Announcing SOFT PHYSICS, a print collection of 5 science fiction short comics I've contributed to anthologies over the years, now available for preorder!

Librarians, this video is specifically about the intersection of manga and our current situation, and I was interviewed for a bit of it, so please give it a watch!

Also was no one going to tell me how hot James Iha is?? I just had to find that out all by myself??

The radio hits interspersed with either sweet indie melodics or metal prog rock ballads makes this a real funky album but still super inline with their sound I think

Okay just finished the double whammy of Mellon Collie and it’s interesting! Was starting to kinda lose me there in the middle of the second album but dragged me back in at the end. It’s kinda of shock to the system after the last album with how many songs there are but I’m sure kids were delighted

It’s also funny to think about HOW many people Corgan has been able to piss off during his lifetime, it’s actually fairly impressive

Were I a precocious 90s teen into the Pixies/Sonic Youth/etc, I’d be delighted to be handed something like this

Been awhile but I’m currently more than half way on the Smashing Pumpkin’s “Siamese Dream” (1993) for the first time and I’m understanding why so many 90s teens were OBSESSED with this

I'm glad more news outlets are speaking out about this. The intentional erosion of the federal government, and its disproportionate impact on Black women, is not a coincidence 👇🏾

The gameplay is NOT great but at least it is easy??? Wanna unlock all of the frog characters before I abandon it lol. The girl shown above is “Keroleen: A fashionable and cute princess.”

A picture of a hand holding a Kerokeroppi virtual pet toy. The toy is bright green and shaped like a frog head. A girl frog with pigtails is shown on the screen.

Omg sorry for no updates on this thread for so long BUT I cracked open a new baby in celebration of finishing my book!

Holy moly last page, last day of pride, what an ending!!!

You got this shit!!!!

So today is also a good day to reminder everyone that it is not an "honor" to have your book banned. It doesn't increase sales. It doesn't land you on the elusive banned books B&N front table.

What bans do: harm individuals, erase identity, destroy democracy.
Book bans are attacks on freedom.

Yeah he’s going to ALA too

The Splatoon kids still keeping it real

A screenshot of the Animal Crossing Pocket camp complete widget, featuring a quote from Pascal that reads, “Maaan, fallin’ in love is so weird. Every time it’s like you never felt that way before.”

Okay Pascal has some bangers every now and then

I despise these selfish fucks with every fiber of my being.

I don't want to alarm anyone, but hoopla has a whole dang 2025 eisner nominees section. You can just... read them all. For free. And support your local library at the same time. 😱

That’s specifically for me, the desert lizard 🦎

Anyway, here for a library conference, what suggestions do folks have for my week here?? About to hit up the Beguiling 👀

In Toronto! Shit, I’m so late for TCAF 😭

One of my favorite birthdays was driving up to Santa Rosa and checking out that museum!

sending 500 marines to a county of nearly 10 million people to stand around holding their dicks with nowhere to sleep is not actually the sign of a successful declaration of martial law
