I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*. on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

Some BETTER LETTERER for you. And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...

okay I've always wanted to go to Thought Bubble but now I like REALLY REALLY REALLY wish I going to Thought Bubble

Wore my most millennial outfit (forever 21 fish print skater dress and black tights with stompy boots) to see Garbage play the Palladium with @andykhouri.bsky.social after impulse buying a ticket at…4:30PM today. Shirley Manson, the woman you are!!!

Today is the birthday of artist Violet Barclay, later Valerie Barclay (Nov. 5, 1922-Feb. 26, 2010). She joined the staff of Timely comics in 1942 & left in 1949 to become a freelancer. She pencilled & inked for several companies, particularly on romance titles.

Reminder!! Bluesky has a pronoun labeler you should really use! Only those who subscribe to this will see it so you should do that. Don't worry, that's all it does. Instructions are in the bio/first post.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

does zohran’s transition team need a comic book editor who lives in Los Angeles

this is such a fantastic example of the transformative power of design when used collaboratively and intelligently. the visual design of this campaign is deep-rooted in history and culture and is thoughtful and beautiful

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

This is as big a deal as Mamdani actually? In forever fascist ass MS...??? Like....

icymi -- don't let fly by night think tanks and neolib pundits convince you that trans people are an afterthought or distraction outside of major cities

This person took this when they called the race

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

we did it babes.... we're the opposite of cooked. what is that. we're ingredients

ah yes, the classic “Palestinians manufacturing their own genocide to elect Zohran Mamdani mayor of New York City” gambit, of course

just wanted to re-post this messaging that helped win an election

PROP 50 WIN WE ARE OFFICIALLY LIBBING! THE FUCK! OUT!!!!!!!!!

A lot of Very Serious People will be pretending to be confused about What This All Means as a way to avoid the simple inconvenient reality: Voters like it when candidates are kind sincere non-weirdos who are passionate about big popular ideas that will actually help real people.

Bill Ackman gotta be on the third draft of a tweet longer than Middlemarch right now

Colorado is doubling down on our super popular program to tax the rich and pay for free school meals for every single public school kid. Universal programs have herd immunity. Tax the rich and use the money to give everyone else something popular.

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx. It was a little different last week.

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

I'll need a Prop 50 win for the Full Lib Out to commence, but boy howdy are we ramping THE FUCK up!!!

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

I just need to see that a better world is possible.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets. He'll make a great mayor

The live blog has that distinct smell of cope, I’m happy to report.

Who could have predicted that what voters wanted after all were candidates with even a modicum of a spine? This was truly unknowable before today.

Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

This to me is the game. I don’t care if Schumer doesn’t like Mamdani, but for him to stand silently by while sex pest Cuomo leans into gutter racism and Islamophobia while accepting endorsements from Trump, Musk and Miller is outrageous from the Senate Minority Leader.

I am untethering from reality dude

Even just that we’d realize something else is POSSIBLE, rather than buying their lie that only dogshit is Realistic Politics.

They aren't afraid of Mamdani, they are worried about what he would unleash among VOTERS. That those voters would say: "actually, we're not buying this centrist bullshit you've been shoveling for decades, we want something else." That's what's being litigated in these Dem elites are worried essays.

cannot stress enough how unbelievably aspirational I find the designation of "aloof wife" to be

New York is a-changin'.

They are destroying what SHE built. #TeenVogue

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name. The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

I keep repeating this to myself but it's only half working where Mamdani is concerned.

That Teen Vogue would nuke the team that has brought us uniquely clear eyed and incisive political journalism over the last decade aka THE PUBLICATION'S PRIMARY DIFFERENTIATOR in an oversaturated Bootlicking Slop Landscape is......................stomach turning, honestly.

I think if you do this you should expect to get your ass beat
