I've been tracking my TMK time the last like ten chapters! It's helpful to know the average per page, or which parts take longer, and I set the calculations to round up so I get even more time lol

She's yelling about graphic novels again. I wrote a blog post about how to track work hours and do the math to build better work schedules. This speaks to graphic novelists specifically but it's good info for any freelancer!

I can kinda get away with wonky perspective with TMK's style but next comic I do I might dedicate more time to properly learning Blender to build out sets and stuff. Also your new icon is very cute lol.

Throwing it into the ether: I'd love to play a Daggerheart game, it looks fun. I have the core and expansion sets (thanks to my discount at book job) and part of me just misses rolling dice lol. Dumb but true!

I have a lot of discussions with people who just don't believe individual action can have much of an impact even though world history is full of examples proving otherwise. By the way the two women who spearheaded this were Mary Manning and Karen Gearon. Nimrod Sejake was in Ireland in exile.

Yeah I'll have to see if anyone has a solution for when the loop is basically sewn shut. I knew someday it would happen but still....

Sarah Schanze @depleti.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Oh no I'm so sorry! I hope it won't be that serious. My dog is over 11 and it's easy to forget she's "old" because she's not really acting any different than she ever did. I hope your pup gets better soon! (cheaply!)

The waist string on my favorite pair of shorts snapped and I can't replace it cuz it's sewn to the back and they're too big otherwise, I'm inconsolable!!

I forgot to include this lovely tarot card created by @kevinjaystanton.bsky.social, which he signed and gave me after doing a quick reading. He said something about balance and opening oneself to the light (sorry I forgot exactly!!), by which I think it means I need to be a lil more vulnerable. ART!

My laptop inexplicably started having problems a few weeks ago, needing a system restore a couple times a week. It's only three years old.

Having a small panic this morning because my laptop, which worked fine last night, is now starting without any of the auxiliary things working. No audio, Internet, or USB mouse.

Pull your work off of Webtoon right now if you've put anything on there, allowing AI to be trained off their platform's work so "fans" can make AI "fancomics" is horrible, horrible. Pull it right now.

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art

A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”

Yeah the workshop was cool too! Sadly no one was working since it was a Saturday lol. Walking in and seeing this first thing did make my jaw drop.

The other day I visited the Udvar-Hazy Center to see Discovery and was struck by how simple its materials were. "Ceramic tiles and blankets" is used on a display plaque. Stuff we've been making for thousands of years getting us to space. Wild to think about. 🚀 (Pedants will be blocked. 😘)

I have so many nonfiction books that I made up a big ol' wheel to pick the next one at random and after gathering up the ones still left to read I discovered I have 69 of them hehehe.

Spin-able wheel of book titles that totals to 69 entries (nice).

The other day my bookstore job had a special event (get 5 used books for a penny a page; we've done it before but the company advertised it this time) and it was the biggest sale day in the store's history. 2+ hr checkout wait sometimes. People still want real, physical books. It was nice to see.
