Most of the commentary about this concentrates on how it's just an asshole move. And it definitely is. But it's also a violation of ADA

context. sentiment. inferences. People seriously cannot do these things anymore. That’s why they angrily demand you spell out every joke, every reference, super duper promise you mean something only this one prescribed way. They cannot do it for themselves or tolerate the any ambiguity.

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

Great thread and just want to highlight how important it is for kids to *finish* books. A lesson which sticks with me from my undergrad (K-8 English teacher) is that if you've got a baby/toddler and you're reading a picture book to them, that even if they get bored, wriggle, etc...

Everything Gale says in this thread, but I'm highlighting the visual literacy part bcuz we as a society don't put enough emphasis on visual communication. We treat reading and language as only a matter of alphabet, not images. Children need both. Dismissing the role of art doesn't help literacy.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

Pen, watercolor, black & white charcoal pencil.

Another featured piece from the Spooky Pants book.

A man in a sweater stands with his hands on his hips looking out of a large window with the curtains open. Things aren’t looking good outside, reader. A massive winged demon is emerging from the clouds as dozens of little ghosts and bone demons rip through the sky. On the ground below we see townsfolk running through the grass. Our man in the window is in no mood for this. He lets us know, “Oh, I am in no mood for this.” His dog looks out the window as well, wagging its tail. 

Fantasia (1940) inspired drawing. I think I could’ve gone a little heavier with the chaos outside but we’ll try again with fresh drawings this October. I like how the clouds turned out. Trying to balance my sloppy lines with more detail can be tricky but I think we achieved a good result.

So he grants them few interviews, and defaults to posting to social media to talk about city projects. Fewer press conferences, more "Hi guys, what's up, I'm filling potholes." And it's working. He's largely excised the propagandists from the conversation and reduced them to a peanut gallery.

A thing worth remembering is that Zohran Mamdani is not only using direct social media communication with his constituency as an undeniably successful charm offensive, but also in recognition that legacy media is *fully* captured by billionaire interests, & attempting to go thru them is pointless.

A man pulls off his jacket to reveal a black suit underneath and says "I have to confess... I'm really a Fed." The man he's talking to also pulls off his jacket and says "no way... I'm a Fed too!" They embrace and fall in love. 60 years later, one of the Feds is on his deathbed. He says "I've been lying this whole time. I just said I was a Fed to impress you." The other man leans in, smiling and says "I know. I'm a Fed." Tears of melancholic joy stream down their faces.

My art tip for you today is to not just view your pose references but to act them out. Get into that pose. Feel where the weight is. Where the clothes pull. How does it feel? How is your stance? What feels most natural? Is there more slouch to it? Where is the gravity pull?

Juliet: Okay, Stephen and I will take the baby to yellow tower 

2. Panel two, Juliet, surprised, has just drop kicked the baby.

Juliet: While y'all head back to --

Stx: KATHONK

3. From below. Noah and Daniel have leapt off the top of the mountain in pursuit of the Baby (tumbling in the foreground). In the background, Juliet and other looks down watching.

No, it wasn’t just that one video of ICE throwing me. Literally every physical encounter I’ve had with ICE has resulted in someone touching or grabbing my breasts. And that was in public. Weirdly, they don’t do the same to my masc friends. Those folks tend to get dragged by the neck.

Wow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.
Mother Jones

"In today's society, you know, everybody's filming everything, everybody has a cell phone," Glueck said. If an officer punches someone on camera, that can go viral in an instant; even a standard taser leaves puncture wounds. But "the glove is low optic, and it looks better on camera, and it looks better to those witnesses. With a glove, there are no burn marks or scars."But local police across the country are still eagerly buying the gloves—in large part so that they can harm people and avoid being sued for it. It's been successful "from the patrolmen to the jailers," Lumpkin County Sheriff Stacy Jarrard said in a Compliant Technologies promotional video. "It's been a great tool as far as mitigating liability," according to Nelson County Jailer Justin Hall.
Bob Couey of the Floyd County Sheriff's Department sung the GLOVE's praises, too: "I highly recommend these gloves to anybody that's looking for a utility they can use that is conducive to not leading to lawsuits."
