Today in Labor History November 6, 1968: Students at San Francisco State College went on strike, leading to what would become the longest student strike in U.S. history. The strike was led by the Black Student Union and a coalition of other student groups (including Indigenous, Hispanic, Philippine, and Asian students) known as the Third World Liberation Front. The Black Panthers and Students for a Democratic Society were also involved. The strike lasted until March 20, 1969. Throughout the strike, activists were violently attacked by the San Francisco Police. The activists were demanding equal access to public higher education, more senior faculty of color, an end to ROTC, and a new curriculum that would embrace the history and culture of all people including ethnic minorities. One of their victories was the creation of the College of Ethnic Studies in 1969, inspiring similar programs at hundreds of other universities.
Today, Sameer Verma and I met at a mall near San Francisco State University (SFSU). We talked about OLPC and Sugar. We also talked about Jazz, Country, and Hindustani music while listening to The Headhunters.
These two students at #sfsu spoke with Sonali Kolhatker via Yes! media #RisingUpWithSonali about their campus encampment in solidarity with Gaza and to #divest the CSU system from military operations with #IDF https://risingupwithsonali.com/report-from-sfsus-free-gaza-encampment/
Glad to see the #CFA picket line hopping at #SFSU even at the end of the day— great energy and turnout #unionpower #AcademicMastodon #unionstrong

#introductions I’m an #artist & #cartoonist working on a collection of short stories that will go together as a #GraphicMemoir. My work has #memoir and #surrealism, makes use of comics’ talky-ness & symbolism. Comics are #interdisciplinary. I’ve taught #GraphicMemoir #QueerComics #WomensUndergroundComics #MakingComics as a lecturer at #SFSU. I earn a living as a #GraphicDesigner. Committed to multiplicity & complexity. Love the vast possibilities of play & storytelling with the comics medium.
I see @nsousanis has announced on Birdsite that #SFSU will be launching a certificate program in nonfiction comics making! Should play well with courses at my old college, DVC. https://liberalstudies.sfsu.edu/minor-or-certificate-comic-studies

In the good news department, my Queer Comics class will be running this Fall at #SFSU (if it gets enough registrants--let your people know!)
The class is a mix of readings (historical & contemporary), analysis, and making.
I didn't expect to get to teach again so soon (after all the cuts).
Go #QueerComics!
exceptional workers i've met that have to work 2+ jobs to feed/house themselves in the #BayArea:
- wildly popular illustrator/graphic novelist, lecturer at #SFAI
- lifetime labor organizer, professor at #SFSU
- senior animator at #Pixar, animation industry mentor
meanwhile the workers i've met at #Blackrock, #Raytheon, #Meta, #a16z, etc. truly believe their work is important & that anyone can make a six- or seven-figure salary if they work hard enough. LOL
At one of my MFA cohort's, Ai Aida, opening of her play NEVER MIND! It's so exciting to support each other's playwriting careers after getting our degrees!
