Five years ago today we lost our great friend and long-time colleague Jesse Hamm. We’ll post some quotes from Jesse and links to his art and writing in this thread.
Pen and ink portrait of Jesse Hamm drawn by his collaborator Derek Kirk Kim. Jesse is saying: “SOMEWHERE OUT THERE
ARE PEOPLE WHO NEED TO HEAR A STORY YOU'RE UNIQUELY
ABLE TO TELL.
ART BY OTHERS, EVEN BETTER ART, WON'T DO;
ONLY YOURS.”

Every time I open this app, most of what people post makes me want to cry. I agree with 99% of it but I also don’t enjoy 99% of it and I am tired of causing myself pain. So I visit less and less, and I mostly stay quiet because making little quips and being joyful about anything feels inappropriate

Don't be fooled! This is NOT a venomous snake. It just looks like one. You're looking at a Giant Dead Leaf Mantis (Deroplatys desiccata), native to Malaysia, Philippines & Borneo. These little guys are masters of disguise. This is their "scary sharp-toothed predator" trick, but they have MORE!

Hey other adoptees who, like me, have an amended birth certificate that’s a photo of microfiche with blanks and mistakes from the amendment: we should all order new birth certificates now. They’ll come on official docs that DHS/TSA will be able to recognize as a birth certificate.

When I was 23, I saw a bunch of really cute velvet furniture on the side of the road, totally nice. Took it in and a year later a friend’s new gf came to my house and it turns out I’d stolen her entire living room while she was moving.

Getting advertisements from the “learning app” Nibble, which is apparently made to guarantee you have no idea what a Red-tailed Hawk, Cedar Waxwing, Great Blue Heron, or Downy Woodpecker looks like in real life 🙄 Also, identifying birds is not ornithology (signed, an ornithologist and a birder)
Screenshot of an advertisement for a so-called learning app. It says “have you tried the ornithology game everyone talking about” which is notably terrible grammar. Under the words are hideous AI generated drawings supposedly of common North American bird species but they look nothing like the real species for half those shown.

Whenever I look at an elephant skull, I realize that the images we come up with for dinosaurs are probably wrong. Nobody looking at an elephant skull would guess about that trunk existing unless you’re already familiar with elephants.

You can also use the map in the story to look up vaccination rates in your local schools! This was a HUGE data lift: we reviewed and mapped tens of thousands of individual schools’ data, assembling the most comprehensive public database. And we published this data here: github.com/washingtonpo...

There is a boarded up piece of shit trailer across the street from my house again, and what is remarkable about it is that it’s the SAME one from last month. It just keeps driving away as they start to chain it up to tow, and then it comes right back.

I think it's important not to misunderstand what these social media platforms are. They are not public arenas where we bravely take on reactionary forces in honorable combat. They are apps that expose you to stress and thereby simulate the feeling of having done something useful

Jesse Hamm had the take to end all takes on children's media. "People who disdain writing ‘just for children’ fail to realize that those children will remember what they read, maybe for the rest of their lives. You’re not writing for permanent children; you’re getting an early start on adults.”

Stopped by Books With Pictures in Portland and left a little doodle in a few copies of my Incredible Doom graphic novels. 🖊️📖 If you’re into early internet drama, these are for you. If you’re in town, swing by—they’ve got some of the best comics around.
The graphic novel “incredible doom“ is being pulled out of a bookshelf. A bookmark peeking out of the top of the book reads “this book is signed!“

I am so sick and tired of professional athletes telling kids they have to "exercise" and "practice" and "eat right" to become world-class athletes. That sort of gate-keeping has to stop! Today I'm announcing a new non-profit that provides unlimited steroids to any kid who wants to compete.

The scary thing about 70 vultures dying of Bird Flu at once is, well, everything, but also: what were they scavenging? The flu doesn't kill birds the second they get it, so they were after something that was dead and enough food for 70 vultures to hang around eating for days until they got sick.
