this is specifically for anxiety and self-doubt in professional settings, but develop a persona for yourself that acts like your "agent" in situations where you're pitching, negotiating, etc. -- someone who is not you but has your best interests in mind and can advocate for your work!
Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.
Years ago I read a trail report on AllTrails that was basically a guy bragging about how fit he was while simultaneously dissing his wife for being less fit. And about once a week, I think of that and hope she divorced him.
Ban this shit from your life.
Seriously. Boycott. And keep away from your kids.
All of this…

AI is NOT reliable. Certainly not for this. And if the wrong cop is sent to the wrong house on the wrong day? Innocent people will be killed.
This is so awful.
Convincing women to go on the record by name when they’ve seen that it results in no change — and a lot of people won’t believe them — can take years. One of the named sources in a 2024 story of mine declined to participate in 2017. Eventually, her life and job enabled it. And he’s still in office.
We are not talking about this enough.
And the fact that AI is being pushed on us without a parallel conversation about how we protect girls and women from AI driven sexual violence is a huge problem.
It’s also misogyny.

There is no McTry.
This is the difference between lettering, and lettering with a designer's eye. A character is waking up after nearly drowning. The top balloon is okay. It gets the job done. But the bottom balloon really SELLS the watery lungs.
There was a point in history when parents were really on a mission to find all the possible spellings of “Carrie.”

Big news, friends! I’m peeking out of my hermit shell for my first author event in…. too long! I’ll be at @ballastbookco.bsky.social in Bremerton Washington, May 1, 5:00pm - 8:00pm. I’ll be signing all the books, meeting all the people. Hope to see you there!
Treat yourself to Superman doing what he does best: putting the fear of almighty God into a bunch of racist clowns.
Once again I am asking for anyone willing to mentor a 2D animation/art student from the place where I work (tertiary college). She is willing to do anything, but we just need to get her across the line for her degree, but needs a work placement/mentorship for her final part.
Plz halp.
when she did the transaction because it was flagged as a potential scam. And she told the bank it wasn’t and insisted they send the money through for her puppy.
I would love to have a conclusion on this story but I could never go to her again because it was just too willfully dumb.
Once I went to a hairstylist who was excited to be getting a new puppy. But the scenario she described was definitely classic Craigslist puppy scam.
And in telling me this story, she prefaced with, “everyone keeps telling me it’s a scam but I don’t think it is!”
And then she said her bank called
Donald Trump is openly threatening war crimes against the entirety of Iranian civilization.
25th Amendment proceedings must begin immediately, but if the Cabinet is too cowardly, the House should begin the impeachment process now.
Trump just threatened that a "whole civilization will die tonight" if a deal with Iran isn't reached.
He's casually toying with egregious war crimes and unfathomable human devastation. (1/3)
The military must not follow any orders to destroy "a whole civilization." Sane members of Congress should say this loudly now.
Washington Post Trump warns ‘a whole civilization will die’ if Iran doesn’t make a deal The president had issued a deadline of 8 p.m. Eastern time for Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz, pledging destruction by midnight if leaders don’t comply. April 7, 2026 at 9:22 a.m. EDT26 minutes ago 2 min
Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.

It’s Autism Awareness Day!
It was a highlight of my career to work on Twyla from Monster High G3, who is canonically and explicitly autistic and wonderfully acted by Kayla Cromer.
As possibly part of the same phenomenon, every non-gendered group class/club I’ve done in the last several years skews heavily female. Rock climbing classes, running clubs, art classes, mountaineering — are women socialized more to participate?
