PSA of the Day: My favorite comic artist of all time Joey Alison Sayers just released the first issue of her latest series “Just So You Know” — a collection of comics detailing the hilarious hardships she endured coming out as a transsexual and beginning to live her life as a woman.
You can read a few samples pages here, but you should do yourself a huge favor and just buy the damn thing because it really doesn’t get much better than this.

Well This Is Something You Don’t See Every Day of the Day: The San Francisco school district is using the likeness of Jimi Hendrix—the guy who is rumored to have kept an LSD tab under his bandanna so the acid would soak into his forehead as he played—on the cover of their new education guide.
From the San Francisco Chronicle:
The book also comes with a Hendrix poster and Hendrix-emblazoned canvas bag, which were handed out to a couple hundred administrators at Superintendent Carlos Garcia’s back-to-school confab in September.
Not everyone, however, is in tune with the campaign, given that the songwriter-guitarist died after overdosing on prescription drugs and alcohol at the age of 27.
One school district employee, who asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation – but who described himself as a “liberal hippie educator who experienced the Summer of Love in San Francisco” – said he was disturbed that the Hendrix poster is popping up on school campuses.
When asked about the unusual mascot, Garcia responded: “Hey — we’re in San Francisco.”
