So excited for this new book by Kathi Weeks!!

Derek R. Trumbo's column is well worth taking the time to read.

If you want to read voices of young artists in Iran, please support the comics anthology "Young in Iran" published with @comicsworkshop.bsky.social It's 264 pages, 6x9 inches, and was censored by Kickstarter. Take a look: www.sequentialartistsworkshop.org/saw-shop/p/y...

After sexual violence, it's victims who get punished the most. Victims who lose their jobs and have to leave their industries. Victims who lose their friends and support systems. Victims who lose their health and sanity. Perpetrators might lie low, sometimes, before being handed it all back.

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.

The Beginning Comes After the End Notes on a World of Change by Rebecca Solnit Rebecca Solnit offers a thrilling account of the sheer breadth and scale of social, political, scientific, and cultural change over the past three quarters of a century. In this sequel to her enduring bestseller Hope in the Dark, Solnit surveys a world that has changed dramatically since the year 1960. Despite the forces seeking to turn back the clock on history, change is not a possibility; it is an inevitability. The changes amount to nothing less than dismantling an old civilization and building a new one, whose newness is often the return of the old ways and wisdoms. In this rising worldview, interconnection is a core idea and value. But because the transformation is obscured within a longer arc of history, its scale is seldom recognized. While the white nationalist and authoritarian backlash drives individualism and isolation, this new world embraces antiracism, feminism, a more expansive understanding of gender, environmental thinking, scientific breakthroughs, and Indigenous and non-Western ideas, pointing toward a more interconnected, relational world.

I wrote a book! It's trickling out, already in some bookstores. And I'm doing a bunch of events for it (see below). More info on book in alt text.

Libraries are among the few public institutions that represent the kind of world we want to live in. They must be fought for.

I'm always saying this

Picture of Omar reading from his poetry collection. Can’t remember which one to be honest. Probably The Lost Arabs.

New poem. I was thinking about Danez and Chen Chen, how they write so openly about and with and for their friends and I wanted to do the same, to open myself past the pain and to what else has come coursing through my daily living, which is love & love & love. sakr.substack.com/p/let-me-nev...

They're Coming for Our Daughters The conservative plan to shrink girls’ futures

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”

The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

I made a tutorial about the digital tools I use during my drawing process! Things like clipping masks, the lasso tool, adjustment layers, and more ~ www.patreon.com/posts/tutori...

I say this regularly. People use performative as a substitute for 'inauthentic' and we could all just say the words we mean to say. Erving Goffman helps us to understand that we perform all of the time in real life. Life itself is often a performance of self.

I needed a banner so I figured I might as well draw all of my favorite things ☁️🏠✨

Spring is almost here!

We cannot ask survivors to speak out about sexual violence while simultaneously punishing them for it. We cannot hold survivors responsible for their own justice while refusing to give it to them. We cannot expect survivors to come forward while making it impossible for them to do so.

Person: say, i am alive. Computer: I am alive. Person: oh my god.

All My Dead Cats and Other Losses: Practicing Good Grief in a Culture That Fears Mourning Practicing Good Grief in a Culture That Fears Mourning

My book on grief, mourning, and how both of these things are deeply broken in a society of runaway capitalism & positive thinking is coming out in six months. Here are some things you can do to help it find readers, starting with preordering. You can do that through your local indie or bookshop.org

"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

make comics, and by that I mean : make comics you're able to finish
don't start a 400 pages graphic novel as your first project, make shorter comics, see if you enjoy it, & then keep doing it
