just started rewatching ugly betty bc i had read some v excellent betty/daniel fic i thought recently but i guess it was a couple years ago lol, i just couldn’t follow everything, because i didn’t remember all the characters/plots that well ANYWAY from what i remember idt i really thought of betty/daniel romantically until the end of the series, i remember liking her with henry before he became a shit (at least i’m pretty sure that’s what happened, i haven’t watched since this show since it ended 13 years ago) but other than that there’s not TOO much that sticks with me, i just know i loved the ending but ofc was left wanting more at the time but ya while i think i was reading fic on ff.net in 2010 there were only a few things i would’ve been searching for at that point SO once i get through the series i’m gonna have so much fun bc i read 3 fics from that author and they’ve published like 12 more stories this year and i’m gonna be able to understand them so much better, but yeah just now rewatching the pilot i’m like oh my god how did i not immediately love them i mean obviously daniel was a dick but he apologized and at the end of the ep he’s watching her fondly and i’m just ahhhh over them already bc i know the romantic aspect aside there’s such excellent growth in them and their relationship and i can’t wait to watch it play out
#ik there will be the storylines i DON'T love and ofc rebecca romijn playing a trans woman#and i'm sure loads of transphobia in her storyline itself#but yeah like i remember the characters fondly and everything but so much is of course gone from my head#also obvs it at least got a proper finale which is something but i wonder if it would've gone longer if not for the writers strike#i need to add all the things i watched in that period of time to my watchlist bc there's a lot i loved#and some i drifted away from bc that was in the time where like you had to watch it live#and were lucky to catch the episode repeating later#so like i stopped watching bones and heroes and supernatural (actually not sure i got past season 1 of supernatural at the time#though...i should not have been watching that at 10 probably lol and ofc i later watched it through in college then stopped again#so. i still have to actually finish that eventually)#and then pushing daisies i THINK i watched all of#but i remember they had like the last few episodes air after ages and ages or something and i'm not sure i got to watch them#once it got to like 2009/2010 i was able to watch stuff online though all i remember is starting glee from the beginning a little bit late#maybe still in season 1 just the first episodes idk but it was only 72 minutes at a time and it was the WOOOORST#love having everything at my fingertips now lol for the most part anyway#but yeah other than like one tree hill and gg and charmed most things from the mid-2000s i have not watched since then so#i gotta think of what else there is bc much as i love it i do not actually need to rewatch gg every year

Why I’m thankful for Yuri on Ice:
So according to my dash today is the one year anniversary of the first episode of Yuri on Ice airing. Even though I didn’t get into the fandom until right before episode 8 aired, I wanted to say something about it and what the series has meant to me on my own blog.
To join the chorus of people who have already said it, I am so thankful for this series.
And holy shit on a triscuit this got long winded so I’m going to spare your dashes with a cut.
Back in 2009 I had the worst year of my life.
One of my best friends (one of the kind you think will be around forever) threw me under the bus for her own financial gain and then insulted me and blamed me for her actions, I had a health crisis that almost ended my career and ability to take care of myself (I was thankfully able to work and take care of myself again but it did leave me with permanent nerve damage and the chronic pain that comes with such things), plus a seemingly unending string of which-deity-did-I-piss-off problems and hurdles in life happened until it all culminated in my older sister Angeline passing away from cancer in January of 2010. By the time that happened I was in the depths of depression after having absolutely no mental health problems at all before then. Bree refers to this time as my “Dark Days” and I’ve adopted the name, too.
My Dark Days lasted for almost 7 years. I basically lost most of my 20s to it, and in that time I completely stopped drawing for myself. I did professional work and that’s it. When I was younger I would go through a 500 sheet pack of printer paper in 2-3 months just drawing for myself, so to go from that down to absolute zero was huge. Besides that it was all the other typical symptoms of depression: sleeping constantly, losing interest in just about everything, and just existing instead of living. Being completely uninspired as an artist made me feel like my existence was pretty pointless. (I was never suicidal, though. Thankfully.)
I used to have a decently large following online before then, too, first in the Harry Potter fandom and then in Inuyasha, back when LiveJournal and deviantART were the main hubs for fandom activity. I was really active, I had a little group of people who I regularly interacted with on both sites, and I enjoyed the hell out of it. That’s where my life was, basically. I dropped off the face of the digital earth during my Dark Days, though. All of my accounts just about everywhere went completely dead.
I started getting better little by little starting in the spring of 2016, I came off my antidepressants, and my dad helped me remodel the bedroom across the hall from mine from a junk room into my studio. I was doing better, but I still wasn’t drawing for myself and I was rarely online.
After the hell of the 2016 Presidential election I started getting politically active on twitter. One of the side effects of suddenly being on twitter a lot was seeing a couple of the people I knew back in the day from the Inuyasha fandom constantly tweeting about this new anime, and once I found out it was an anime about figure skating (a sport I’ve loved watching on TV since I was a kid) I knew I had to give it a try.
I am so thankful that I did.
Yuri on Ice pulled me the rest of the way out of my Dark Days and got me to a point where I was actually starting to feel like the person I was before 2009; the person I was pretty fond of. It sucked me into a fandom again (and my tumblr which had been dead for about five years), and it was wonderful being in a fandom that wasn’t dead and had actual new content coming out constantly. I made new friends, too, which is something that is very difficult for me. I have a lot of trust issues due to people hurting me in the past, but I’ve met some wonderful people here.
