every time i see some new attempt to Streamline and Optimize our Lives i think about this kurt vonnegut quote that does rounds. we're dancing animals! not everything needs to be optimized! sometimes a tedious task creates an unlikely opportunity to learn something about yourself! or for joy!!

The irony of the eccentric artist stereotype is that writers/artists often need domestic structure/serenity *more* than the average person. Traditionally, artists were mostly men+ expected their wives to provide that structure. What happens if you don't have a wife? What happens if you *are* a wife?

IN YOUR SKIN is a body horror comic based in Bollywood, emerging from my love-hate relationship with Hindi movies. This is a story I’ve wanted to tell for ages, and I’m excited to do it with an artist whose work I’ve admired for a very long time.

Blocking the construction of ICE detention centers is much easier than closing them once they're built! If you're in this county, follow the OP for some ways to support; if you're not, keep an ear out for proposed detention facilities in your zone
In a positive development, I’m hearing that Hanover County Board of Supervisors are planning to vote NO on the I.C.E. request to build or lease a detention facility in the county near Bass Pro. And, that they are consulting with the county attorney on legal options for fighting it!
