Local assisted living facilities are taking additional security measures because the residents don’t want their care to be interrupted when ICE abducts their staff. Schools are closed for the safety of students, faculty, and staff. There is no facet of society or stage of life unaffected.
Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

COME GET YOUR FLOWERS, CHICAGO PUNK SCENE. History might keep ignoring you for the coasts and D.C. but an island kid born two decades too late is gonna fall in love with you and be given the greatest gift from one of your own!!
Man, since this looks like it's gonna continue to break containment, I'm just gonna come out and say it so dude can get his deserved flowers (spoilers for my own comic readers be damned) -- this was Vic Bondi of Chicago's Articles of Faith!!

I am full of regret that I didn't anticipate this post breaking containment and making it overtly clear here that the project in question is a queer, gay romance comic and I introduced myself in the email as a transmasc dude, and that THIS was the emailed response from them with that as the context
I've reached out to two 80's hardcore punk bands for lyrics licensing requests through their labels, telling them about #KeepingTime and my budget. Both times, the guys came back with, "nah go ahead, use it for free."

Punk's not dead. In fact, they're still out there, being radically kind.

I think about this all the time.

Romanticizing male anger, white man-Asian (wo)man romance, choosing family who've harmed you over your own queerness (because the issue is REALLY about choosing your diasporic culturally-inherited morals over individualism), girl dies to further the narrative...
if your current project became the Next Big Thing, what would the discourse about it be like?

also, if you're like! a sleuth! you could probably figure out what band this is based on things I've said/replied to pals about. this band's already been referenced pretty prominently in the comic, AND IT WAS relatively recently (I mean more than just a parody logo/poster appearance)...

1. If you ever feel the urge to trash your own work when complemented, repress that urge. In that context your self-deprecation is insulting someone else's taste!

Instead, just say thanks & change the subject. Maybe credit an influence?

Every artist wishes they could go back in time to deliver a swat to the back of their own head and say, “Don't do that!”

None of this is universal, but here is a protips thread of some things I (and many of my peers) would try to stop ourselves from doing.

if you're wondering where I am in learning about baseball is I know what a four-seamer is and I am building out @markwwc.bsky.social vibe-based hierarchy of MLB teams based on things he says to me, like, "I hate (REDACTED TEAM) more than (TEAM 2) but less than (TEAM 3)"
Mark let me know there's a dude in the MLB who shares my last name and so I have no choice but to stan

One of the things I love working with oil pencils and a toothy paper instead of ink on bristol are the textures I can get that you can't get with ink even using dry brush: like that special swirling texture of dark brown tightly curled textured hair.

Updating the list of things Daniel has in common with his father to include "attracted to blondes with labrador retriever energy" only his dad's doing it as a midlife crisis and Daniel's doing it as a gay guy crushing on his straight friend

Was looking through my old gallery on my iPad and found this thing I drew for Asexual Awareness Week in…2019?2020? Somewhere around that time.

I can neither confirm nor deny that this is what I mean when I say I’m asexual.

Now more than ever is a time to join the ongoing fight that La Resistencia has been leading since 2014, because we know that no one is safe from ICE, they have come after us, now they are coming after you, and we need you more than ever to fight against detention and deportation of our communities.

oldhead advice from an oldhead.

every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"

and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work

gotta build for long term