My blog has grown a lot, too. When I came back from the tumblr graveyard my blog had about 120 followers that were mostly dead blogs that were leftover from the Inuyasha fandom, and as of today I have just over 900. I’m hoping to hit 1000 by the end of the year, and that’s amazing to me. I appreciate each and every one of my followers whether you interact with me on a regular basis or not (and those of you who do reblog, tag, and/or comment regularly? I see you, you’re amazing, and thank you so much).
Most importantly, though, YoI made me start drawing for myself again. I was putting out fan content again, I was inspired again. I'm still getting ideas faster than I can finish them (so many unfinished things...).
It feels so good to be inspired again!
I feel like I have purpose now even if it's just fandom stuff. I’m talking, I’m creating, I’m happy. Not long after I came into the fandom there was a gifset that came through my dash that spoke to me because it said “I am going to take control over my life and you are going to watch me live again.” and that was exactly how I felt about my own life at that point. (And perhaps that’s part of why I relate to Yuuri so much as a character.)
It’s been a year and a half now since I stopped taking my antidepressants and while I still have days here and there where I feel a little “meh” about my work and life in general, overall I feel good. I hold YoI and the YoI fandom responsible for not only pulling me the rest of the way out of my Dark Days but keeping me out of them, because I know it’s all too easy to slip back down again. Now I can watch my favorite episodes, read my favorite fics, look at my favorite art by other people, and talk to my friends to help myself cope and keep myself above water, and I’ll be forever grateful to YoI for that.
So thank you Kubo, Yamamoto, and everyone at MAPPA for making Yuri on Ice. It’s been a lifesaver for me and I will always appreciate all the love that went into it and to all of us in the fandom by proxy. You all have no idea how many people you have helped.
#god that was long#sorry#yoi#yuri on ice#personal shit#depression#i am a big fat artist#shut up kris

Luca Barcellona: Take Your Pleasure Seriously
On a tiny screen in the palm of your hand, an ink-stained hand wielding a white paintbrush slips and darts across a bright red page. It leaves its trace like a figure skater on ice; the shapes look abstract – a thin curve here, a thick line there – but the hand moves with deliberate, authoritative grace. After four and a half hypnotic minutes of this dance, there’s the much anticipated reveal: “Take Your Pleasure Seriously” the strokes demand.
This is the ethos of Italian calligrapher and graphic designer Luca Barcellona, the craftsman to whom the hand in this video belongs. Barcellona, 39, is regularly hailed as one of the world’s greatest working calligraphers. Combining his monkish commitment to the craft with an inventive, youthful sensibility, Barcellona’s contemporary interpretation of hand lettering has coincided with a major resurgence of calligraphy in visual culture. Eager for a humanizing touch, the current proponents of the lettering craze are infatuated with process: Videos of artists in action permeate the web, and no design conference is complete without time marked by the slow production of a handmade typographic mural.
Barcellona recognized, and perhaps even helped inspire, this early on in his career, organizing live shows in clubs in Milan in the early 2000s, later going on to do similar events for galleries, museums, and globally renowned brands. In 2009, he faithfully reproduced a large-scale 1569 globe with quill and natural inks for the National Museum of Zurich, and in 2010, he produced his own T-shirt line, a brand he dubbed “Luca Barcellona Gold Series.” His script now adorns everything form Absolut Vodka bottles to Carhartt sweatshirts, and his signature, tightly packed compositions, often dense webs of Fraktur script, spell out phrases by the German poet Bertolt Brecht.
In the beginning, Barcellona began lettering by skipping class to tag subway trains and graffiti under bridges. After graduating from high school, where he’d taken classes in graphic design, Barcellona enrolled in night courses and took a job at a music store. Using his time off to patiently practice calligraphy, he soon started taking on small commissions from the hip-hop scene.
Demand for his work grew, as did his encyclopedic knowledge of classic scripts, until one day he swapped the quill for a spray can, rendering the age-old letters he’d mastered with the tool of his teenage years. This pivotal moment defined what would become his trademark: gothic and classic lettering that elegantly and energetically incorporates the influence of graffiti and street art. He didn’t so much slip into the past as find calligraphy a present form.
Your 2012 monograph has just been released in paperback, and, as with the first edition, it’s got this fiery front cover. You’ve written out the name of the title in a very elegant hand, but then the composition is punctuated by a black ink dot that almost looks like a bullet hole. What’s the significance of this?
To explain, I need to start with the story of why I decided to make the book in the first place. I had all this stuff in my drawers and on my hard drive, stuff that I’d amounted over 10 years of working. I myself had studied calligraphy by looking at books – I love books—so I knew that was the format that all the stuff I’d collected would take. It wasn’t just a marketing thing for me; it was about closing the circle. I realized, though, that I couldn’t choose the work myself. When a designer speaks about their old work, you’ll notice that they will always say, “But that’s an old piece. That’s old. Look at what I’m doing right now.”
You want to be growing, getting to another level, constantly developing, instead of being in stasis and getting comfortable doing the same thing over and over again.
LB Exactly. So I asked my friend, the graphic designer Massimo Pitis, to art direct and design the book for me – he and his team at WIRED Italia have just won Best Magazine of the Year at the 2017 Society of Publication Design awards. So I said, “Massimo, this is all my work. You have a different eye from mine, a different critical eye, so please choose what I should include.”
