Great piece from @harshawalia.bsky.social that is not only about how NOT to abolish ICE, but also what it would take to really abolish it. Highly recommended. 1/

In every relationship there’s a boyfriend who doesn’t believe in overhead lighting and a boyfriend drawing by the light of a neck flashlight.

ok apparently it is PUB DAY for my book THE DINNER PARTY so a bit from the train about how this book came to be

If I taught comics classes outside of an institution: 1) would you pay to take them (sliding scale, some free spots) 2) would you want them to be in person or online 3) would you want them to be one-off workshops or ongoing

Clocking back in for deadline comics crunch. Any podcast recommendations? (Will post close ups of pencils and sketches on Patreon today!)

“What happens when U.S. capitalism simply needs fewer humans?” @sarahljaffe.bsky.social on automated taxis, AI, ICE raids, data centers and the rebellions taking shape against a system that treats workers, migrants and whole communities as disposable.

How is every public conversation like “if we cut down one more old growth tree the whole planet will collapse, on the other hand we do need that tree for toilet paper which I think we can all agree takes precedence.”

THIS WEEK in THE DINNER PARTY TOUR ‼️ FINAL WEEK‼️ I will be in BALTIMORE DC & BOSTON at @greedyreads.bsky.social, Lost City Books & @allshewrotebks.bsky.social with @lyrafromthedesert.bsky.social @submorstua.bsky.social and @anderlawlor.bsky.social discussing LOVE and drinking WINE come say hi

Really funny that I have used this precise exercise (with different source material) to show my students what NOT to do when making comics. This made me… actually very upset.

Real talk what do you do when you can barely keep up with the amount of work you have but you are not making enough money and the only way to make more money seems to be to do more work.

If I, a freelance cartoonist with freelance cartoonist money, were going to hire someone to help me make my website more functional (it’s a square space and that’s fine but it’s not so good) who should that be?

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

We are also releasing a new research primer, "Myths about Generative AI, Productivity, and Labor Displacement", which discusses five common myths around generative AI at work. This primer will be the first of many. labor.dair-institute.org/primers

I am starting to book campus visits, talks and workshops for Fall 2026/Spring 2027; if you’re interested in having me come talk about Heavyweight or my other comics projects, want hands-on workshops on comics making, nonfiction comics research, zine making etc. please reach out!

Really looking forward to finding ever new ways to be aggressively transsexual in the face of it all.

New — I spoke to parents whose kids are former patients of NYU Langone's trans youth health care program about the Texas criminal subpoena for their private health records. "I was furious. I was in disbelief. I was scared for my child's well-being." Read my full report:

all month, @akpress.org is donating $2 from every item sold to help Marius Mason re-enter society after almost 20 years in prison for his work trying to defend the earth. This includes both both books they publish and also books they distribute. I'll link some of my own and others that I like:

Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen. Still out of aderall so I sigh and start some fights with gays on Bluesky.

Whenever I have the money my Mother’s Day gift is to donate to the @nationalbailout.bsky.social Black Mama’s Bail Out because thousands of women who have been convicted of no crime sit in jail separated from their children and these politicians want to criminalize helping these women come home.

Apologies for how I may be somewhat chaotic in the coming days for the national ADHD medication shortage has coincided with end of semester crunch, I have been got.

Has anyone found (generic) adderall at any pharmacies in NYC? Both of the pharmacies I use are backordered and I am struggling without it, to be frank, due to the ADHD.

How often do you think about Dame Maggie Smith eating cold chicken out of a basket in The Secret Garden?

I think ideas are getting in the way of my art should I try thinking less y/n

The early 20th century was a period of class war unlike any in US history. Labor uprisings and bloody reprisals by oligarchs and their private armies resulted in national chaos. The cartoonists of The Masses were there to document it all. This is their story. THE DISSIDENTS, coming in Sept.

What is Ezra Klein’s deal?

The transsexual agenda is coming to a publication near you (Summer 2026)

Last night I dreamt that my dissertation committee got the amazing idea that they could help me on the job market by rescinding my doctorate and having me re-do my dissertation to be more legible to hiring committees. Was this a nightmare y/n.

🚨 The keys to being a successful artist in 2026: - produce as many pieces as possible - make short form videos of you doing that ⚠️ What I'm doing: - spend forever on one piece - whining about pressure to make short form video

How did I not know that Miss Frizzle was LILY TOMLIN??

Just walked past an older guy with a cane waiting for the B41 (and you know there’s no damn benches anywhere) and he said “this bus line is disgusting bro” bro I could not agree more. #mta

I am locked out of my apartment with my dogs and my boyfriend is too asleep to answer the door what should I do (not to solve the problem just… with my time).

what graphic novel??

The real joke is, the comments section on that soccer article is still going to be like “no matter what he does he’ll always be a man! he shouldn’t be allowed to play women’s soccer!” because all of this shit is motivated by misogyny against trans and cis women, and also people are fucking stupid.

It turns out my other pet peeve is Them magazine.

As it turns out one of my pet peeves as a historian is the hyper-focus on one big event when counter events are happening all the time like why did you get stuck keep the film rolling look to your left look to your right talk to someone who isn’t famous look at something that didn’t get archived.

i simply don't understand why this is being treated as some sort of accomplishment in the queer press. this is quite grim!!!!!!!!!

I know I need to go to bed because I tried to write Jewish Currents but it came out Jewish Curses.

BREAKING: in April 2026, *every single one* of the 1,570 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,066 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else.

the technology the left is excited about is 16mm projectors

MTA math is like, I work a 15 minute bus or 20 minute train from home. The train isn’t stopping at my stop, I walk to the bus with 30 minutes to spare. 5 buses drive by without stopping, I am now 15 minutes late for work and just called a cab to pay 15$ for what will be a 5 minute drive.

On the one hand if I had transitioned as a child I would probably have had less turmoil on the other hand my name probably would be Tristan, so, dodge one bullet catch another. (2002)

Much of the plastic waste at the recycling plants near Mersin Bay, pictured above, is shipped to Turkey from the UK + Germany. Changes to EU regulations may be about to make this pollution even worse. Our latest article: share.google/KJmIEhS9jP3C...

Reality is very individuated and subjective apparently because I’ve been getting she/her’d all morning.
