I drew this thing. Look at it.

Toxic algae is killing manatees, so I drew a cartoon, because what else?

This is not usually a very feel-good blog. But I feel the need to reflect a bit on this past weekend’s National Conference for Media Reform, a decidedly feel-good endeavor, so apologies if this isn’t the kind of cheerleading you expected when you started following this space.
NCMR 2011 was the first non-comics conference where I’d been invited to speak, and good lord was I nervous. I’ve never really liked conferences, and I think none of us quite knew what kind of reception we’d get from the “words people.” As a result of that weekend, I made connections that changed the course of my work and personal life completely. Just a couple days after NCMR 2013, I think I can say the same thing. Plus I got to draw.

“I would say that the environmental movement has relegated itself to cheerleading and mindless chants and that it’s time for us to step away from the pom-poms. I encounter a boundless enthusiasm for creating positive change when holding dialogues with environmental groups. Unfortunately, the mainstream environmental movement is channeling that energy into an increasingly corporatist, and what I call a “productivist,” set of priorities.”
Happy National Farmworker Awareness Week. Me for Grist, making everyone uncomfortable.
Please share so that I might get to draw more important stuff like this.
From DT64: “Marina Abramović and Ulay had an intense relationship back in the 70s and worked together as a couple on many amazing performances. When they felt the relationship had come to an end they decided to walk the great chinese wall, each one from another end, meeting in the middle for a last big hug and never see each other again.
At Marina’ s 2010 MOMA retrospective she performed “The artist is present” and took one minute of silence with each stranger sitting in front of her. After so many years Ulay came to the show without her knowing that he is there.”
Oh weird, there’s something in my eye, must be allergies.

This is what structural racism looks like.
Chicago, we have to do better.
Media criticism done on a napkin.
