I don't think I ever posted one of my most viral Sailor Moon comics here

“Beautiful” has too many letters in it

I've started getting weirdly defensive on behalf of clowns every time someone calls someone in the administration one. Clowning is an art! Those guys train for YEARS! Most of us could absolutely not do what skilled professional clowns do!

I've hit the point where I'm just blocking accounts that post AI at this point. I don't need to see that crap on my feed, no thanks.

Hey man, we cool? I just noticed that when I look at you the reticle turns red.

Gabbi was my assistant editor and I can confirm that she has a very bright future ahead of her if she chooses to stay in comics

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.

Thinking about that time in Japan, when Nintendo was undergoing hard times, its CEO took a pay cut himself rather than layoff the companies' talented workers. That's some exceptionalism I can get behind.

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

James is good people. If you should need an editor, you can't go wrong hiring him.

Layoffs suck, but there's something about comic industry layoffs that just really guts me. These are dream jobs for people. Often childhood dreams that against all odds have actually come true. And then poof! You're on your own. It's just crushing.

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!

James is someone who should be on your radar. His work is exemplary.

The recent layoffs at Mad Cave have been really hard to process. It's a place that felt like home to me for the past three years while we worked to get Beat Every 1-Up off the ground. Chas was one of the few editors I've ever truly connected with beyond just the work.

Sending lots of love to all those as Mad Cave who were unexpectedly laid off this morning. Extremely talented folks, some of my favorite to work with. I'm hoping everyone finds something new and stable soon! 💙

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!

James is an incredible editor and would be an asset anywhere. 💜

I’ve spent the better part of this year writing the rough draft for my second novel. It’s not good. But you know what? Writing it is FUN. And maybe I can make it better with the next draft.

The first draft should be terrible That’s what revision is for

I hear bluesky is dying. thank god

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.

Geno Smith to the Jets to Geno Smith:

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

I’m not often exposed to mainstream news media but I am this morning and the fact that they’re treating this as normal makes me want to scream

Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program. Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program. A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

If you’re a Democrat in Congress who is considering supporting Trump’s illegal war in Iran, please consider self-immolation instead.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

"Instead of the State of the Union, we're watching The Muppet Show...!" "...But in this day and age there's not much difference!" "OH-HOH-HOH!"

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

Creatures from the deepest sea

Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

if you hate or love "maxxing" please be advised that guys my age think it's funny as hell and will shortly be using it approx. 500 times a day. you will be cringemaxxing and despairmaxxing but no amount of cringe & no depth of despair will stop the guys my age from usemaxxing "maxxing." just fyi

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

So many great graphic novels for kids coming out this year and I'm over the moon that AMELIA SHADOWS AND THE NEW HEAD GHOST is included on Comicsbeat's list! Coming out in April from me and @papercutzgn.bsky.social!!!

I think people just look at anything women and girls like as frivolous.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

It's been really difficult to end my Monday emails with the usual "Hope you had a good weekend!" when lately each weekend brings a new set of horrors If you get an email like this from me, please know it's with the caveat of: "in spite of everything"
