Many little aches and pains today, so every position is uncomfortable

This kickstarter project is almost there! An anthology of Palestinian speculative fiction is exactly what the world needs right now.

I did! 😂

I have three hours before it’s time to put on pants and go to gaming. I could either spend it getting to the point I wanted to reach in my book, or I could sleep so I don’t crash my car on my hour drive each way…

All I’m saying is if I was going to write a book about a boy who never grew up, I wouldn’t have called him Peter Pan. I would’ve named him Constanteen.

It’s the reason we don’t have universal healthcare imo. Some white folks would rather die than see Black people get anything at all

Seems accurate!

Look for super newborns, when they’re like the size of a finger. Catworms!

I just learned that baby ferrets look like a cross between kittens and caterpillars

This discourse rolls around every six months and I'm always happy to chime in: ELEMENTARY is a great TV show qua TV show and best modern interpretation of Holmes, including that one you're thinking of, which was more of one dude's intermittent hobby, which also somehow turned into CRIME DR. WHO.

Friends, could you help me share this Kickstarter? It’s doing well but I need to extend its reach: www.kickstarter.com/projects/158...

Rod Serling stands in a glowing doorway, surrounded by the title Serling: A Journey Into The Twilight Zone with TV's First Visionary, by Alan Sepinwall

Very excited to reveal the cover for my next book, Serling: A Journey Into The Twilight Zone with TV’s First Visionary. The book will be published by Grand Central on October 13 of this year, and pre-orders are open now: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/alan-...

Hey artists, if you see this, post a dog🤎 #art

WELP. My dogs have gained weight in the past year instead of losing it, and Dino has tested positive for tick borne diseases that he didn’t test positive for a year ago. Womp womp.

I'm generally on the side of non-violence.

I also think some people need to be punched in the face.

The problem is I’m 9% of the way into the third book in a Robin Hobb trilogy so nothing has happened yet but I’m screaming crying throwing up because I know I’m going to need therapy about it before the book is over so I’m scared to pick it up and just read because eventually I’ll have to stop 🙃

A meme image of a man in a robe holding a drink and smirking. Text: DON’T WORRY ABOUT GETTING OLDER. YOU’RE STILL GONNA DO DUMB STUFF, ONLY SLOWLY.

I’m going to get to this one soon and I’m pretty sure I’m going to suffer

I can’t decide if I should read now and sleep after I take the dogs the the vet in the morning, or if I should sleep now and read later. So I’m probably going to scroll social media until it’s too late to do either of those things before it’s time to go.

ICYMI! Still up for sketches and tarot because I'm at 0/100 of trying to make up for the day I lost on my paycheck to the concussion.

No takers yet!

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Cartoon, wide layout, six panels, three on top, three below. =TOP ROW= * LEFT PANEL Wide shot: Mysterious robed figures carrying lanterns atop staves come to a lonely house in the middle of the night. A female figure stands in the home's open doorway. ROBED FIGURE We have come for the child. * CENTER PANEL Close now on the mother and her visitors. MOTHER So soon? ROBED FIGURE It is time. * RIGHT PANEL MOTHER We should never have got him a library card! ROBED FIGURE What is done cannot be undone. =LOWER ROW= *LEFT PANEL MOTHER We couldn’t see the harm! We only wanted him to enjoy reading! ROBED FIGURE For most, it ends there. * CENTER PANEL A young boy walks out of the house and follows the departing robed figures. MOTHER Oh, Lord! What have I done? SON Do not cry, mother. * RIGHT PANEL Back to the wide shot, as the boy and robed figures get farther from the house, and the mother watches from the open doorway. SON I am a writer now.

By Tom Gauld. So painfully true....

Oh no… *spends money*
