My friend's black cat was called Lucifur when they got him, but their toddler can't say that, so now his name is Loofah and he looks so resigned
Just like, I never wanted this large kitten but here we are

Some time in 2026 I might be looking for a new #comics series to do variant covers for. Just throwing that out there.

Thomas was raised by books in much the same way that Tarzan was raised by apes but with much less dramatic results. He got his first professional illustration gig when he was thirteen and has been working in the field since then. (Taking time out for meals and such.)

If you thought you were supposed to be ok after years of living how we’ve been living, you’re not really supposed to be ok, why would you expect yourself to be ok? You’re surviving something never anticipated in your make-up day to day as it comes.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.
