Hellgate is a great (worker owned!) local news source totally worth the subscription, but if you need convincing, the $20 dinner map is worth the price of admission alone!
A new $20 Dinner from @scoboco.bsky.social is coming your way later today. In the meantime, here’s the ad for the $20 Dinner series that aired on our election livestream last week! And check out our constantly-updated map here: hellgatenyc.com/20-dinner-map/

Another drawing of the gal who's either too hot or too cold, I can't tell. Think I've got drawing oversized jackets down now, and I'd been struggling yesterday with a low angle shot so I used refs to help me.

This blows my mind every time I run across it. We understood perfectly well how to teach people to read, it worked effectively for decades, and then we just decided ... not to do that any more. I think the best analogue is the history of treating scurvy.

If you want Fetterman out, the best bang for your voting buck is to stay Dem.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.
