Fun fact, indie booksellers are always happy to order books, even if they don't have them in stock, for you to pick up in-store or have shipped. Heck, you can even ask faraway indie bookstores to ship a book, or you can purchase through bookshop.org and support indies across the US and the UK!

I also feel like his body of work really disproves the persistent claim that joyful, hopeful, funny, romantic or lighthearted stories are inherently intellectually lesser and can't be Real Art
Taking a break from the sickening tragedy to focus on the beauty for a moment. Rob Reiner achieved something so rare and coveted that artists and entertainers dream of and rarely achieve: cultural permanence. How many times have you made a reference to something going to 11? Shouted "Inconceivable"?

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

THE ITERATIONS ARE THE FUN PART

THE BEST ART OF CREATING IS THE TIME YOU TAKE TO MAKE YOUR BLORBOS LOOK JUST RIGHT AND ERASING THAT HAND SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE FINGERS ARE OFF

Rob Reiner had one of the most wide-ranging audiences of any American filmmaker. People rewatch his films with nostalgia and joy. They quote them with parents and pass them down to children.

Ignore the other one's commentary. It's like a black hole commenting on the sun.

More ideas. We’re not going to run out of ideas but generative AI is a tool for people who don’t want to be involved in the step between idea and art. People whose own ideas will never evolve or become more complex because they don’t actually want to interact with or examine them.

APPEAL! is my urban fantasy story about a Werewolf Lawyer who falls in love with a Single Dad Vampire! 🐺💘🦇

I've been wanting to do a BL comic for a while, so I drew a concept book (and a short comic!) about them and the witchy hijinks of the vampire's Magical Girl Daughter! 💖

Jesse Hamm had the take to end all takes on children's media. "People who disdain writing ‘just for children’ fail to realize that those children will remember what they read, maybe for the rest of their lives. You’re not writing for permanent children; you’re getting an early start on adults.”

At one point I was in the weeds on three graphic novel contracts and I told myself I wouldn't think about The Next Book until I had at least two contracts down.

I'm finally down to the last GN so I've started writing again and it's been a breath of fresh air to have time and space for new ideas.

What's funny about that Animal Farm trailer is it is an abomination and also exactly what you'd expect a soulless corporate reimagining of the story to look like. What a time to be alive.

It is astonishing how much the most powerful government in the world hates this one individual guy.
Breaking news: Kilmar Abrego García cannot be re-detained by U.S. immigration authorities, a federal judge ruled, acting on fears raised by his lawyers that officials intended to take him into custody just hours after he was ordered released.

Abrego García’s lawyers raised fears that he would be taken into custody less than a day after he had been ordered released from an immigrant detention center.

Nice term you've got there. Sure would be a shame if everyone started using it wrong until it's useless for communicating the idea it was originally invented for.

We often talk about the pressure to always show up in American society. Go to work sick! Power through! The practice of law takes that to an unhealthy extreme, and then we wonder why rates of depression and addiction are so high among lawyers.

I know I complain about making graphic novels a lot and it's bcuz I'm working on books around a full-time job I need to pay student loans and a mortgage and publishing would prefer it if I was independently wealthy so that I could focus on their contracts full-time without needing to be paid.
