I write & illustrate The Art Snoots. And I’m writing a novel about grief and terror at an impossibly clean subway station.

Trying to stay connected and engaged, not distracted and enraged.

Trying.

Two days ago, this foster puppy was hiding under my car and shaking.

This morning, I woke up depressed about the state of my country.

He woke up and wiggled and jiggled and gave kisses and nibbles and essentially reminded me that I am the best thing since sliced bread!

Where does Rep. Mike and his wife Leigh Ann Collins go to church and what does their minister have to say about Jesus’s stranger in a strange land rhetoric?

For anyone arguing that this isn't the same salute. Here is a side-by-side view. It's not just that the arm is extended outward. It's the entire movement of bringing the right hand to then extending the arm straight with the palm facing downward.

This is intentional.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he practiced all day to try to find a movement that was Nazi salute-ish while being plausibly deniable as not that.

I worked in tech (B2B software product management) for thirteen years and I’m surprised it’s taken this long for the curtain to drop regarding the right-wing fuckery that is tech in this country.
50% of the dudes I worked with straight-up greedy pricks. Another 40% were oblivious or apologists.

Many Latino immigrants in Los Angeles worked to extinguish some of the fires with hoses. They aren't firefighters, they were just helping people in other neighborhoods.

Paper delicious
Writing tip: After you finish, go back & cut all the adverbs. Then all the adjectives. Then all the other words. Eat the paper. Now you're free.

In 1977, Vincent Price starred in a one-man-show where he played openly gay Oscar Wilde; it was condemned by Anita Bryant. When asked about her condemnation, Price replied that Wilde had already written a play about Anita: “A Woman of No Importance”

The conventional wisdom is that LA is full of rich people who can decamp to a different house to rebuild, and that’s just not the case. The heartbreak of losing historically Black Altadena cuts deep.
There are families who will never be able to come back from this devastation, and many of them were in generational homes, passed down from people who bought homes in the 1970sand 80's in Altadena. All of the fires are a tragedy, but especially for those who don't have the resources to rebuild.
Eaton Fire Devastates Historic Altadena, Displacing Black Families and Destroying Legacies
While celebrity losses grab headlines, the Eaton Fire has destroyed nearly 1,000 structures in Altadena, displacing Black families who’ve shaped the community for generations. Here's a brief history o...

What do you call a tweet on blue sky? Is it a bloot?

I wish I had the magic ability to make things fake by just writing them down and putting them in quote marks.
The LA Fires would become the “LA Fires”, a hypothetical situation. This would work for everything from Donald Trump (“Donald Trump”) to my dog’s stress pukes (“stress pukes”).

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

When you are waiting for a subway, do you say that you are waiting for the next train?

My dog just rushed the bathroom door to make sure I’m ok and I had to tell her that I was just shopping for shoes for a burlesque class while sitting in a lukewarm bath.
She rolled her eyes as if to say “None of that is your novel that you are allegedly writing.”

everything is pretty bad and it's going to get worse and I think we need to remember to give ourselves license to post about silly things too

losing our minds to despair isn't going to do any of us any good

I live near Tucson for half the year, and I must tell you, Tucson is full of warm, genuine people. Like Mario, at Lowe’s, who painted a flower on my paint can.

The husband of one of my closest friends is on Facebook crowing about how his side “won”, and I suddenly feel such dissonance and stabbiness.

This is like when zombies attack and they turn your friend and you say, “Oh no! They got you too?!?!?”
