I would always rather be out trying to talk with ghosts. 👻
If you’re a creator (writer, illustrator, etc.) and your publisher/reps don’t give you all the options for distribution of your title(s), they are either behind the times or downright gatekeeping.
Either way, it’s a disservice to you.
Me by hour 4 of trying to reduce my gluten and sugar intake:
Exciting news about the next chapter for Comics Plus!
If my small-ish body is overfilled with rage, does that make me outrageous?
We totally are fortunate! Vet says he’s pretty healthy all things considered
We took our 17 year old Shiba to the vet, in part due to his obvious uptick in anxiety.
The vet goes “listen, all older creatures, people or pets, have anxiety. That’s the fear of death, whether they know it or not.”
Great, now please pass the Xanax ☠️😬
(Baby pic of the shiba included).
Hey #library folk, voting has begun for American Library Association leadership, including President and Members at Large.
Yours truly is up for Graphic Novel & Comics Round Table President, and I’d sure appreciate your vote. 📚

Not sure how Mackin does “not-see” how far from their alleged intentions the actual usage will be?
Brilliant!
I want AI to include one line in a business agreement that says “everything in this is null and void once signed” just to fuck with the type of person who would use AI to write their legal contracts.
Per usual, I didn’t take nearly enough pics.
#ComicsPRO was an amazing opportunity to talk libraries with some very engaged comics retailers and publishers.
Grateful to have been invited!
Big thanks to @oni-press.bsky.social, Shannon Live, Katie Pryde and the ComicsPRO board.
Do I have any fellow femmes in comics who would like to be official guests of the Creators Assemble annual networking event at Wondercon? Friday, March 27 in the afternoon.
Badges will be provided
The number of folks who would come into the library and proudly proclaim that they hadn’t “been to one of these since the 4th grade!”
Like yea, we can tell. #notaflex
My rule following teenager stepped outside of her comfort zone to join the student protest today. She was so scared of potential consequences from her school but said she’s so glad to have taken a stand.
Proud of her and every other kid that used their voices today! #iceout
You’re too kind!
I’ll be doing some talks at ComicsPRO about comics retailer and publisher outreach to libraries.
Looking forward to my first PRO! Anything I should know or plan to do?
Spent the day with grandpa, who turned 100 in Sept & still lives independently.
Secrets to his longevity, by my observation, include his kindness & dedication to betterment of all. Plus he doesn’t scrimp on what makes him happy. Like lots of chocolate.
NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I spoke with one of the anonymous tipsters from this last dump of Epstein Files. Trump trafficked girls to Epstein and Maxwell through his modeling agency. You can watch here, no paywalls. Ever. www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...

Guys I hate to be a pessimist but...This month has been a helluva year, and this year doesn't seem to be shaping up better than the last.
