When you tame it, I hope it makes for a docile pet.

I don't feel comfortable clicking the little heart button, given the content, but I do appreciate you doing this work.

There are approximately 22 million children under 5 in America.

Quality Childcare costs $15,000 at the high end (varies by location).

Universal Childcare for all Americans would thus cost approximately $330 billion per year.

We could have universal Pre-K for less than they are spending.

Took the time to block that dude. Worth it.

Didn't notice the woman tax exemption.

Did notice that YouTube seems to hide shorts (for me, at least). Maybe it's a net benefit for your reach, but I find the non-shorts-tagged videos show up in my subscriptions more prominently. Curious if it's possible to upload in both streams?

That's good parenting.

1. Library access is worth it. We can all pretend Amazon doesn't exist.

Colorado State University (go rams).

As I said, we're still early in the process. Currently wrangling with curriculum requirements and budget uncertainty. There does seem to be a student audience, if we can keep from stepping on faculty and administrative toes.

My school is starting to work on a design thinking/visual literacy certificate that would bring together classes in Art, Design, Communications, Landscape Architecture, Journalism/Media, and others. Currently spread over at least five Departments in three Colleges. Very early stages.

This will make my wife much happier than the silly flowers I got her for Valentines. Thanks for the tip!

We try

There is grace in the attempt.

My significantly better half always says "you have to clean your room before you go outside to play" whenever she hears about wasting huge sums of money on space race nonsense while we so many problems to solve here on earth.

I'm glad I came across this kickstarter while it was still funding! The artists in the book all chose to publish anonymously so they can't spread the word- please take a look. Thank you @comicsworkshop.bsky.social for supporting this :)

You, sir, are a genius.

The automated thought balloon thing seems cool too.

Best of the comix for Liam I've seen so far, and they've all been good.
