“Today has been a rough day” is putting it mildly.
I’m 42 and going to have to wait until I’m 46 (at maximum) to be rid of the orange guy.
Given the chaos that’s bound to happen over the next two months, I’ve come up with a few creeds that I’m going to practice and share with others.

I think it's a cool bridge to have a nationally syndicated newspaper comic seen next to legacy comics like Garfield, Blondie, and Peanuts, and ALSO say I've collaborated with the likes of ToeJam & Earl, Scott the Woz, Eddsworld, Lofi Girl, Choctopus, etc.

@danaterrace.bsky.social It boggles my mind how people could jump to conclusions based on what you said about your own character in your own story.
Honestly, I’m wondering if some of those were bots out to cause trouble and not actual people (but then got real people involved)

This would be funnier if it weren’t so tragic.
Always assume that nobody on Twitter is real; especially if they have a blue checkmark.

Haha remember dial up modems? And old school websites? And that one website we all kept coming to, even though we never typed in the address, the one that was a black screen with a picture of a man, and every time we visited the man in the picture was just a little closer? Haha. And remember AIM?

Classmates with the class phone directory would call my house asking for tips on tricks on Nintendo and SEGA games. It cost less than calling official help lines.

It amazes me how many tributes there are to a Japanese race horse who never won a single race during their career. It made me reflect and think about what why people loved this horse.
And it made me realize something:
“You don’t need to win in order to be loved.”
Thank you, Haru Urara.
