Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates!

Coming to the end of the gardening year here at the House of Inconvenient Stairs. Waiting for a few zinnias to set seed so I can collect them for next year, but other than that and a few straggler tomatoes, it's just a matter of watching everything gracefully subside as we lose the light.

Ivan Turgenev's "Execution of Troppmann" is a short essay, published in 1870, that gives a first-hand account of the writer attending a public execution in Paris. Turgenev's details how the drunk, unruly crowd turned a somber moment into a carnival. A deeply moving essay; I encourage you to read it.

Pete Hegseth says Americans will be able to watch a Trump-approved firing-squad execution. If he follows through, the U.S. could join a disturbing club of countries known for public executions—including Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea.

I hope everybody has fun at NYCC. I'm still in Washington because I am theoretically doing a banned book event w/ Jonathan Evison out on the Kitsap Peninsula this weekend, but in true peninsular fashion they haven't given us any final details yet. I do not have FOMO at all I swear 😭

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever.
