That is an acceptable answer

Go ahead, tell me how this drawing could possibly be any better.

(don't actually do that. Just enjoy the drawing)

Catching up on my Margo Maloo, and hot damn, does Drew Weing draw some of the best backgrounds! Cartoony but also in razor sharp perspective and with perfect little details. The plants in the foreground are not just fudged. Love it.

Zebraham Lincoln. Is that anything?

Hello! I will be running a writing workshop for ages 6 and up tomorrow in Tucson at the Nanini Library at 10:30 am. It's too hot to do anything else! Come see me! Okay. pima.bibliocommons.com/events/6823e...

Hi Sylvia! Hope to meet you in September.

The "I decide what I say" argument...I don't know if this is a reductive, but:
If a person says they go by Michael, you *can* reply, "That's great, Mike."
You know how movies often have characters like that? You notice how it's screenwriter shorthand to show that's the worst character in the movie?

I think that...might have been my favorite Superman movie? Can that be right?

You had me at "no raisins"

That's love—you made a cake you will not eat

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

My ears are burning

Hi Frank! Thank you for spreading the word. This was a pretty amazing message to wake up to (yes, I just woke up. Jet lag).

S’ym and N’astirh

I may have misspelled those, too tired to check

It is!

Some video games are weird.

A prissily angry and mustachioed man clutches a painting. The text reads, "'MINE!' he screeched. But in a classy way, because he's a prince. Then he turned and shouted, 'EVERYONE OUT!'"
