Washington Post Begins Sweeping Layoffs

NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning.

Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section.

"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

A tough one to sit with--but we must--is that some people's ability to make good art in part derived from, or was protected by, the fact that they were enabling or doing terrible things. See also: We Need to Talk about Cosby doc. Even more troubling on this score: Read deep reporting on Alice Munro

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

death by preventable disease is an inevitable and even desired outcome of concentration camps. in every era of concentration camps people have died of typhus, which is a disease of privation and enforced crowding. this illness is intentionally inflicted

Haven't painted in the last two weeks, so just banged out this 20 min sketch of a chicken piggy bank that's been sitting on my desk. I think canvas paper makes me less nervous to be bold (and work bigger). I am very happy with the looseness.

Okay, it took me three days to finally do this, BUT!

You can buy whistles from us now!

I stress again that getting the whistles free is the OBVIOUS OPTION but some folks want 1-5 Kit Rocha whistles instead of 100 whistles, or to support us. So. OK!

Liam Ramos’ classmates miss him, so they decided to write letters to the ICE agents who took him. “Dear ICE,” one student wrote, “You are scaring schools, people and the world.”
