Do you know I've got a poetry collection coming out next year? & you can preorder it? (Some links below, but you can preorder worldwide.) Like tarot cards, witchy things, feminist rage (think Taylor's "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" & Fleetwood's "Silver Springs."), & mythology? You're in luck.

I gotta sit down. Just found out all these wonderful folks at Rhode Island Comic Con helped me raise over $86,000 for @trevorproject.bsky.social !!! Thanks everyone!! It was joyous to meet you guys and to see every bit of obscure Jon Cryer merch under the sun. And I signed most of it. #RICC

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

If it’s not a “fuck YES” then it’s a “fuck no.” 👆Best advice I got a few years ago when I started dating after a LTR ended, but it really applies to everything I give my time and attention!

Give me the word yes, show it to me with your teeth, let time unravel the space between us, let distance be damned, let caution fall to forgetting— I’m tired of playing it safe. #TinyPoem

One of the MANY reasons why we need school #librarians now more than ever! We are part of the solution www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Do good recklessly. Be kind. Be fierce. Be soft. The world will try to mash you into something else—something sharper.Sharpness has its place,but as a tool,not a foundation. Forgive—others & yourself. Love often means asking direct questions.It always means listening. Be better than yesterday.

Won't solve all the everything, but you know what? Tacos.

No notes

Reminder: Chat GPT translates to 'cat farts' in French. And work that comes from Generative AI is poopy.

Keep shaming every company you see using AI “art” to market themselves. Tell them it looks bad, shows they lack integrity, and tell them you don’t support stolen labor. Be relentless about it, remind them it’s unacceptable, get yourself blocked. Why? IT WORKS. Shame em & take your money elsewhere.

I have teams for one of my clients, I would rather *talk on the phone*

Darlings, remember: every day is Shut the Fuck Up Friday.

Laws certainly are funny. Who breaks and doesn't break them is incredibly telling.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years. His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds. A massive loss 💔

Suddenly, I don't need a phone anymore.

Everything feels bad, but today we make SOUP while blasting Life of a Showgirl.

Librarians, booksellers, & educators— when you talk about banned books, please focus on the thousands of CONTEMPORARY books that are being banned right now. For example…. #BannedBooksWeek

Look, I drew my late one-eyed geriatric dog as Vecna, and people love it. So of COURSE Ozzie becoming a tripawd needed to come with a redesign of his “Barbarian” character at level 20, a little grizzled but still a badass.

This applies to /life/, too- don't give up. Find the mistakes and fix them. Look at what you're doing, and change what isn't working. KEEP GOING FORWARD. You CAN do it. You WILL. Just believe, and fight for it.

I've seen companies fold. I've also been at companies who managed to turn themselves around. The experience that sticks with me is what my time at Marvel Entertainment taught me about how a company can survive itself: www.linkedin.com/pulse/turnar...

I remember when October had great art prompt, and November had a great writing prompt to motivate creators. A bloody shame the folks behind those hashtags ended up being such knobs. Also, you can draw & write whenever you want without a prompt telling you to do so. So, create. And keep creating.

OZZIE UPDATE: He is not a candidate for the clinical trial, but his bloodwork came back excellent today so his vet & I agree he is a good candidate to recover well from amputation. We have an oncology consult tomorrow; I went ahead & started a GoFundMe for his surgery. Please share!

Despite conflicting opinions, evidence shows that listening to audiobooks has similar cognitive benefits to reading books.

"Animal Farm" and "1984" grew out of author George Orwell's concerns about freedom being threatened not just by totalitarianism, but also by poverty and oppressive working conditions. A professor of philosophy and law explains: buff.ly/FMKXFE2 #LaborDay

Edward Bernays believed manipulation was the only way to lead. I believe he was wrong. I believe we can build a culture where leadership is not about engineering desire but protecting dignity. Where stories are not about consumption but communion. www.linkedin.com/pulse/bacon-...
