The cat's finally out of the bag! My big project is The Catterfly Rider, a brand new fantasy YA series created by Kasia Babis and yours truly. A true dream project years in the making and a labor of love for both of us.
Book 1 comes out in Spring 2027, but I promise it's worth the wait. ❤️🐾

fellow creative freelancers: cannot recommend the good folks at brass taxes enough. they'll walk you through everything, they understand media industry forms, they have a super helpful worksheet, and the payment you send them is also tax deductible for next year. worth every penny if you can spare
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.
TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

One of my biggest transit pet peeves is someone smoking on the train. You're basically making your vice eeeeeveryone else's problem and other riders might not even realize it until the train is already moving.

"does he know that's not true" is definitely the right way to phrase the question
KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.
