JD, you can’t eat comics.

Fanart for The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin. A scribbly drawing of mountains and glacier with two very small figures dragging a sledge across the landscape, sun just warming the tips of the mountains. Handwritten scribbly text reads "I think we might make it, he said," then over a drawing of a figure almost silhouetted in the foreground (Genly Ai) looking towards a figure whose fur-lined coat is illuminated round the edge with light as they look out at the landscape, "with that complete simplicity / I had so long taken / for irony"

Finished reading The Left Hand of Darkness a couple weeks ago and still thinking about it, and wanted to draw one of my favourite quotes. #art

It is WILD how much more I enjoyed The Martian Chronicles because the copy I read had this cover art. Decades later, my memories of that setting are colored as much by Whelan’s brush as Bradbury’s prose.

Concerned about ICE's $45 billion plan to convert warehouses into immigration detention centers? This is what they'll look like inside. From ICE's plan for the Social Circle, GA facility. Each little dot: a person. www.socialcirclega.gov/home/showpub...

Correct.

This is what I’ve been thinking. I think any of them would be great MPs, but if I have to pick a leader, I want my vote to count towards boldness.

There is a meme (which I’ve probably participated in, tbf) to scold lottery-winners for being bad at money because they often end up broke again. But, like, how much of that is just regular, non-rich people being generous once they finally can be? Whomst among us wouldn’t feel tempted to kindness?

If I had millions of dollars, no I wouldn’t, because I’d give a lot of it away. I might buy a house. But every day I see things that need money, and since that wouldn’t change if I HAD money, the difference would be that soon I wouldn’t have money once again.

art is an enemy of capitalism because art exists for fun and anyone can make it

there is a reason patronism led to some of the greatest creative output in human history

“you don’t have to spend your time and energy working on anything except your art” means more art

Everyone making enough money they wouldnt notice 50-100$ per month or so less should become a patron of the arts — commission a piece! Support an artist! Buy an art student’s project!

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.

I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

Should I be eating cookies at 10 pm? No. Am I eating cookies at 10 pm? WELL.

You only need to dig like 2 inches deep into Canadian history to see how deep the white supremacy goes.

so proud of you all in Minnesota for standing up and organizing in a way that is being honored by struggles around the world

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

I remember reading his Palestine, where he shares the idea many locals had that only a one (unified) state was viable, and thinking, I dunno about that, Joe, is it your place to say such things, but in retrospect he was right.

Requiem for Gaza In a profound and elegiac work of investigative journalism, the writer Chris Hedges and the cartoonist Joe Sacco collaborate to present the testimony of displaced Palestinians who lived through the ge...

Joe Sacco, who had already done two excellent comics about Palestine, is doing a new one! 😮 “Requiem for Gaza”, out October 6 from Fantagraphics, and based on interview testimony collected firsthand from Gaza survivors! This will be a must-read. www.fantagraphics.com/products/req...

“Individual bookstores don’t ship at a high enough volume to be able to negotiate a better rate with Canada Post – even as the cost of shipping continues to rise. Leslibraires.ca, however does + bookstores who sign up with booksellers.ca’s shipping platform have access to much lower shipping rates.”

At the con last weekend a booth was flying an old, dark age Norse flag. Part of me was like, that's rad. It's a great flag and a deep cut. Part of me was like, oh, the WORST people are gonna love this.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Non-profits, co-ops, open source, there are ways this can be done, but they’re all a lot of work, and there are absolutely zero piles of silicon valley investor cash to speed up the process or compete with all the get rich quick schemes.

Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.

The thing about a wall is, it keeps you in just as effectively as it keeps people out. That’s not just a metaphor. Canada’s (for example) new, draconian border policies, that make it harder than ever for (for example) Americans to move here, are the result of Trumpian influence creeping north.

The more of these fascist atrocities I see, the more I become an immigration maximalist. Let everyone in, give everyone work permits/green cards. Make it possible to get citizenship within a few months. Make it as easy as getting a driver's license.

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!
