I've had a wave of new follows lately, so hi everybody! I'm Nicky and I write a webcomic called Weird Luck.

I'm also an aikido teacher and a psychology professor, and I once wrote a controversial essay collection called Neuroqueer Heresies, but 95% of my posts are about the comic.

We are on a regular schedule again next Friday, and this also begins a month of free classes for new students. If you have friends and family that want to come practice, it's a great time. We'll keep it light and focus on the fundamentals.

A skill I would really like us all to cultivate is saying "I don't think this is a great tactic, but I agree with the cause," and then just moving on with our lives.
