a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:

Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.

So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Duncan, a political newcomer and former prisoner, defeated incumbent Darren Lombard by a wide margin in Saturday's runoff.

It was a victim of its own success in a lot of ways.

I was doing economic justice work pre-Occupy and the before/after was light and day.

The previously-fringe discussion or wealth inequality became SO mainstream SO fast that folks kind of forgot it was new information to most in 2011.
I've listened to several podcasts and read several articles on why people are souring on capitalism and they all don't mention Occupy which is weird to me because of nothing else they mainstreamed a lot of the language we use today. And it was a genuinely big deal at the time.

Bex is good people. Please help if you can 💜
hey #UglyDogs, I could use your help. I lost my job in January this year, and 2025 killed the job market. I ran out of UI & there's a pretty steep gap between what we have and our ability to pay the mortgage. any help is appreciated until I can get a job.

Shirts in the wild! 🥳🙌

I’ve been working on a new shirt printing setup, and if I’m not very much mistaken, I should be back to printing shirts this weekend!

The America Arts are FUCKED right now. AI propagation, constant layoffs, hiring freezes, projects not being greenlit, conservative censorship, massive tariff hikes, mega-mergers, foreign buyouts, studios relocating overseas and lack of public funding is killing us.

Please support small creators.
The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...
L.A.’s Entertainment Economy Is Looking Like a Disaster Movie
Work is evaporating, businesses are closing, longtime residents are leaving, and Los Angeles’s creative middle class is hanging on by a thread.

Ok, it’s Saturday here, so you know what that means! For the rest of the weekend my DMs are open to new comics creators looking for advice or feedback on writing, art, or the industry at large!

If that isn’t you, please share anyway, you never know who might have a question!

Been a hot minute since I set up a new #WatercolorPalette, but I acquired more blues & greens & had run out of room in the old ones.

Curious: If you’re a #watercolor person, what colors would you change from this, and why?

(I even left three spots open for future impulse purchases! 😁)

It’s true! I’m seeing a definite downturn in sales at my in-person events this year, compared to last. 🙃

But sharing posts online really does help, especially with online sales!
It's a tough time to be an artist or creative, and it's especially tough if you're doing that on a freelance or independent basis.

Sharing someone's posts, leaving a positive review, or recommending them to a friend are 3 easy ways you can help. And they're all free!!

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

Reminder that you can always start wearing a mask again, at any time, for any reason.

One of my favorite reasons is, "public restrooms are gross".
You took a (long) break from wearing a mask, right? You got away with it. But, guess what? There's a *lot* more Covid around again. And, access to vax is up in the air.

Just put a (good) mask on again when you're out and about and you'll be much more protected as well as protecting others. ✨✨✨
COVID cases are up throughout the country. I talked to doctors about where cases are highest right now and what folks should do to stay healthy: www.huffpost.com/entry/covid-...
