emotionally im still not ready to do my taxes 😭😭😭

I am going to be annoying and boost this gofundme until the funeral next week even though every time I do I am gutted because I have to see the only father I have ever known face and know that he is gone. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Happy Friday the 13th! 🖤🖤🖤

this really is what it’s like

a miniature therapy horse would do worlds for my emotional stability right now, I'll just say that but i think a dog or cat would too im really just tired of being a person among people, i just want to cuddle puddle with fluffy friendly creatures

Me: Hello, I am here to do the tower. Clea: You're weak. Me: okay. Clea: COWARD. Me: OKAY! Clea: hey what's this (puts her finger on my chest) Me: Oh, I do- (gets flicked) FOR FUCK'S SAKE. YOUR TRICKERIES!!!

your month your staring cat caffeine source www.makeship.com/products/sta...

dealing with a really rough mental health week and cant sleep, but trying to look at the bright side that im up early enough to get a firni donut and huge breakfast platter from the nearby halal coffee shop that is always so busy it sells out before noon the scales may yet balance

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

what's your favorite Oddly Specific Curse to hurl when someone is being a jerk but you don't want to go Too Far on insulting them? mine is "i hope both sides of your pillow are warm and also inexplicably damp"

This is still going on. Please delete, block, and report as spam. Categorically, I am not emailing anyone to ask them to join a book promotion. That is a scam.

Time for a new one! I'm Zoe. I write comics! I've written for IDW, Marvel, Tiny Onion, Dark Horse, Titan and BOOM on licenses like Black Cat, Power Rangers and Godzilla as well as original series like BLADE MAIDENS and SINK YOUR TEETH IN Always looking for work! Contact: [email protected]

On the one-year anniversary of his detention by federal authorities, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and First Lady Rama Duwaji welcomed Mahmoud Khalil, his wife Noor, and their baby boy, Deen, to Gracie Mansion to break the fast together.

life REALLY got away from me for a minute there but i'm so excited about this - this is a killer team to be working on a book about dinosaurs, and i already know it features some of the weirdest prehistoric animals ever. like, i get chills thinking abt prehistoric kangaroos. also regular kangaroos.

Book #2 has been formally announced! I'm beyond thrilled to be working with @stievenvdp.bsky.social on HOW TO SURVIVE DEEP TIME, an illustrated bestiary of bizarre prehistoric critters!

stop casting white men as characters that were almost certainly not white challenge

as ever, thanks to the restaurant that sent me enough silverware to tide over a small family but this entire order is for me, a growing boy, and i only need one set

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work! Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too. That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

it's really interesting that no matter how many tantrums Trump throws, Russia's tariffs have remained solidly at 0% hard not to think we're just absolutely cooked the longer this goes on

my editorial villain origin is finding a panel which has both the MTL and the "edited" version of dialogue overlaying each other bc someone was clearly instructed to edit the sentence by finding synonyms but failed to understand the nuances of word choice and narrative tone graaaaaaAAAAAAHHHHHH

god, mtl is the worst. it's NOT good enough. it make stupid mistakes and removes important context. so so many times the right choice is to add a translator's note rather than looking for the next best word. i'm so so annoyed to find so many licensed english translations are using mtl when +

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

Puffing? Jiggling? fuck if I know

chronic illness things: not realizing you have a TERRIBLE infection and have for weeks until it's found through a routine UI for medication refills its fine everything is fine

One of the lessons I hope people take away from Jesse Jackson’s life and the outpouring of remembrances small and large is that progress is made and measured in every act and utterance against oppression and not measured solely in legislative or electoral victories.

Just about 1.1 million views right now of an interview that nobody was supposed to see.

the self own of the person who recorded this posting it and instead of getting validation creating an internet legend is really what i think the internet does best

every day is a good day to be reminded i get super carsick now that i don't drive anymore

SURPRISE I am THRILLED to be writing SEVEN WIVES, the launch title of IDW's new Crime line of books. Doing this pitch-black fringe Mormon cult murder mystery with @wyrmsfornerves.bsky.social has been an incredible experience and I can't wait for y'all to read it. www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

you know it's a wrap when you go to do something i think will be simple but end up on a github repository

no this is me

We have now officially DOUBLED our funding goal I want to say thank you, so much. SINK YOUR TEETH IN is a story I've wanted to tell for years, and having never done a Kickstarter before I was a little nervous before launch. This is such an incredible show of support and I am impossibly grateful.

if you're an author attending BookCon this year (or, to be honest, any other ReedPop events, which include NYCC), and would like to add your name to the letter: forms.gle/V7m2YbcGguAY...

I pitched SINK YOUR TEETH IN for yesrs for various publishers (many of which I have since worked with and have nothing but nice things to say) so it is Extremely validating on so many levels to see our Kickstarter not only fund but hit *200%* funding with over a week left BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS

groans as i try to figure out a new website url bc nothing can be straightforward and simple, not for logistical reasons, just bc my brain can't resist a challenge and will in fact make one up when something seems too easy

publishers who localize comics would be so much better hiring fan translators to do the work than... whatever keeps happening to make "hyung" be translated to "bro" in the official versions and idk why they don't. fans who love these so much they do it for free won't ever mislead you*

Lot of attention and new followers today, and want to keep the kind vibes going and pay it forward. Will donate ALL proceeds from Cameos until 2/13 to Lancaster Neighbor Fund, who supports immigrants right in my city of welcome. Kindness onward. cameo.com/bryceremsburg
