Just called my rep AGAIN to tell them to sign onto this. Every D in the House should be a cosponsor. Yes, it won't pass the R-controlled House, but we have to make this an issue.

Please feel free to call your own rep if you feel similarly! You can find them here: www.house.gov/representati...

As I settle into middle age myself I have been thinking about the damage this does to all of us: fearing our own natural stages of life, terrified that we will be sidelined, neglected, ignored, put down (in two senses).

don't let this lead you to despair, though! remember, the united states, even the continental states alone, is an infamously hard to control group of governments. this hurts progress, but also hinders the most draconic forms of fascism's oppression

Happy Earth Day. Did you know that I sometimes make comics about climate change? Here are two, with very different moods. Things are bad, but you're not alone, and there's an army of people who are fighting alongside you.

Early spring invariably generates an overwhelming desire to clean the hell out of my house. Why is that? At no other time during the year is cleaning so satisfying. Feels like a deep & primal urge

Really great piece about the stories we tell ourselves. The US focus on individualism is on full display here: a colleague in Tampa lives in a raised house, so no problem right? But recently, the STREET flooded. They couldn't leave the house for almost a week. popula.com/2019/04/02/h...
