To cap out this incredible week, a giant box full of Phantom comics from Australia, Finland, and Brazil was just dropped off at my doorstep. I am overjoyed. #ThePhantom #Fantomen #Fantasma

Exhausted. Lumbering around like a zombie today. But I did bank a win. A reader thanked me (wait... what?) for a short story I wrote. Happy to know something I created made an impact. #writing #writersky
Trying out something new. A little scary. A little exhilarating. But totally cool. Just submitted a panel pitch for C2E2 next year. Fingers crossed!!! #comics #c2e2 #thephantom #comicbooks
In the current 'The Phantom' storyline, the Ghost Who Walks is facing off against a villain, Ian Mollusk, who CLEARLY is based off a very real evil dork of a human being. #ThePhantom

I found this little Phantom book (from 1945!) In a used and rare bookseller all the way up in Baraboo, WI. This find compelled me to take a deep dive on these little books, so much so that I wrote a whole article about it. www.chroniclechamber.com/post/the-pha... #books #comics #thephantom

Didn't know I needed the wild ride that is Roger Corman's 'The Raven' with Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, and Boris Karloff. This weird wizard movie healed me. #horrormovies #rogercorman #theraven
Currently about halfway into 'It Came From Neverland' by Cynthia Pelayo. Perfect gothic horror vibes for this time of year. I love it so far. #books
At work and at home, if there's one thing I can count on, it's being surrounded by wonderful people.

This editorial from the Cornell student newspaper is indicative of why it's crucial to have independent journalists holding truth to power. May the Cornell admin. & the monsters they're protecting face the judgment & prosecution they are long overdue for. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...
EDITORIAL | Cornell Won’t, We Will
The Editorial Board demands that Cornell stops protecting the alleged Chi Phi rapists through the University's opaque sexual assault policies.

Was a little too ambitious in my PowerPoint party contribution for this coming weekend. Wanted to educate my friends on the Godzilla franchise, but I have too much to say. 21 slides in, I just wrapped up the Showa Era. I will have to plan 3 more PowerPoint parties for subsequent presentations.
Explored the new Anne Frank exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry today. It was exceptionally moving, emotional, and I was not expecting the museum to recreate rooms from the secret annex.
It's Friday. I breezed througj John Carpenter's 'Cathedral' (out now @stormkingcomics.bsky.social ) while listening to the accompanying album, and I have thoughts! New review below: youtu.be/xLlkRzzSU4g?.. #bookreviews #graphicnovels #johncarpenter

My short story, "The Mask Slips," is out in the wild today thanks to The Means of Production Literary Mag. It's supernatural, grim, and born of a very real terror we're living under. I hope it resonates. Read it here: www.themeansofproduction.press/the-archive/... #shortstories #writing

How far we've fallen that the reaction to a President of the United States straight up bribing voters is "Well, he probably won't pay it" instead of "Holy shit, a President of the United States is straight up bribing voters!"
