Hey friends,

I wrote a book.

It's about two little robots. It's about navigating a world where robotkind is little more than a disposable commodity.

More importantly, it's about friendship, valuing one's self, and finding a purpose.

You can read more about below.
This week's webcomic episode of Phantom 2040: A New Shadow changes everything!

Watch my review of the latest from @comicskingdom.bsky.social over at Chronicle Chamber!

Found out today that one of publishers of a comic I'm reviewing actually watches my reviews, so that felt pretty cool.

Keep showing up for neighbors, friends, and family. It's our empathy, compassion, and desire for lifting each other up that will see us through this.

Don't give up.

Let's think about this 50-year mortgage thing for a sec...

Let's say you're super lucky and buy a home when you're 20...

With a 30-year, you'll pay it off at 50.
With a 50-year, you'll pay it off at 70.

70!

And how much in interest would that be over 50 years!?

Bad idea... jeans...

Somedays you remember that we really can come together as Americans and work toward what is right.

The USDA is out here threatening grocery stores who offer discounts to shoppers who are enrolled in SNAP.

The disdain, inhumanity, and cruelty the Trump Administration has for its citizens knows no bounds. #snap #snapbenefits

Take care of yourselves and your neighbors as best as you can. And don't let any pressed suit divide you from your community.

We all need each other, now more than ever.

The positive energy of the #nokingsday protests have really been fueling me.

Maybe it's a hammy example, but the united front really reminded me of the "You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us" scene from the first Spider-Man film.

Protesting is a beautiful thing.

We talk about exercising our rights as Americans, but there's something to be said about the energy & camaraderie of being among people from all walks of life.

When we protest together, we come together over ideals that we cherish & wish for each other.

This moment in time is one of those crucial moments where practicing what you preach carries the most weight.

Stay strong. Stay true.

Despite everything, I still managed to bang out part 1 on a new article series for Chronicle Chamber and make some nice gains on a new horror short story.

These days, we take the "W" where we can.

People who lack the capacity to imagine, create, or build something meaningful often turn to blaming or demonizing opponents to cover their inability to accomplish anything.

Hopped on X-Band: The Phantom Podcast to discuss issue 1 of 'The Phantom' from @madcavestudios.com.

We talk likes, dislikes, and the mask controversy that's shaking up the international audience for the character.

That said, I am PUMPED for issue 2! #ThePhantom #comics
