People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.
A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Publishing looks glossy from the outside. Inside? It’s built on unpaid labour.
My first book is out this year.
Here’s what I actually got paid, what my contract says, & why most authors can’t afford to do this twice.

Published Doesn’t Mean Paid.
I want to talk about money.
(Ugh, I know. How crass.)
Specifically, how much money authors make, or more accurately, don’t.

New piece with Mission Local! In my humble opinion it's a cool looking one
San Francisco has eight "alternative courts"—places where people can go outside of traditional criminal prosecution.
By completing a program, which can take months or years, participants avoid jail time & often turn their lives around.
One of them is drug court...

It's a new term, a new Board of Supervisors, & all 11 have got plans & goals for the coming years.
Most San Franciscans don't know much about their local electeds—so we put pencil to paper, illustrating a bit about their backgrounds & promises.
First up: Connie Chan.

Weaponized turds: San Francisco’s strange and terrible victory over the EPA
A dispute over floating turds has led to liberal San Francisco enabling Trump's Supreme Court to hamstring the EPA. How did this come to pass?

Mayor Daniel Lurie has made downtown recovery a top priority, but a key part of that is missing: Maintaining fully-serviced public transit.
With a $15M budget shortfall, Lurie's team appears resigned to Muni service cuts this summer.

I recently landed back in California to start my comics journalism internship. Very excited! Very turbulent time in news to start reporting, but is it not always? This short comic I made a while ago about how media algorithms can tunnel into negativity feels as relevant as now as ever.
