In 2025, my creative work has been a refuge as well as a space for introspection, exploration, and growth. Thanks to everyone who has supported my work this year. I'm looking forward to seeing what 2026 will bring as I embark on new projects and face new challenges. Happy new year, everyone!

You may be having a day (week? month? year? life) where it feels like a major victory that you showered and put on clean clothes. Or maybe you're pumped because you ate food today.
Take joy wherever you find it. Don't let anyone tell you that your small victories aren't victories at all. 🫂

I’ll never forget getting my first long arm stapler, back in Grade 9. Some older friends had introduced me to the world of minicomics & zines. I had access to a paper cutter and a low-cost photocopier. With the addition of the stapler, I was off to the races!

Score! I found a brand new Bostitch long reach stapler at Unique Thrift for $6.99 this morning. This means I will retire and give away an older one from my fleet. A nice end to a hard year.

Good thread 🧵
This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write."
A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption.
B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution:
If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow.
If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious.
By making these choices, you will literally save lives.