And the cover?
I created the initial hand lettering for the book jacket and he said, “If you leave it like that, it looks like a calligraphy book from 80 years ago. Add an ink drop.” That drop would represent my past in graffiti. It was about dirty hands and dirty clothes. Massimo said, “It’s the symbol of imperfection that we want.”
What about the slogan “Take Your Pleasure Seriously?” What does that mean to you?
At first I was thinking of calling the book Man of Letters, but it was too much of a pun. I had just read a book on Charles and Ray Eames and I’d seen the sentence there. I admire their work a lot. They were married, so living, playing, and working together, and in every picture they seemed happy, having fun while blurring work and life. To take your pleasure seriously means, okay, you have a passion, but it’s a serious one. Calligraphers have to have passion. But it’s also a job, and there are many elements that you won’t enjoy doing. You have clients. You have deadlines. You’re probably not inspired by the work every time, but you need jobs, work, income, as a craftsman. And you take that seriously.
How much of a blur is there between work and life for you?
I don’t have anything about calligraphy at home. I have comics, books on photography and architecture, a lot of vinyl. But nothing actually about calligraphy. Yet calligraphy is always on my mind. Every time I watch a movie, I see the titles. When I drink a bottle of wine, I see the packaging. I look at the letters.
So there’s a spatial divide between work (your income) and life, but no divide between your craft (you as calligrapher) and life?
Exactly. My studio is not in my house. I have to be able to say, “That’s the job, and this is life.” I don’t want to be a maniac either…You know what I mean.
There are typo maniacs, typo nerds, and that’s not who I want to be.
You just spoke about noticing the letters of everything around you. When did you first start noticing type?
When I was a kid, five or six years old. I used to play a game with my mother. We’d be in the car and she’d ask me to read the signs. I started to notice that every sign was different, and I began to ask, “Who did that?” My mother couldn’t give me the answer. I thought, “That’s what I want to do.”
Then when you got a bit older, you got into graffiti.
When I was 14. I started taking graphic design classes at high school. I started doing tags like so many others in the early 90’s. When you’re a teenager, you’re obsessed by shocking people, so I was creating letters to amaze others. Then I discovered calligraphy in graphic design class, and I said, “This is something serious. I have to go back to the beginning, study the ancient forms, Roman capitals, italic, etc.” I started doing serious calligraphy. Later, once I had the tools and had mastered the classics, I would start to mix it up a bit and combine what I’d learned with graffiti.
You were teaching yourself about calligraphy?
At the beginning, most people are self-taught. But that’s a huge mistake. I studied Italic with one teacher in a workshop and I realized this: Calligraphy is something that gets passed down by masters. It has to be handed down, from a master to a student, until that student becomes a master. It’s about sharing knowledge, not keeping your tricks and secrets to yourself. That’s the beauty of crafts, not just calligraphy. I know musicians and karate masters who say the same.
When you started studying, everything was analog, and by the time you finished, design schools were using computers. How did this affect you?
I knew that I wanted to draw. I wanted to take pencils, markers, and brushes. As a graphic designer, I worked with type and layout settings on the computer. But as a calligrapher, I wanted to get my hands dirty.
You started posting videos of your craft very early on. How did that start?
When I uploaded my first video, there was nothing to compare it with. I had only seen videos of calligraphers from the 60’s and there were very few of those. We now look at videos on our phones all the time, but in 2002, it wasn’t like that. I made a couple of videos that got a lot of views, and other people started doing the same; everyone was copying one another and getting inspired by one another.
Now there are so many calligraphy videos online. They’re hypnotizing to watch; some get thousands and thousands of views. What do you think about it?
There’s a problem when people only get their information from the internet. It’s like television in the 80’s and 90’s: What’s not on the web, for many, doesn’t exist. This means that people completely ignore the fact that there are older generations of calligraphers and a long, ancient history of the craft. They’re all focused on the young people on social networks that put their stuff online, but a lot of the quality is very, very low. The numbers are impressive, and it’s good from the perspective of allowing people who might not know anything about calligraphy to begin to appreciate it.
As a calligrapher, you have to know what you are doing, though. You have to know that you are a speck in the history of the craft. I am nobody in the history of calligraphy. Compare what I do to the work of the 15th century and you’ll see what I mean – that stuff is amazing; it’s incredible. What I can do is mix things up a bit, add to the history by using contemporary tools. I try to make calligraphy that has a bit of current reality. I’ve done it with live projections and used 3-D software.
It’s about using those new tools, but with the ancient gestures. You have to know it to be able to do it. The untrained eye can’t tell what’s authentic and what’s not. If you don’t know the history, then you might believe that the guy who puts up a video on Instagram is the best calligrapher in the world, just because someone in the comment section says so.
Whether the videos are amateur or not, why do you think people love seeing the act of calligraphy rather than just a piece of calligraphy in its finished form?
That’s simple. For the last 15 years, we’ve become accustomed to the idea that writing is just pushing buttons. Pushing keys. Yet handwriting has been one of the major inventions of human history. After 15 years of tech, we are losing it.
So the process of watching the process of calligraphy is an antidote?
