ICYMI: trust me with your children

even if it was good policy, this shit is completely ancillary to the goal of actually limiting the power of big tech. Elon Musk has a trillion dollars and is trying to start a global race war, your response to that can’t be “kids should be on their phones less”

thomas simply couldn't join the opinion, this corrupt, misanthropic bigot had to throw in his two cents and put his bigotry into the record

what if they fought back against republicans instead

Have kids between 8 and 12 years old? Or are you friends with folks who have kids that age? In NYC? I am running six weeks of workshops for tweens in Greenpoint. More info below! My goal: give students the confidence & tools to push through the age when they’re told to stop being artists.

Always surreal and meaningful to get to listen to albums I did the artwork for, and doubly so to see music performed with that art projected 20 feet high. Please go listen to Aliya Ultan’s breathtaking album, Looks Far Woman, out today. & if you get the chance to see her perform: do not pass it up.

wait, i've got something for this...

I’m still not used to having candidates I like WIN elections? And, as a special extra little treat, I get to have a little embarrassment of the toothless, out-of-touch party establishment?!?

One of the things I genuinely miss about Twitter was the way you could tell brands like Alaska Airlines that they’re pieces of shit. My flight just got canceled in part because it was so delayed the flight crew gave up, and then lied to us as they were leaving the plane saying “we’ll be right back”

This year’s annual Greenpoint Open Studios welcomed visitors into the workspaces of over 250 artists in the Brooklyn neighborhood.

We need the city to enforce its laws with teeth. So far it's strongly worded letters from James and silence from the city, whose own CHR complaint against Langone has sat frozen for over a year.

Really wondering when the New York's state and city Human Rights Law is going to be enforced against these hospitals.

POWERLESS - from my forthcoming album is streaming listen and preorder THESE KILLING TIMES here emmaruthrundle.ffm.to/these-killin...

New work for @emmaruthrundle.bsky.social, inspired by the single, “Powerless,” off her forthcoming LP These Killing Times. Thank you so much to Emma for the trust, and congratulations on this gorgeous album. Here’s to breaking & to building something better 🫀 emmaruthrundle.ffm.to/these-killin...

Bb’s first @hyperallergic.com mention 🥺😭 in this really sweet piece highlighting Greenpoint Open Studios, including many of my wonderful neighbors! hyperallergic.com/the-small-mi...

Smo is a fuckin' angel. I know many people who agree with me!

Second day of Greenpoint Open Studios (5/31) about to open. Thanks so so so much to everyone who came through yesterday! 12 to 6, 276 Greenpoint Ave, Building 8, 3rd floor. Photo by my first visitor of the day, the amazing & talented @mhambouz.bsky.social

Reposting because I keep getting shit in the mail where lovely people who don’t know better are using ULine!

This weekend is Greenpoint Open Studios! If you’re in the NYC area, I strongly recommend checking out the artists participating. We’ll be opening our studio doors from 12 to 6 both 5/30 and 5/31. Info on where to find me here: greenpointopenstudios.com/artists/caro...

i think that everyone knows not to use u-line for record storage supplies by this point but JUST IN CASE

as the french say, "la lol. le mao"

Truly this account does not miss

thank god we have kelly. this is such a perfectly phrased reminder of something i’ve been ruminating on a lot lately. this hit me like a lightning bolt. stop inviting people to surrender.

Fell down a botany rabbit hole looking up different parasitic plants and uh, well, here’s uh, the lousewort.

“roundtable podcast where not one person knows what they’re talking about” is a competitive space and i wish them well

like a butterfly dropping into its grave, of course. a phrase we’ve all used and a very normal, relatable kind of image that conveys clear meaning. i’m always saying this. so beautiful, like a delicate butterfly croaking mid-air and gently floating into a tiny open bug grave at the insect cemetery.

Happy to reveal my cover art for Aliya Ultan’s Looks Far Woman, out 6/26 on Kǒu Records! I was also exceptionally pleased to dig into some intense black & white art after working in color a lot lately. Check it out here: aliyaultan.bandcamp.com/album/looks-...

cool

the dark time

Having all the cards is, famously, not the goal in Uno.

Even I Have Given Comfort. Pen and ink on gouache-toned hot press paper, 7”x10”. Part of WOWxWOW’s annual small works show, Microvisions. Title yoinked from Russell Hoban’s Turtle Diary, one of the best things I have ever read. wowxwow.com/shop/microvi...

an easy fix

WOWxWOW’s 9th Microvisions show opens Friday (tomorrow!), so here’s a sneaky peek at my piece for it. Collector’s preview link in a reply (where you can be sneaky and find the whole piece a day early)

Work in progress

There is nothing like the DELIGHT of seeing good people you knew a while back doing good things. Brandon is an animator I went to school with and HE JUST LAUNCHED A KIDS SHOW FOR @aclu.org!!! He’s Mr. C (watch the whole thing) and words cannot express how fantastic this is on so many levels

I’ve seen a specialist who is in network for years for a chronic thing, and last year some weird billing error caused her to all of a sudden be “out of network” and it took more than six different calls with insurance rep to get them to talk to the hospital. Surprise! In network!

Somehow this is my 7th shirt design for Inter Arma, and I think it’s my favorite? For their @roadburnfest.bsky.social exclusive performance of The Cavern. If you’re lucky enough to catch them at Roadburn, please give them all enormous hugs. Their many years of trust means a lot to me.

Some of the best opening lyrics I can think of: “When the iceberg hit / oh they must have known / god moves on the water / like Casey Jones”

There’s a new @gadgetgrindcore.bsky.social EP on the way, and I am DELIGHTED to reveal the cover I did for it (gratitude to Brendon for modeling for me!). The EP is BRUTAL and I am so honored by Gadget’s trust on this! gadgetgrindcore.bandcamp.com/album/coerced

"RFK Jr. just wants to fight chronic disease!"

Brief wholesome timeline break: here is a silly goose I made at work (for attendees of a goose-themed birthday party to make this weekend) Back to the horrors.

call me old fashioned but I don’t think anyone should have to trade for “no deporting US citizens” we should get that one for free you know

ICE is trafficking people who aren’t from there to a tiny landlocked absolute monarchy on the borders of South Africa and Mozambique.

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.

They're torture camps

Birnam Wood has come to Dunsinane

Can’t make this shit up: this raised $666 (THE NUUUUMBER OOOOF THE BEEEEAAST) so $333 goes to each organization! Receipt screenshots in replies

Final day to enter!!! SO close to $500, please help me obliterate that goal today if you can. Thank you!!

The world factbook was an invaluable resource in asylum petitions—a place where the federal government acknowledged in writing that, for example, Tibetans face systematic repression in China. I don’t like to have it vanish.
