Friends, Tuesday is Election Day in NYC, and it's time to VOTE FOR @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! Here's a thread of why I'm voting for him, along with photos I've taken over the past few months.
FIRST, the dude cares. He loves this city and he loves us. And care > punishment, baby.

I already heard about the VIZ issue.
Dick move, VIZ. I really wanted the manga too, but don't disrespect your fans like that. Everything's toxic enough as it is.

And with that, NYCC is done, and I get to rest from conventions for at least eight months.
This was another great year spent with friends and colleagues and meeting industry pros. If I didn't see you, I'm so sorry.
Looking forward to next year. I'm not looking forward to laundry tomorrow.
