As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.
A six-panel comic. In the first panel, a yellow warbler says "Hey so I'm going to go out on a limb here." In panels two through five, the warbler hops along a long branch against a blue sky with clouds. In panel 6, it stops at the end of the branch and sings.

Even in states where you can vote by mail any time from receiving your ballot ~2 weeks prior until the close of polls...

... People reliably wait until the last minute and drop off their ballot on Election Day.

A change to current laws would mean that millions of votes aren't counted.

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.

Despite negative press reporting the energy transition is well underway. In the UK, we see strong demand for electric vehicles and solar panels. And the more people learn that these technologies can offer them tangible benefits the more others will adopt them too.

More states should follow Colorado's lead. 🍎
jessicacalarco.com Jess Calarco @jessicacalarco.com · 19d
School lunches get a bad rap, but they're healthier than the average packed lunch. And making them free for all amplifies academic and health benefits for low-income kids by removing stigma/shame.

So I'm glad Colorado voted to raise taxes on high-income households to make school meals free for all.
Colorado voters approve tax increase on high earners to fund school meals, food stamps Proposition MM’s passage means Colorado will fully fund free breakfast and lunch for all public school students Coloradans voted Tuesday to increase taxes on wealthy households to fully fund free breakfast and lunch for all public school kids and bolster the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as SNAP or food stamps. The Associated Press projected that Proposition MM would pass at 8:25 p.m. when 57% of the votes counted were in support of the measure and 43% were opposed. The increased taxes on households earning at least $300,000 will shore up funding for free school meals for all public school children, provide raises for school meal staff, and support school district efforts to buy locally-sourced food. Any leftover funding will go toward new state costs for administering the SNAP program as a result of cuts enacted by the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress earlier this year. The passage of Proposition MM marks the second time Coloradans have voted to tax themselves to provide meals for public school kids in recent years. Democrats in the state legislature referred Proposition MM to the ballot this year when funding for the state’s free school meals program began to wane.

Incredibly stunning ducks. Rarely you'll find them in the U.S. as escapees. Saw one hanging out with Wood Ducks for weeks a few years ago. Quite the ladies man. 🪶
