I'm a cartoonist living in Minneapolis. Co-Author and artist of A Quick And Easy Guide To They/Them Pronouns. Author of Grease Bats, coming out Fall 2019 with Boom! Studios! If I'm not working I'm socializing. If I'm not out with friends I'm drawing. If I'm not doing any of those things I'm probably depressed. Support me using Patreon.

    • I figured not everyone would know what it stands for, but now don’t you just wanna spray paint it on the police station? Or a small A.C.A.B. tattoo on one of your fingers? Or a A.C.A.B. patch on your jean jacket?!

    • I know what it means but it always takes me 5 minutes to sort it out because my brain interprets it as “assigned cop at birth”. Always. Like no brain, that’s not it.

      • When I witness police harassment I make an ACAB patch using a cross stitch alphabet where each letter is made out of cats.

        I made a lot last year and expect to do the same again this year.

  1. I have the same conflict Taylor! Though I’m more of a resistance through creativity and administration person rather than through graphs and research :P

  2. THANK YOU this made me feel so much better! I get horribly overwhelmed around large crowds and all that, but incidentally I am doing almost exactly this and making a website index of important resources around my city/campus (or, trying. research I can do, fighting with wordpress themes is not so easy)

  3. This is wonderful! I attended a counter-protest at Planned Parenthood today (over 250 people showed up, and in a very conservative town/state! only about 10 for the true “protest”) and there was a bake sale component. So many delicious goodies with the money going toward a great cause! I like protests, personally, because it’s easy to forget how many like-minded people there are in my city & protests bring lots of them together all to one place. I totally get that some people aren’t down with them, though, and think it’s great to remind people that there are COUNTLESS ways to become involved with the resistance!
