Been working on this self portrait for about a week, finished last night. Digital illustration/collage with analog photos of Los Angeles.

Boycotts work. Ask Target (and now Disney).

Kimmel being back is good but also proves the only way to win in this fight is to organize and f*ck with the money. Trust me, for this to be resolved so quickly Disney was poised to lose a sh*t ton of revenue.

LOL. Not Disney releasing a Star Wars trailer hoping that will appease the masses. They are desperate.

We spoke with @chicagoreader.com @thetriibe.com and @unraveledpress.com about the lessons and strategies they learned from media in L.A. and D.C. for their coverage. By @afroxander.bsky.social Find the story (sans paywall) here: lataco.com/chicago-ice-...

Just released the latest PROCSSS newsletter called “Anti-Box Theory” about leveraging social media while being a creative that doesn't fit neatly into one category. www.nonstndrd.com/anti-box-the...

One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

Debate isn’t the point, equality is.

Not everything should be up for “debate”.

Up drawing. Work in progress.

Stop being surprised and organize.

Well actually…

People legit yelled at me for 24 hours when I said it's extremely dumb to RSVP to a protest. Why hand your name over to a group organizing a protest/rally? Do you *want* to have to talk to the FBI? Treat anyone encouraging you to RSVP to a protest as a fed. End of.

Reporting live and direct from the post-American era…

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Today I got back my old Snapshot Galleria domain. It was a photography zine I ran with my friends Erwin and Luis from 2014-2016 that featured dope photographers documenting street culture. And I’m bringing it back in 2026!

Once again for the people in the back…

Independent journalists are stepping up where traditional outlets are pulling back. They’re covering communities, beats, and stories that would otherwise go untold. That’s why Project C launched their #BackIndieMediaDrive with 34 indie journalists to support this month: projectc.biz/backindiemedia

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

I love technology and I know that the timing is unintended but it feels bizarre and dystopian to read the gushing headlines about Meta’s latest surveillance glasses against the backdrop of the authoritarian crackdown we’re all processing.

I remember hearing a few years ago that all empires have fallen at 250 years and have never forgotten that. Guess what next year is 🙃

Everyone is looking for the single, indisputable moment that signals the fall of a free society that never comes, while the evidence that it has already happened suffocates them.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Another day, another “L” for society.

We cannot make the headlines blunter people www.theverge.com/policy/77979...

These corporations ain’t your friends.

Tyrants use Tragedy to Troll & Trample upon our rights!

The weather in Los Angeles (specifically the SF Valley) is disgusting right now.

Love being part of this project *and* discovering newsletters by @melbuer.bsky.social @jensweinreich.bsky.social @jank0.bsky.social alongside well-known publications like @lataco.bsky.social Still trying to hit my goal of 500 paid subscribers 😇 Back independent media this month! And every month!

TFW reading dystopian sci-fi isn’t the escape from reality it used to be.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

NYT: gone. WaPo: gone. LA Times: gone. CBS: gone. CNN: gone. MSNBC: going. Plus almost all local newspapers & local TV news stations. Plus almost all of social media. The information environment is utterly dominated by the right & everything else is downstream of that.

In this day and age, especially in this political climate, there is not a single good reason to ask someone sign up for a protest they could just go to.

The digital release of my “Streets Don’t Lie”, photo zine is out now for subscribers to the free PROCSSS newsletter. It’s a return to my roots as a landscape photographer. Follow the link for a preview and sign up for the whole zine and more. www.nonstndrd.com/zine-02-stre...

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

I have judgmental thoughts about those parents on TikTok having their toddlers walk up and hug strangers. Seriously, what are we doing here yall?

Detroit, Michigan, September 2023

I have thoughts on the way recent events have been framed by those in power. In short:

The Supreme Court is forging an America where weighing race can be used to harm minorities, but not to protect them.

It’s wild that every time something like this happens, the media/government/political class unites in a desperate effort to construct a narrative that doesn’t exist while failing to acknowledge the crystal clear one that does.

Daily reminder that the media is the problem.
