#BeerGirl is a new lifestyle #beer brand out of California, featuring low-alcohol, gluten-reduced, zero-sugar lagers, designed as a “lighter, more balanced alternative to traditional beer” for people who enjoy beer but not the feeling of heaviness or bloat that can accompany it. I recently received cans of the current beers to review, Amber Lager and Lighter Lager, both 3.5% ABV.

Yeti Imperial Stout from #GreatDivideBrewing is one of the classics of the style, first released over 20 years ago, and is part of the brewery’s core lineup (somewhat unusual as many breweries opt to release these as specialties or limited editions).

Over the past decade-plus or so, Great Divide has also been releasing special variants, and recently I received one in a flavor I didn’t know existed until that moment—Blueberry Muffin Yeti.

Portland’s #VonEbertBrewing is an award-winning brewery with a lineup spanning a range of styles, with a strong emphasis on IPA. For 2026 the company introduced a new core beer to the year-round offerings, Reverse Math West Coast IPA, a modern take on the style.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

I still haven't made it to Black history. I'm close! But I'm still on white US history. It's everywhere!

Q: Why does it seem like Black folk don't contribute much to society or science or history? Most inventions are from Europeans? Why does it seem this way? Don't cancel me!

A: Racism. The lie of white supremacy requires that we pretend that white men are the only people that ever invented anything or contributed to society.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

I'm still not up to Black History! I'm still working through white US history. Bear with me! Almost there!

Q: Why does it seem like everything has to be woke now? Even our scientists?! It never used to be that way! Why does it seem like these days, even higher education has to think about race, when it didn't before?

A: Higher education, including STEM, did think about race before. That history has just been hidden from you. Because racism.

#FirestoneWalkerBrewing is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026, and (presumably) to kick of the celebration, the brewery recently sent me a number of beers to review, including the revamped IPA Mixed Pack and a six-pack of its original #beer Double Barrel Ale, which was the first beer released back in 1996.

I'm going to keep sharing this info until it sinks in.

Young voters do not get significantly more or less politically activated. Voter suppression gets more or less effective. Ballot drop boxes and mail-in voting, prevents suppression.

People do not become more conservative as they get older. There is not an increasing difference between white GOP and Dem voters as they get older.

Black people don't live long, and many brown voters aren't born yet.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

I haven't made it to Black History yet. I'm still on white US history.

Q: Enough about racism for a second. Take a break! I'm worried about gender issues in the US too. For example, why is the gender pay gap in the US so large? It's one of the worst in the OECD!

A: You know why. Racism! In the US, the pay gap between white men and white women, is smaller than the pay gap between white women and Black and Latinx women.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

I'm still not onto Black history. I'm still on white US history.

Q: Why were Black folk so happy when OJ was acquitted? To be honest, it feels disgusting. Why does it seem like you're happy he got away with murder?

A: Racism. Black folk did not like OJ that much. In fact, many Black people think he did it. Black folk didn't "celebrate OJ." Black folk celebrated the hope that a brutally unjust, evil, and racist system, could be defeated at all.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

I will get to Black history. For now, I'm still on white US history.

Q: Why is so much Black music about violence and misogyny? I'm not racist, but I think Black culture is just more violent. Why does it seem that way?

A: Racism. Rap, trap, and drill, are only the most popular genres of Black music listened to *by white people.* The most popular among Black folk is R&B, almost 2X as popular. Violent rap is mostly for y'all.🤷🏿‍♂️

In the last month I have drawn 15 memorial portraits for those killed by ICE— Just short of halfway through the list for 2025. Really feeling the enormity of this project.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

I still haven't made it to Black history. Still on white US history.

Q: Why does it seem like so much of the anti-Asian hate that I see on TV and in newspapers is done by Black people? It seems like Asian folk should be legitimately afraid of Black people! Why does it seem that way?

A: Racism. Most Asian hate attacks are done by white folk. Asian folk are significantly safer from Asian hate, when they are around Black folk.🙂🙃

Newspapers lied on us.
