Truth Emerging from Her Well to Shame Mankind

Working with Maya on the rollouts of The October Girl and Amelia Shadows was an absolute delight and I can't recommend her enough.

Maya is resourceful, insightful, and always looking to elevate the projects she is on to get the right eyes on them at the right time. Without a doubt part of one of the best teams I have worked with. If you are looking for someone you can trust with marketing your books, reach out to her.

Maya works her ass off and is so creative, warm, and passionate. She deserves nothing but the best and I am distraught I won’t get to bask in her light every day anymore. Every book she worked on was better for it. Comics may not deserve her but it sure needs her.

Anyone who gets the chance to bring Maya onto their team isn't just filling a marketing role--they’re gaining someone who can elevate the entire operation. She's a standout, and any organization would be lucky to have her.

Maya is one of the best in the business. Professional, kind, and always learning. She was a delight to work with and, in my opinion - as a writer with a ton of marketing/pr/biz dev experience - would be a great addition to any publisher looking to up their game. Hire her!

Rarely do you find someone as talented, passionate and just plain sound as Maya. She’d be a wonderful addition to any comic company. The real question is why you aren’t already calling her right now to make an offer.

This bums me out, too. Maya would be a great addition to any team--and goodness knows marketing is SO IMPORTANT to the comics ecosystem.

Maya is one of the best!! Any publisher would be better off with her on their team.

Hi there! Some news, but as of this morning, I am no longer with Mad Cave. I am eternally grateful for the past 4.5 years with you all, and with such an amazing team. Thank you so much for trusting me with marketing your books!

Hey folks, after nearly 4 years at Mad Cave, I was let go this morning. It was a wonderful time getting to work with an amazing list of creators. If we have worked together, please stay in touch. I am available for freelance editing and would love to work with you all in the future.

The Strokes played Coachella against a backdrop listing all the world leaders that had been assassinated by the CIA, a count of the number of universities bombed in Iran, and footage of the bombing of the last university in Gaza

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization

This is a message I never expected to or wanted to share. My partner @joehunter.bsky.social is currently in the hospital with a severe case of pneumonia, and while he is slowly on the mend, that time means a lot of money his family could use help with. Anything you can offer is deeply appreciated.

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

there should be a support group for people who have burnout because of Publishing

BEAT EVERY 1-UP is officially out today. I’m equal parts excited, thrilled, and honestly…relieved. This story has lived in my head and heart for so long, and letting it go out into the world feels surreal. I hope it makes you laugh, think, maybe feel a little too much--

I have finally been given clearance to tell you that last year's Stonewall honored, Harvey nominated, and Ringo Nominated queer slice of life romance "Navigating with You is getting a sequel. It's coming out this fall and you can preorder it now! bookshop.org/lists/books-...

truly astonishing what being constantly asked to prove your worth will do to your mental health

Make friends. Real ones. Maybe they’ll be your collaborators and maybe they won’t. Maybe your careers will grow together, maybe they won’t. That part doesn’t matter as much as real honest connection. Develop real friendships in the space with people you can trust.

They murdered Good and Pretti, a poet and a nurse, one whose last words were “I’m not mad,” another whose last act was shielding another. Because of course that’s who they killed. Everyday people.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

minnesota coming together to show us all how to stand up against ICE is such a beautiful display of what solidarity looks like

So I loathe having to do this with everyone else hurting right now but the repairs are going to be costly and I would rather earn if I can. I’ve already had to pay for parts today but labor is going to be more so if you have any work, I’m real good at that. A share would be rad as well.

damn what is wrong with me, i am having the hardest time concentrating on work, i lament as i compulsively refresh live feeds of unspeakable horrors

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours. please keep sharing with your networks.

we don't have very much but we can strip anybody who works for ICE of any social niceties whatsoever. you find out somebody is with them? they don't get to be ANYTHING to you anymore. and tell them WHY. it SUCKS to be ostracized and stigmatized. please use it on somebody who's earned it for once

I can't remember the last time we were all happy in the morning. Dang. I didn't realize just how beaten down I was by the background radiation of the world until I woke up to the alternative today.
