Grandma died last week. She was the heart of our family in so many ways and radiated love into the world around her. This piece is a tribute to her and a life of love and memories. mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2020/08/12/a-l…

Superman AND Spider-Man teamed up this week and in this li'l piece I explore why I think this sort of comic book crossover best exemplifies the pure joy of childhood and superheroes! #Marvel #DC #ComicBooks mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2026/03/27/sup…

@PagesUnbound Happy to help! I just reread Kurt Vonnegut's 'Man Without a Country' last night and it's probably been twenty years since I picked it up. It was so good! It reminded me why I fell in love with literature in the first place :). It was good for my soul.

@My_ComicRelief Ooh, that's a good question! I'll have to think about that!

I have a backlog of reviews to write, and I think it's because I haven't enjoyed a lot of the books I've read recently. I want to write a postive review!

Harley Quinn is one of my favorite Absolute Universe designs so far! In this li'l piece I explore how they've captured the core of her character perfectly while creating something entirely new. With thanks to @Ssnyder1835 and Nick Dragotta :D. mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2026/03/21/abs…

Hey! Did you know #SpiderManBrandNewDay dropped it's first official trailer?! They did! And I have THOUGHTS and FEELINGS and THEORIES. If you'd like to know what they are and chat about yours, well read on! mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2026/03/18/spi…

Ex-Blockbuster employee here. And I mean it with 100% sincerity that the world would be a better place if we shut down all streaming services, re-opened Blockbusters and video stores worldwide, and shoved people back out into the world to find and enjoy their entertainment.

Yard sales are a goldmine for physical media—stacks of CDs, DVDs, and the occasional hidden gem, all for pocket change. But there’s an even better resource that people overlook far too often: your local library. Libraries aren’t just books...they’re community treasure troves stocked with music, films, audiobooks, and more, all curated by people who genuinely care about expanding your world. You can borrow an entire catalog of media without spending a cent, and every checkout helps justify funding for the very institutions that keep knowledge accessible to everyone. If you want to support the folks who dedicate their lives to enriching your community, start by using the incredible resources they’ve already built for you.

Hey! Guess what! Have you ever wanted to try reading Spider-Man comics but were unsure where to start? Well you are in luck! I solved that problem for you forever now! This li'l piece tells you which comics to start with! Huzzah! #MarvelComics mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2026/03/14/whe…

Omg this is incredible 😂😂

So frustrating.

How much time do you spend thinking about heists? If you're like me, it's A LOT. So in this li'l piece I look at the roles in classic heist movies to figure out who I (and maybe you!) would be if we were pullin' an elaborate heist. Read on to know more! mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2026/03/08/who…

I love how many readers are checking out DC's Absolute Universe comics! In this li'l piece I explore why...and why it's so exciting these versions of Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman are speaking to so many people! mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2026/03/07/ref…

I hate that I had to grow up in the generation that got to see what life was like before the internet and then have to watch as it single-handedly destroys every single social entertainment space. Video rental stores, movie theaters, malls, arcades, bowling alleys, etc. The infinite access to at-home entertainment is turning us all into lazy, antisocial, depressed hermits and we’re just willingly allowing this to happen to us. The long term ramifications of this are so dire.

No show has ever affected me as deeply as 'Scrubs.' So now that it's back...you can bet I have FEELINGS. In this li'l piece, I reflect on all the show's meant to me in the past twenty years. mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2026/02/26/scr…

I have waited 15 years, 11 months, and 8 days but SCRUBS IS BACK, BABY!!! I cannot even begin to express how excited I am! It feels like going home or My Homecoming, if you will. Huzzah!

@PagesUnbound Yay! I'm glad they came out well. But maybe next time you'll have to prioritize baking some vanilla ones :). Though, given the choice, I'll pick chocolate over vanilla cupcakes so your culinary efforts couldn't have gone any better as far as I'm concerned!

@My_ComicRelief They were delicious! Although I prefer vanilla cupcakes and these are chocolate.

Cupcake baking!

“What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years.” — Carl Sagan
