Portland: according to a post on the local Reddit, Noem's visit to the ICE building is being purposefully extended until after dark, presumably to catch some "violent antifa" propaganda. Hold off for tonight, watch out for your neighbors' safety.

Putting this here in the hopes it gets more visibility.

FYI for anybody to pass along to people protesting. My company has buildings in the area and were notified that they are holding the motorcade through tonight, meaning they are using her visit at this location as a way to try to provoke protesters into an altercation which they can use justify their response. PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN. Even better would be to just not protest tonight and give them nothing to use to push their narrative.

Posted a fun Helioscope video of @jeffparker.bsky.social talking with @stevelieberart.bsky.social & @colleencoover.bsky.social about a page he drew for an Image imprint 25 years ago. I love these little glimpses into how folks do the work.

PS: A lot of insurance companies are choosing to say "fuck that" to BobbyK2, and are continuing to cover flu and Covid shots for zero copay. Because they like to hold on to our money, and free vaccines are cheaper than hospital stays.

Thanks to Kaiser Permanente, I got my annual Flu and Covid vaccinations today ( I didn’t need a bandaid so here’s my bare shoulder)

One of the nice things about my new home is that my four-mile bike ride to work is invariably chock-a-block with people walking their good dogs and cute babies.

I am also currently working on another very short comics piece that I am absolutely forbidden from sharing.

(But I looooooove it)

A couple of snippets from a short story I recently finished: details from a pencil rough & from a finished panel. The story is going to be published in a series that is yet to be announced, but sometimes you just want to let people know that work is happening!

Now is this time of year when every working artist needs a second screen solely dedicated to the livestream of bears catching salmon at Books Falls in Alaska.

For the uninitiated, this is like expecting to be able to back a big rig into a loading bay when you've only ever driven a Honda Fit.

My friend @terridrawsstuff.bsky.social gave me her old Singer sewing machine and I can barely read a pattern but of course I have big plans to dive into bra construction.

One thing that I try to remember, as a creator, is that, as Voltaire put it, "perfection is the enemy of good," and that perfection is also the enemy of Bargoth the Unmaker, the devourer of ten thousand suns, whose baleful eyes watch us all.

I wrote my city's waste disposal resource page to ask how to safely dispose of an old smoke detector with a sealed lithium battery in my neighborhood, and they replied with the name of a business right around the corner from me that recycles batteries for $.49/pound. THIS IS WHY GOVERNMENT MATTERS.

Listen to Hop, y'all. Anyone with paper and something to write or draw with can self-publish a physical book.

You'll probably have to blow it up or look at this on a big screen, but here is how anyone can make a little 8 page zine that they can use to write a story, write about their favorite things, a personal experience or make a mini comic. Fold some paper and get your thoughts out there!!

Ooo that's a hot tip! I haven't seen the show but I've adored the stories from the library.

Hey, nothing personal, I don't know you, but if you post memes created with A.I.--even if I 100% agree with your point of view!--I will block you forever.
