Being shitty about/to unhoused people is such a hardline dealbreaker. It means you’re nakedly motivated by your disgust for a group of people in your community and not at all curious about the material conditions that got them there.

If you host a debate on something like this, you are suggesting the subject matter should be up for debate. No, human rights are not up for debate. Those of us who believe in liberation have a moral duty to make sure that any future opposition party jettisons feckless capitulators like these

While riding the B or Q trains between Dekalb Ave station and the Manhattan Bridge, you may catch a glimpse of "Masstransiscope," a public art installation by Bill Brand. It was added to the #NYCsubway system in 1980.

putting aside the trans rights issues specifically (lol), I think part of what has me so frustrated with the Newsom thing is that Pritzker, Walz, and Zohran are putting on clinics for a popular, progressive politics and we’re wasting time talking about this used car salesman ass goblin.

This was coming OFF the subway, but I was dragging a huge bag with me and paused to emotionally prepare for the haul up the stairs to the surface when a man wordlessly swept up behind me, carried my bag alongside me up two flights, then vanished into the crowd just as quickly as he’d appeared.

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel. Now she's a member of HTC. Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

I am so sick of being lied to every second of my life. I am so sick of watching human bodies being tossed into the fucking trash. And with glee! They're so excited about causing pain. How does a person like that live? I know I've asked that before but no one has given me a solid answer.
andrea shea (@whattheshea.bsky.social) reply parent
And that's so fucking cool! Like, that's such a ridiculous privilege, to always be able to learn. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would want to steal the joy of discovery from themselves. Even, and perhaps especially, when it's hard. Because the feeling when it clicks is sublime.
andrea shea (@whattheshea.bsky.social) reply parent
But it's not just art, right? It's life. Every day I learn incredible new things from the artists I work with, the friends and partner I love so dearly, from strangers whose perspectives I've never experienced. From my mother, who lived more life in a single decade than I have in my entire 34 years.
andrea shea (@whattheshea.bsky.social)
One of the greatest joys of my job is seeing all these amazing talents who are by and large already top of their game professionally still pushing themselves to unlock a new level, to find a new style, to perfect what already reads to a layperson like me as perfection.

Enjoying the process of creating art, even when it is hard, is the entire reason to do it in the first place. It should be fun. If someone's entire reason for wanting to be an artist is to be handed the result, then it will never be a satisfying endeavor. That is a spiritual dead end.

Hard to beat “there’s a cameo of Andrea’s dog on the dust jacket” on the list of Why You Should Buy the Jimmy Olsen Deluxe Edition, I know, but worth noting that it’s ALSO a brilliant comic made by folks who truly LOVE comics and it includes an all-new and unbelievably thorough Easter egg appendix.
