I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather.
“No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!”
“No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture (NYPL) allowed this Quran from Ottoman Syria to be loaned out for Mayor Mamdani’s (!) swearing in. Come to Harlem and visit the Center to learn about the rich history our Mayor is walking in
The incoming mayor will use two family Qurans and a historic edition that symbolises New York City history.

I learned how to organize and prioritze the multitude of projects I had built for myself. Imposing some amount of order doesn’t need to be the smothering of creativity I was afraid it’d be

Out of the New Year, I want to prioritize:
1. Promoting my mini-comic I did with Tony Chao, “Capital Impact” ☄️
2. Finish and publish the “Wet Bitch” trilogy (Hells Shells was part one for all you Dark Matter fans) 💀
3. Pitching my first graphic novel 👀
