a wholesome plane has hit the second cozy tower more like no thoughts to declare

still thinking about this article today. so many societal ills are caused by people white-washing what actually happens. it's awful to see games do it too.

can't wait for cozy domestic violence simulator or cozy kkk simulator

a visual representation of that encounter in comic form

Shoutout to the beautiful lesbian couple I signed up at the library today who referred to each other as "the love of my life," you were the excellent wholesome queer presence my day needed ❤️

Most of the credit I can take is "I forgot to move it back to the sunnier end of the balcony, and it seems to have liked that"

A spray of cymbidium orchid flowers in shades of cream and dark pink. In spite of my worst efforts, they're immaculate.

Despite my brown thumb, I get to have one gardening triumph this year, as a treat.

Speaking from personal experience, this is a truly fantastic time to finally figure out you're gay, and put that into practice.

sometimes you look through old sketchbooks and find out you were cooking

You've got such a good eye for this stuff.

Ginny this is super cute! The light blues and oranges work so well together, and suit you beautifully. Such nice-looking textures, too 😍

LOL! It's also that this is so niche that it simply won't be available for Australian bookshops to order, but trying to explain that to a rabid fan who doesn't care about the supply chain is... difficult.

Ask me about the Fourth Wing Sprayed Edges debacle some time 😂😱

RIP to every bookseller currently being asked to pre-order this edition

The way my eyes kept getting WIDER through this video!!! It is BONKERS to think about how much time and care went into animating this via embroidery, a medium where every stitch has to be hand-made. Incredibly cool fluidity on display, and something deeply human too

Somewhere during my very disrupted night of sleep, the doctor in my dream handed me a bag of what I thought were not-awfully-nice snacks. But when I'd eaten a few crunchy things and looked down at the remaining screws and washers, it turned out it was actually a bag of IKEA fastenings.

Kaleb Horton, again: "It's sad how many RTs you get by saying the world is ending instead of admitting the scary truth that it's not and there's work to do in it."

Funny, if I do this kind of funny math when applying for foodstamps the government repossesses my house

See, if anyone had warned me it was a smorgasbord of awesome names I might have developed an interest years ago 😂

Each year around this time I learn one more football fact against my will, but the existence of someone called "McLuggage" is great actually

library apps should have a feature where when you're queuing for a loan you can see the reading progress of the current lender of the book and you can message them things like "a little slow aren't we?" "reading hard or hardly reading?" and things of that nature

As N observed, "people seem to want vastly different things from literature"

Bonny, in terms of willful fandom incomprehension... is this book just Fight Club for classics majors? 😨

Have you ever read a book and were unable to decide which character you should have a crush on? I have (smiley face emoji)

You ever watch someone encounter their very first satire, and then crash fatally on its rocks?

This passage was, improbably, found at the end of a review for The Secret History.

A child’s drawing of a horse with human hands driving a car, with a note: You were right: this *is* hard —Nora

I like to close out my talks sometimes by trying to draw my least favorite things as quickly as possible (horse, hands, car 😒).

A note arrived after one of these talks. I love it to bits. It’s going on a wall.

I’ve a new comic up at the COMICS OFF THE PAGE exhibition at Melbourne’s Pink Ember Studio! The exhibition features experimental comics that go beyond the confines of a 2D space. Mine is a single comic page about process that is itself deconstructed into its layers
