I support taxing the rich and getting your money back
I support a shared wealth tax between blue states to guarantee m4a within our borders
I support a ubi and universal guaranteed basic needs.
I leg press 500lbs & I sing opera
I've baled hay & bagged bread
I'm ready

saw another 'help me get into canada' fundraiser from a queer person cross my tl so I feel the need to urgently reiterate:
DO NOT TRY TO COME HERE
YOU WILL NOT GET IN
I have seen at least one recent case where someone with everything in order got bounced at the border without good reason

First found Galligan thru BSC graphic novels. Now the whole family gets excited when a new on of their books comes out 😁
Crunchy timelines burn people out. Low page rates and advances burn people out. Give a cartoonist a living salary and the time to work, and you are investing in a long-term CAREER. Books get passed around. Audiences grow over TIME. Books don't have to be first-day bestsellers to be successful.

Leave the Leaves!
One of the most valuable ways to support pollinators and other invertebrates is to provide them with the shelter they need to survive the winter. Thankfully, all you need to do is do less yard work.
