I’m reading a book I’m really enjoying, There Goes Maine!, on the history of Maine. This, above, is not it. This is a book I found on Amazon by misremembering the title of the book I’m actually reading as Here Comes Maine! Moral: Holy shit, look at this fucking book cover #gameover #bestcoveralive

I am now wholly obsessed with this photograph. This is the biggest scan I could find.

relatedly: “say, I think Rick Santorum’s senior photo looks similar to that of someone I know! I’m going to search my brain and figure out who it is, and then I’ll put his senior photo next to Rick Santorum’s, in a Tumblr post! Boy, will that yet-unidentified person feel foolish upon receiving a top-notch joshing from me! Me who is Channing!”

After a 25-year glasses career, I’m getting lasik today. We had a good run.

a note on the bottom set: the photographer was getting some glare from my glasses, but instead of asking me to turn my head, he just moved my glasses on my face. I don’t trust people for whom eighth grade wasn’t hell.

“I am for the record, I hold a BA in anthropology and an MA in cultural studies, so I’m pretty well read on multiple aspects of identity politics. I’m pro-diversity pro-gay rights, have always thought of myself as a feminist (so much so that I’m almost exclusively attracted to strong outspoken women). I support affirmative action, despite the fact I’ve been the victim of reverse discrimination more than once. I support the current discussion of diversity in the steampunk movement whole-heartedly.”

- and that’s when I clicked Close Tab.

A thing Emily is yelling at me right now while we make the bed

“… And also, I have come up with a very good invention I don’t know why you haven’t made it yet! With your 3-D printer! What! What is so funny about my invention! I’ll have you know I am a very good inventor! For instance! I invented… the calendar! My new invention is BLANCHORS™! I bet you don’t even know how to spell BLANCHORS™! Hmmm!” Emily makes me laugh more than anyone else I’ve known, which is probably why I married her. Sorry for mushiness.

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 23:19:38 -0800

I haven’t really drawn more than a few doodles a year since I was a kid, but lately I’ve been wanting to get back into it, so I bought myself a nice sketchpad and pen for xmas (and then wrapped it and labeled it TO CHANNING FROM SANTA and put it with the other gifts) (and then felt weird when I opened it in front of my two-member family). Anyway! I like how this olde-timey hobo dog turned out. I can’t really draw anything specific, I can only mess something up and then salvage it, but that’s basically my creative process in general.

Here’s a video that I produced back in 2010 with Mou Khan, for SAALT’s An America For All Of Us campaign. SAALT’s been using it for trainings for a while, and just posted it to Youtube. It’s about how South Asian, Muslim, Arab and Sikh communities have been affected by post-9/11 laws and attitudes; we hit four different cities and interviewed something like 17 people from as many organizations. I talked to DRUM’s Monami Maulik again in April for a Colorlines piece about the end of NSEERS, a jaw-droppingly racist program that led to mass deportations and the economic collapse of a lot of Arab and South Asian neighborhoods.

My big takeaway from working on this project (which shouldn’t have been that surprising, but you know) is how similarly the system works in any community of color, in Queens and in Bushwick and in Chinatown and in Arizona and in Navajo Nation. I know, intellectually, that the government’s racially biased immigration/anti-terror/stop-and-frisk laws laws are keeping communities of color poor, and it’s that poverty keeps them vulnerable to such laws. But realizing how this is happening with literally every non-white group in America, without exception, was an oh-shit-duh moment that I value.
