There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury
The voice-clock sang, breakfast was ejected, but no doors slammed. The garage chimed and lifted its door to reveal the waiting car. The house sat alone in a city of rubble and…

The Trump admin is back with version 2.0 of its higher ed compact. The reason is simple: The first one failed. Compact 2.0 lacks egregious elements of its predecessor. That’s a victory & affirms that the answer to authoritarianism is organized resistance—not compliance. www.aaup.org/news/new-com...
New Compact Shows Resistance Works, but Fight for Higher Ed Isn’t Over
The Trump administration is back with a second version of its higher education compact. As with its predecessor, the best path forward is for higher education workers to organize and demand that their...

My rather ill-advised and entirely unfair sketches of presenters from #GraphMed2026. But -- I'm drawing!

Donald Trump is claiming China overthrew our government. Is he declaring war on China? No? Then he’s lying. Again. Or he’s a coward. Again.
In all seriousness, Trump and Republicans are setting the stage right now to attack our democracy, steal our elections, and violently crush any dissent. Wake up, America.

President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance are committed to lowering costs for all Americans, securing our borders, unleashing American energy dominance, restoring peace through strength, and making all Americans safe and secure once again.

Today's sky outside of Boston feels so unnatural. Though I rationally understand the reason -- Canadian wildfire smoke -- it still leaves me disconcerted. Sepia-toned, dustbowl environment, almost like Arakkis from DUNE. How is everyone holding up?
The support of the Comics Advocacy Group (CAG), @comicsadvocacy.bsky.social, which awarded me a "Mini Grant" in 2025, was crucial to the creation of this book. Thanks again 🧡
Does the word "etymology" also apply to investigating a word’s meaning before translation? I feel like there might be a better term here for me to use...
I am both excited & flattered to have been quoted in @satnitt.bsky.social's EX-POSITION journal article, "Provicializing Graphic Medicine: Perspectives on Indian Graphic Medical Narratives." It is time for a "global guild" beyond only a Euro-American framework! ex-position.org/?page_id=3119
