This last week is a real demonstration of how capacious, yet flattened the word "violent" is in our political discourse. Political assassinations are obviously, clearly violent. But the same word has been used all week to describe protestors damaging objects--not people, objects.

I feel compelled to remind everyone that our local transit service has anime mascots and continues to table at local anime events. It's very good.
Scenes from @fanimecon.bsky.social Day ✌️The line was out the door to visit the BART table!
And check out the BART cosplay 😍😍😍
We're back tomorrow with special guests @caltrain.com (10am to 2pm) and some of the participants of the BART Autism Transit Project!

In the opening of my book out next year with Ecco, I cite stats on how common disability is (6 in 10 US adults have a chronic condition, 26% of US adults have a disability) and use its ubiquity as a place to start talking about ableism and what it means to be human, and how we need care.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

When I’m very pissed off I like to calm myself down by drawing horror art of Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak. It’s therapeutic AND free.
Here is the product of my anger management so far (1/3)
