Hey, I’m Trung! I’m a comic artist and author. Here are my books! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/2192...

Wild chain of events: An artist on FB asked who the subject of a painting was--she'd painted from a photo. A friend alerted me. I was able to tell Shannon Burch that her painting of a woman protesting at Broadview ICE... was me. Honored, to say the least. Abolish ICE www.instagram.com/p/De48EQUGYSF/

I’m a guest and I’m saaaaaur stoked 🤩

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

It is in a lot of ways just an abdication of responsibility, of taking a role in forming the political environment. It's the fundamental problem of shallow popularism; you assume you're just a powerless actor reacting to the "preferences" of the "median voter", which is a loser's way of thinking.

Because it really is the behavior of people who don't even perceive the *existence* of a movement, who treat politics like it's just their little personal little league game to win or lose. It's wrecker shit, fundamentally. Insecure, pathetic behavior.

What these politicians are doing when they put out dumb transphobic ads or say dumb transphobic things on stage is that they're weakening the movement either out of personal bigotry or out of doing incorrect electoral math, and they really should get shit for it.

Went to a cool voice actor party and his instinct was still “gotta bring treats for all my buds in the trenches before I call it a night”

People are sharing all sorts of stories of Bauza on the picket lines fighting for artists and standing up for the craft of animation but I just keep thinking about the time he went to Tara Strong’s birthday and stopped by 6Point on the way home with a tray of cakepops for the artists working late

My goodness My Big Fat Greek Wedding is still very charming

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

Auntie Witch wishes you a Happy Halloween

well that's the last thing we fucking need

Why does this sort of explain that cute thing he has with Jack McBrayer

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

I bet there’s something between the proliferation of resistblue bots posing as quirky progressive elders and all those “My Kids Went No Contact With Me” articles, but thinking about it too hard bums me out.

Did you know that in addition to one-on-one writing coaching, I do workshops? I just finished a really delightful hour with a newsroom talking about and troubleshooting strategies for writing for fun when you also write for a living; and I'd love to bring that to your org, too!

I fundamentally disagree with my (immigrant, refugee) parents on so many things, but their reaction to Operation Metro Surge was, “Yeah, governments just do that sometimes,” and I realized that none of us really believe in American exceptionalism.

Ok, one more thing… links to PornHub are allowed, even though links to OnlyFans are not. This isn’t about porn, it’s about censorship of independent creators. #Censorship

AABB member @redgoldsparks.bsky.social has edited this series of essays the explore the power of queer comics & why they, in particular, terrify the right wing. Check it out here:

And was it the most annoying take ever? Yes it was.

Every time this platform does something I find neat, there’s always a catch

Fascists don’t love big fantasy and science fiction because they find them artistically resonant or whatever. They like them because other people find them impressive. You’re thinking too hard.

This is what my high school is named for lmao

Relax fit Blade.
