It's weird that, as a reader, it feels like comics come out super fast from month to month. Ephemeral things. But being in the weeds of comic production, it feels like every single issue is climbing a mountain.

In addition to tabling with Zoe, I will be on a panel with @ericafails.bsky.social, @meakoopa.bsky.social, @joshcornillon.bsky.social, @al-ewing.bsky.social and @philjimeneznyc.bsky.social moderated by Connor Goldsmith about--what else?--queer superheroes. www.flamecon.org/queering-the...

Well, that's the thing about dopamine and people. Everyone gets it from different things, depending. And this tech is addictive by nature. Will it be that way for everyone? No. But it's definitely designed to be and I think it's wise not to assume anyone is immune. Sort of like cults and propaganda.

As a confirmed dopamine addict who has thrown myself off bridges and out of a plane in the past chasing some of that sweet stuff, I genuinely don't get it

Trying to slim down my monthly bills and thought it worth noting that which I simply refuse to cancel because I find them too important for, y'know, the world: PBS, NPR, and the NPCA. If the federal government doesn't care, I'll have to care instead.
