Caring for a baby is incredibly challenging under the best of circumstances. I cannot imagine the strain of doing it in the midst of genocide, with a toddler to boot. Please give what you can to help my friend Sama'a.

The Border Patrol Is the Problem. It Always Has Been
The violence, racial profiling and disregard for the Constitution that have burst into public view in Minneapolis are not new or unusual for the Border Patrol ..

Shocking but not really surprising. Horrific from way back.

It's not just the women and girls we know of. It's all their future work, and everything they could have been, and how we build structures that shelter their abusers. It's how a man's future has always been worth more than my past, present, and future combined.

I mean, we all know why.
It's still a part of every conversation and every discussion of systemic sexism. But this keeps happening, in every industry, in every setting, and we keep siding with the men. "Oh she was too pretty, she was a temptation." "Oh she made him do it." "Oh she was at fault."

"We would have lost so much if we'd driven him away" is the justification.
But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?

My friend lives in this building and said it was truly terrifying. The whole building woke up to their building being broken into by federal agents all to grab some guy who’s posted about being anti facist.
After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered.
18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.

Buy a custom, book a sesh, send a tip just because I deserve it.

YES! For one thing, by insisting that only GOOD people can make GREAT art, it means you are also saying GREAT art always comes from admirable people. It protects slimy creators.
"Well, I LOVE this graphic novel and it's brilliant and so we know evil people could never make anything so beautiful!"

one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.
