Got a new debit card today and it doesn't expire until the 2030s, and I stared at it for a very long time thinking about that.

Artists! I am looking for a Jewish illustrator for a middle-grade project focusing on Jewish history, practice, and culture. If your style feels fun, MG-appropriate, and both editorial & narrative, please drop a link or DM! (And editor & agent friends, if you have someone to rec, it's appreciated!)

I keep seeing people say "I didn't have that on my bingo card. "

Where y'all getting all these bingo cards from?

Also, just so you know, the vast majority of things won't be on your bingo card. That's how bingo works. Otherwise it'd be really easy to win.

I left my living room for ten seconds during this episode to get a soda and when I came back it was live action.

Bitte orca, orca bitte!
Bitte orca, orca bitte!
Bitte orca, orca bitte!
Bitte orca, orca bitte!

Ahh, thank you!

Looking at a cover by @rachaelstott.bsky.social from an unannounced thing that just knocked the fucking breath out of my lungs.

I'm just walking around my apartment going "holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit..."

Did they announce the creative teams? Asking for an enemy.

That was a banger.

Tweet reads: someone a decade+ younger than I asked me if I saw the Matrix in theaters and how cool that must have been

Saw it opening weekend and hated it so much, lololllol.

Comic book writers don't write the words and phrases I learned from comics as a kid. No one's out there stealing baubles or not asking for quarter and giving none anymore. And who shall lead them? How would I know, these days. Instead comics today are only about the damn scorpion and the frog

Absolute has been "absolutely batshit crazy," in terms of sales, and Marvel Rivals have driven new readers into stores, per Murray. And the new formats like Compact Comics are delivering for these new readers as well.

This conversation my partner had with their three-year-old... 😆

Marvel Rivals: Timestream Adventure – Let The Entanglement Begin Nerd Initiative's look at the new Marvel Multiverse RPG One-Shot, Marvel Rivals: Timestream Adventure

A great review of the upcoming Marvel Rivals adventure comic that Paul Allor and my son Marty wrote for the Marvel Multiverse RPG!

Two panels from the Monstro Mechanica comic book series. Isabel, Leonardo da Vinci's apprentice and currently also drunk, asks Alessandro, grandson of Lorenzo 'The Magnificent' Medici and most handsome man in Florence who the new captain of the guard will be. Alessandro says me. Isabel asks since when. Alessandro responds since Tuesday. Isabel then looks at him with an expression that says wut.

I've been wanting to include Isabel and Alessandro from Monstro Mechanica in my #ValentinesDay art posts as well, but sadly we never really had the chance to hook them up properly.

I made damn sure to take *every* opportunity to draw them gradually realizing they're kinda into each other, though 🥰

I don't disagree!

Can't believe it's already been a week since that nurse lectured at me for half an hour about keto dieting, buddhism, ableist bullshit and wild conspiracy theories ("Bill Gates invented GMOs to sterilize poor people") while I just lay in my hospital bed, reminding myself she controls my health.

Glucose now being continually monitored.

WAIT, is injecting heroin as easy and painless as insulin???

Hell yeah

I was so terrified of insulin for years and it turns out giving yourself non-painful little pokes in the belly is actually kind of fun!

...shit, I need to write a children's book about this, don't I?

Back in the gym today. I did five easy two-minute rows with a thirty to sixty second break in between, and then ten air squats.

That was genuinely one of the hardest workouts of my life, haha.

The hospital gave me two types of insulin, which I admit seems excessive, but one of them just brings it down after meals and the other is long-term and keeps me healthy in the long run.

They approved the after-meal band-aid but not the one that keeps me healthy.

I almost died and these evil motherfuckers won't approve my insulin, and then ask me if I'd be willing to "hang on the line to answer a brief survey about this call" after they tell me so.

Tread on me.

Ope, crash.

...weirdly good except when I break down crying several times a day, I just realized I forgot about that part because i'm feeling weirdly good right now!!!!

I'M GONNA LIVE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!
