Coming again soon to Emerald City Comic Con #ECCC

And it did, indeed, go to 11.

Thanks to Heidi and team for the kind words and respectful coverage, truly. Lots of changes going on across the board. I just want to get things done and help folks make great comics and books. 💪

Thank you, and yes, I will at last come out of my short holiday hibernation period and speak up: I have gone spelunking over to Mad Cave. I'm joining a fabulous team there, and am happy to continue working with so many great folks throughout the industry. The comics wheel turns as it will!

Re: Best in Show: I have FOUND the Busy Bee. I repeat: Busy Bee has been ACQUIRED and it is NOT a bear in a bee suit. IKEA has come thrü with SKOGSDUVA (mine is the mini version)

Catherine O'Hara. Absolute legend. There will never be another. 💔 Best In Show is one of my favorite films, but this is probably going to become a stan account where I post more clips for a hot minute. LebZQVU?si=pHqDE32sl9YXtzdw

This is awful, do not take your pets to this clinic. But also, good lord, KOIN, the word is "spay" or "spayed," which also specifically refers to the surgery affecting ovaries. Every single reference, including body copy, photo captions and video CC... spend 2 seconds to make things legible

Here are some great Bindings shelves from the creators whom inspired it! - Kelly Sue DeConnick @kellysue.bsky.social bindings.app/shelf/h7HLHZYr - Kieron Gillen @kierongillen.bsky.social bindings.app/shelf/1FLv6kLb (FML and The Power Fantasy are bangers!! Check out the previews!))

Do you like comedy? ORLA! Is a satire of the hellscape that is modern dating, skewering manosphere brainrot. I’m not saying some people deserve to eaten by a monster, but… Art by @sallycantirino.bsky.social, @dearbhlala.bsky.social, letters by @letteringbear.bsky.social. ORLA! is out 21st April.

This machine yub nubs fascists.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

MERCY: OUT IN THE COLD.... unless YOU help! We've had a GREAT first day so far on the new Kickstarter-- good enough to be already closing in on our ambitious funding target! Help get us out of the cold and make the new Trekker book a reality! TrekkerKickstarter.com

It's that time again

"Haunted real estate Ken" is a great description

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

This is correct.

So much happening in the world right now, and yes I find myself already starting to plan this year's Halloween costumes because this is a fun pastime for me idk

"They said we were being fired because we could not be trusted to carry out the president’s agenda. I asked if there was any allegation of misconduct. They said no."

"Though her work reshaped modern navigation, West remained largely unknown for decades. ... GPS’s remarkable accuracy rests on years of meticulous mathematical labor done behind the scenes by scientists like West, who pursued the work not for recognition, but because it mattered."

Gladys West died January 17 at age 95, leaving an extraordinary legacy in mathematics and geodesy. Here’s my portrait and bio 👩🏾‍🔬🧪🐡

Dr. King in March, 1965 at Jimmie Lee Jackson’s funeral— a 26 year old Army veteran hunted & murdered by police during a nonviolent protest in Marion, AL, whose killing directly inspired the Selma-to-Montgomery march four days later. (from March: Book Three by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and myself)

Lidia Yuknavitch's The Chronology of Water is one of the books I worked on while interning at Hawthorne Books during my MS in Publishing days. Challenging but beautiful book; sounds like the film adaptation is as well--going to try and catch it this week: www.portlandmercury.com/movies-and-t...

Very helpful helpers helping with my workday today

Welp, turns out we could use some help. Sassy's bladder cancer is operable and her prognosis is good with surgery, but I am not going to be able to come up with the money soon enough so I am asking for a hand. If y'all can share I'd sure appreciate it. gofund.me/2e82b7125

Based on depictions in books and TV and movies, very few people actually know how to administer CPR. It's not all or even mostly (or even at all) the mouth stuff, guys. EVERY time, they just go for the mouth, no chest compressions; you think that's gonna start the heart, Prince Charming?

I replay so many including whole franchises, no shame. Fallout - all, but esp NV Civilization Dragon Age Assassins Creed - esp Valhalla Elder Scrolls - esp Skyrim Mass Effect King's Quest 6 Caesar 3 Baldur's Gate 2 and now 3 Super Mario World Pentiment Final Fantasy 3 & 7 Witcher 3 Cyberpunk 2077

Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Are kids taught how to write checks or address envelopes or thing like that any more? Not something I do often, but made me wonder if checks and stuff are now as foreign to kids as floppy disks or VHS.

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officers have shot two people in Portland, according to the Portland Police Bureau. The shooting took place at 2:18 pm on Southeast Main street, but the victims, one male and one female, were found at 146th and East Burnside minutes later.

I just got home from running errands in this area. Now I know what all the emergency vehicles were heading to and from, perhaps.

Will Fallout costumes be The Thing at cons this year? I want to see variety, not just the same easy ones. Unicycle Securitron, or Sentry Bots or somehow Eyebots, these would be fun. Nightkin, Nuka-Lurk, Glowing One, Yao-guai... creativity! And not just broskis obsessed with New Vegas, I beg.
