Someone recently asked me what is my most anticipated comic of the year and it's THIS ONE:

I've been watching The Pitt and it's very good at showing what absolute saints medical workers are and please can we invest in healthcare and education instead of AI and police?

It is always a good day to buy poetry books.

Martin Scorsese saying Now, this is a film that you show to someone you care about as a way of possibly trying to say something that you can't put into words.

Lol Jamie sent this to me right before I posted about it.

We are who we are. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yesterday my brother was telling me about his trip to Florida and how he went to a bar called The Worf. And I said, Oh! A Star Trek-themed bar? He was like, "No, Katie. The Wharf. W-h-a-r-f." Honest mistake, really.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Essential (1/3)

Oh, I forgot a word there. Black CAT Friday.

A screenshot of my year-end round up from the Korean website Lezhin. It says I'm in the top 0% making me a master. There is a cartoon dog drinking an energy drink and it has a speech bubble that says "Not a want. A NEED." Which is accurate.

I read over 200 bl manhwas and mangas last year. This apparently puts me in the top 0% of readers according to Lezhin. Lol. Ask me anything.

The Sistine Chapel painting with god on the right reaching towards my cat Bruce, on the left. She has her paw extended toward him and looks like a fat little grey angel. It is perfect.

Highly recommend photoshopping your cat into the painting as @mckelvie.bsky.social did our cat, Bruce, many years ago. It will bring you joy forever.

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours.

please keep sharing with your networks.

Lol it was awful

It is sad, but also funny, I think. Bruce was magical and I know she meant a lot to a lot of people. <3 Very grateful to Elyse for letting me talk about her.

A photo of my fluffy grey cat Bruce lying on the grey carpet next to me. She has green eyes and adorable little paws. I miss her so much.

I recently was on the Dead Pets Podcast talking to Elyse about my cat (Princess) Bruce who was the love of my life. You can listen to it here: open.spotify.com/episode/1c0r...

As 2025 comes to an end, "I'm coming to the cottage" has me in a chokehold and it's all I can think about. Happy New Year, queers. 💖

Seriously. It's just a not a nice way to move through the world but I feel we've been given little option.

A screen shot of text that reads: Yet another reason why "A.I." fucking sucks my ass hole. Coming across anything fun online now comes with a necessary pause for a call up to the booth for review. Like waiting to find out if it was a catch or not in the NFL. Inspecting the movement of the blades of grass. We are robbed of spontaneous delight.

This from @lukeoneil47.bsky.social's Welcome to Hell World newsletter. Spontaneous delight is one of my main reasons for being alive so, yeah. This sucks.

No! Don't look it up! Lol Don't look up the other ones either.

Or do. And JOIN ME. I need BL friends so bad.

Also Physical: Asia was incredible. Start with the first season of Physical:100 then go straight to Asia. It's so fun and now every time I'm at the gym I'm like, hooowwwww. Competitors on Physical: Asia are superhumans.

The second season of Culinary Class Wars went up on Netflix. I love Korean reality competition shows and the first season of this was incredible. I've only watched the first episode but it ended with me shouting at the TV so if you want a fun holiday watch. There it is.

(It's Killing Stalking on Lezhin. It gave me nightmares. Don't look it up unless you are an advanced BL reader. I did a wholesome cleanse with Zero Centimeter, also on Lezhin. It helped a bit.)

After explaining the plot of the most recent BL I'm reading to Jamie he said, "Are you going to be arrested for reading that? Is that even legal?"

It might be even crazier than Mr. A's Farm. Or the snake spirit one. Or the dad one(s).

This is so messed up and so opposite to how Disney operates I didn't think it was true. But it is! What a fucking dark and wild ride we're on.
