And just because, I bought a handful of these. Still not sure how one might drop chocolate into another person’s open jar of peanut butter (nor why they would then eat from the other’s food…) but can’t argue with how well the two go together :)
There are no positive things about these betting sites… it’s criminals all the way down
Such a strong preference for flipped, how I read lone wolf and cub and walking man, I struggle with the non flipped

Impeach and remove this lawless man, you fools.

Booo! Such a huge loss of such an important institution.
Yes!! Double down on what makes us us and stand up to this nonsense!
So disheartening. We should be doubling down on what makes us a place to be - protect trans kids, immigrants, support next generation of activists, and such - instead we are nickel and diming ourselves to death and millions to ai
Oh, we’ve been under massive cuts for past two years. The department I’m in is going away and department I thought I was going to also is going away. Spent the last month or so deliberating where to take myself/comics program. & I’m a fortunate one, I got to choose & people want me to do what I do…
Ugh, awful. Was just messaging ben Katchor there about things there, such a shame. (As I’m watching nearly the same at my uni)
This should be the biggest weather and climate news on your radar today.

Way back, I wrote about staying up all night to view Rosa Parks lying in state at the CHWright Museum, her body on view in front of Charles's wall sculpture of snaking ribbons, solid circles, & jagged lines – a fitting celebration of life. Our archive is currently not online, but here's the text
What a perfect response! Thank you. Good thoughts your way
How is this a real person?!
I enjoyed my conversation with Viviane Callier, an edited version of which is now in @nautil.us. Why we're "grass apes", the role of beauty in education, and the creativity of flowers...

My dear departed friend Charles McGee’s work welcomes visitors outside the Charles H Wright Museum in Detroit and also hangs on its walls…
Great article on this gem of a museum by @phillewis.bsky.social
Wonderful story! And yes, students make registration errors, lettering size - all of it. But we make finished work to teach us how to make the next one…
Exactly! What I have my students do. Lots of short pieces. First larger project is a mini-comic, they have something to show for it!
It's that time in my Making comics intro course when I talk image-text relations, which gives me an excuse to share 2 favorite comics that do bewildering things that can only be done in comics! Ibn Al-Rabin's seminal Le Verbe Prophétique alongside the always brilliant @tomgauld.bsky.social. So good!
Oh yes - that’s fabulous!
my boy plays basketball at JCC here in SF - when we enter (parking our bike by the massive bollards out front) we walk through an electronic screening thing, and the few times we've had to take the car there, our trunk is searched before entering. Goes w/o saying, shouldn't be this way for anyone...

Every time Altman opens his mouth he makes the case to burn this all to the ground increasingly clear…

Let's kill "comics are a gateway to reading" dead please?
Ha!
What you said, Gail. And they know and do care about even the small things…
This was a 5 year old tern gsd, I reckon its battery is waning a bit and with not so small kiddos and steep hills, used more of the motor than I might otherwise. We also have a tern hsd, my normal ride to work and with one kiddo. Since we got both, car trips have dwindled to close to zero.
They’re the best!
