For Disability Pride Month, one thing I'd love abled bodied people to figure out is how to speak to someone with chronic health issues without implying that if they themselves had the disabled person's health conditions, they would end it all. I promise you life goes on- even with health issues.

What my friend said… Give yourselves a day off when you can.
Y'all, it's ok to take a single holiday to enjoy yourself. Yeah, the world is dire and a lot is at stake, but you ain't gonna make a difference in that by stressing yourself over things you can't change. All you'll do is diminish your ability to act when the time comes that you need to.

Picked this up yesterday on a whim, and I’m glad that I did. Jason Aaron wrote a very fun, humorous, and loving tribute to Scrooge McDuck, beautifully illustrated by some great artists. A fantastic homage to Carl Barks and Don Rosa and all who came before. Precisely what I needed for morale.

Pretty much every move I’ve ever made in comics since age 25 has been inspired by the 70-year-olds I saw in comic con Artist Alleys, cranking out sketches of characters they created but don’t own, to pay their doctor bills and nursing home fees.

Already feels bad, like the Trump years did, when there was no way to escape knowing horrible new things multiple times a day

I honestly think a lot of people have, as a trauma response, suppressed the memory of what living under Trump felt like every single damn day (understandable), and this Supreme Court ruling yanked the stitches right out of that wound.

If you wonder why I keep doing the free monthly comics feedback thing at Books with Pictures, the answer is 1: I think that good teaching can make a big difference, & 2: I hate to think of broke students going thru what @colleendoran.bsky.social describes: colleendoran.substack.com/p/the-cost-o...
PORTLAND COMICS ARTISTS: Would you like feedback on your work from an experienced professional? I'll be at @bkswpicspdx.bsky.social this Friday July 5th from 4-6 PM for First Friday Office Hours. We'll be outdoors at the tables next to the shop. How does this work? Details in the thread below.
The Cost of Artcolleendoran.substack.com I recently posted about the advantage I managed to squeak out of the international mortgage lending crises, and another lending crises that was yet another lucky near miss for me was... The education ...

fuck man, I don't even know what to say anymore. One political party wants to burn everything to the ground and institute theocratic, kleptocratic autocracy. I think this is bad, just one man's opinion.

Reminds me of how almost all the French dadaists and surrealists were WWI veterans of the trenches seriously exploring alternatives to conventional thought and language.

TIL that the New Wave band DEVO was formed in response to the Kent State shootings. In 1970, co-founders Gerald Casale and Bob Lewis got serious about their idea of the "de-evolution" of the human race after Casale's friends Jeffrey Miller & Allison Krause were killed by OH national guards.

Never Forget. The Trump family was disallowed from operating ANY charity in the State of New York because they stole from a kids cancer charity. A kids cancer charity. A kids cancer charity.

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

My grandfather takes a drink in France on a break from fighting Nazis. He was the best man I’ve ever known. My childhood hero. Let there be no doubt which side I’m on today.
