DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM CASEBUS. I got an iPad case shipped to me this morning. It is utterly WORTHLESS. I didn't check the reviews thoroughly enough. If I had I would have seen they are rated as basically a scam. www.casebus.com

For the last few years I’ve been working on a new book. This in the middle of a studio career & an amount of commissioned writing. I’ve never written fiction. No idea what I’m doing. Tonight I sent a partial draft to a dear advisor. The most I’ve ever sent. I want him to push me to the wall.
I am ridiculously late posting this, but I can't wait to hang out with these folks. Please, do come, these are wonderful, smart, funny writers. SUNDAY 12/7!!!
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Anyone out there know a lot about disability protocol and the TSA? Really need advice. DM me if you can.
Once again, Golem Girl is not out of print. We are having a problem with Ingram distributing it. If you or your bookstore wants to order it, you can get it directly from Random House. Please pass on this information if you are able. This is a frustrating situation that I cannot seem to fix.
This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.
Honored to be part of this article on the strange life of the Mütter Museum. Thanks to Rachel Monroe for ending the story with me. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I am a member of both NPR & PBS. Yesterday saw the decimation of their funding by our government. What legitimate government wants its people to be stupid & uninformed. That is not governing. That is abuse in the service of creating thralls. Become a member of public media as quickly as you can.
I am writing a book about Batman and Robin, sort of, and once again Brian has sent the perfect gift.

Thank you, Jane Yong Kim, for including some of my thoughts in your homage to the great Christina Ramberg. www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...
The Artist Who Captured the Contradictions of Femininity
In her too-short career, the painter Christina Ramberg studied the many contortions that being a woman can demand.
