If you're looking for a little guided relaxation and re-focusing in our Unprecedented Times, wellness coach Caitlin McDonald (who I know and can vouch for, she is cool) is offering a free activity and discussion session today at 2pm Pacific Time: caitlinmcdonald.com/coaching/cou...
That last retweet reminded me of the writing contest at my Primary school, where the headmistress nun said no-one was good enough to win and all basically substandard, but everyone got an award. Instead of "You're all winners" it was "You're all losers." Thanks, Catholic School.
Sometimes I think a big reason I made it as a professional writer is that my parents avoided the two extremes of "I don't take my child's creativity seriously" and "a child's creativity must be monetized." They always supported my writing (and my study of writing) but making it a job was my choice.
that email is a mentality born of hustle culture. an eleven year old writes their first story and your first inclination as a parent is to run to the inbox of a working professional artist to ask "can you draw my kid's story" ? at that point it's not even about the kid. it's about the parent's ego.
I don't love the Now You See Me movies (I am a grump about how much they use CG when a movie about stage magicians should mostly rely on sleight of hand and practical effects) but I respect how they are just straight up heist movies where they Ctrl+F HEIST and replace with TRICK
Relatedly, I think it's okay for me to say that I'm absurdly proud of DC Comics as a company for publishing both Jenny's story and publishing DC Pride as a whole. You've seen the world out there. They could've stuck this in a drawer. But it's not just rainbow capitalism; DC is doing what's right.
I’m not a political expert, I’m just a talkative type. Zohran Mamdani and Adrianne Adams are the ones that I’m looking for. But they are not doing well in the polls! Everyone is angry at our mayor and these two candidates seem to be the ones who want it repair the city. But what do I know

Was reading a Red Bee story and ran across this sequence which seems particularly timely. The epidemic is influenza, and they're celebrating "hospital appropriations" graft that has emptied the town's coffers. The Red Bee left them alive, which I think was a mistake.
The great thing about the NDP is that the people who show up for them to work on campaigns, those who vote, really believe in positive change for ordinary people and they want to work for it. They are not cynically aligning values with the bigger parties, they have goodwill, and they care.
Wilford Hamilton “Captain Billy” Fawcett, born on April 29, 1885. A veteran of the Spanish-American War & World War I, he started the bawdy humor magazine, Captain Billy's Whiz Bang, in 1919. Fawcett Publications expanded to include other magazines, and eventually, comic books. #Shazam!
So I was supposed to stay on Twitter and get harassed by the people who turned it into a right wing echo chamber in order to prove to the people harassing me that I’m not in a leftist echo chamber? What I don’t get is why I would feel the slightest desire to prove anything to those people