Yes. I’m not saying we should write our emails in Gothic, with a nib and pot of ink. When I was trying to take calligraphy classes in the 90’s, design schools were trying to eliminate it. They were saying, Who needs lettering today? Now I’m teaching workshops on calligraphy all the time in Italy.
How does technology feature into your day-to-day practice, though? It’s not all quill and ink, and, as you say, you use old gestures and combine them with new tools.
Software can be great for simulating, like how you can put a drop of watercolor on the page and it’ll bleed in a beautiful way. But digital tools that simulate something analog only make sense if you can do the real thing. If you’ve never used real watercolor, how can you really understand its simulation? It’s like virtual sex. You can experiment with virtual sex, but if you don’t know the real thing, you’re missing out.
We’ve talked about your career path and sense of design, but not the words and messages you illustrate. You’ve quoted George Orwell. You’ve written out messages of support for things like the 2011 earthquake in Japan. What do you look for when you’re thinking about quotes or slogans to write out?
There are two options when you look for a message. The first is you can find nice, pretty sentences that people are going to like. The second is you can write something that you really feel and believe. Maybe a quote from a book, or a song you love. For me, it must be the second option; it must be something that has helped me in my life.
With the Orwell composition, the quote found me. I walked into an international bookstore and the spine of Why I Write, Orwell’s essay about political language, was sticking right out from the shelf. I didn’t search for it. I believe in serendipity.
For the Japan illustration, I saw the heartbreak after the earthquake; I had close friends there. I decided to design a T-shirt to raise money for relief. I wrote the slogan with a Japanese brush, very quickly, to denote emergency. There aren’t any classic decorations; it’s fast and urgent. You must find the right way to illustrate your message.
Because of its urgency, it’s very readable. That’s not your usual tact though, especially for personal work. Often you write out words not only in an archaic script that’s difficult for modern eyes to decipher, but you pack the letters very close together, making the composition even more tricky to unpick and read. For your political messages, this has interesting implications because the viewer has to focus and spends a lot of time with the message. And that time might mean that the message sinks in. What are the other benefits of illegibility?
Legibility can be your enemy because it means you have to add space, and you lose the beauty of a compact design. Density is one of my obsessions. Sometimes I just draw the alphabet or a series of capital letters because I don’t want people to read what’s written. I want them to enjoy the shapes, the gestures. Sometimes people ask me, “What did you write there?” and I answer “Nothing.” I always love that.
Creating a piece of calligraphy, especially these dense ones that take a lot of concentration, and mastering the craft as a whole, is of course exhausting. It takes a lot of patience. It can take three years of continual practice to perfect just one classic script. How do you deal with the everyday physical toll?
I should.
You don’t?
I try to. Like right now, my back is aching; there’s a lot of tension built up. It’s a very physical practice, and to do it, you have to know your body. If you want to write something with a small nib copperplate but you’re pissed off, stressed, or you drank too much coffee, you’ll shake and won’t be able to do it. It takes calm. You have to physically prepare.
When I hear this, it conjures the stereotypical image of the master calligrapher, hunched over scrolls with reams of paper and inky fingers, painstakingly illuminating characters. You do this of course, but you’re also a jack-of-all-trades in other ways. You’re an entrepreneur, because you help run a publishing company, Lazy Dog Press, that brought out your monograph. You organize exhibitions. You’ve run your T-shirt label. You’re not always bent over your desk.
Calligraphy is my discipline, but with this discipline I can do many things. I’ve done performances with piano players and karate masters. I’ve done restoration work, and I’ve worked in advertising, doing crazy hand lettering to sell a car. I’ve made clothing designs for Nike. Recently, I’ve been combining my love of record collecting with calligraphy. If you specialize in one field and there is an interest in it, then it’s great. When that interest slows down, it’s more of a problem. Yet I do believe that if you’re passionate about something, then people will be interested. That’s why I write “Take Your Pleasure Seriously.” People can tell whether what you do is true, whether you’re sincere.

Scraping the Courts
Uncensored government records are tough to get and our local agencies make it no easier. Unlike the Federal Government, where they’ve been releasing useful information for years, the City of Austin just got into the Open Data game.
At the end of 2011, they revamped their site and included their own online public information section, data.austintexas.gov. There are little quotes plastered on it about being dedicated to “Open Government” and “transparency, efficiency, and collaboration.”
The site holds totally random records from various city agencies. You can find stuff like a restaurant inspection scores database, a chart of popular crimes, a list of places where tickets were written, and even a map of “declared dangerous dogs.”
I looked for Austin Police Department arrest data and found it. I was surprised. But when I actually browsed the records, I saw they left out everything useful – there were no details about who was arrested, so I couldn’t analyze it. I dug further and saw the APD also has some transparency tools on their website. One called CrimeViewer sounded like something I’d want to use, but it turned out to be pretty lame. This tool just shows a map with little icons drawn on it that represent where crimes happened and is even less useful for picking apart.
What about the courts? I know that court records are supposed to be public information, but does the County publish them freely? No. The Open Data website was City-only and the County seemed to be even further behind using the internet.
Neither the City or the County published useful information that someone could actually use to see where people are arrested, who they are, and what happens to them once they’re booked. I filed some open records requests with the City and the County to find out how many people were arrested in the past year and a half and how often they got bailed out. Technically, they had ten days to either give me access to the information or to tell me why they couldn’t. (Twenty if the request took a lot of programming, which mine didn’t.) But almost two months later, after nagging e-mails and calls, and still no arrest records, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
I found something called the APD Incident Reports Database where you enter a date and it prints out the police reports filed. I figured out that I could write a program to automatically download all the police reports for the past year and a half, the furthest back they allow, and enter them into a database. Compared to the arrest information on the City’s Open Data website, this information was totally raw and unfiltered.
