Last time I was at SDCC was 20 years ago.
I was 17 and the highlight of the trip was conning my way into the premiere of THE DEVIL'S REJECTS.
Today I leave for SDCC, my book (CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD) adapted into a movie and... a haunted house? I hope a kid sneaks in and has a great time.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

I know it isn’t the main point of the story. But you don’t fucking leave your dog behind. Disgraceful.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
