feeling compelled to post this new yorker reject from years ago, for some reason

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

New from me, at @vqr.bsky.social: a few years ago two people contacted me about a TEDx talk I once gave, “The Art of Haunting.”

When I replied I’d never given a TEDx talk, things just got weirder.

On AI, ghosts, what it means to tell a story, and what Italo Calvino saw coming 60 years ago. Enjoy!

today I had pesto pasta for lunch and Thai noodles for dinner. So many noods, so little time

In my utopian vision of the future, instead of offloading all the pointless, annoying work tasks (like reports that none one will read and needlessly opaque forms) to robots, we restructure work and society so that the pointless tasks don't happen at all.

Companies above a certain size should be part owned by the employees, who can vote on key decisions on the direction of operations.

The EU does not print gender on driving licenses.

Boss, it's the fascism.

(Literal note in my journal today: "I’m struggling with short-term memory (which happens when I’m stressed) and that’s part of why I’m keeping the journal.")

More and more
research keeps emerging
that worryingly documents
“How COVID
Quietly
Rewires the Brain,”
but should you try
to warn others
about these findings
you will be told
to just be quiet.

Two mini zines about taking care of yourself in the hospital, hugged together by a paper rabbit greeting card

A friend of mine is having a major surgery in a couple weeks. ❤️‍🩹 So I sent him a couple of zines I have handy...

The way society treats disability is a very ugly reflection of our values and attitudes toward each other.

Most people’s only concept of disability is loss of physical mobility, sight, or hearing. Anything else is met with a disdainful “that’s their problem” attitude. It’s disgusting.

I mean, John Oliver nods like a bird, so...maybe they are communicating in a way we can't understand!

It’s so nice that the way a person makes a shape or puts a line down on a page can still delight me so much

HOLY COW

The Humble Bundle has been extended for another week because they were so pleased with our success so far.

I will not get over, "Lo! A destructed ass."

I am fucking dead.
Gideon the Ninth is so fucking good.

A Delicious in Dungeon comic page. Marcille: What? That's all? Chilchuk: Dont you know anything else? Laios: Huh!? Chilchuk: Everything you went over was stuff I already knew. Marcille: I sense a real lack of passion here. Do you really even like dragons? Laios: Err, well... um... Laios: You see, we consider dragons to be special when compared to other monsters. Marcille: Who's this "we"? Laios: In our world, if you can't identify a dragon's sex, age, and habitat just by hearing its tonguing noises... nobody will take you seriously! Laios: There are tons of people researching dragons, and new theories are proposed and refined every year. Apparently, the volume of information on dragons is comparable to our knowledge on walking mushrooms.. Marcille: Wait a second! Why do we have that much info on walking mushrooms!? Laios: I've always wanted to be a dragon lover, too! But when I look at the true dragon lovers... My own lack of knowledge disgusts me...!! Laios: There was a point in time when even seeing the word "dragon" was painful... Laios: But when we fought the real thing back there, I could feel my heart pounding away in my chest. The emotions I experienced felt so real... Laios (thinking): So I think... I really do love dragons! Marcille: We shouldn't have asked him.

Y'know I was a big dino kid growing up, and still absolutely love dinosaurs but I get so anxious drawing them due to "accuracy". I love them but not as much as folks who REALLY love them.

I feel like Laios in Delicious in Dungeon about dragons

Had such a fun time today at Pride in Panels at SF Public Library. I knew I'd see so many people I know, but then I ran into even more friends! And met new people I hope can one day become friends!

I love queer comics so much 🌈

If you walk into a man’s apartment and you don’t see ANY books, pick up your pussy and LEAVE!!! Go back outside!!!

When my worst sexual experience became my funniest comic...
