if you really don’t like thinking about or trying to figure out a story’s structure, you probably don’t like…writing? which is fine? you can go do literally anything else?

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

Last week, outreach and community folks at our local community college (shout out HPN/TRIO at Chabot) hosted my students working and dreaming for their futures. This is everyday work for them. But it is transformative and necessary, the daily labor of equity.

Exactly. Deniz and I want to make comics that feel like comics, pure language. That doesn't happen if there is no work and participation on the part of the readers. The reader makes the comic possible.

But really, it was all down to you guys, the readers. You made Martian Manhunter an unexpected hit. Your faith in us is really remarkable, and so touching. I know Javi feels the same way -- deeply proud and deeply moved. Thanks for taking a chance.

Another exhausting week of teaching. Ed Dept cuts, another sign of troubled times. My and other friends’ positions cut bc district budget crisis. Woke at the usual 5:30am but on a Saturday, walked to the great local diner (Fifth Wheel, San Leandro), and let coffee, sausage, and kim chee console me.

Bukayo Saka represents something powerful and profound for Arsenal. He swept through the academy groups, his application as impressive as his ability all the way through, and he was given his chance at age 17. He has never looked back. Crucially, he has never changed. ✍️ @amylawrence.bsky.social

Bukayo Saka represents something profound for Arsenal and those who hope to follow him

The 23-year-old is a role model and an inspiration to younger players at the club who wish to take the same path to the first team

Here's a piece on Ethan Nwaneri. When is the right time? How much is the right amount? Arteta is careful about trying to get that right. He's phenomenal. He watched Odegaard and Saka in up tempo perfect harmony, from the bench, and then came on and performed. www.nytimes.com/athletic/594...

Arteta wants to build Nwaneri's career brick by brick but the teenager has already earned the respect and trust of his senior players

John Lewis would like a word for those Dems immediately rolling over to accommodate the demands of fascists testing the waters of exclusion. All that talk about “good trouble,” but ignoring the more powerful half of the quote: “necessary trouble.” 1/2
