I'm really proud of the work I did in 2024 – not just the quality of the work (pretty good) but of my "work-life balance." I finished a graphic novel while employed 9-5 and I still made time to travel and see my friends! Crazy...

Hotblood! hits shelves next year 😎

TIL that because of a mistranslation Jimmy Carter told the Polish people in 1977 that he desired them carnally and that he had left the United States to never return.

I'm wondering if, as a society who cares about vulnerable people, we could stop saying "traumatize" when we truly mean "upset"?

I am sick of hearing sad books or movies "traumatize" their readers. I simply do not believe that happens. A traumatic experience might be adjacent to books (I have vivid memories of books I was reading around certain experiences and even how the contents of those books affected my processing of the experiences). But it's not caused by the book. And, y'know. The weather is Christofascist Censorship Attempts outside.

Meanwhile from the other side I continue to be surprised at just how badly people fail to understand trauma and traumatic experiences in general. Watering down the term isn't helping. Find other hyperbole to express that The Bridge to Terebithia gutted you, chewed on your heartstrings, and made you cry your first pair of contact lenses right out of your preteen eyes.

you either die a blogger who answers every bad faith criticism or maladaptively oversensitive misunderstanding with earnest explanation or you live long enough to become the sort of person who replies to shit with “yes, I think every cat and every person who likes cats should die immediately, that’s exactly the conclusion you should be drawing from what I said”
