I've been getting some nice fan mail lately about a young readers' graphic novel I made with @binglin.bsky.social back in 2022 called Expedition Backyard. It's about nature in the city, and it's goofy and sweet, and kids like it! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/621132...

After taking some needed time away, I’m back seeking new TTRPG Narrative Design work! I love writing character-focused & somewhat macabre stories, and am looking to collaborate on writing with creators who wish to build games with equal parts intensity and compassion in mind ☀️ 🔗 below to contact!

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.

HEY PUBLISHERS: pay attention to this entire thread; and recognize that a HUGE part of the problem is assigning comics projects to editors with no comics knowledge or experience. Editing comics is a discrete discipline, and when you don't recognize that, you fuck both creators and yourself over.

100% yes!!! The essay "We Are the Mountain" by @laviecestmoi.bsky.social gets into this; I'm constantly recommending it to folks because it's such an important reframing! psychopomp.com/fantasy/augu...

"I am open with my sexuality to anyone who asks in the hallways of Merrimack Valley, which leads me to wonder: Should I be removed from the school if parents find the topics I speak about inappropriate?" Whew, this teen's editorial is GREAT. www.concordmonitor.com/2025/12/12/m...

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

"There’s a freedom people are craving because they’re feeling so constrained, surveilled and, frankly, threatened in so many other spheres." Zines have made a resurgence as communities seek to share information on everything from ICE raids to local elections.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.
