Oh my heart, it’s always hard going out on submission with a client project that I’m wildly too close to.

I know that writers often feel like passes on their work feels like a pass on them.

I think you’d be surprised how often agents and other industry folks feel the same, when we love something.

do I have any friends or followers who I could talk to about what it's to grow up with diabetes (particularly when you were a teenager, like 14-15), as well as what it's like to use modern tech to manage it? it's for a comics thing

Really enjoyed My Life Among Humans by Jed McGowan. I think a lot of us could relate to the alien (and a lesser degree the humans). Definitely check out.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Just finished reading TO BE TAUGHT IF FORTUNATE by #beckychambers. Third book of hers I've read. Highly recommend. Fantastic characters. As my wife put it, it's a love letter to science.

"A ragtag party of wizards & thieves brave a dangerous dungeon to free themselves, and find out what happened to Eliza's missing father!" Looks like a really fun comic from @rustymarcum.bsky.social @johannamation.bsky.social & @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social

I’ve been looking forward to chatting with Cody for a while now and this was a fantastic conversation. If you haven’t checked out Keeping it Geekly yet, Cody is an incredible host. He made me feel welcome and his questions were thoughtful. I had a blast.
We will be sitting down with @jimmygaspero.bsky.social tonight at 10 PM EST to chat about Penny and the Yeti + much more!

Penny soon finds out that her parents may need more help than even a magical Yeti can provide 👧✏️

#SNL will probably spoof the Bondi hearing. They should just use segments of the transcript for their script. Don't insert any jokes. Don't try to make it more over the top. Just have the comedian say what she said . Sure, use props and physical comedy but don't try to top what is already a joke.

A huge part of being a writer is telling yourself you need a mental health day from work, and you spend that break writing, so… doing more work.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

I can’t participate in #hourlycomicsday this time bc I’m too far behind on work, but… I’m discouraged to report that the one I made in 2024 keeps getting more true with each passing year, so gonna just post it again 😣

If you are querying, make sure to check your spam folders. I sent a request for a synopsis of Book2 and haven't heard back yet. I just have two unread fulls left.

I really hope Wonder Man does phenomenally and Disney/Marvel is motivated to continue to give us shows and movies that think outside the super hero box.
