Everything, and I mean everything, that I have been subjected to learn about the Nuzzi and RFK Jr. "love" affair has been against my will. It's like being hit by every Psychic move from Mewtwo all at once.

It was too late
to interfere
with what had already vaulted
from the sphere of meme
to
the sphere of screwy legend,
but at least I did not have to worry
about the worm
that was not a worm
in his brain.

I was gonna do the entire book on the podcast but I'm sorry, I don't think I can do it.
Also, I know this is petty but I cannot get over the insulting laziness of the book cover

And I know very well that there are wonderful men out there, but I also know, WHOEVER you are: that there is literally not a SINGLE WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE whom has NOT been subject at one time or many to attempted sexual coericion by a would-be mentor or coach or boss. Not fucking ONE.

I wish men truly understood how often their peers only pretend to cultivate women's talents because they want to fuck us. I am a short Canadian nobody and it happened to me when I was starting out my screenwriting career no less than four times before I turned 26

That’s Chekhov. In Ibsen you die while trying to impress a young woman. Or die by suicide. Or from syphilis. Or live, but are abandoned by the people you love most.

Really excited to share that I will be part of the Science Comics Carousel at MICE this year on December 6th from 1-2PM. I'll be reading from my new comic, BRAINS, which is a love letter to the brain and a giant middle finger to AI and I hope to see you there! mice2025.sched.com/event/2Bdqa/...
