How to get into nature.
A four-panel comic titled "how to get into nature". In panel 1, a person kneels in the woods, looking down at a red-backed salamander, and the text says "notice a living thing." In panel 2, the text says "notice some other things that live near it," and there's a starflower, springtail, ant, little wood satyr butterfly, and salamander on the leaf litter. In panel 3, covered in creatures, plants, and a colorful starburst, the text says "Notice the connections between them, discover the wider ecosystem, learn about its histories, and find yourself following links from bedrock to stratosphere, between biotic and abiotic, at scales both microbial and massive, until you’re hopelessly overwhelmed by the wonder of it all." In panel 4, the text says "Fall into a daze and let moss engulf you." The person from the first panel is still kneeling in the woods, looking happy as moss slowly engulfs them, and they're saying "This is for the best."

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Trump-administration officials and MAGA influencers have repeatedly called these activists “violent” and said they are involved in “riots.” But the resistance in Minnesota is largely characterized by a conscious, strategic absence of physical confrontation. Activists have made the decision to emphasize protection, aid, and observation. When matters escalate, it is usually the choice of the federal agents. Of the three homicides in Minneapolis this year, two were committed by federal agents. “There’s been an incredible, incredible response from the community. I’ve seen our neighbors go straight from allies to family—more than family—checking in on each other, offering food and rides for kids and all kinds of support, alerting each other if there’s ICE or any kind of danger,” Malika Dahir, a local activist of Somali descent, told me. If the Minnesota resistance has an overarching ideology, you could call it “neighborism”—a commitment to protecting the people around you, no matter who they are or where they came from. The contrast with the philosophy guiding the Trump administration couldn’t be more extreme. Vice President Vance has said that “it is totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next-door neighbors and say, ‘I want to live next to people who I have something in common with. I don’t want to live next to four families of strangers.’” Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America.

Considering the events of well -*gestures at the whole month of January*, international media should stop giving the modicum of credibility traditionally afforded to institutional sources and fine-comb every single line they spew instead.

Thrilled to announce my 5th (omg) graphic novel!!!

This standalone fairy tale is part an excuse to draw lots of monsters, part the agrophobia I've developed in these pandemic years, and the rest—a story of comfort that doesn't shy away from the dark 🧡🧡🧡

www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...
lil nervous Bean in their cap and flower smock illustration of lil Bean is panicking as they ride on the back a big wolf beast. above them, a screen shot from a rights report: Rosemary Brosnan at Quill Tree has acquired, in an exclusive submission, Bean by Bree Paulsen (Garlic & the Vampire). In this middle grade graphic novel, tiny (and agoraphobic) forest creature Bean is forced to face their greatest fears when the last remaining piece of their family is stolen, leaving them no choice but to confront the monsters they're most afraid of. Publication is planned for winter 2029; Britt Siess at Britt Siess Creative Management sold world English rights.

Let's talk about Ernest Everett Just, a cell biologist who unraveled the mysteries of fertilization in spite of the obstacles he faced as an African-American.

Just's story weaves together good, rigorous science with racism & tragedy.

He was born in 1883 in seaside Charleston, South Carolina.
A scientist studies a research rig. He is pensive and contemplative, with his chin on his fist, observing. He's a handsome young man wearing a suit and tie, with closely cropped hair.

You can be joyful and still be furious.

Power your fury, into your joy and love all you love all the harder, because that is exactly what they don't want you to do. Do not let them hand you despair. They are doing that because your happiness is a gun and they don't want you holding it.

there's a short window of time to do it but the reason people use new year changeover to rethink goals and who they're trying to be is you can actually respec your character stats without penalty if you do it soon, button is in the bottom right of the level up screen the UI doesn't highlight it well

Alright! 2026, here we go! Last year was hectic and I'm afraid it left me clinging a bit too much to familiar,safe places and habits. So, one goal for this year is to get experimental this year: get out of my comfort zone, try new things, new hobbies, go new places, see new sights!
