how it feels to lock my cat out of the bedroom during prime sunning time because she barfed and the mattress protector is in the wash

I've only gotten a handful of the Retro carded Joes, Flint, Duke, and Scarlett I think

The last thing my dad said to me was that he wished he had spent more of his life being angry online about space movies for children.

I have a Hamlet fantasy novel adaptation brewing in my head, that I might get to around, ohhhh...2035 at this rate

Tragedy: Hamlet.
Comedy: Twelfth Night
History: Henry V

Covers of The Dragon Has Some Complaints by John Wiswell and Kill All Wizards by Jedediah Berry. The Dragon Has Some Complaints: "In this humorous fantasy from the author of Someone You Can Build a Nest In, a dragon whose three heads bear rather different... personalities finds family in the most unexpected of places." Kill All Wizards: "The barbarian traveled far to consult the empire's wizards. Instead of helping, they ensorcelled him. Now the barbarian plans to blend in with their vile society and kill every wizard who wronged him."

Happy to see KILL ALL WIZARDS in this month's ABA/ Netgalley digital box, right next to @wiswell.bsky.social's THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS.

Bookstore and library folks—if I may be so bold—why not check out . . . both? (I certainly know what I'm reading next.)

A red white and blue duke action figure, with a white shirt, white guns with red star detailing, blue pants, it's just awful. Really the worst.

So Hasbro is doing a subline of various toys for the 250th birthday of America (sigh). And even as a Duke Apologist I can't with this. My dude looks like he's been playing with the faction paintjob mods in Fallout 4.

Cast Iron Gang Rise Up against The Interloper

the new principal who took over last year drove an F250. he had only ever worked in office jobs. he lived in the suburbs in Harford County. He was like 5'3"

Student parking lot at the school I taught at was FULL of F250s and similar gigantic nonsense driven by teenaged boys who should never have been near a vehicle that big

Larry Hama has complained at times about being barred from getting a cup of coffee in a greenroom at a con because he wasn't a bit player in two episodes of Stargate, instead just a lowly comics writer/editor/penciller/inker/legend

I see them EVERYWHERE in Bear/Newark. I see a giant gleaming black pickup with 4-wheel axles on Rt 7 fairly regularly. I wanna scream YOU LIVE IN THE SUBURBS at the driver every time

$519 for an author table is wild. Even if you're making $10 per book (which is only if you're hand selling author copies, self pubbed copies, or remainders you bought) you have to sell like crazy to make that back PLUS transport, parking, food, etc. Just impossible for a midlister to make $

You should post more pictures so the rest of us can enjoy it

If I DID get a truck I know I'd immediately get leaned on to help my nieces and nephews start moving into dorms.

There are kei trucks that have the same bed size as just-off-the-line F150s these days

I don't need a truck. Really I can't even invent the flimsiest pretext for it.

But the heart yearns.

this puts every recent model American truck straight into the trash

It's so beautiful.

sometimes i post a thing that i think is normal/boring and i get a really weird response and i remember that people are really Going Through It out there

A very bad drawing in blue ink of a martini glass with a winding decoration around the stem and a cocktail stick leaning against the top. It has a little face drawn on the glass and is saying "Drink me!" Beneath the glass he is named Drinky the Martini.

This is an old friend that used to keep me company during faculty meetings.

every fast food ceo rn

Thanks for the reminder that I forgot my creatine this morning

Between trading in this one, and turning credit card miles into gift cards, I had almost $500 in trade. So not TOO bad

Dave looked like a man who'd eat a fast food burger with you, not like a human suit piloted by tiny aliens

RIP to a real one, Dave Thomas, who wouldn't ever go in on these shenanigans

I am so glad that social media didn't exist for most of my 20s

i am not responding to the "what's the dumbest thing you've ever done" prompt because I would prefer not to get arrested or fired thanks

that fucked up apostrophe is going to BOTHER me

no, the check goes to me.

I am stretching the def of "classic" for the bit
