Morning awesome people!

I have spots open for 📚World Book Day events at your school on March 4th, 5th and 6th!

💥I offer SUPER interactive glow in the dark events where I introduce kids to African Mythology and give kids the inside scoop on being a published writer.

Please DM me for details 🙏🏾

look at me. I’m here. I’m the ultimate product of Hitler’s defeat Marty Supreme is the most intensely Jewish movie I’ve ever seen in my life, and I ended up writing 5,000 words about it. buckle up.

I poured my heart out about Marty Supreme, Jewish identity, why the Old Testament isn’t the same book as the Torah and what it takes to survive trauma

I have been printing these out and leaving them lying around on desks in the office. Nobody throws receipts away in offices just in case they are important.

a spread for a comics page, black background, with white panel borders and most the drawings white on black. upper left of the spread, a swirl of the start of a star - emanating out from it in radiating arms, a number of different paths in brick-like interconnected panel border shapes. First radiating down and to the left the life of a brown dwarf - which never quite becomes a start. the next branch goes mostly down - a red dwarf which burns longer than the current life of the universe, but the path forks near the bottom, because some of these alternately flare up during their life. the next path is a dwarf star - much like our own - which is stable until it puffs up late in its life, then burst off much of its material to become a white dwarf. Here the path forks - in one branch it lives on as a white dwarf and nebula, in the other, when it has a partner star, it steals material from it and eventually becomes a type 1A supernova. Overlaid a bit on this set of paths and the red dwarf is an example of a binary star system and a six star system. Emanating from the middle of these paths from upper left and going across the spine of the book to the lower right, is a path filled with galaxies - the path loses its border in the middle showing a collection of galaxies. Upper right path is a blue super giant as we move right it goes nova becoming in one forking path a black hole, in another a spinning neutron star - and that forks to either continue or if paired, collide to go supernova and create heavy elements. Middle of right side, molecules formed by chemistry with these atoms forged in stars. new swirls form, and then we see another generation of stars in a grid set of panels and the Planets! formed around them. This is a generational cycle and the text reflects that

Finished spread! The lives of different types of stars, the various ways they give back all they had taken in changed, and the new forms they give rise to! This took me some time to say the least! It's a lively place out there! On to the next spread (finale of this chapter!!)

I don't like AI.

Also I'm grateful to 404 for being one of the only technologically literate media companies covering tech without the breathless, uncritical (despite so much evidence!) excitement. You know. Like a journalist.

Give em $ if you can so they can keep reporting.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Oh Dear.

What about Santa?

This is the version where he's played by Jacob Elordi.

I made a Halloween comic this week for the comic book class I'm in and it turned out pretty good. *Evil laughter*…

It was probably the same video! (PS when I say it is unbelievable to me, I mean it is totally believable)

It's unbelievable to me. I saw post by publicity in publisher's office with author discussing book & the clunky sound was off the telephone. They didn't even have a lapel mic. And don't get me started on the editing. After all this time you would think they could put together a socials video.

i love that people have always been weird

Thank you Mark :)

Love this red riding hood!

It IS a monchichi. I was obsessed with monchichis as a kid, and thought exactly the same.
