I wanted to make a grown-up version of the magazines I loved as a kid—like Highlights, but for adults. Then I found a bunch of likeminded humans who actually made it happen. Everlasting thanks to all the writers and artists who've contributed to Paper Airplane Vol. 2 and beyond.

Periodic reminder of two other ways to follow my work: 1. Patreon, where all of my posts are free, accessible to all. It is also free to join: patreon.com/jfhimself 2. My own blog (and its RSS feed): refreshingrectangles.com Ya got options.

Alex Pretti memorial ride, San Francisco #fuckice

Posted a couple Bay Area Alex Pretti memorial rides last night but here’s a page with a map of all the global protest/memorial rides happening this weekend: bikepacking.com/news/alex-pr...

In addition to the regular Critical Mass this Friday (Embarcadero Plaza, meet 6pm, roll 6:30), we are also supporting the Alex Pretti memorial/protest rides on Saturday. More info and links to the SF route here: sfcriticalmass.com/posts/2026-0...

"Alex was one of us, could’ve been any of us, so as we mourn, all of us can come together in unity to remember Alex for what he was." Join us for a memorial ride, 10am Saturday at Rockridge BART. There will be donations requested for local Bay Area ICE defense networks & for Minneapolis orgs.

Into the mist

I did some illustrations for this but more than that it’s just a really good project “No cynicism. No ads. No A.I.—all human creativity and natural beauty.” Plus: comics!

Shattered to learn of the death of Elijah Brubaker. I didn’t know him well but he was nice when we did interact. A true, wonderful cartoonist. www.tcj.com/elijah-bruba...

Happy Coastal Cleanup Day!

I keep canceling and quitting sites when they reveal their unwillingness to resist fascism. And I rarely miss them! There’s so much else in the world to take their places.
