I say this as someone who is pretty lenient with standards : this was an AWFUL comic.

The covers were GORGEOUS.

The art and story felt rushed; it was like witnessing someone try to make a patchwork quilt out of items like silk, wet paper towels , and pieces of washcloth. #comics #comicsky

I fear I've fallen in love with the Mark Brooks animated-style covers.

I am so tired of being taken for granted. I refuse to put up with it, so now I have to clean house.

I'm SO behind on comics right now. I have STACKS of comics still in their bags and I'm tempted to stop buying comics until I finish them, but I'm afraid I will fall behind on so many stories. Maybe I will read a few titles through and then see if I want to continue with them. Sigh.

Absolute Carnage is one of my favorite comic book runs.

I picked up this cover at #NYCC last year and I am hoping to fill in some of the missing issue gaps I have in my collection.

Another one of my older comic boxes fell apart and spilled out a bunch of comics. Some of you know of the Great Comic Avalanche of 2024 so this triggered me a bit 😅 I sorted through the spilled comics and saw I had two copies of the Obama and Romney Wins issues from 2012. What a time to be alive...

Found this as I was cleaning up the Comic Avalanche of 2025 😭 I don’t remember ever reading this but I’m willing to bet I bought it because of Kirkman. CGC it is.

There were a LOT of messages and comments asking that I bring these prints back, so I caved and put them back up on my website for preorder :)

This cover really does something to me!! I was so happy to snag it on EBay because I couldn’t find it anywhere 🥲

Spotify recommended something called a “ day list “ to me which is a playlist of tracks that match the mood for that day- afternoon-night. I’ve barely listened to my own playlist since lol

Thought I could pseudocode and then write script out on the train

Realized that I should have made a flow chart first to manage all the possibilities 😭 #python #codesky

#TheNewGods is kind of growing on me, but if it wasn't for the breath-taking art, I would have given up on it first issue. For a story that clearly has a lot of love thrown into the visual aspects, it annoys me how awful the onboarding is for new comers. Love the variants though! #comics #dccomics

Spent 40 minutes trying to figure out why my if statement wasn’t checking both variables for an empty string

Only to find out I needed to put:

If variable_1 ==“” and variable_2 == “”

Instead of

If variable_1 and variable_2 == “”

I keep forgetting you have to script as if talking to a baby 🤦🏽‍♀️

The last time I tried to learn Python, some things were easy and other things like while loops did not make sense to me

I tried again and I looked at the screen— everything moved around in my head and it made sense.

Maybe last time, I just wasn’t in the right mindset 😭

I received this Amaryllis on February 16th and I kind of just left it in the window. I was not expecting anything like this! It’s my first time having one of these beauties🥰 I changed its pot and the last pic it looks soooo happy ❤️

Depression really eats up your memory. As I am reorganizing and scanning my collection into inventory, it’s like opening a time capsule;

I forgot how much of a fan girl I was for Captain Marvel, Captain America, Batman and Carnage.

It’s weird seeing what kind of person I was through comics lol
