I….. think that basket is looking at me.

The Aquarium of the Pacific answers questions you didn’t even know you had.

2025 was mostly garbage, but there were some good moments. One of my favorites was when a family of beavers built a dam in just a few days, saving the Czech Republic 30 million Czech koruna (US$1.2 million) for a wetland restoration project the government had been planning for 7 years. 🦫 🌿

The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:

Completed my kingfisher.

Oh to be made happy by a dish of fresh bugs and no knowledge of international politics.

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.

So, TL;DR: $ for war crimes 👍 $ for healthcare 👎 Did I get that right? 2026 so far going as expected? And now, off to work on a Saturday to make money that will go straight to my newly doubled insuarance bill.

There's nothing "radical" about wanting clean air and water and our public lands to not be owned by billionaire polluters.

The tree is down, the dinosaur is back, the pets are trying to adjust.

In 2025, GLAAD Award-winning & Eisner-nom'd publisher & media outlet Fanbase Press celebrated its 15th anniversary. We're grateful to our friends for sharing their thoughts on the past 15 years. We look forward to the next 15 & beyond! ~ @barbrajdillon.bsky.social & @comicbooksniffer.bsky.social

Part of what’s especially irritating about this is that it’s advertising AI mode and AI has definitely made things harder for especially early knitters. There are so many more sad posts in knitting group pages because of it!

Kitty Pryde and Lockheed wish you a Happy New Year 🎉 #commission

This is neat. I enjoyed using StoryGraph last year to track my reading. Might spring for the paid version this year.

Okay, let’s try this again. But good this time. Happy new year to all who are willing to give it another shot!

Oh right, a link would help! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/ec-blood-t...

GOAT goat!!!

Finished my last book of the year. Decided to end on a gentle note by reading something that operates like a calming agent delivered straight to my brain stem.

Man, the more I see about AI agents the more I wish it was possible to kick an AI agent. Gonna have to settle for flipping off a Waymo I guess.

As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.

This was great. Fantasy for adults but not because of sex and violence (although it had plenty of that) but because it actually dealt with what it means to wield power and operate without human (or lion) level consequences. Too bad the people who most need to read this wouldn’t understand it.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Be nice to your professional photographer friends and they might surprise you with a picture you don’t remember them taking that makes you look better than you ever do in real life.

Huh. No idea if this is true but its interesting. www.cbr.com/green-lanter...

You ready for our 2026 Valentines?? The art is ready for ya 😍 As with everything on our shop, sales of these valentines support @skypeascientist.bsky.social! This year's cards were designed by Philly artist @aprilfinfrock.bsky.social! Obsessed with how these turned out. order at SquidFacts.net

Somehow I got one more gift from @nathanielpiha.bsky.social today: this lovely little book! Nothing I love more than these tiny Gorey art books.

This has been on my TBR forever. Some pretty sentences. A lot of existential angst.

Here’s to 2026

There’s a creature dwelling deep within the tunnels.

Welp, it took a bit to figure out due to my wacky employment status but yup, my crappy healthcare is more than doubling in price. All this and they don’t pay for covid vaccines! Gotta love America

Night out in my old neighborhood for some fantastical cocktails.

We’ve got a Christmas forest in here

MELIA is spending her second Christmas at the shelter. Lets end 2025 with a bang! By finding her a forever adult only home with no dogs. Cats are ok. Shes an amazing, smart, beautiful dog. Please adopt her Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter (516) 785-5220 3320 Beltagh Avenue , Unit Wantagh, NY 11793

Also thrilled with this shirt which I first spotted in a photo of @robinkimball.bsky.social . Somehow @nathanielpiha.bsky.social tracked it down for me and I think it’s my new favorite.

I’m very lucky to have a partner who understands that comics belong under the tree and also that they come in many flavors. Much happiness to all who celebrate! Hope you all received great reads too!

So @nathanielpiha.bsky.social got the cats a GIANT cat tree and got us a bookcase. Needless to say this is not where we hoped Charlotte would choose to be. Cats, man.

It’s finally happened. I’ve entered some sort of dream reality where MD 20/20 has been rebranded as fun.

Only one week left to get Art of Dubious Quality while helping some very good dogs! Link below!

This guy lived a very interesting life but my goodness could this book have used a copy editor.

A comic book is honestly the perfect thing to roll up and stick in a stocking.

Social Media is a dried-up corpse of what it once was, and I keep forgetting that I have a mailing list! There are some projects coming up in 2026 that I'm VERY excited to talk about -Sign up so I can tell you about them. eepurl.com/tAsI5

IKEA still has Halloween stuff on sale so I got myself a Christmas present. 🕷️
