New Teen Titans. I was ground floor, at DC Comics Present 26. Faithful until 55 or so (and the first 12 of the Baxter paper series). Still my all-time favorite run.

I came in at 168, and my crush on Kitty has never really wavered. And 169-175 is an all-time run for me.

i think the second verse is one of the best crafted pieces of songwriting anywhere

Got a nice shiny one all picked out.

Rule no 4 - Make the right enemies. Live your life in such a way that the worst people don’t like you.

You made it through another week, and you did great. Your mother and I are so proud. Come by this weekend. I’ll make chili. Would love to see you.

Rule no 6 - Give credit. Take the blame.

So much is happening literally everywhere. I want you to know that I think you are facing your happenings with courage and skill. You are doing good today. Keep going. I believe in you.

It’s the start of another week. Be good, work hard. I’m thinking about you and I know you’re going to be ok.

I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you. Be good to each other, but make sure to take care of yourself as well. You have been very brave, and I am proud of you.

Look after each other. Look after the people who are vulnerable and need help. Stay safe. Stay smart. Be brave. I am very proud of you for being the kind of person you are.

‘lost in a forest of books’ sounds pretty good to me.

i’m starting to take the ‘wine cellar’ approach to my library — curated for use when i need just the right flavor/vintage

Ah, the Before Times. The days of Hellthread and AlfHog, when this was still hammer country.

It’s my favorite time of the year because you’re here. It makes me very happy to have you home. Rest. Sleep. I’ll make the coffee and cinnamon rolls in the morning.

Make sure you are bundled up good. Stay safe. I know you can take care of yourself, but I still worry about

I do love bluesky, but man is Threads wild today.

what a day to be literate

We don’t do Yvonne DeCarlo slander in this house.

It’s a long week. You are doing great. Keep going.

absolutely rubbing my rabbit’s foot while typing.

nah, fam. The power vacuum after The Current Guy will be epic. Internecine squabbles will hack away at ‘the empire’ (GOP power base) until it shatters into ever smaller fiefdoms. It will be post-Alexander, post-Charlemagne, but so much dumber. Vance does not have the chops to unify.

Rule no 5 - The Devil needs no advocate. Stop it.

It’s a brand new week. You’ve got this. Be good. Work hard. Take care of others. I am proud of you.

I want to live in a world where we can dance if we want to, but we refuse to leave our friends behind even if they don't dance.

I know it’s all a lot right now. Come by some night this week. I’ll put on some chili and we’ll watch the pennant series. You don’t even have to talk. Just come and sit and let someone feed you.

Rule no 15 - Eat lunch with the new kid. Talk to the wallflower.

There’s a nip in the air. Make sure you have a jacket. Stay warm and safe. I still worry about you.

my hovercraft is full of eels

definitely not having a Baja blast atm
