The assumption that all romance is trash for dumb people who like formulas -- that's still a thing in TV & film. A big thing. Also, like, I'm sorry, but a middle or upper class man is an asshole and is doing crimes or solving crimes? That's not a genre? MORE formulaic than a romance? HILARIOUS

NEW: Louisiana’s parole board freed 185 prisoners during Gov. Jeff Landry’s tenure, compared with 858 in the two years before he took office.

Hundreds who would’ve been released under previous governors remain incarcerated with little chance of parole.

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

hourlycomicsday.com

#hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday #hcd
"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

On January 7th, we got the absolutely devastating news that Loretta Pierre was denied parole for the fifteenth time. This is more than any other woman in the history of Mississippi. I'm heartbroken by the inhumanity and arbitrary cruelty of the MS Parole Board. Please take 3 steps to help.
Loretta Pierre stands in a graduation cap and gown, smiling. Around her on a yellow background, text reads: On January 7th, Loretta Pierre was denied parole for the 15th time and set off three years. This is more than any other woman in the history of Mississippi. Please help us challenge this. Email and phone zap: Wednesday, January 21 through Friday, January 23, 9am-3pm ET. See the rest of the posts for info! Free Loretta Pierre. Here are a few ways you can support Loretta and challenge this decision: Email and call urging reconsideration. Donate to our campaign. Write her a letter of love and support Art of the Mississippi Five above text. Text reads: Email and phone zap. Email and call the parole board and MDOC urging that Loretta be reconsidered for parole immediately. We are organizing an intensive three day zap, so please make as many calls and emails as possible between January 21st-23rd. Consider getting together with friends or hosting a zap gathering! Details in the link. https://bit.ly/LorettaZap Art of the Mississippi Five above text which reads: Donate. We have raised our campaign fundraising goal to $10,000 with the hopes of funding Loretta's commissary and increased visitation for family and friends over the upcoming months.

I just made these calls earlier today which was a big thing for me, someone with huge phone anxiety! So please call as well, in honor of my exposure therapy. An office admin will likely answer and you can read the script to them.

Please please please call the parole board and Mississippi DOC. A three years set off is absurd. Please give financially if you can, and please write to Loretta. She loves to hear from folks, and she is so worth having as a correspondent in your life.

Free them all.
Loretta sits at a table with a microphone resting on it, reading from a paper. Around her text reads Write to Loretta. Loretta needs connection now more than ever. Please send her a letter of love and support. Write in black pen on plain letter-sized paper: Loretta Pierre, #71843 DCF 3800 Co Rd 540 Greenwood, MS 38930 black text on a yellow background reads Free Them All

TWIN CITIES. I'm hosting a zap gathering TOMORROW, 6pm, at my home in Mac-Groveland in St. Paul. Come learn how Loretta's parole denial is connected to the fascist occupation of our cities, leave a voicemail for my nemeses, and learn more about Loretta and the Mississippi Five. DM for address.

Twin Cities! I’m doing respite hours every weekend this month. It looks like we’re going to be enduring this for at least a few more weeks if not longer, and respite needs to be part of our toolkit. DM for address.
A poster reads: RESPITE HOURS. 1. What are Respite Hours? A respite is a short period of rest or relief from something difficult. These are open house hours to gather with others and recharge to go out and act again. 2. Who is hosting? I’m Ai (“eye”,) a neighbor and resident. I’m a library worker, a union activist, and I knot and crochet (both badly!) you can find me on Signal @sonofahurricane.84. 3. What do I do during the time? Just exist! I provide a big pot of (usually herbal) tea and maybe some activities. This is a time to recharge yourself before getting back out there. 4. Accessibility issues? There are plenty! My house is on the 2nd floor, with no elevator; I can’t promise an allergen-free environment. I do own an air filter for filtration. 5. When and where? Every weekend in January, from 2-4pm on Saturdays and 1-5 on Sundays. DM for address. I live in the upper unit of a 2 unit building.

My partner made some new music, and I made them some art to go with it!

Go give it a listen leveesfolk.bandcamp.com/album/cult-o...
Cult of the Crow by Levees. A black and white illustration of a crow looking into an aged mirror, the bird has no reflection. Behind the bird stand two melted candle sticks, one is burning, the other is smoking- snuffed out.

My friend @imscribblemouse.bsky.social custom framed my poster from the Chicago Film Society screening of Tokyo Drift at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social , one of the most memorable theater experiences I've ever had, due to the inclusion of Routemaster beforehand. Had to get that poster ON SIGHT.
A chaotic poster of red, blue, and yellow cars racing in all directions. At the top it says in bold black letters: Chicago Film Society Presents The Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift. At the bottom of the poster distorted black and yellow art says Routemaster. It is framed in a black frame with red, yellow, and blue borders, wonderfully matching the poster.

SAVE THE DATE! Off the Page returns with another evening of queer comix readings. Mark your calendars for October 23rd at 6:30pm. More details coming soon!
A poster that reads: SAVE THE DATE! Off the Page, an evening of queer comics readings, will be held on October twenty-third, at six-thirty p.m. to eight-thirty p.m. The lettering on the poster is drawn in a slightly spooky, Halloween-like art-style.

Just encountered a very cool idea for a book club! Each person reads a different book & annotates it. They pass it to the next person in the club, who annotates it, & passes it on. Rinse & repeat! It's a different kind of conversation AND creates a very cool art object at the end!

ALSO, TO CELEBRATE JAIME: if you’re in Chicago, go to CAKE where they are having a BIRTHDAY QUEST and bring comics to donate to incarcerated people (paperback only, no rips, no staples, no nudity or too much violence) for a PRIZE.
