out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...

i am working on a very, very long blog post that could really have fit into a skeet: When someone posts that "this website/journal article/etc proves my dramatic claim!!!" and then does not link to the website, journal article, etc, it is because it does not in fact prove their dramatic claim.

"Everything is very uncertain and I find that soothing right now."

Do I love and miss all my friends I met on Twitter/follow here? Do I yearn for the days of inside jokes and being enmeshed with the comics industry? Yes. Did having *one post* get seen a couple hundred times smash through months if not years of decoupling my self worth from likes? Also yes.

Oh no I posted on a social network and now I'm being perceived, time to disappear for six months again.

I just want the #batfamily to have an animated show so bad

A slightly expanded statement for the sake of transparency: I wish the industry loved *anybody* as much as we all love comics and each other. But especially WWAC.

I love WWAC and I love everyone that's ever written and worked there. I can't wait to see what they all do next, and I wish the industry loved them and their work as much as I do.

@karlyn-darlin.bsky.social FRIEND

I hope all of my friends know that every time their ears burn it's because I'm bragging about them to somebody.

Brag: I was @oliversava.bsky.social's first follower.

Hi friends I'm probably still going to try to limit my social media time for my ~*mental health*~ but damn I'm glad to see so many of you on here.

The Mothmen got distracted again. 58/100
