I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

A sneak peek at the cover of next week’s issue, which celebrates Zohran Mamdani’s historic win. #NewYorkerCovers https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/451hFM

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.

California police boost patrols at grocery stores as millions set to lose SNAP benefits

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Frog and Toad sat close by the fire. They were scared. The teacups shook in their hands. They were having the shivers. It was a good, warm feeling.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Sometimes to fight book bans you need to know what your officials are doing and sometimes they ah...don't want to tell you. Here's how to make a FOIA request in EVERY state docs.google.com/document/u/0...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Industry pros: unfortunately ReedPop has confirmed that not only are they not doing press tickets for #BookCon2026 but they also will not be doing any industry or pro tickets at this moment. In case y’all were hoping, like me, that they would do so like they do for NYCC.

TOKYO NIGHT PARADE is half off at That Online Retailer but this book is my whole heart 🧡

Guess it’s time for your periodic reminder that mentally ill people are actually statistically less likely to commit violent crimes; more likely to be victims; and more at risk of hurting themselves than others. If you want to curb gun crimes curb guns. Threading some studies here!

“can your client illustrate and design this for $0? we have a lot of followers” i will bite you in half

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

nobody cares if the rich leave New York. The empanada guy is who really matters

"The National Literacy Trust’s research also found that: Children and young people who read comics were more engaged with reading, regardless of their age; More of those who read comics told us that they read something daily in their free time compared with their peers who did not (35.7% vs. 22.8%)"

My most important reader. Taeko, my (soon-to-be) 94-year-old grandma holding the book I dedicated to her. She’s been a big supporter of my artistic journey so I’m glad I got to bring a smile to her face with this.

🦇 The audio adaptation of the "Dark Victory" arc begins this week on DC High Volume: Batman! 🥳 I'm immensely proud to have co-written this audio adaptation together with @roshansinghsambhi.bsky.social & @finalrune.com! Just from reading their drafts, I've learned so much from them about... 1/2

btw bipolar and schizophrenia are also far more susceptible to covid. schizophrenia in particular is second only to age when it comes to risk of death, with a 3x greater likelihood of dying from covid. get your shots, folks!

I’m a literary agent, so for #PortfolioDay, all I gotta say is: 1) we love comics in this house, and 2) I’m lurking in the tag and can’t keep up with how many posts I’ve saved; it’s an embarrassment of riches out here, let me breathe (keep it going, asphyxiate me actually 😌)

"No one knows what will come to replace the international system that is currently collapsing around us, but any political system that prioritizes punishing those who protest genocide rather than stopping the killing has clearly exhausted itself." www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

i love my clients! and their comics! and @jerrycraft.bsky.social & @dansantat.bsky.social! thank you!

this is what mania is to me. it puts me at risk every time it happens (and others, tangentially, because I disregard traffic laws super bad and trespass and shit lmao). it is not just euphoria or elation, if it's even that to begin with (it isn't always)
