Most of us are engaged in the Mass Blackout, avoiding ordering things online to show billionaires our collective power. But you can still back the woman who mercilessly eats the rich: THE MATRON. Let's make Black Friday RED! 1/

Every time I'm struggling with something I'm drawing I get hyper focused and detailed, and it always reminds me of a friend telling me the kids she used to babysit for would stop and overpronounce words they weren't used to -- "my daddy got me this .... DESK .... SET .... for christmas"

My youngest stepdaughter had a birthday yesterday so I decided to commemorate it by outing her as the Cat Thief she is! Every night she thinks we won’t notice her smuggling a cat up the stairs to her room 😆 Her reign of terror is at an end!!

Unfortunately the show I was exhibiting at this weekend was cancelled, SO it’s time for an impromptu SALE!! Today through this weekend, 15% off all the bits n’ bobs in my shop (no apples) www.etsy.com/shop/Lipstic...

Everyone else looks like Aunt Gladys when they come out of a massage, right

My stepdaughter wanted to watch a Christmas movie and my husband said “No, not until after Thanksgiving. Until then it’s still Halloween” #hot

I referred to my cycle of clamming up, shutting down, and avoidance as the “trilogy of suck” the other day to my therapist, and it was hilarious how earnestly she referred to it later: “ so Monica, in this trilogy of suck …” 😂

Husband, brow furrowed, points at my desk next to my half filled suitcase: “What is that?” Me: “That’s my packing cheese”

Happy Mabon, everyone! Here’s to the autumnal equinox!

There aren’t many things I enjoy more than people with thick Jersey/Boston accents recounting paranormal sightings

Older women, and older people of color specifically are our greatest assets, protect and lift them up at all costs

My childhood doll Samantha has a great great granddaughter?? I’m a million years old people.com/american-gir...

Today I was blessed with an older woman on the plane who welcomed me to sit next to her, paid for my drink, and asked me my college sports affiliation- I told her I went to a nerd college with a champion chess team and she said “good, money well spent”

SPX photo dump!!! @dcorsetto.bsky.social @plasticfarm.bsky.social @carlaspeedmcneil.bsky.social @monicacomics.bsky.social caught in the wild! The K was trying to escape from us OR it was the North Bethesda Marriott Ghost warning us of impending sadness 1/9

And you’re the king of awesome!

How hard is it to get a job writing Hallmark movies? Because it’s all my parents watch and this shit is garbage 😅

S to the P to the X is happening! Come on down to K-Town (that’s aisle K) of the great @spxcomics in Rockville this weekend!

I love the ritual of going back to my home state every fall for this amazing show. Come visit this weekend!

I have hope, naive as it may be, that the influx of AI genercism will bring people back to actual real voices, ideas, and stories

At the end of traveling all day, always great to get a Lyft driver blasting Joe Rogan and his fellow dumbasses rating which women over 50 are “hot”… FOR THE ENTIRE RIDE

But for real it’s sad seeing a brand like @southwestairlinecs.bsky.social who was known to be fun, joke around, allow free bags and a sense of levity get beholden to the almighty shareholder dollar. We’re no longer allowed any whimsy, just financial pain.

Boarding a plane @southwestairlinecs.bsky.social be like “anyone anyone at all between the paid A group and then group B … seriously who else is in the airport … we’ll wait”
