Continue reading →: Stuff That Brings Me Joy: Delicious in DungeonI’ve spent the fall and winter heads down on some really unpleasant writing that I want to have done by January (which is also why I haven’t posted a comic on Hope Tantrum for awhile) and am taking a break from all that grimness to tell you about the best…

Continue reading →: doing MATILDA in 2025, pt 2: being the TrunchbullPart 1 was about Matilda and resistance, and part 2 will be a bit more personal, and most of it is about the role I’m playing.