Caption: APD arrests between May 2011 and Nov 2012. These arrests were gathered from the APD Incident Database, geocoded, and plotted here. The larger the circle, the more arrests happened at that address. The colors represent different races/ethnicities being arrested — green: Hispanic, red: White, blue: Black.
I found something similar on the Travis County Clerk’s website that I could use – a misdemeanor court search tool. I wrote a computer program that went through them, by offense date, and collected everything I could. Within a few hours I’d downloaded over six years of criminal history.
The City’s Open Data turned out to be useless. Travis County made it so you couldn’t get court case info without serious computer skills. Going through normal channels (public information officers) was taking forever. But this didn’t stop me from being able to hack together a big-picture view of how people move through our local criminal processing machine from arrest to sentencing.
Step One: Arrest
This is where it all begins and it doesn’t work the same for everyone. Between May 2011 and November 2012, I logged 75,692 arrests. This was every arrest reported by the APD in the past year and a half.
According to the city’s eventual response to my open records request, the Black arrest rate during this time span was over four times higher than Whites’ and almost three times higher than Hispanics’. Whatever the reason, the Austin Police Department was arresting Blacks way more often than anyone else.
When I built a crime map using the gathered APD data, a few areas stood out: Downtown, grocery stores, and the 12^th^ and Chicon corner.
Downtown dominated the map, in general. About 11% of all APD arrests happened around 6^th^ Street. Drinking type-crimes ruled. Public intoxication was the number-one single charge. Warrant arrests were the second most common followed by DWI, sitting/lying on sidewalk, urinating in public, possession of marijuana, and violating misc. city ordinances. As a city, we’re spending a shit load of money to let all these people get fucked up downtown. Is it worth it?
Grocery stores turned out to be a huge generator of arrests. The single address with the most arrests was a Wal-Mart Supercenter on Norwood Park Blvd., just northeast of where I-35 and 183 meet. Over 900 people were arrested at this store alone. The Riverside HEB was also on the top-five list of arrest addresses. Mostly everyone was arrested for theft and a lot of them got possession charges tacked on. But we can’t talk about possession arrests without mentioning our next spot on the map.
The few blocks surrounding 12^th^ and Chicon are notorious for prostitution, drugs, and violence, but the arrest reality shows more of a disaster-type situation. Police are arresting people for anything possible and they’re arresting mostly Blacks. You can get a sense of activity on the corner by reading through the list of common charges: possession of drug paraphernalia, warrant, possession of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance or narcotic, violation of a city ordinance, pedestrian in the roadway, driving while license invalid, blasting car stereos, and drinking in public. The police made 902 arrests (again, mostly Black) in the 18 months of Incident Reports, and none of them seem to be helping.
Over half of these arrests were of the same person more than once. One guy got arrested 19 times in those 18 months – all on that block. What the hell is going on in a system where people are being arrested over and over, and then getting busted in the exact same place again? People have been calling for stricter sentences for violent crimes in this area, but if you actually look at what people are being arrested for, it’s nonviolent crimes.
It’s not pretty when you’re driving by randomly and see two thugs slugging it out in the middle of the street and homeless-looking folks watching from the sidewalks. But if low-level arrests haven’t been the solution here in the past, why would we think more would be the answer of the future?
Policies like throwing more time at people arrested in these areas are going to hurt more minorities, and stack the odds of being arrested against them even more. It’s not like Whites aren’t buying cocaine, heroin, and weed. They’re just not doing it on 12^th^ and Chicon and they’re not getting caught, booked, and jailed as often for it.
Step Two: Booking and Pre-Trial Release
Once you’re arrested, you’re brought down to the jail and you sit there. You have three options for getting out. Sometimes a cash bond will be set – this is the amount of money you need to pay as collateral for you showing up to court. If you show up, you’ll get your money back. If you don’t, they keep it and put out a warrant for your arrest. You can also pay a bondsman to bail you out. This is called a surety bond. The bondsman will pay your cash bond for you, but will charge you a percent of it. If you don’t show up, they will come after you because it’s their money at stake. But in Travis County, personal bonds, where your word is your collateral, are by far the most common.
Travis County Pretrial Services is in charge of overseeing the whole process of letting people out of jail before their trials (called pretrial release, bonding/bailed out, etc.). They publish a little information on their website about how often people are screened and granted a personal bond. But it’s useless to me because it’s not broken down at all.
Luckily the Travis County Clerk’s Misdemeanor Court database holds bond information. According to this data, White defendants got any form of bond the most often (65% of the time) followed by Hispanics (63%) and Blacks (56%).
So minority defendants, especially Black ones, don’t get a pretrial release as often as Whites. But why is this? Pretrial Release is an inexact science. Basically a lot of guesswork goes into figuring out whether or not a defendant will show up for their court date. The County never really knows if someone is going to jump bond, so they look at things like prior criminal history as an indicator.
