I don’t usually do promos, but when a friend whose art you love has a project going… Even if you’re not into tarot, I think of it like having a mini art gallery.

This is super cute and I regret not accepting a duck offered to me when I was at WonderCon.
I got to pet a ferret and somebody gave me these two miniature rubber ducks. In which other corner of publishing are conventions this fun.

Talking to someone at my LCS. It came up that I was in journalism in high school. My high school’s “newspaper” is now a glossy magazine. (When I was in high school, it was still on newsprint.)
… the person I was talking to told me their high school paper was done on a mimeograph.

Dear Canvas: why the heck are you sending me a notification e-mail about an assignment for a class I’m not even enrolled in this semester?

I like how the College hasn’t posted registration dates for summer/fall for students yet on our school website (or e-mailed current students the dates), but has sent dates out in an outreach e-mail to non-students. 🙃

Asked our prof to check the multiple choice portion of our last exam and tell me which question I’d missed.
It was one question—I accepted that I’d gotten it wrong. All fine and good.
What wasn’t great was the sound he made upon seeing the exam scores of the rest of the class. 😬

Friend: “You know The Last Bookstore?”
Me: “Of course I know The Last Bookstore—who do you think you’re talking to? I haven’t been there, though. Y’know. SoCal.”

A friend took the tome of a graphic novel I was reading off me to see what it was. I explained that it was a recent Joann Sfar book as they flipped it to the cover. (They had introduced me to Sfar via The Rabbi’s Cat.)

I will say, though, that even though I was being a butt about it, I probably know roughly half the capitals if I stop and think about it.
Half isn’t great, but it’s not nothing. 😅

We had a geography quiz in class. Surprise: “Bonus points for capitals.”
I’m sorry—you’re lucky you’re getting countries out of me. I’m not even going to try for capitals.
(Same prof who found out after fifteen years that there *is* something I’m bad at. That something is geography.)

Prof before class made a comment about vaguely wanting to visit Tataouine, because of Tatooine. Classmate was thoroughly confused.
Both me and our prof, simultaneously: “Y’know—Star Wars?”
Nope.

Me: THAT’S NOT HELPFUL. WHAT DOES “START” EVEN MEAN. GIVE ME PAGE NUMBERS OR CHAPTERS. 😭

A (non-Chinese, non-Asian) friend did their best with “恭喜發財” today, and I am admittedly kind of touched that they bothered.

Okay, I need someone to settle a debate for me about #JewCE ( #JewishComicsExperience).
Pronunciation: “juice” or “juicy”?
Because I have some strong feelings about this, but don’t actually know that I’ve heard it said out loud.

I was behind someone at the boba shop. They ordered a brown sugar boba latte and then told the person at the register they wanted “no sugar.”
I *really* wanted to be like, “Say your order again, slowly.”
The person at the register just paused, then went, “… you can’t have no sugar in that drink.”

The College is promoting an event and using branded fanny packs as enticement.
I read the e-mail and just… who told marketing this is what students want?
(Or am *I* out of touch??)

Went to a comics show today! Very old-school, no celebrities, no toys, no movies—just comic books everywhere.
I dug through a bunch of dollar and two-dollar boxes, and couldn’t have been happier.
