JD, you can’t eat comics.

JD makes comics and teaches kids but not at the same time. Vancouverite, librarian, cartoonist, and history enthusiast. He/they www.phobos-comic.com

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

This isn’t the whole thing, but part of what’s going on with Bluesky management thinking this space is a liberal bubble is that this site has an INTERNATIONAL userbase, and while the rest of the world also has our homegrown right wing lunatics, MOST of us are normal (liberal, by US reckoning).

@adamconover.net and i are texting each other just saying "holy shit" or things of that nature a lot lately and it's always about like, did you see g'kar just put on a hat in front of a picture of daffy duck

Despite the Westjet strike disrupting my whole weekend and condemning me to two days trapped in my car in smokey, hot weather instead of flying, working for half of your day without pay is messed up. The flight attendants had every right to demand better and the bosses should pay up.

I think it also revealed just how quickly a bunch of otherwise very hard problems can be to solve with global collective action. The fuckin Ganga was running clear water for the only time in my lifetime because for 2 weeks nobody threw garbage in it. The canals in Venice had fish.

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

I don't think theres some larger conspiracy here to prevent us addressing them or anything, just that if we actually all pull together for really short periods of time, thats all it will actually take. We cannot allow a handful of greedy assholes to hold back our whole species

The number of kids I have contact with in any given year numbers in the hundreds, so yes, I know kids who lost parents AND teachers during the first couple of years of covid. It was devastating and life changing every single time. Whatever we did to stop covid, it wasn't enough.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

Man. Whatever. Nobody is “cancelling” Hank Green. Considering all the actual criminals who still have jobs in entertainment, the guy with a million followers who runs his own media company isn’t losing his job. There was discourse about him. Which I’m sure feels bad. But that’s not the same thing.

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠
