I'm working on a short zine about suicide prevention and wanted to share some of the bullet points and notes I have from a training I attended a few months ago.

Went to feed the cat and noticed the tupperware in the fridge had a label with "captain Kirk" crossed out and "Princess Admiral food" scrawled beneath. Not sure if it's funnier that the cat stole Kirk's lunch, or that Kirk ALSO eats overcooked chicken, squash and rice mash.

We all need to say "I love you" to our friends more. I just got on my phone for the first time in a couple days and the kind but vague messages told me there was Bad News before the news did. I do not want to immediately associate "I love you" with "things are bad"!

I read a lot of Adam's books at my old night job (most his novels fit in a pocket). This one I remember volunteering to babysit the wash (a hot, humid, labor intensive and LOUD job) because while the machine was running I had 26 minutes to read. Absolutely worth it. Go read it somewhere more comfy.
Reminder that all orders at my shop now until Sunday get a free copy of this book. adamgnade.com/shop

It's fun how we have no control over what meaning readers/viewers find in our work. The best interpretation of any of my art I've ever seen was that: "he clearly hates himself, see how his hair is a red scribble? That's his self-loathing." I thought it meant I was too lazy to mix orange but okay.

My crappy little scanner I used for most of my scanner art finally gave up the ghost! It scanned so many things it wasn't made for. I will miss it.

Printing out copies of a zine I made several years ago and agonized over. It's text only, which I've never done in a zine before!

I tried to look through my spouse's phone to find good pictures of me... I didn't realize just how often I passed out in my arm chair holding the cat until I was confronted with the evidence.

The latest installment of my Sunday newsletter is a transcription of a conversation I had with my friend @oblivionspin.bsky.social It's at Substack. I love Erik's writing. I think it's an important, timely thing that could help a lot of people.
