Hello, new followers! I'm a freelance comic book editor, currently working on MONSTRESS from Image. Previous projects include TWO GRAVES and MOTOR CRUSH, also from Image, and about a decade ago I was an assistant editor on a whole bunch of X-Men books. I'm always on the lookout for new projects!
I'm watching The Mighty Nein and my main takeaway so far is that every character is, in some way, Nightcrawler.

The Netflix email about the WB acquisition includes Casablanca in its list of "beloved franchises." Glad to see them acknowledging the power of the 1983 David Soul sequel series!

I hate reposting this but I could really use your help this month covering the rest of December's expenses. Every little bit is appreciated.
So Medicaid covers hospital stay for my back injury , but I still need funds to cover my December expenses. I've covered rent but I need another $700-800 to cover everything else. I still am unemployed. I would appreciate sharing it around on social media, thank you!

I finally heard "Nuzzi" said out loud and I am despairing that it sounds exactly like "newsie." Even hawkers of yellow journalism would not condone this nonsense.

Hey, it turns out the water under the hallway floor was unrelated to the toilet leak! We had ANOTHER leak from a tube going to the furnace! 😔
Things I have had to replace in the past couple of months: a washing machine, a couch, a toilet, a laptop. When it rains, it pours. (Out of a leak in your toilet.)

Benson Boone has a voice somewhere between Zac and Taylor Hanson and it startles me every time.

Sorry I've been scarce here! Day job crunch time + general busy-ness + news overload has kept me off social media for a bit.

I've made all the components for my stuffed onion cups and all I need to do tomorrow is assemble, bring to a boil, and bake. That's my big contribution to my roommate's family's Thanksgiving (though I'll also help my roommate chop both yellow and sweet potatoes for her dishes).

I just got back from the touring production of Some Like It Hot and it was SO GOOD. A real shame it closed so quickly on Broadway. Everything that's great about the movie + new layers of identity that work beautifully.

I drove down to the lake to peer at the northern horizon but even with night sight on my camera I didn't really get much (or anything?). No aurora for me (or the others with the same idea).

I'm in Panera, trying to listen to the latest episode of Sarah Marshall's Satanic Panic podcast, but I have to turn my headphone volume way up...to drown out the woman at the next table ranting about demons into her phone.

I had a lovely weekend at a local Steampunk convention, drinking all the tea, but now we're back to the regularly scheduled political anxiety.

I was trying to tell my roommate about that girl who didn't recognize Wallace Shawn, and it turns out she 1) also doesn't know who he is, and 2) briefly got him mixed up with Morgan Wallen.

Very proud of NJ, especially considering the transphobic vitriol Republican PACs were texting everyone.

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.
I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Still thinking about the Springsteen movie. It really captures the essential truth of his ouvre: you can never recapture what home (New Jersey) once meant, but your home will also never leave you, no matter where (Nebraska, California, Texas) you literally or metaphorically go.

I quite liked the movie! Jeremy Allen White's Resting Nervous Breakdown Face really helped sell it.
Off to see the Springsteen movie.
