I've been absolutely terrible at promoting this but I'll be at SCARF tomorrow! I'll have a variety of my comics including The Curse (abstract comic about the futility of creation - fun!) and Plants Not Pets, a collection of short comics. Will be going to sleep soon so I can be up to do the drive.

Moved into a house today that I bought with my own money. Get a call from the previous owner about 30 minutes after settling in. She had forgotten her cat. It was in the attic room looking royally cheesed off.

My Dad was very likely Autistic but he never got a diagnosis because he didn’t live in a world with TikTok or the internet. He just collected Batman cards because you could do that and not have to then survive the corporate nightmare of 2026.

Am I saying this causes ADHD and Autism? No. Am I saying it makes life incredible difficult to live with ADHD and Autism? Yes People are seeking diagnosis and help to live in a world that is hostile to their minds.

The “over-diagnosis” story about ADHD and Autism is another in a predictable outcomes of capitalism. We have created a toxic environment for the human mind where the world is over stimulating, punishingly complex, and demanding.

There are no “legitimate concerns” about trans people. There aren’t any about women’s safety or fairness in sports or kids being kids or fucking toilets. If there were you’d have heard of them before 2018. I am a cis white woman so you have to listen to me or I’ll cry.

The best thing about moving to a new city most definitely is discovering the joy of all the news venues. Had our anniversary dinner in a new indie pub with a decent veggie menu. And non-alcoholic 1664 on tap.

I remember when every table at an indie comics show looked like the table on the right. Then people found out that artists were scouted for Adventure Time at SPX, and suddenly comic shows became a competition for the attention of art directors and not so much about making comics.

I hate the MCU punisher. It's so tough because Ray Stevenson and Lexi Alexander made the perfect punisher movie. Like, literally the best of all time. The dude looked like shit, lived in a sewer, and was just a piece of shit.

Chess is hard for humans, but not for computers.
One day, it will be fully solved like checkers.
Between now and then, or even after, have fun.
People enjoy many games/sports where machines are vastly betterThere are more possible chess games, by about 40 orders of magnitude, than atoms in the observable universe. To solve chess, you'd have to map them all. Good luck.

Wrong, all legal chess positions are ~40 oom less than the estimated atoms in the Universe. And ASI will figure out ways to solve and compress that are far beyond what we could possibly comprehend.
