After not painting for years, I developed artist’s block. The overwhelming anxiety every time I picked up a brush was a rough. Recently, tho, I decided to noodle around with nothing particular in mind to see what happened. It was freeing and also the most fun I’d had painting in, like, forever.

Airport update: I wasn’t paying attention when the TSA guy asked “Any beverages?” and I said “Thanks I’m good.”

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.
On a recent podcast Gavin Newsom tells Shawn Ryan how the Trans sports issue opened the door for him to change his mind on GAC for Trans Youth.
As someone who adored him since 2004 and voted for him 5 times, I can't wait for him to leave office.
There is no way I will be voting for him a 6th time.

I got to talk to the hilarious Jason Mantzoukas about his chaotic turn this season on Taskmaster, and what it was like being on the inside of one of his favorite shows. Here's part one of our chat (part two coming next week):

I’ve been thinking a lot about culture, intention, and communication lately. It’s what I do for work, and it’s also what I love, but I have not engaged in any of these things online for years now. At least, not in any meaningful way. This call to arms from @leahreich.com hit hard, in the best way.
I hit my limit so I wrote a call to arms. It's called We Are The Internet.
I hope you will read it and share it. Thanks.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Not to be unkind, but I am so impatient about the “what’s the point of making my little zines/comics/crafts/art when the world is on fire” sentiments. I get it, but saving the world is not a responsibility shouldered by your art! That’s what being a neighbor, a friend, and hell, a citizen is for!!!

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes
