Anyone trying to understand Israel in Lebabon over decades, read Maya Mikdashi
"In Lebanon, Israel’s war of impunity is being waged against three fronts: the battlefield, the country’s social fabric and its political society"
These attacks kill & displace while trying to foment sectarian violence.

Comic page rendered in blue and orange tones. A Black woman stands in the middle of towering trees with large holes in their trunks. She wears a sheer slip dress and looks up at the orange sky. Above her are the words THE SKY HAS A CRACK IN IT.
Comic page rendered in pencil, ballpoint pen, and limited digital color. A woman looks up at a large, terrifying creature made of tree branches and severed body parts. Chickadees perch on the creature's wooden limbs. Blue eggs sit in the nest that makes up the creature's head. The creature lowers its long, blood limb towards the woman's face. She looks fearful at first, before closing her eyes and smiling. As this happens, the captions read: "She will give you your words, but only if you give in return. All art demands this of us."

I think a common misconception about abolitionalist politics is that abolition means destroying something.
If you read the books on this list, you'll come to understand abolition as deeply, challengingly, life-givingly creative. Abolition is about creating new worlds & ways of being.
For those who had fomo and bought all your comics online already, will you be making any mini zines like trash person for TCAF? 😅
A purple racoon with its tail up and a snarking expression screaming: BORK!
An angry canadian goose with angry eyebrows, a snakey neck and tone shouting: MEOW! and waddling dangerously to the left.
Instead of watching animekai this week, I've been testing my mouse drawing skills and making Toronto neighbourhood critter stickers. Gotta do a pigeon, skunk, and possum next, missing anyone else? 🤔
By that logic, this is a certain someone I know 💗😘
new dates! come see me and get some zines in your city. some of these shows are in fact named after the city they're in so it's easy to remember
•4/11_Heavy Manners Zine Fair_Los Angeles, CA
•5/2-5/3_Chicago Alternative Comics Expo_Chicago, IL
•6/6-6/7_Toronto Comic Arts Festival_Toronto, ON
I have a new essay in @bostonreview.bsky.social, a transnational look at how slavery and the policing of Black mobilities across Atlantic empires shapes contemporary border regimes, and how this informs how we conceive of abolition www.bostonreview.net/articles/hun...

A faceless person pokes up out from a porous surface that's dissolving and flaking away, they're leaning on their elbows with strands unravelling from their face.

My comic ‘EVERYWHERE’ is about a girl who meets a boy in a tulip field 🌷
After losing one of my best friends to s*icide, it was a way of tackling that grief the best way I knew how & how I ultimately approach those who come and go in our lives.

"That Box We Sit On"
A metal box sits embedded in a field. It’s the everyday hangout spot for two kids after school, but why? One of them lets his imagination run. The other mostly jokes about it.

If anything, we are undoubtedly going to get *more* (not less) support for right wing governance - for austerity policies, public cuts, military spending, border securitization, anti immigration policies & tough on crime laws. This cedes a lot of ideological ground for "common sense conservatism."
And Jagmeet loosing his seat is far more significant than PP loosing his. In broader context, the former is a repudiation of NDP, but PP's seat loss is not the same reflection on his lack of appeal or party popularity. While satisfying, I don't think PP's seat loss is that symbolic of a Tory loss.
Not quite sure Canada's elxn is as stunning of a right wing loss as many are making it out to be. Conservatives won huge % of popular vote incl significant inroads in certain immigrant communities. And Libs didn't even "campaign left, govern right", they campaigned right esp on economic policies.
will be thinking of ya!
le sigh.
