This is extremely sad news to me, I love J. Todd Anderson's work, when I say Cohen Brothers films have a big influence on my current graphic novel project, I actually mean their storyboard artist. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/m...

man if i already didn’t hate the NYer for how they handle artists there, seeing their art editor described as a “claude whisperer” really fucking seals the deal huh

In 2000 my income would be pretty liveable but alas I don’t have a time machine.

I'm currently looking for a grant/funding to conserve three reels of film with severe vinegar syndrome that feature footage of Jewish life in Europe 1935-1939-- does anyone have any advice?

@Mayor.nyc.gov's NYPD reforms, announced this AM, are inadequate & fail to actually confront NYPD's culture of violence and impunity. Trying to get the NYPD to police itself has never worked -- the family of #WinRozario and all NYers deserve more. Read our full statement:

Incitement to discourse, baybeeee

I have this crazy idea that people should have some say over what happens in and to their homes and that when you pay to live somewhere that should give you ownership over that space. Leases are an incredible grift, rent is a scam. Make landlords illegal.

My building just installed these deranged signs like all over the building which definitely adds to the homey, welcoming atmosphere in a place that charges increasingly high rent and offers no amenities.

paywall is down!

Study: When Minneapolis clears a homeless encampment, the surrounding area experiences a sharp uptick in drug overdoses for several days afterward New research findings shared with @axios.com >> www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

The sheer number of papers I get every semester containing the phrases "through all time" or "throughout history" or "from the beginning of time" implies some cabal of teachers before me, telling my future students this is a reasonable way to start an essay, and they are my personal nemeses.

Because porn is a critical part of queer history. It was some of the only queer-owned media and a radical and positive documentation of sexuality at a time when it was being violently suppressed elsewhere.

I spent an afternoon with Loyd Powell and Robert Conn, who run the Heart of Leather Foundation in Houston. Their dream is to open a museum of LGBTQ history. Until then, they have over 35,000 artifacts sitting in storage, and they let me see them: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Fellow adjuncts have you read/ what did you think of The Adjunct by Maria Adelmann?

what is a job where i’m doing all the work i’m doing now but I get paid for it

Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth. Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockers—despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month ‘tapering’ period. This is a complete betrayal.

It was Shigeru Mizuki - comic artist, antiwar activist, folklore archivist, and general cultural titan.

I truly hate whoever came up with “overselling” in the sense of “i know you booked this travel method for an actual reason yet bear with us we also sold it to many other people so we don’t have it for you.”

Is this dystopia? It feels dystopian.

Last night, Border Patrol & Fisher Industries, with the cooperation of Mexican authorities, cut down the tree sit platform and safety lines, leaving the tree sitter stranded 100’ off the ground. She has no water or supplies.

If i was teaching one-off comics and art workshops, what thing do I do that you would like to learn how to do?

Pretty lucky in the friend department.

Continuing posting on making comics accessible for blind/low vision readers, this part of our comic shows 6 possible ways of translating just a single panel, to really illustrate how one size doesn’t fit all needs. Accessibility is messy & an artistic act itself! spinweaveandcut.com/mitcomic/

the crazy thing about making time for any creative pursuit is that you literally have to do what you have a gut-deep yearning to do or else you'll see other people doing it, and it WILL make you insane.

Knicks owner Jim Dolan built himself a private surveillance state. Now he's spending millions to give New York a governor who supports Flock, ICE, and AI data centers. My latest in @wired.com ... www.wired.com/story/madiso...

Once again the theme of this year’s inktober is “draw your goddamn book.”

If you ruin the ~ bright futures ~ of Ivy League rapists, who will you rely on when you need a wet signature for state-sanctioned murder?
