Old beardo, but still young enough at heart to want a social media platform that doesn't support white supremacy. (Sound like a laff riot, don't I?)
Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow American tooters! Just finished a long spell of hard work—looking forward to some quality braindead time over the next few....
Hey there, mastotooters! I haven't forgotten about you; I'm just on a day two of work being a non-stop shitstorm. I promise to return with actual, non-excrement related posts soon!
Whether found in Private Eye or The New Yorker, Will McPhail is the cartoonist whose work I currently most look forward to.
My intro:
-English #teacher in diverse public school in California #BayArea
-PhD candidate in #education #literacy and #culture at #UCBerkeley
-and comics podcasting at Multiversitycomics.com and ComicsAlternative.com especially #ComicsSyllabus podcast
-also partner of a heroic middle school teacher and a kid who loves #reading
-bad at brevity, but planning to post appreciative studies of comics and texts.
Last name pronounced "lie" but here to toot truth. Or something like that.
If I really set my mind to it, I could be the hot take queen of Mastodon. It's way easier to look cool spouting common sense when the whole feed is me and Steve Lieber
I think traffic busted Halcyon, y'all.
Also, I want to have an add-on that changes the TOOT button to a FERNT button.
I'm also a bit worried about some of the cool kid accounts that followed me on Twitter (that, in my heart of hearts, I suspect never got around to unfollowing me there) not bothering to follow me here but...eh, it's a good lesson in ego-culling.
I admit, I'm also curious to see if I can maybe re-invent my behavior here? Be a little more positive, a little less shit-talky? I worry that will translate to much *more* boring.
#introduction Hey, I'm Jeff, half of the Wait, What? podcast duo (not the better half). Life wasn't bad for me on the Hellsite--I followed good people and I was never trolled--but I couldn't bear supporting a platform that allows such hateful behavior. So let's see where we end up here at the Toot Suite.
#introduction my name is Luke and I spend too much time thinking about alternate universes and doing podcasts about them.

I also write comics and do some design work.
Breaking some news here on Mastodon:
December 9th, Greg Rucka and I will be having a book release party at Handsome Pizza for the Whiteout Compendium. Handsome Pizza is amazing- one of the best pizza places in Portland.
Okay, yes, this is strange. But they are huge comics fans there & they are creating a wood-fired Whiteout-themed pizza for the occasion. We wanted a signing like no other. Pizza will make all the difference. See you there! https://mastodon.social/media/9by93ePb2SKt9z0i0dQ
Well, goodnight, Tooters. Sleep safe and dream well.
If it makes you feel any better, I looked for pictures of what I ate for lunch before I posted the maudlin family stuff...
There's something almost elegant in the line drawn between having depressing conversations with aging parents & signing up for new social media.
Ah, Sunday, always over too soon, even when I manage to squeeze in a raging fight with a parent.