The APD arrest data shows that minorities, Blacks especially, are arrested way more often than Whites. If prior record is a major deciding factor of whether or not someone gets a pretrial release, it makes sense that Blacks get out the least. Not only is jailing someone before their trial basically punishment of the innocent, but this also has a huge impact down the line. People who get out of jail before their court dates get better case outcomes.
Visualization: Average Sentence length by Crime & Race
This chart is based on information downloaded from the Travis County Misdemeanor Court’s case search tool. The bars represent how much time, on average, someone from each race was sentenced for each crime. The averages were calculated for all cases with offense dates starting on January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2011. Active cases weren’t included here. Click on the dates below to see a breakdown for that particular year.
2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2006-2011
Step Three: Sentencing
Sentencing is the symbol of our entire system. We’re all technically equals, so we should see similar sentences. This isn’t the case, though. When I tallied up the jail time averages by race and ethnicity, Blacks and Hispanics got more time in jail, overall, between 2006 and 2012.
In the 202,446 misdemeanor cases I’d downloaded from the court’s website, Whites got an average sentence of 15.2 days, Hispanics got 22.1, and Blacks got 21.4. My initial thought was “are judges just sentencing unfairly?”
These numbers included all punishments, jail or not. In other words, if one group got more probation/dismissals instead of jail than other groups, then that group would have a lower average sentence length. When I accounted only for cases where jail time was handed out, the differences evened out and all groups got almost exactly the same punishments.
This confused me, so I contacted as many law firms as I could for answers. What was the cause of this racial disparity? What am I overlooking? Nobody really wanted to talk about these questions publicly, but I did manage to find a few who would, as long as I kept their names anonymous.
These lawyers didn’t think race was a factor in sentencing. They thought this for a couple reasons, one being their personal experience. They just didn’t see judges sentencing based on race. The second reason being that at this low of a level in the courts, the cases mostly end in an agreement between the defense and the prosecution. The judge just signs off on agreements and pushes cases along.
In my experience, this is how most minor crimes go down in court. When I was in trouble, I showed up to my date and found a room packed full of other people who’d done even dumber stuff than I did. I talked to the prosecutor, who’d probably had five seconds to look through my case. She offered me a lesser charge, a small fine, and a few months of probation. She explained that while the judge technically could sentence me more, most of the time he just OKs the agreements … just be respectful. She was right. The judge gave me a lecture and signed off on our little agreement. I watched that same thing happen to fifty people before me.
I don’t know why the prosecutor chose to deal with me in the way she did. I mean, logically, it makes no sense to “throw the book” at someone with little criminal history, but her reasoning was totally in the dark. Even if I wanted to find out how she came up with the fine and probation, there’d be no way for me to do it.
I analyzed all the misdemeanor cases by outcome and saw that the lawyers were right. The largest group of cases ended in a “no contest” plea bargain. This is where the defendant agrees to a punishment without actually admitting guilt. This protects him or her from getting sued, but fucks the person’s life in almost exactly the same way as a guilty plea. The second most common outcome was dismissal. A lot of them were dismissed “pending further investigation” or “in the interest of justice,” but the reasons behind these identifiers are vague at best.
A lot of cases were ��12:45’d” which, after some digging, turns out to be a weird technicality for people who are charged with multiple crimes. Let’s say I was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and for evading the police. I could get one of them dropped by admitting guilt to it and having that guilt considered in the sentencing of the other charge.
Deferral was the third most popular outcome. These are usually an agreement by the prosecution and defense and usually involve doing rehab or taking classes. Probation, where you don’t go to jail as long as you stay out of trouble for a year or two, was the next most common case outcome. These seem better on the surface, but probation is usually time-consuming and very expensive. According to a lawyer friend, a lot of people prefer to do some time and have it be over with than spend the next few years paying huge fines and jumping through hoops.
Broken down by race and ethnicity, Black cases were most likely (48%) to end in jail or a fine. Hispanic cases ended in a punishment like this 42% of the time compared to Whites’ 35%. Blacks and Hispanics were both 6% less likely to get their cases dismissed than Whites. Deferral programs were given to White defendants between one and two percent more often than Blacks and Hispanics.
When I first collected the misdemeanor case data, I only collected information on closed cases. That worked well for all outcomes except for probation, where a case could still be open if someone jumped bail. So I went back to get all of the cases, closed or open, and noticed that a lot of the racial and ethnic fields in the data had been changed on the Travis County Clerk’s site. Cases where someone had been identified as Hispanic were suddenly changed to “Not-Specified.” I’m not sure why this is, but it screwed up my confidence in analyzing the probation ratios.
Either way, minorities are still getting shittier case outcomes. I’d love to dig further into why, but unfortunately there’s not a lot of paperwork to follow beyond this. If the judge isn’t influencing most of the cases, then it must be a combination of the prosecutor and defense. And while the judge is held to a lot of scrutiny, the prosecutor is not. In cases like this, there are hardly any details to follow.
Sometimes I wonder what would’ve happened if I’d shown up to my court date and called the prosecutor a piece of shit. Would I have ended up with a worse punishment just for being rude? Maybe she would’ve flat out refused to deal with me, told the judge what I did, and let him fuck me over. Is being polite an integral part of the justice system? If these are possibilities, then what’s stopping prosecutors from playing “hardball” with minorities or people they don’t like, maybe without even realizing it?

