Paper mache and coconut doll flying away from a large tree, a distressed man, and two shambling changeling cops.

I wanted to draw Huitzol from one of @cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social's short stories in The Nightmare Box. ✌️ Happy spooky season

Cover reveal: Purple book cover with the title It’s All in Your Head in bold white letters outlined in red. Around the title are small cartoon figures: a woman in a blue top, leggings, and reclined on a pillow holding a phone, and a man in a white dress shirt and blue pants standing up leaning on the D while holding a cane and a holding a phone. Author’s name, Sabina Nordqvist, appears at the bottom. Coming February 10, 2026.

I am so excited to share the cover for IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD, which hits shelves February 10 and is now available for preorder!

bear in mind

This leaves out the part where it's an uncomfortably detailed sex scene between sailor moon and godzilla, for which the purchaser keeps demanding edits over a period of weeks.

I'm making little prequel comics of my Historical Horror Romance, and putting them on Instagram and Tiktok.

Insta is Insta, but the amount of queer kids in Tiktok DEMANDING more pages and lore is so funny and lovely 😭❤️

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

Hey @msnbc.com: You are showing a live shot from San Francisco and have been for the last 10 to 15 minutes and calling it Los Angeles.

Hell of a photo

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

You cannot stop thinking when an identity is presented to you as an argument.

You have to actually engage with the argument on its own terms.

Someone's marginality makes their perspective rarer and often neglected.

It doesn't make it true by default, or even *progressive* by default.

Turns out that @leemandelo.bsky.social's The Woods All Black is supremely soothing and gripping in times like these, where what grips me every day now is nothing soothing, just dread and bottomless fear.
