Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

Wheels up for Burbank. LA friends & family, my schedule is busy but I’d love to make time for a bite or a drink. ComicsPro pals, I can’t wait to see your faces. My body is cranky but my heart is yours.

My parents got together as teenagers: here, it is 1972, Nixon was still in office. My dad was scorned for his “long hair,” my mom is wearing a shirt that says “vote” even though she wouldn’t be able to for another two years.

A colorized photo of two white teenagers, a young woman wearing thin-rimmed glasses and a shirt with the word “vote” with stars, and a young man wearing a wide-collared button-up shirt and fluffy dark-brown hair. She is smiling with full teeth, his lips are closed but one corner of his mouth is smiling.

Today I was laid off from Dark Horse Comics. While devastating news, I'm so proud of what I helped make there and am grateful to have worked alongside such amazing coworkers and creators. I'm not quitting comics yet, so if you or someone you know needs a savvy editor please reach out.

Today in relatable science: Gulls making a mysterious daily trip that turned out to be to a potato chip factory

A map of flight paths emanating from breeding colony of gulls, with this caption: Early on, LifeWatch noticed something odd. Most gulls were making daily trips to Mouscron, a city on the French border 65 km away. They went to investigate and found the birds bingeing on discarded snacks at the Roger & Roger potato factory.

Well. I did it. I submitted my book on the history of how the US government has removed Indigenous children from their families. From colonization to removal to boarding schools to today. For middle schoolers. I think it's the first book of its kind. I can't believe I got to do it.
