I've made a bunch of graphic novels. Most recent: CAROUSEL SUMMER (kids) and I HATED YOU IN HIGH SCHOOL (adults).
I teach comics & illustration around Vancouver. I spend my spare time sewing.

i think humans are, for the most part, inherently pretty good. we've been inundated in a world that teaches us to hurt others (and it hurts ourselves to do so as well) out of fear and repression, but it's not natural. if it was the few who AREN'T good wouldn't work so hard to keep it that way
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

wearing a mask in, at the very least, public indoor spaces (grocery stores, pharmacies, transit, healthcare) is one of the most basic forms of allyship you can offer disabled people you’re forced share space with.

Look at this map and tell me we can just Keep Logging
For the first time in BC's history, it also provides data on the remaining unlogged primary forests and those that have been degraded.
This is key info B.C. has yet to disclose, say report authors Karen Price and Dave Daust.

Got a preview of the thinking behind the COV budget via the mayor's former bagel joint on the corner. Opened strong & seemingly credibly, then relentlessly hiked prices & cut corners, its revolving door of staff looking more & more miserable, til only tourists who didn't know any better ate there.

Listening to Vancouver Council budget discussion in the background this morning. In response to a question from @seanorr.bsky.social about where they'll be retracting from the city just said they're planning to REMOVE baby changing tables and menstrual product dispensers to save costs. Shameful.
