to have lodging secured through it. We need to raise $800 by the end of the week. Any dollar helps but so does sharing this when you see it!

AO3 is also down, so between the two our whole acronym is affected

when will the lesson finally get learned? #cloudflare

Me at my skyline when every one of the topics of the day is horrible and the fun sites don’t work.

We're enduring this Cloudflare outage as best we can: in the fetal position, surrounded by decorative gourds.

Guys, don't worry — Dr. Doom and I prepared for the CloudFlare outage by constructing a new Internet out of all the remnants of various dead Internets We call it... BLUESKYWORLD Which province are YOU moving to???

I just logged the HAZBIN HOTEL: LIVE ON BROADWAY special onto Letterboxd and I'm calling it now that Richard Horvitz is going to be my Most Watched Actor this year.

I hate how everything is tied to everything else. Your favorite Star Wars movie is now a package deal with your preferred borders of Eastern Europe and favored faction in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because fuck you, that’s why.

Infuriating to think that in just two months, Conde Nast's Vanity Fair hired Nuzzi while Conde Nast's Vogue absorbed and neutered Teen Vogue, laying off a number of talented writers who can write, and think, circles around Nuzzi.

Moxxie: You don’t plan on crashing the Hazbin Hotel group’s reunion this time? Blitz: Weeeeell, see this one is on some fancy… Majestic Broadway theater or something so, eh, I wasn’t really intereste— Moxxie: *immediately bolts out* Blitz: 😏

Octavia at the very beginning of Seeing Stars always reminds me of my favorite The Onion headline.

Someone please make a gif of Sir Pentious shooting himself in the head and crying when only confetti comes out because that’s my reaction to every new Olivia Nuzzi excerpt.

Thread.

Asking for me, I need help, I'm located in Queens, NY

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Seeing the Goetia forced to work together would be pretty sick, though.

I just went to Vivian Wilson’s page since the first time since I followed her and … oh. I knew she followed Vivziepop but she’s a FAN fan.

I’m fucking dead.

I know it’s weird to be peeved by some other people’s beef, but it does bug me when certain people get treated like small beans when they did actively shitty things because … IDK, they’re young and on the right team or something.

I put way too much effort into this thing #Niffty #HazbinHotel #Baxter #MadMaid #BaxterXNiffty #NifftyXBaxter sirprecioustome.bsky.social‬

Does anybody else ever think about this?

ok folx, I'm very excited because tomorrow I have a column debuting in @flaminghydra.com. TEETH BEACH will be a monthly short comic about *gestures to general state of everything* 1/

OK, you all are my friends (for values of friends) and I've recommended over 15+ of my favorite books. Hope you enjoy!

And finally, I've left a lot of other 5-star books out, but I'm going to highlight an impulse read that knocked my socks off: POSSESSION by A.S. Byatt. The plot is exciting, the story has a lot of insightful things to say about academia and I'm still blown away by the poetry. LOVE IT!

I wasn't much of a reader as a kid, but a favorite book was CATHERINE, CALLED BIRDY, about a knight's daughter who is constantly fending off her father's attempts to marry her off with hilarious results. I got a lot of stares when I kept reading this book at school and laughing. Couldn't help it.

I'm so sad I'll skip ahead to a more recent 5-star rating: THE DISASTER ARTIST (i.e. THE ROOM memoir). If you liked the movie adaptation and/or were let down by the movie, the book is SO much more mind-boggling. Consider it on audiobook so you can hear Greg Sestero do his mom's French accent.

I also see I gave 5 stars to the 4th, 7th and 10th volumes of SANDMAN. (So the one where Morpheus inherits Hell, the one with Delirum and the end of the series.) I don't plan to get rid of them; I don't know when I'll reread them. Sometimes when I watch Hellaverse I remember this series and get sad.

When I was a baby I tried to review some webcomics for SEQUENTIAL TART I liked, only to have a lot of those webcomic creators get really pissy about being criticized. I was ready to give up on the medium entirely when I read the heartbreaking memoir MOM'S CANCER. I'm so glad I did.

I'm on the part of my library where I started adding graphic novels and I'd be remiss if I didn't talk about WATCHMEN. I know it's a basic bitch answer but it truly is THAT GOOD, got better with every read, and is the reason I still have many of my friends. Also, if you hate Rorschach fight me.

Look, kickboxing might have ended hours ago but that was the hardest kickboxing session ever, OK? I'm still recovering. Anyway, going to add a few more 5 star book retrospectives here. :)

Damn it, the guy I invented to get mad at turned out to be real. :(

Simba from The Lion King is a Moses figure. He was raised as a prince, flees home to avoid a murder rap, finds a new home for himself with a different group far from the land he was raised, then receives a message from beyond that calls him home, where he confronts the king and saves his people.

Let's also keep in mind that since MTG is an avowed hard core coo-coo-bananas antisemite, leaning into Jeffrey Epstein being a supervillain infiltrating the government and controlling all the elites dovetails perfectly with her beliefs.

This woman harassed school shooting survivors and called them liars because they advocated for gun control. She revealed her character when she believed she could act with impunity. Until she denounced all of that and actively makes amends, she is no ally

Long live Yaoi

I'm avoiding putting most of the books I read for college on here, but I remember this being pretty unique and part of my favorite college writing class. THE MIDNIGHT DISEASE is a nonfiction memoir that talks a lot about the science behind hypergraphia and writer's block. Would love to revisit.

Also, things may have drastically changed since the book came out. LUCKY makes me sadder now that we know the real ending. The author went through something horrible, portrayed it masterfully and thought she did the right thing ... and now we know she (& the justice system) made a terrible mistake.

I'm not a huge Stephen King fan, and I understand people who prefer Stanley Kubrick's movie (and King didn't cover himself in glory with his own adaptation), but damn I really did like novel of THE SHINING. The flashbacks and intergenerational abuse stuff really got me.

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

No picture for this one, but I at one point found three Chaim Potok novels: THE CHOSEN, MY NAME IS ASHER LEV and DAVITA'S HARP worthy of 5 stars. I don't think I'd find them perfect now but they're all good stories and portraits of a certain era of Jewish American life.

I ... don't remember why I gave LIFE AFTER GOD 5 stars. I don't really remember much of this one at all except for one image of kids relaxing in a pool in the suburbs and feeling at peace with the universe and I think I liked the idea of finding something profound in something mundane.

OK, I think this is going to be the last English class coded one. I remember A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN in segments more than in full, but I really liked how well it described the feeling of growing up, and as someone whose grandparents grew up in New York this felt like a picture into their lives.
