For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

There is a lot of woe in the world, but here is one thing I'm excited about:

nashhigh.itch.io/zinearranger This zine layout tool is a dream I never knew I had. You can upload a pdf of your, e.g., 56-page 1/4-sized zine in page order (1-56), and in seconds get back a 14-page doc you can print from.

It all sounded very woo-woo to me. But the science backs it up: if you think you won't succeed, you never even try. Your brain is building a hallucination of your world all the time. If you REALLY want to focus on something you can control, the stories you tell about the world and experiences are it

Visual art is 80% learning to see. That means not only learning how to see, understand and evaluate the world around you, the human figure etc. But it also means learning to see, understand and evaluate your own work. Seeing is the hardest part to teach and the hardest part to learn.

I love LOVE when illustrators go "I'm making a comic!!" and 1 month later they post 3 pages with something like "I literally prefer torture, please no more"

Yes little baby you've seen the horrors, you thought I was the crazy elder of the clan but now you owe me respect, kneel and low your head

Didn't feel like I did a lot this year, but I got a quilt finished for the quilt show, made a supply organizer, hand beaded a three tier headpiece in size 15, and will probably finish this sweater over the next weekend, on top of finishing scripting 2 projects, school & thesis work, & moving.
