Dude I’m so exhausted 😭😭😭

Well, I didn’t expect to cry today. Reasons why I really need this man in office and also reasons why I’m never fucking leaving this city.

Wow. An ad that’s a full-throated understanding and specific support of the LGBTQIA+ community. I’m impressed to the level of “Can this ad truly be coming from a Democrat?” level of impressed

If anyone is wondering how exhausted I am from NYCC I have lost my bottle of Motrin I assume somewhere in my house. Fun ADHD times 😂

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

You should be concerned about the rate of authors leaving publishing. Especially from marginalized communities. This year I have seen so many authors just pack it up and go. And it's only getting worse.

Shout out to @boom-studios.com for mentioning Banned Book Week AND donating 5% of their share of the proceeds of The Center Holds to the Hero Initiative. That’s why I love this comic publisher. Good folks 💚

I think you mean extremely popular demand! Was a pleasure to meet you yesterday 💚

I’ll be signing at the dc booth today, and then heading over for the next big thing panel to talk ultimates! Finally, I added a signing tomorrow because everyone was angry with me. My father in law will be there so please show up so he doesn’t think my job is fake

Don't listen to anyone who tells you that Rumiko Takahashi comics aren't feminist enough, didn't challenge enough, didn't change things. Takahashi changed manga completely, but the effects she's had on everyone else's comics is sometimes subtler but no less intense. She blew up general fashion, too.

Happy birthday to Rumiko Takahashi. Prob my favorite mangaka.

It’s October which means it’s been a year since I emailed @kithbooks.bsky.social and went “hey what do you think about a short story collection?” I for one think now is the PERFECT time of year to pick up YOU ARE NOT YOUR BONES if you like queer shit and hauntings that aren’t always literal :)
