That's the free option a few friends have recommended to me

Madeleine Vasaly @madeleinevasaly.com · 02/10/2026

Yeah, this is probably the kick I needed to switch to either a free app or no app. The "streak" mechanic is helpful for keeping the habit, but hopefully I can manage without it at this point.

The meditation app I use being bought out by an "AI health company" feels extremely 2026.

PAID GIG: I'm looking for someone who knows Spanish Sign Language. I'm going to be translating a graphic novel where SSL is featured (hooray for d/Deaf rep!!) and I want to be sure that I get the text aligned with the signs in the artwork. This should be happening at some point this year. #xl8

I'd definitely use an en dash under CMOS (unless it's introduced by "between" or something else that wouldn't make sense with "to")

In the Renaissance people theorized, since the Aeneid is great, if you wrote poems made only of words & phrases from the Aeneid rearranged they should be great too, since a great source regurgitated should yield greatness. They produced NOTHING we still read. Thinking about that a lot lately.

I walk past the Alex Pretti memorial a lot because I live in the neighborhood. It's still an absolute gut punch any time I stop there long enough to take a breath.

Seriously—the endnotes alone are longer than many whole prose books I've edited, and Ben has so much to say about the legacy of the trials in history and culture.

It's always fun when books I've worked on are up for the Eisner Awards, but I especially want to shout out Ben Wickey, whose @topshelfcomix.bsky.social book on the Salem witch trials is beautifully drawn, deeply thought out, and extensively researched. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/796451...

May 14, 2 PM Pacific, Zoom: An Introduction to Proofreading Comics. Madeleine Vasaly, author of The Proofreader's Guide to Comic Book Style, offers an overview of editorial style, scope, and other important aspects of comics proofreading—including mini quizzes

When I minored in Japanese, I hoped I'd get some chances to use it in my future career, but I gotta say I never predicted it would involve Godzilla and Ninja Turtles comics.

I thought I might regret picking a pysanky pattern with so many straight lines, but I'm actually pretty happy with this year's attempt

Ukrainian-style Easter eggs: one purple, blue, and white with a lacy pattern, one dark green and yellow with deer, and one black, yellow, and red with a geometric pattern

I'm also the current proofreader and/or copyeditor for all of IDW's Godzilla comics, which include the new Kai-Sei Era lineup the RPG ties into as well as titles like Godzilla's Monsterpiece Theatre, TMNT x Godzilla, and Mothra: Queen of the Monsters, to name just a few.

I don't post all that often about what I'm working on, but in addition to a whole lot of comic series and graphic novels, one of my big ongoing projects for IDW has been copyediting this—the new official Godzilla TTRPG!

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.