Race, Crime, and Information
The lawyers I talked to believed that poverty was a major player in the disparities here. According to a Health and Human Services study from 2011, 23% of both Blacks and Hispanics lived in poverty. Only 9% of Whites did. It was tempting to label this the cause of our racial and ethnic disparities, but then there’s the case of Asians who have a 14% poverty rate, but have an extremely low arrest rate and better case outcomes.
When I was writing this article, I’d talk about it with friends and coworkers. A lot of them had the same, fair questions. Are minorities committing more crime? Why? Or are police just picking on them?
Ever since men picked up criminal skulls and measured them for links to antisocial behavior, we’ve argued over why certain groups have different crime rates. And even though we laugh about bullshit like Phrenology now, over a hundred years later the same questions still haven’t been answered.
Research starting in the ‘60s focused on discovering what about minority groups caused crime. Early ideas focused on things like IQ and temperament, but these were thrown out. There was no evidence for that. Theories about inherent racial differences fell flat, too. Race – based mostly on skin tone – is a fucking awful indicator of almost anything. Any anthropologist will tell you that there’s as much if not more variation within races as there is between. Ideas about racial groups accepting violence weren’t consistent with findings that people from all races and social statuses tend to feel the same way about violence and crime. Nobody wants to be assaulted or robbed.
At the same time, researchers trying to find evidence for system-wide discrimination at the sentencing level also couldn’t find anything. The “No Discrimination Theory” is still in tact – there is no evidence of directly racial bias in our courts. But this doesn’t address the influence of indirectly racial factors like socioeconomic status or broken families (possibly due to the criminal justice system itself).
Overall, a lot of research is still needed to find the reasons why minorities get arrested and imprisoned so often. If there’s anything I’ve seen from just our local criminal justice system, it’s that every new bit of information brings up as many questions as it does answers.
While researching this article, I’ve seen minorities arrested more than Whites, minorities fighting cases from jail more often, minorities getting worse case outcomes and worse average punishments. I’ve been able to uncover how the system treats people, but not the reasons why. There are a lot hidden layers in the criminal justice system and many decisions made at each level. Beyond what I’ve dug up here, there doesn’t seem to be much of a paper trail to answer these questions further.
Figuring out how minority groups do in the criminal justice system has been the major question in criminology and sociology of the past 50 years. If our local government was serious about getting the important information out to us, they’d have released this arrest and court data long ago. It’s not like it would take a lot of work to do – the information already exists in an easy-to-publish format. I’ve already grabbed it.
Maybe next time they revamp their sites and throw around big ideas about openness and transparency, they could actually put work into making their bureaucracy more “open” and “transparent.” And not just with talk. I mean with actual uncensored data. That would show they give a fuck. Until that happens, all we get are some watered down lists, a ton of filler, and a bunch of bullshit quotes.

Growing Up Guide Pup: From Idea to Reality
Amie and I have learned so much over the last several years. We have matured a lot as puppy raisers, as well as learned an awful lot about the video business. Moreover, what it is going to take to make Growing Up Guide Pup viable long term. Still in the interum of progress, I felt the need to write a new blog on Growing Up Guide Pup as its been several months. As of how we got to where we are today. I hope our fans enjoy and thanks to all for your continued support.
Back in 2009, I was creating how-to videos released under my moniker “ChappyShowcase” which were videos about low budget film making. Although I released all kinds of videos in different genres, the how-to film making seemed to resonate more than any other types of videos I made. The economy had collapsed, video creators had no money, and low budget film making spoke to that. Consistently I found good feedback and people offering to pay me to make my “$30 Steadicam” for them; named after a how-to video of the same subject. I was not interested in doing this, but found it a pleasant experience to get so much feedback. It was amazing making a video rendition of a recycled design I had learned about nearly 7 years earlier back in the dial modem days of the internet. This single video got me more serious about doing more although I had already put out a few dozen videos scattered over a few months.
After a few years of freelancing as a cinematographer/editor, as well as producing an exhausting amount of wedding videos with my production company, I was deeply affected by the crash of my video business in late 2007. I lost nearly all my clients, however took the opportunity to look for other avenues to do video. I recently had read about sites like Youtube, Metacafe, Revver, and Crackle in Videomaker Magazine. I had really wanted to tell my own stories, not work for other people, but this idea was kind of a dream. What had seemingly been good as a videographer, no longer existed in a flash so what did I have to lose? Up to that point Youtube and other “user generated sites” had only been around for months not years. These sites seemed to have a stigma of only containing crappy videos from amateurs. I remember the sentiment that respectable filmmakers didn’t do that sort of thing. No one I knew in the video business was making videos and putting them up for free on these unique sites, I thought I might as well put up a few I had created since they had screened and then died. I put “Nerves of Steel” and “In Case of Emergency” up. Two films I had screened at some smaller film festivals.
After figuring out a dozen “user generated” sites or so, I instantly loved the fact that there was immediate feedback and fulfillment from an audience. Before I had to find a place to screen a film and it could take months if not years to find a festival. By the time that happened, I may hardly remember why i made the film in the first place. What an amazing thing this “user generated online distribution” was for producers. I uploaded the same videos to all the sites and was able compare the views and reactions. Not only did I learn about what videos were most popular, I also learned the value of working with the right distribution partners. One week in the summer of 2008 I had the opportunity to film Streaming Media West at their annual conference which took place in Silicon Valley. This conference put together by Dan Rayburn featured one panel about a new thing called a web series. Show creators with titillating new brands included Rocketbook, and Political Lunch spoke about what they were doing. The market for such an idea was really immature, but the opportunity was good according to them. The web series was to be the next big thing in their estimation. The internet was the wild west where there were no rules to speak of. No technical specifications, no close captioning, no format restrictions, and the list went on and on. A video creator could do whatever they wanted and tons of sites like Youtube would host the videos for free too. This seemed to be a no brainer for me to experiment with more.
