I am once again asking for your help.

Do you post on Goodreads?
If you read A GHOST ARM MADE OF ANGRY GHOSTS and feel like writing a review for Goodreads, that would be super cool of you.
Did you purchase the book online?
If you did, writing a review on that site really helps us out.
THANK YOU!

Not all men. Jesus Christ, don't you think women *know* that? Use your heads instead of getting defensive. Most of you would be terrified of swimming among sharks, even though sharks are stastically far less dangerous to you than men are to women.

As a creator/publisher: I'd REALLY like for Sweet Shop to work out. Post-Amazon buyout, Comixology died on the vine. It's a non-service, at this point. Sweet Shop is run by ppl who actually give a crap about comics and want to make it easier for people to read them. So grab some ultra-cheap books!

I want to emphasize that I'm not a paid shill, but I just noticed that Sweet Shop is debuting with a massive bundle sale with many, many books up to 95% off. Some absolutely wild deals are in that app for the next two weeks. (I recommend the White Ash bundle, because of course I do.)

A familiar story for anyone who follows @volts.wtf. “The Chronicle spoke to more than half a dozen grid experts…to try to understand why Texas’s notoriously unreliable grid had a remarkably reliable summer. The answer was unanimous: solar panels and batteries.”

houstonchronicle.com

Texas shattered energy demand records this summer. Here's why the grid held up.

Texas repeatedly broke electricity demand records this summer, but ERCOT avoided emergencies as booming solar and battery capacity helped keep the grid stable.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:

Thinking through the TV shows list and there are so many I would exclude because of caveats. (Community but only WITH Dan Harmon, Arrested Development minus the Netflix seasons, True Detective S1 only, etc.) Game of Thrones making the top ten is cuckoo bananas.

If you're wondering why so many comics people are po'd about the Publishers Weekly PR stunt for an "AI" "graphic novel publisher" is because the whole piece is an insult to the hard work people do to make comics. No element can just be outsourced to a machine and then traced and not look like crap.

Welcome to the Wild West, city slicker! There is no standard format for comic scripts! Here's what I do, which is more on the minimalist side. Other writers may use more bells and whistles.

Page 1

1:1 GALAXY, unsteady on her feet from the traumatic experience of the last two issues, does her best to charge down a Watchtower hallway. She's determined, but also clearly not in the best shape.
Behind her, KAT and JON KENT follow looking concerned

(1) GALAXY: I keep telling you, I'm fine!
(2) GALAXY: (small) ow
(3) JON KENT: You're not fine!
(4) KAT: Jon is right! I don't even have x-ray vision and I can see that!
(5) GALAXY: Doesn't matter. I've got to get to where the Justice League are-

1:2 GALAXY holds up an arm in front of her face as she turns a corner and meets a hallway full of monitors showing various things happening on and around the Watchtower. GALAXY acts as if she's just been hit with a blinding light.

(6) GALAXY: GAH!

If you've read a book (like, say, THE CALAMITIES) and enjoyed it, a nice thing you can do is leave a review somewhere! And tell your friends, family, and any passersby. And also leave the author a big bag of money and, oh, I dunno, apples somewhere within easy reach. Good apples. NICE apples.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano
