Drew this little animation featuring the protagonist from my current comic project. Hard to resist the urge to bring my characters to life, just for the juvenile satisfaction of watching them dance in exaltation for me, as if I were a power mad king compelling his courtiers to entertain him.

As someone who spent years reporting on Zuckerberg, I've struggled to find something coherent to say about today. Then @cwarzel.bsky.social reminded me of my old reporting. This is what a FB employee said to me in 2020 after Zuckerberg addressed workers following FB-enabled violence in Kenosha, WI.

Screenshot from a 2020 BuzzFeed News story that reads:

One employee who spoke with BuzzFeed News after the event was not comforted by their CEO’s words.

“He seems truly incapable of taking personal responsibility for decisions and actions at Facebook,” they said.

I've been watching a lot of obscure British procedurals from the '00s just for kicks, and I've noticed a fascinating phenomenon. First season, all white cast, with POCS to be added in the second or third season.

My debut novel was a middle grade horror, and my second book is YA in a completely other genre. I sometimes worry I'm not building my author brand correctly, but I gotta go where the stories in my head take me!
