Don’t even know if this is a good idea but here I am. Comics. Dog. Unionization. Trying not to lose my grip over the state of the world.

I wasn’t sure I’d like Bluesky, but every so often someone reminds me I’m not the only person who cares about the folk/punk/hip-hop interplay and then I breathe deeply and happily.

I have kids and young loved ones of draft age. Many of your constituents do. Many of your Republican colleagues’ constituents do. Just saying, give me a place to stand and a lever . . .

Wanted to give a shout out to @edidin.bsky.social for his ADHD coaching services. I wouldn’t have gotten over the hurdle of getting my first video done, with a medium I haven’t worked in before, without his help! He offered great insight, perspective, and practical methods that were invaluable.

. . . a color family/specific shade range. Otherwise the other thing I might recommend would be getting a cream face palette so he would have more variety to mix with and shade match

Asked my theater/make-up expert kiddo. She says “I haven’t found that photo analysis software works that well… in that situation I would recommend he ask any makeup wearing friends he has to take a good look at his complexion and maybe swatch any products they have on him to circle around . . .

There hasn't been enough focus on how little experience JD Vance actually has in politics, he is so shockingly unqualified to be doing stuff like this. He's like if the kid from Big discovered white nationalism at the fair instead and woke up the next day as vice president of the United States

Portland Public Schools faces mid-year cuts due to just-discovered shortages PPS officials already have a million-dollar budget deficit for next year, but they also have more immediate money problems.

Portland Public Schools is facing a $50 million deficit in next year’s budget. Now, officials are reporting a “mid-year operating gap” this year due to higher transportation and maintenance costs, costs from federal lawsuits, a gap in levy funds, and costs for seven emergency facility declarations.

Spouse and I had mild words about Dems not being a unified body for STFU. I said I’d be madder at their disharmony if I thought Jeffries could get everyone to sign a f’ing retirement card for Janet from accounting.

The Beasts of Burden Omnibus with cover art by series co-creator Jill Thompson. The cover shows five dogs and two cats reacting to a skeleton laying in a bloody ritual circle in a front yard. The series is about household pets and strays that defend their neighborhood from an occult plague that sees ghosts, witches and monsters threatening their hometown of Burden Hill.

The BEASTS OF BURDEN OMNIBUS was published last Feb and is still available to be adopted by comics readers, pet owners and horror fans. "Dogs and cats defend their neighborhood from the occult" might sound like a silly kid's comic. It's not. Winner of 8 EisnerAwards. Ck it out.

Repeatedly watching how she pulls the mic away when he speaks on private equity & I can't stop thinking about the way that our employment system forces people into craven cowards that have to do real-time self-preservation calculus that results in actions that conflict entirely with class solidarity

I will not be watching the STFU tonight. I have knitting to do plus have discovered a You Tube channel with many episodes of Square Pegs. In case anyone needed to know how I do it here.

You could have stood up to this when it mattered, but back then it was cringe & you care more about your identarian signaling than you care about marginalized populations, so you didn't. You should feel bad about yourself & you should keep "never again' out of your mouth. You don't mean it.

"Oh, I didn't want *this* much racism & xenophobia! I just wanted a little bit, the fun kind! I just wanted to say 'retard', I didn't want a eugenicist in charge of health policy!"

Oh? You didn't want this? Yeah, fuck off. Fuck off to space. Fuck off to eternity. Fuck off & never stop fucking off.

You don’t have to be there, DK. Just some journalists justifying cooking themselves in the nazi soup because other important people are there?