I though more and more about producing a web series in 2008 after a year of distributing videos all over the internet. My documentary “Nerves of Steel” featured on Crackel for nearly a year, then ChappyShowcase became a partner producer with Metacafe. Shortly after that Youtube accepted my application to be a “producer partner” as well. These events really got my hooked into the possibilities of what a web series may present. Especially now that i had learned the value of intellectual property and money working for you and not the other way around. I felt a web series was a better idea because it was serial or episodic in nature. This sort of distribution approach could be a better way to build an audience. I experienced that my videos were often one-off and not serial even if some of them were getting pretty good hits. The one-off videos were not seemingly connected from one upload to another. Perhaps this gave my viewers no reason to necessarily check back in and watch new videos. One week I may put up a Samoan music video from a guy who had not payed me (so this was my way at some sort of monetization) for the work. Another week I may put up a grease monkey video of a time lapse car repair I did. Yet another time I would release a parody I made with my brother years earlier; shot on analog video. Although I did find many would simply binge view my content all at once for a day or two, a serial show may bring people back by the nature of the release and continual story forward. This could go on for months, or maybe even years. More and more people (on Youtube especially) were starting to put out a web series of some sort. Some releasing a new episode once a month, or once a week, or even some did it once a day.
Some years before all of this, my wife and I started raising guide dogs for the blind in 2002. Over the following decade we really started to enjoy it and couldn’t believe how fulfilling it was to help other people. “Could we make a web series about this guide dog stuff?” We became good friends with the visually impaired partner who received our first guide pup Macklin. Her genuine appreciation and ability to raise her level of productivity in life was so apparent that it just smacked me in the face. “This is a whole new narrative world I have hardly seen in tv or movies” I thought. After a few days of talking about it, my wife Amie and I decided to give it a shot and make a web series. At least we figured we would try putting out a video once a week for a little while.
Growing Up Guide Pup was to be the name of the series. We really didn’t have much of a plan as we decided to experiment and remove conventional production bureaucracy so we could move quickly. We had a new puppy arriving shortly. Two days after the idea, I already had camcorder in hand and was filming cause a puppy had become available. That first episode we decided to design a format that even the visually impaired could enjoy through colorful description. At first we focused on story, not production value. We filmed with a cell phone for the first time so we could get footage in the grocery store without a hassle. We focused on spontaneity and decided to keep the amount of oversight and cost to a minimum. My in kind equipment from my video business would be fine to make the series, and my prior online distribution experience with ChappyShowcase made me comfortable enough to move forward with a once a week video release approach. We released a video every week as our new puppy Ricki matured. Episode after episode we couldn’t believe how fun the process was for us. We also got more feedback and appreciation than we had anticipated. We started hearing from people who lived in other parts of the US, and even other countries. The service dog school we were working with at the time caught wind of what we were doing and starting promoting our videos and writing blogs so get more PR for themselves. The next thing we knew, our series was not an experiment anymore. it seemed to be working as a moving story piece and the puppy appeal was undeniable.
Our series was accepted in the New Media Film Festival in 2010 while we were still filming the first season about Ricki. This was about 8 months after we had started. It was amazing how fast things work with the internet. Before we knew it, we had made a relationship with Nylabone dog toys and did our first contest giveaway. After a year, we had several thousand loyal fans as we continued to make the series and grow our core followers of dog lovers, puppy raisers, service dog people, and the visually impaired. Eventually this landed us an invitation to screen our series at the first and still largest web series festival in the world. Its called the LAWebFest and was founded by Michael Ajakwe Jr. It rendered awards for many things, but most importantly “Outstanding Non-Fiction Series” two years in a row in 2011 and 2012. In 2013, we also received an award at CreaTV Awards in Silicon Valley for “Outstanding CreaTiVe Award Feature Winner”. After we finished our 2nd season with our dog Pilaf, we decided to stop for awhile and focus on our eldest states dog. Our career changed guide dog pup named Eli had cancer and we wanted to focus on his last months. He recently passed just shy of his 10th birthday, which was tough, but gave us a lot of time to reflect. We had for the first time experienced the entire life-cycle. One of our guide dog puppies had been with us from the beginning all the way to the end. This was the last part needed to give us complete perspective.
It is 2014, and we are now ready to get serious with Growing Up Guide Pup once again. Older, wiser, more experienced, and full of a renewed passion for storytelling my wife and I are excited about the endless opportunities Growing Up Guide Pup presents. In 2013 we spent six moths and hired consultation to build a business plan for Growing Up Guide Pup which would allow us to create a sustainable brand. We also have done a lot of research about non-profit formation as well as making it a opportunity for investors. Both are possibilites and we will rule nothing out as neither has taken hold. We are now prepared after years of homework and study to implement a tv show addition to our already established web series program and move both forward together. Growing Up Guide Pup is ready to go from web series to beyond!
