Repost with your favorite Halloween costume.

My attempt at Mario. Briefly, I felt unashamed of my body and, maybe, like my life was mine again.

The feeling passed — but it eventually returned. And I look at this “costume” as an empowering moment.

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

If it isn’t a fascist government, then one should be safe in loudly calling it a fascist government.

No shade on Monorail, but I’m a big fan of “Baby on Board.”

Thiel's reading: “Nothing lasts forever.”

Actual line: “‘In the end’? Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends.”

@tadethompson.bsky.social “Literally THE OPPOSITE of what Dr Manhattan said. Also, Moore didn't see this as an ideal solution. Moore literally negates the plan in the last panel
…”

Half-serious question: How do we distinguish the Portland protest frogs from the Groyper Army ones?

Welcome to the Fall — and the fact you can’t tell if I’m talking about the season or society should tell you how bad things are.

Hello! What is the age limit for volunteers?

Book cover for Keywords/Keyimages in Graphic Medicine edited by Lisa Diedrich and Briana Martino. The image on the cover is from Ian Williams, & is a version of an image from his book The Bad Doctor, a graphic narrative based on his own experience with OCD. A boy is in bed with his hands folded in prayer & his thoughts take the form of a sefirot surrounding his head.

Look at this gorgeous cover for Keywords/Keyimages in Graphic Medicine!! Thanks to Ian Williams for giving us permission to use his image on the cover, which captures brilliantly the concept & structure of the book. Briana Martino (@briwok.bsky.social) & I are grateful & thrilled!

My Favorite Curseword For the end of my 47th episode, so to speak, I answer the Pivot questionnaire.

Any guesses?

Aw, a government shutdown for my birthday —
Guys, you REALLY shouldn’t have!

World(s) of Graphic Medicine There is a difference between universal, global, and uniform. Graphic Medicine offers a way to link our far-reaching world -- as a "guild."

I offered some thoughts this past July on the global reach and community that Graphic Medicine promises.

I’m happy to have my cartoons reposted, but it’s always nice when credit is given to the artist so people can find me

There’s a lot more where this came from

Hm! I think, in this case, that I am the former. So, I am happy to take a look at the resource you provided. Thank you!

This is going to kill people. And to be honest I think that’s part of the point.

That's sensational! Thank you for this resource. I will look into it ASAP.

I think I’m going to index my own book. Any advice, scholars? Any warnings or pitfalls?

Do any of the professors or journalists or teachers also get their jobs back or nah

When you think of stories, poems, plays, illustrations, and songs that address loneliness — and encourage (re)connection and community — what comes to mind?

Just in case you needed to hear it from one more place: Tylenol does not cause autism.

Do I have any friends and colleagues who know much about the financial side of #highered systems? That is, does anyone have experience with policy and numbers dealing with #tuition at one school covering classes at another? #college

Perhaps I am late to this or it’s obvious or it’s leftist, but…
The comics ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM, THE ULTIMATES & the ABSOLUTE DC series are all about rising up against despotic, tyrannical ruling forces. All the major superhero storylines are currently about #resistance #protest & #rebellion. Right?

Some thoughts on the GRAPHIC MEDICINE REVIEW journal's brief outage -- and a larger problem that could become widespread. publishing.escholarship.umassmed.edu/gmr/news/27/
