I finally met my hero and the man I’m destined to spend my life with, @zdarsky.
We’re working through some things right now, but I think… we’re gonna be OK.
With a little over two days left in the kickstarter campaign, the POTS & PANELS anthology is still a few thousand dollars short of funding. There's a lot of good stuff in this book; it'd be a shame to see it not make it to the finish line.

@daigledopple@JuliusBorisov @TempleOfBall @BaldursGate@Mark_Meer Baeloth preceded my time with the BG franchise, but when I did get my hands on him I always wrote him with Stan Lee in mind. IIRC (and I may not, it's been awhole) @Mark_Meer once acknowledged Lee as an inspiration for his delivery, too.
.@TheAndrewFoley wrote COWBOYS & ALIENS W/@fredvanlente He created DONE TO DEATH w/Fiona Staples. He wrote an amazing OGN called PARTING WAYS. @PACillustration has made 1/2 of of comics twitter's biz cards & is a SICK artist! They're teaming for one insane story in POTS & PANELS!
Coming back to the hellsite briefly (I spend my soc med time these days under bluer skies) to call attention to this nifty food-themed comics anthology/cookbook I'm going to be a part of, POTS & PANELS. #PotsnPanels#pNp
First script for POTS & PANELS turned in by @TheAndrewFoley (Cowboys & Aliens, Done To Death, Parting Ways)
A story about a mafia hit squad staking out a target... & hunger... called TAKE OUT.
@CIBC If they're actually capable of feeling shame, whoever is in charge of your telephone 'help' lines is planning to commit ritual seppuku to atone for the insulting disservice your company is doing to your customers.

Over on FB, @CIBC DM'd me to strongly imply that if I physically go to my branch tomorrow, their employees WILL NOT ANSWER my questions about the letter @CIBC SENT ME asking me to call a number that I spent MORE THAN 6 HOURS on today not getting answers. #CIBC#customerservice
@cibc I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY @CIBC MADE ME WASTE 75% OF A WORK DAY ACHIEVING NOTHING.
Was it a joke? Do I not make enough money for @CIBC to at least *pretend* my time is worth anything more than a recorded "sorry" every 15 seconds?
I seriously do not know.
Can you help me? 3/3
@cibc sent me a letter asking me to call them, so I did. I've been transferred 6 times & am told the waiting time to reach the next department they transfer me to is 2 hours. How long has this call been so far?
#customerservice#CIBC#rude
@cibc ...I have no understanding, Zary. I mean that literally.
I don't understand why @cibc asked me to call.
I don't understand why the 7 agents I talked to couldn't tell me.
I don't understand why it took more than 6 hours for those agents to not answer my questions... 2/3
@koodo really does seem to want to do everything it can to avoid solving my problem. I spent an insane amount of time trying to get their digital assistant to give me any useful information, & when I scheduled a service call--well if anyone actually made it, my phone didn't ring.
And fuck you, Elon Musk. While you've cured my imposter syndrome, you've also ruined an app I used & mostly enjoyed for decades in a matter of hours, lost more money than any single person should ever possess, are a bigoted, stupid narcissist & above all, you aren't funny AT ALL.
Well the microsoft word debacle got me to break my promise to myself, but barring unforeseen circumstances this should be my last post to this dumpster fire of an app. I'm decamping to blue sky. Not a lot of people there, but also not a lot of ads or nazis. Take care, friends.
@superactionfunb@Microsoft Thanks, I think that's going to be the fallback when I finally can't take word anymore (I'd go to it now but there's a formatting thing I use a lot that only works on word). As it is, T came down and figured out a fix to the problem after I curled up fetal and started crying.
2 fucking hours trying to get newly installed @microsoft word to show my fucking cursor and it still isn't working.
1) This is bullshit.
2) Anyone got suggestions for a less infuriatingly useless word processor?
@SuzetteChan@Microsoft I'm on a mac but it *has* windows? I think? Tiina came down and fixed the problem in a couple of minutes when I finally began screaming that I was going to throw my laptop through the wall, so I'll probably keep going with word just out of sheer inertia.
