Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

This gallery of ICE crop/seed art at this year's Minnesota State Fair is incredible, especially the one based on Pablo Picasso's Guernica by Jennifer Nelson, which features the last words of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Morse code: www.cropart.com/Resist.pdf

Five clay dogs buried under a palace doorway at Nineveh around 645 BC. Each one has its name written on its side in cuneiform. Expeller of evil. Catcher of the enemy. Biter of his foe. Loud is his bark. Don't think, bite. That last one is an instruction, written on the dog, addressed to the dog.

like most people, there is a tremendous void in my life that i attempt to fill by drawing one million clowns

yeah man "woke 1" sucked ass. I "woke 1" morning from uneasy dreams to find myself transformed into a giant insect

UPDATE: Here's why I couldn't find the story about Aunt Charity teaching Charity to sew in Walden's book (which Cleves claimed Walden used without crediting Cleves). Because it's not in Walden's book at all. Cleves made that up. Read @thene.bsky.social's essay. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...

Charity and Sylvia: the extraordinary claims of Rachel Hope Cleves

4) Cleves says the story about Charity learning to sew from her aunt is uncredited. Unknown. I haven't been able to check if this is true, because I can't remember where in the graphic novel that story is. (If anyone knows the page number in the gn, let me know, please.)

truly loved editing this piece from @annaleen.bsky.social on how well-funded public transit systems could transform our lives let’s hear it for journalism that helps us imagine a future that’s not fucking terrible!! www.coyotemedia.org/funding-bay-...

A Modest Proposal for Funding Transit Instead of AI

In the ’60s, the Bay Area almost got a high-speed train from Marin to San Jose. What could happen if we dreamed big again?

Wonderwall as a victory song in the Azteca feels like a microaggression

Everyone acting like it wouldn't be funny if DR Congo knocked out England is lying to themselves, which is a sin by the way.

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

#makeaterriblecomicday2026 went to a pretty awesome show in the park so i made that my comic for today :)

early days but so far my favorite thing about how Alexi is being treated by his deskmates is that there's four more weeks of it coming

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

I don’t think other people should have to learn about California politics. It’s not like California voters do

california state-level politics is so cursed that it should be a felony to expose non-CA residents to it

the fencing visualization system i worked on with rhizomatiks is coming to los angeles this weekend 🤗

(202) 224-3121 is the capitol switchboard for connecting to any senate or house office; even if you've never called; even though the lot of them are useless. no abominable war crimes, no war, no.

I am on Team Lola fwiw, because Lola is a banger & celebrates its protagonist & subject of affection. Specifically the version recorded by The Raincoats. They didn't modify the pronouns and it made an already queer song that much more luscious in its provocations.

hourly comics day 1/5

This last week is a real demonstration of how capacious, yet flattened the word "violent" is in our political discourse. Political assassinations are obviously, clearly violent. But the same word has been used all week to describe protestors damaging objects--not people, objects.

I feel compelled to remind everyone that our local transit service has anime mascots and continues to table at local anime events. It's very good.
