@adamgreeney MY NEW NIBLING <3 Auntie Maddie's paying for his first vet visit to welcome him to the family. DM me your Venmo. (If he stays, I guess, I know I'm rushing to conclusions. We found Ripley in Jesse's car engine. Sometimes cats just find us and that MATTERS.)

Why unopened? Raised on Marvel, loyal to paper, strictly at DC for Vertigo at that time, probably had other copies of this disc. The problem then was NOT CD-ROMs, though that is in fact the problem now

[Jesse Russell @cometstarmoon]

Pulled @madolan's copy of "Preludes and Nocturnes" off the shelf and discovered this unopened CD-ROM featuring "900+ pages of artwork from DC Comics' Top Titles." Is it worth finding an external drive to play it?

The prayer plant is sprouting some crazy looking blossoms.

@_Irene_Adler This is blatant Swede erasure! The crew already has a beautiful siren, thank you very much. 😙

@tedraimi My name is Maddie, and I have a beloved cat named Raimi. He gets extra love today for your Madeline.

⚡️Mykolaiv zoo asks public to buy tickets to save animals from starvation.

The southern city has been under attack for days.

The struggling zoo, which has been shut down, is asking the public to donate by buying tickets online: https://t.co/GRvc54QR36

Message from Parovoz Speak Easy in Kyiv 🇺🇦

As someone born & raised in Odessa for roughly 1/3 of my life, who spent the other 2/3 in America, I know that most people don’t know much about Ukraine - which I get, I have many blind spots, so I thought I’d tweet some little basic things in case it helps make it real 🧵

This will be the last video I watch for a while. But I want everyone to see what’s happening in EUROPE

[Maddie Greene @madolan]

Support the locals' language. It's worth changing our spoken and written habits to reflect Kyiv rather than Kiev. (My Ukrainian co-workers were visibly delighted the first time they saw "Kyiv" on my screenshare.)

[Mary Louise Kelly @NPRKelly]

Seems like a good day to re-up this one.

[Mike Madrid @madrid_mike]

A lot of Americans who think that freedom fighting is about not wearing a mask to Costco are about to learn something from the brave people of Ukraine.

[Maddie Greene @madolan]

@NPRKelly It was you pointing to Ukraine on a map that cemented my eternal fangirlish adoration. Be safe and keep pointing out the facts. https://t.co/5stCAOPyB5

Important piece of journalism about an important show (but I declare the skeleton song the funniest sketch).

This gorgeous old tree burned for ten months. It almost bridged two years' fire seasons.

SMOLDERING TREE: This tree in Big Basin Redwoods State Park was still smoldering from the #CZULightningComplex (10 months ago), but has been extinguished. #BigBasin and the entire fire footprint is being monitored. #CaWx

@Jennifer_deG Startled my household but good. The kitten HATES earthquakes, that amateur. He will learn.

[Maddie Greene @madolan]

@Storagezilla I think about this ghastly article a LOT, and how it punched down (at fans, at women) instead of up (at Ellis for creating the reward system). It's another symbol of how broken comics can be. And I hate seeing my friend's picture mocked on this piece.

[Maddie Greene @madolan]

@adamgreeney Look at you, leveling up in life like the badass you are! I love it. And I love YOU. One million percent on your side now and forever.

[Maddie Greene @madolan]

Big announcement. Thank you for listening to our voices, @ImageComics, and caring about beneficial transformations in the industry.

Our statement on Warren Ellis:

[Maddie Greene @madolan]

Warren Ellis is capable of greater things than silence. SoManyOfUs laid out reasonable options. I don’t think we set the bar too high.

[Maddie Greene @madolan]

In addition to the collective public statement, here are a few personal opinions on the #ImageComics #warrenellis #Fell #somanyofus imbroglio (a word I learned from comics, by the way; thank you Chris Claremont).

[Maddie Greene @madolan]

There are SO MANY paths to progress. So many ways to do the work. Or even make people THINK you’re doing the work. It feels strange to see Ellis’s return without even a nominal gesture toward repentance or progress. I want to believe he’s capable of more.
