How do you react when you meet someone from places like #Cleveland or #Buffalo? Or maybe you're from there yourself? You might enjoy my short essay at the Cleveland Plain Dealer titled "Prejudging Parts of America--Don't Be a (Knee) Jerk." Feel free to share! #Midwest
@aubreyhirsch.bsky.social Just a note to say it was nice meeting you after your talk at Inkubator and I learned a lot from reading Graphic Rage (especially the "history of witches" section). Will be sharing with my wife and two daughters as well.

@vinceguerrieri.com I enjoyed your historical article in the Sept. @clevelandmag.bsky.social about the 1986 balloon release! Quite a story. (I grew up in Niagara Falls, NY, and didn't move to the Cleveland area until 2001.)
