Haha discovered in comments that I've already read their work on Superman vs. the Klan—which I had been just thinking of as one of @geneluenyang.bsky.social's projects! 😂

Thanks for the recs, Y'all. Sounds like they're all winners but It's Jeff! is a special little book.

Hey, Girihiru fans: Where should I start? Which of their books is a good jumping off point?

Marvel Girls looks adorable... Would that be a good one for me (and Daughter #2)?

For me, that ALIEN adaptation by Walt (and the deeply-missed Archie Goodwin) was a masterclass in how comics worked, published when I was still in college, 14 years before my own book about comics came out.

Needless to say, I look nothing like *either* of those two original panels these days... 33 years is a long time! 🤷‍♂️

Kristi Noem Didn’t Give a Sh*t About ‘the Details’ Such as a woman who was here legally and helped the homeless—but was then deported anyway.

NEW: Here's the story of a woman deported by Kristi Noem. Legally in the United States (as a DACA recipient), she is the mother of a U.S. citizen and was working to help the homeless—but when she went for an appointment to get a green card, she was deported.

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote:

"The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk 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."

Once again.
