My understanding is that QTs are more effective in giving visibility so, please take a look at this. Ban Nazis, not Jewish writers who speak up against them. Do the right thing.

Unfortunately @Twitter algorithms and trolls have killed @HNTurtledove ‘s account. For those asking #WheresHarryT please make some noise for @TwitterSafety to reconsider reactivating his Twitter, which had nearly 20k followers

Some believe I had it "easy" in comics, because there wasn't a lot of competition back in the day from other women, etc: for some reason they think I was this super privileged skinny blonde chick who just sailed through life on a wad of money and got all the best art training.

Here we are then,
dangerous as a storm,
at odds between root
and sky, a challenge echoing
like a song through bone,
this electric wondering
is without mercy,
all hands
and just the edge of teeth—
heart-struck,
a gift
with an eye toward
endless.

Got my coffee order the other day. It is my favorite coffee! I am endlessly delighted that each delivery comes with a tiny toy. The smol dino brings me joy!

Just stumbled across something that made me WTF out loud, and I truly wish people were less shitty.
Using folks is never a good look. That is all.

What’s the worst “acclaimed” movie you’ve seen? A movie widely thought of as good or great that you can’t stand?

The college professor who encouraged my poetry. The friend who dropped off wine and brownies when I was having a bad week. The countless animal photos and “thinking of you” texts.
The check-ins, splitting mozzarella sticks, laughing over wine. The “I miss yous.”

All above, people will remember the kindnesses you’ve done for them. Over the years, I have on the receiving end of some pretty damn good acts of kindness.
The first who helped me get through senior year. A person who I cried to, after my mom died.

It seems to me that publishers need to do a better job explaining to authors how B&N orders work and what constitutes as marketing. Many conflicting tweets from authors.

A bonus episode of Sandman? Excellent news to wake up to.
Quote Tweet
From the mind of Neil Gaiman, a two-part bonus episode of THE SANDMAN, featuring the stories "A Dream of a Thousand Cats" and "Calliope," is now streaming only on Netflix.

Being productive today was hard. I had a lot to get done, but also a stupid headache. (I need a shoulder/neck massage, like whoa.)
I did what I could, and the rest will be there tomorrow. Consider this your friendly reminder that it is okay to take a beat and not do everything.

I'm pissed and ashamed as a U.S. citizen that the Embassy and allowed this to happen. Myself and many others worked hard to get to this year's . Read Ekpeki's thread for what happened.
Threading for more thoughts. 1/

Been thinking about cutting my hair or dyeing it a deep purple. Something different.
And I realize that it’s not just about the hair. It’s about wanting to take big steps, to shake things up, to embrace change. **cracks knuckles**
