My drawn statement on Ai as standalone from my now finished minicomic as syllabus for new liberal studies class! As promised this is shareable, printable - all from my site, feel free to make use of it, cite me & let me know how it’s received. Share away all here! spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-sy...
a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

I feel so lucky to work with In These Times magzine, which has given me such freedom and inspiration in doing their covers. This latest one is based on Diego Rivera’s 1931 fresco “The Uprising,” depicting Mexican workers standing up to soldiers during a demonstration.

This was an absolutely great book! An amazing story, Guy Delisle dug deeply into the challenges, triumphs & horrific moments of Muybridge’s life, I learned a ton, was captivated for all of it. My dad got it first recommended - I hadn’t heard of it. Def recommend! From @dandq.bsky.social great stuff!

This is a wild thread.

And I'm genuinely flabbergasted. Why would someone do this?

There is no longer any doubt that Israel has set up a fake humanitarian organisation so it can kettle Gazans into a kill box and murder them en masse

It is evil beyond description and in a decent world it would result in immediate, massive, global action to stop them and prosecute those responsible
Dozens of Palestinians killed in latest Israeli attacks near food aid distribution site, medics and witnesses say
Witnesses describe people shot in head and torso near sites run by Israeli-backed US organisation Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
