there is a reason why you are HEARING about the things that happen in this area. this community has a ton of organizers. they are oriented towards action. they stand up for their neighbors. and because of all of that, and because they are also mostly BIPOC and poor, they are targeted by pigs.

I remember doing a graveyard shift for porch-front neighborhood watch during the uprisings, with our wheelbarrows and buckets of water. The little girl who lives behind me is a second-grader at Annunciation. And now this. I’m kind of exhausted and furious.

With appropriate warnings but hey it turns out that ICE was lying and just likes murdering people.

Jason’s uncle was kidnapped by ICE on the same day that Jason was inaugurated to his third term on Minneapolis City Council. Please donate and share. Jason does so much for our community and it’s time for us to give back.

based on costumes, the next taskmaster champions lineup will put the players in a featureless cylindrical prison

It is really important for high school kids, especially poor high school kids, to not get swindled by the recruiters. They were relentless in my tiny rural high school in 2002 and most advertised the military as a "way out" of poverty or a way to pay for college. It was insidious, you don't want it.

I personally think firing Gretchen Felker-Martin should be disqualifying for this but what the hell do I know

For comics folks whose readership is often centered in libraries, this is important. From @ginagagliano.bsky.social www.tcj.com/books-are-go...

It's a new year, time to raise those commission prices if you haven't in a while! At very least factor in inflation into the increase.

Fun fact: the US has been at continual war since 1945 and *not a single one of these wars*, from the Korean War to Vietnam to Iraq to Iraq again, was ever declared war by Congress. The last time the US Congress declared war was 1942. 83 years ago.

An administration driven by greed, cruelty, and frankly a sort of empty-hearted boredom. The death of innocents so they can beat their chests and line their already fat wallets. Whatever comes next has to at least look like justice. We cannot just turn the page for the sake of one party’s comfort.

im growing increasingly concerned that luck is not what lemon pigs are attracting

Give yourself something to look forward to next year. Something less substantial than a resolution which can carry regret if you can't stick to it. Think of a book you want to read, a genre of music you'd like to learn more about, a curiosity to chase no matter how trivial. Keep your spark lit.

WIP. all i want to do lately is move the brush around

You should take Vajra's advice and fill out SFWA's survey. But you should also read his entire thread. He has much to illuminate on how our field is being poisoned.

Got invited to once again answer some questions about comics I loved in 2025! eliasrwrites.ghost.io/creators-yea...

once again, thinking about this. I do not know how much more collective grief and fear and death you need to see from us before it moves you to action. call your reps. okay, you don't wanna call for xyz reasons; understand that your next moves will be less effective but still, MAKE THEM.

Immigrant-owned and operated businesses along E Lake St are struggling under the ICE occupation. Please visit if you can, show support, have a meal or buy some gifts. This page has some good suggestions of places to visit: www.minneapolis.org/neighborhood...

They’re scared. Keep going, because they aren’t paid to stop. Their livelihoods depend on taking this on the chin every day. You owe it to your neighbors to make them feel like the worms they are. Like there’s nowhere they can sleep.

Last chance!
