The theme for IDAHOBIT this year is "The Power of Communities", I've seen people coming together in spite of the rise in discrimination and it gives me hope despite it all.

Illustration by Chilean queer artist Sofía Miranda Van den Bosch
At the heart of the image is a large, nurturing tree — a powerful symbol of collective care, rootedness, and growth. Around the tree, people are shown supporting one another, creating, sharing knowledge, and taking action.

So interesting to hear Jen talk about the importance of softening and making the toolkit more visually approachable.

quick trip to Naarm for Green Day! very easily my favourite band and this is the third time i've seen them play live.

being able to hear my favourite albums, Dookie (1994) and American Idiot (2004) in their entireties was pretty mind blowing.
a photograph of Billie Joe Armstrong playing an acoustic guitar. He is a white man with bleached blonde hair, wearing a black button up shirt with a red collar. a photograph of a stage with a full mosh pit. on screen, to the right of the photograph, Mike Dirnt is singing into a microphone. The video still is in black and white, Mike is a white man with short bleached hair and is wearing a cut off black vest. A photograph of a concert stage with screens on either side. Both screens show Billie Joe Armstrong playing an electric guitar. Billie Joe is a white man with bleached hair, wearing a black button up shirt with a red collar.

bringing back KC Green's very appropriate comic strip. yay 2025
the first panel has an illustration of a brown dog wearing a fedora sitting on a chair in a room on fire filled with smoke with a coffee cup in front of them on a table. in the second panel, the illustration is cropped closer to show the upper torso of the brown dog and the coffee cup. in a white speech bubble above the dog's open mouth, the dog says "this is fine." written in handwritten font. the room is still on fire.
