Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, I want to post a little reminder that many library cards will allow you free access to Kanopy, an amazing streaming channel. If your library card doesn't work, you can often sign up for other libraries in your region.

I used to stay entertained by cultivating deep mental and emotional torment for myself. Now I just read books like a loser.

Not so much a fan of finishing what I started before starting something new. Big fan of starting many things all at once before the stress migraine hits.

My partner recently found out about the Eisner Awards and has taken it upon themself to coach me to victory. So far their advice has consisted of: “ya gotta write a comic about a mouse trying to write a comic”, so that’s doomed.

A fun side effect of quitting Instagram is that suddenly I have the mental capacity to write about comics again.

Sometimes I fall into hyper realistic fantasies where I’m like, an interior designer for restaurants or something, and will be 45 minutes into an argument with a client when I remember that this is a fantasy and maybe mindfulness isn’t entirely corporate wellness bullshit.

I've been thinking a lot about comics lately and the craft and calling of making them. So I wrote myself a comics manifesto. Please comment, share, steal, or disregard.

I love the mystery genre, because no matter your secret yum or special interest, there’s a mystery novel for you. Wrestling detectives, murders in Renaissance Florence, secret magic society mysteries… Which implies a world of infinite mystery, compounded cosmic unknowns, waiting for a detective.

more recently, probably this dumb comic from 2023 that I threw together in less than an hour thinking "haha everybody agrees that a lot of superhero movies are propaganda right" and it turned out many people are VERY defensive about the most popular and highest grossing franchise in the world

When I’m having a bad day I sometimes walk over to the local art supply store and chat up the owners. Living in a part of town where I can do that means a lot.
