I’ve had a record number of men remove and/or block me from social media platforms in 2026. It’s almost like they’re emotional or something 🤔💅

Jim Henson didn’t muppeteer a tiny green frog that was singing and playing the banjo, with rubber gloves while totally submerged underwater in a airtight aluminum tank just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”.

My parents, right wing nut jobs who moved to bumfuq to become right wing nuttier, recently paid to have our entire family history scrubbed. No trace of our beautiful Mexican heritage, anywhere. Well, almost anywhere. I fixed it, for the family. Don’t mess with librarians.

As a former Eisner judge and first time comics writer, I have big thoughts about this whole AI situation. Mostly they are: Fuck AI, I’m gutted for the other contributors, and it’s beyond annoying that the establishment didn’t have language in place before this.

Look, if you are a librarian who wants to use AI in your library, I would kindly ask you to go find another profession. Because it's clear to the rest us you don't actually care about the Bill of Rights or Code of Ethics. Go work for a tech company or something. 13/

I was given the “opportunity” to sign licensing rights for AI distribution of my upcoming book. All I have to do is sign the contract, no need to read the fine print, and AI can have it for free as opposed to stealing out outright! 🤪

If you’re a creator (writer, illustrator, etc.) and your publisher/reps don’t give you all the options for distribution of your title(s), they are either behind the times or downright gatekeeping. Either way, it’s a disservice to you.

We took our 17 year old Shiba to the vet, in part due to his obvious uptick in anxiety. The vet goes “listen, all older creatures, people or pets, have anxiety. That’s the fear of death, whether they know it or not.” Great, now please pass the Xanax ☠️😬 (Baby pic of the shiba included).
