It's Bandcamp.Friday. what a great time to support an independent artist, where Bandcamp waives their cut (but PayPal does not). You can find me at craigh.bandcamp.com/album/the-co... Limited CD quantities available (none for First Night On Earth or the singles/eps).

On average*, men tolerate women just enough to fulfill their own needs. But to know, support, celebrate, and think of a woman outside the context of their needs? Nope. *this is not all men! Have a look at the men on the SUFS team who actively support, celebrate, and engage in a matriarchal system.

I think it’s an oversimplification and makes being gay into a punchline, mostly, but I can’t deny that there are definitely some closeted men in that world. And unfortunately, a lot of self-hating right-wing gay men have done terrible damage to this world. Roy Cohn, Peter Thiel, Sam Altman… ugh.

Something cool is having your top twenty album reentering the local college radio chart at number ten. While I'm not in it for competition, having my work on a list where one or two new sets of ears may hear it...? Indescribable joy. Connection will save us all, right?

Have you spent any time listening to @cjsrfm.bsky.social 88.5 in Edmonton CJSR.com? I had a conversation earlier this week about the importance of community radio, independent radio that makes a difference locally and beyond. Give it a try: and if you don't dig it, come back in an hour! #BeCJSRious

Part of the reason a lot of super rich people are so awful is that when normal people get an absurd amount of money, they immediately start looking around for who they can help.

My thoughts on Image publishing a new Warren Ellis book.

I have spent the day re-reading the entirety of SoManyOfUs.com, including every testimonial. I’ve also re-read dozens of documents and communications from the transformative justice action SMOU-TJ and Warren Ellis started. I wanted to remember the hope I held at that time. I also wanted to see if I could approach this moment with gratitude instead of anger.
To believe in transformative justice is to believe people capable of change. But, as our mediator said during the process, “transformation is heartbreak.” It is crushing and painful, but it is also our right as human beings. I haven’t spoken to Warren Ellis in over 6 years. I don’t know who he is now. I don’t know how he’s changed, but I’m sure he has. I know Warren read all of SoManyOfUs.com and I can’t imagine an outcome where doing so doesn’t change you. But, as Kai Cheng Thom says, “Change is inevitable, growth is optional.” I was often sad that Warren, when confronted with the consequences of his actions, didn’t react in the way I expected him to. But I am grateful it led to me untangling 15 years of complicated feelings and hurtful actions.
I’m grateful that I believe we can change and hold ourselves accountable in this world. But, quoting our mediator again, “being called to accountability feels like being reminded that your shit stinks. and coming clean is hard to do.” It can feel impossible to look in the mirror and confront the worst version of ourselves. Without having the necessary support systems in place to make it possible, I don’t blame or fault anyone for not being able to do it.
We all tried our best. When our attempt at a community accountability action failed, I was disappointed, but grateful that we tried. And grateful to know that Warren had tried, too.

I currently work as an editor in comics, with books I work on being published by Image. I love comics. I love the comics community and how we all keep making them despite it being so hard, with no financial security, and no safety nets. I see groups within the community doing so much good and fighting hard to make the industry more sustainable and safer for everyone involved.
But there is no set process for anyone in the comics community to account for our actions and change our behaviour after harm or abuse has happened. This has led many people to be forced out of the industry – victims, perpetrators, and witnesses. My heart hurts for all the people who were bullied, ostracized, shunned, or threatened out of this community, particularly those I spoke to back in June and July of 2020, impacted by Warren’s actions. I hope one day this changes.
I’m grateful to everyone who was wondered if Warren has “made amends to the satisfaction of all involved.” It shows me solidarity and care are widespread within comics. I wouldn’t say I’m satisfied, but I also would say I am no longer personally invested in Warren’s transformation.
I am personally invested in the books I work on that come out with Image, and I really hope you don’t take any disappointment you feel in Image’s actions out on the creators whose work they publish. Seeing people boycotting Image comics feels a cruel joke when that directly affects my livelihood and that of the people who respect and support me. But I get it – this seems like a financial decision from Image, so respond in a financial fashion. I hope we can all keep ourselves open to change in the future.
My resolve to expand my capacity to hope for change – after a night of anger and crying and shouting – is renewed. Thanks for hearing me out and for reading all of this.

I'm so tired of little tyrants shoving unwanted policies down our throats so the province can 'turn a profit.' How about we start with not allowing them to give themselves raises? Saves a lot of money for Alberta, Inc. TM 🙄

'Fiscally conservative,' eh? That label seems to only come into play when public health care, education, food and shelter are the subjects on the table. Beware of any who utilize separation (in any sense of the word) as a tool. 'Divide and conquer,' right? Grifters, all of 'em.

The richest and most powerful people are also the most miserable, because for them the worst thing possible has already happened. They've gotten everything they wanted and still there was the yawning emptiness that nothing would fill. Now they know there's no remedy.

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

HOW TO LOOK AT ART by Lynda Barry

In the first panel, a dog-headed woman, a mother, looks at a painting in the "Madonna with Baby Jesus" vein. A small blobby child is standing next to her.

Mother: IM NOT SURE HOW TO LOOK AT ART.
Child: WHATS SPOSTA HAPPEN?

In the second panel the dog-headed mother holds up her hands (paws?) trying to explain to the child.

Mother: SOMETHING BIG. A REVELATION.
SUDDENLY YOU JUST UNDERSTAND.

In the third panel dog-headed mother goes back to looking at the painting. The child holds up their arms to be lifted.

Mother: NOT SURE HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
Child: HOW BOUT LIFT ME UP SO I CAN SEE BETTER

In the last panel, the dog-headed mother is holding the child, their position mirrored by the Madonna and baby Jesus in the painting.

Among hard-core Alberta separatists, the level of contempt for courts and hate for Indigenous people is palpable following yesterday's ruling. This is going to be an ugly summer. Reasonable Albertans will need to stand up for the constitution and treaties. Staying silent is being complicit.+
