My year end wrap up on StoryGraph tells me I reached my set goals but didn’t reach beyond it. I hit some rough reading slumps. But hey, my most read author was @poopraven.bsky.social .

Also please note that I’m not asking folks that are compromised in such a way that they CANNOT get the vaccine. I’m telling the folks that actually have a choice in the matter and don’t - get over it and get vaccinated.
This!!! Go get it now!!!

I feel like the Covid Pandemic revealed just how many folks forgot how vaccines work (what they actually do) precisely because vaccines work.

Case in point - my own parental unit refuses to get the flu vax because they caught the flu shortly after getting vaccinated. 🙄
Flu numbers are high in most states and almost all cases are variants of H3N2 and the vaccine includes H3N2

Get your flu vax if you haven’t already! Even if you still get the flu, the symptoms will be easier to manage if you get vaccinated!

Went to my LCS to pick up the Birds of Prey Omnibus per @gailsimone.bsky.social rec but found it sold out (am going to send an email request to the owner to be sure to get one added to my box) and picked up Red Sonja which was available. Arrived home to find Koriko in my mailbox. #comicsandgames

Ok #fountainpen folks I don’t normally care about matching ink to pen but this one absolutely wants it to match. The closest colors I have are Golden Orchid or Celedon Cat. I can’t decide! Which would you choose? If you have a different suggestion let me know. I’m curious. #ink

I’ve been creating a new ink swatch book. Because why not. Except I have 10 pages left in this one and 15 bottles of ink left to catalog. (All BPC) looks like those remaining pages will be reserved for the Inks and Drinks meetup in January. Sharing a few of my favorites. Enjoy! #fountainpenink

Today was “holiday baking” with Matthew. A tradition that we started pre- Covid pandemic and have thankfully continued. Chocolate chip cookies, mandel bread (Mandel Brot), and probably one of my favorite cookies - sugar dipped butter cookies. #baking #cozy

There was a coyote in our backyard just a few minutes ago. I hadn’t seen one yet (bobcats, possums,raccoons, owls, bunnies - sure.) Matt mentioned he noticed the tail just as it rounded the corner of house towards bedroom. I practically ran to catch a glimpse. The first thing I noticed? 🧵

Hey @gailsimone.bsky.social - where should I start if I want to read comics you’ve worked on?

I really hate that my brain still gives energy to trying to figure out how to repair a relationship that hasn’t existed for almost 7 years. Every single time I see this person who clearly wants nothing to do with me. It took me years to accept there was nothing I could have done…🧵

Hey #fountainpen and #ink friends. I know many of you collect Birmingham Pen Co ink. Do any of you have Water Bear in your collection and might be willing to part with a sample? Happy to do an ink swap if you want.

My last ink purchase for 2025. One amused me greatly and I learned something new. The other was related in theme and the realization that I really wanted a full bottle (not just the original 5 ml bottle)

I might be up half an hour early and possibly trying divert a migraine, however, you will not hear me complain because last night Stella was allowed to roam the house after we went to bed for the first time. We knew she would likely end up somewhere on our bed - the question was how would Harley…

@zenxyoga.bsky.social I thought of you and Mark immediately when I listened to this. Seriously.
I love the fucking internet, part 972964386: "One Night In Bangkok" arranged and performed as a 16th century chanson. youtu.be/i3jHv0GZB9U?...

I like sending random happy mail because it makes me happy and hopefully brightens another persons day. It’s always a surprise when I get something back because I never expect it. (Also I call just about everything I physically mail happy mail.)

My planner/journal for 2026 has arrived. Now it is time to see if/how I actually use the #hobonichitecho - this is my first one.

I’m digging the cover on cover combo and the colors of the actual cover resonate with me so it’s a good start. #stationery

I truly hope this is the case, but if it isn’t to be for whatever reason - I wish you well.

Wahhhh! I was re-swatching some sample inks I picked up in November from Inks & Drinks and managed to knock over the sample I was swatching all over my desk. RIP Teranishi Opera Rose. I didn’t even get a chance to ink a pen with you. 😭

I didn’t know I needed to read this until I read it.
“If it goes away when you take your meds it’s probably not a character flaw” is something I have to tell myself often.

I’m testing overcast out (podcast player app) and found this gem in the settings menu.

I might have laughed out loud.

Wonderful news from @transrights.northsky.social this morning in my email box. I’m on the waitlist - and was thankful for the reminder to make sure my name was up-to-date especially since I updated it after applying to the waitlist.
