I started working some ideas for a new book that I want to do on my old reform school.
I came across this promotional (?) video about the experimental school that existed right before the one I went to opened up.

i was hitchhiking thru Vermont and stuck on a big curve on a small highway. it was the middle of nowhere’s middle of nowhere.
a bus driver pulled over and picked me up for free. he told he’d been stuck in the same spot hitchhiking thirty years ago and didn’t get picked up for three days.

this is always framed like the family you don’t want to deal with anymore isn’t make a choice to alienate you.
Yeah, no thanks.
Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

i always think about my own criminalization as a child/young person and the sheer scale of the “troubled teen” industry. it’s insanity.
America is a culture of child abuse. Ask any survivor - we find one another, we form networks and communities.
The true scale of it would stagger and sicken you, and so it is buried, it is swept under the rug, it is denied and the survivors are silenced by whatever means are necessary.

It’s been a wild 30 days. The last few weeks I traveled from Baltimore, Burlington, Eugene, Boston, and LA to talk about Black Arms to Hold you Up.
It’s only possible because of all the support from the comics community. I don’t have space to thank everyone, but hopefully you know who you are.

if anyone brings up Gait Analysis to you at all outside of saying "isn't this some bullshit?" cut all ties with them immediately and change your phone number. this advice would have saved The Blaze a lot of heartache too.
