Hey everybody hey do you know what today is?

That's right: it's GWENSDAY!
Today, the web-swinging adventures of GHOST SPIDER continue at a comic book store near you, with the release of SPIDER-GWEN: GHOST SPIDER #7!
There aren't words for how much I love my job, how much I love my girl, or how excited I am by what we're building here. Every person in the process is incredible to work with, and I am so honored to be a part of this team.
So please, proceed to your local comic book store, offer them your money, and request a copy of SPIDER-GWEN: GHOST SPIDER #7! You won't be sorry! I will applaud you.

Time for your second Toby introduction! My dearly beloved A LOCAL HABITATION.
Because it took me a decade to re-write book one into something saleable, A LOCAL HABITATION got to be revised at least six times before it could settle into its final form.
Book two in a series is always in an awkward place: not hot, fresh and new like book one, not comfortable and comprehensible like book three. It has a hard row to hoe.

With the October Daye series on the Hugo ballot again, I figure it's time to introduce y'all to the pieces in play. We begin with ROSEMARY AND RUE.
ROSEMARY AND RUE was my first novel. I originally wrote it when I was eighteen years old, meaning I finished draft one in 1996. I spent the next twelve years rewriting and improving it, until it was finally purchased in 2008, and published in 2009.
ROSEMARY started out as a fourteen-page short story called "Of Koi Fish and October Dayes." It was, at the time, the best thing I had ever written. My girlfriend read it and said "Toby wants a novel."

I won't be seeing the new PET SEMETERY. If they'd stuck with the British shorthair for Church, sure, but they cast a Maine Coon, and I can't.
It's not horror or sadness or disgust that's making me go "nope." It's jealousy. Pure, simple, burning jealousy. How DARE they get this choice, while I didn't? How DARE they?
You can say that sometimes dead is better from the security of being able to prove it. I would have been halfway over the deadfall before Alice's body had even started to cool.

Finally got to the comic store to pick up the last installment of Laguardia by @Nnedi

So sweet, so sad, so hopeful. I mentioned in a subthread, but feel it bears repeating. I LOVE that Dr Okorafor's stories are explicitly presented as pieces of ever expanding story tapestries.
You never get all the ends tied up, because life goes on after. There's never "and they lived happily ever after" because the world continues.

Yes, it also leaves you always wishing there were more, but it also makes it feel like there IS more, even if you don't get to read it.
So, in short, GO to your local comic book store and GET THIS COMIC. Because it's lovely and sweet and strong and hopeful and the art is amazeballs and expressive. Will be passing on my copies to a friend who NEEDS to see it and buying the collection as soon as my store has it.

Look below. Titled "Why I have done nothing productive for two weeks." (She will be okay, God willing. She has cholangitis, the poor creature, and hepatic lipidosis. So I need to feed her--and give her medication--through that tube five times a day, at regular intervals.)
I adopted her when she was but a wee kitten, in Istanbul. You can read the story here: catstantinople.com. I adore her.

But she is not, as you can imagine, happy to have a cone on her head and a tube in her nose. Feeding her through it five times a day has caused ...
... some stress.

For example, when I tried to pill her, she freaked and squeezed herself through a hole in the tiles in my bathroom wall and disappeared *into* the wall. This photo makes the hole look much bigger than it is. I measured it; it's 7cm at the widest part.

With the upcoming Neil-Gaiman-orchestrated "Dreaming" line at DC comics, I thought it might be time to revisit Neil Gaiman's wonderful "Sandman."

(Sandman: Overture #1.)
It's funny, I was just thinking today about the late sixties paranoia about cultural psychosis and insanity.

Modern pop culture is similarly fixated on the idea of insanity rippling through the popular unconscious.

"Legion", "Westworld", etc.

(Sandman: Overture #2.)
It's almost surprising that it took as long as it did for Gaiman to write for "Doctor Who."

Gaiman's abstract/symbolic cosmos is very much in keeping with Russell T. Davies' approach to concepts like "the Time War."

wandered into another social media, happened upon a post from a woman who's happiness I care about. She likes to post 30 line paragraphs with snapshots from her life, detailing her life struggles with being depressed and finding new work, >tfw no bf, the like
She's trying to self actualize and explore her true self and be more of an active agent in her own life, and it's all very textbook I guess. I just care about her.
She has recently been to a concert, she tells us. but the kicker: she went alone. She had been worried about doing so, because it was unusual and she hadn't done it before, and it was new and strange and what if I'm doing something wrong somehow

When I was 9 or 10, a new guy started working the counter at the comic book store where my friend Todd and I went for our X-Men/Teen Titans fix. This guy had long hair and a wispy beard. This guy played Mercyful Fate on the store's stereo. 1/
Naturally, we did not trust him. Once, we overheard him talking on the store's phone, saying words we did not recognize or understand. Our first thought, obviously, was that he was using drug slang and that we needed to stop him. 2/
We left the store, went to Todd's house, and hatched our plan. We would call the store, pretend to be drug users who would like to make a buy, he would agree to be involved in this transaction, we would tape the conversation and present it to the police. 3/

I think we often have really unproductive conversations about gentrification because we don't have language/a vision for what it would look like to have quality services in a neighborhood *without displacing people.*
[thinking about this as I reflect on the one-year anniversary of the Whole Foods in Englewood]
many folks are against the Whole Foods in Englewood because it's seen as a harbinger of gentrification.
