A drawing of my femsona sitting very cutely on top of a brick wall. She is wearing a white sleeveless sweater, highwaisted jeans, a purple bracelet, purple shoes, and glasses. Text is laid over the image that reads: "Repost if you like boobs or if you desperately crave for the AI bubble to burst and consequences to happen to certain men in power." My watermark is also over the image at a lower opacity.
A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.
Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.
Just before Christmas, I got a puppy. Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie. I'm still learning how to understand her. Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo? Do you need to do a widdle piddle? Minnie: Arf! *I just call her "little baby" most of the time. I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now. Nobody tells you about that.
I got so lucky with my first puppy. Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now. Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport.
I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers. I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless. The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective. I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition. ICE will pick up anybody. I know that. So I tucked my passport away. And I largely avoid leaving my house.
I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too. And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized. We'll do our best to get through this. Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?
Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis.

4 panel comic P1: a rear shot of a Santa Claus. He stands oddly, with his legs slightly bent, and his arms hanging loosely by his sides. His shoulders are stopped forward. Standing on an icy waste, he quietly sings "jingle bells, jingle bells" to himself P2: "jin-- --gle...?" he senses our presence, and slightly turns his surprised face toward us P3: a sudden dramatic closeup as --blank eyed-- he reaches towards us with spindly gloved fingers, a knife slash of a smile on his face His singing of "Jingle Bells" suddenly grows louder, filling up the frame P4: the words have become so large now that they are just wobbly shapes filling our field of vision.
Kind of obsessed with this shot of Miu doing a torture rack while holding a book with one hand to read it
THATS MY FUCKING CHAMPION
“0% woke shit”
a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time
A chicken stares up at a bird in a tree who says "psst- hey, word to the wise. Have you seen what the farmer's been up to? It's some real sick and twisted business." The chicken retracts its head into its body like a collapsing telescope, as the smaller bird continues, "he takes his axe and BAM! Heads come clean off. You better protect your neck." The chicken runs through its yard, wings up, yelling "what have I done to deserve this? Why me? Oh what a cruel mistress is fate! Think! Think! What to do?" Some time later, the chicken is standing in the yard, wearing a spike covered helmet which is padlocked to chains wrapping around its body, and it says "go on ahead- try me, motherfucker."
Have you seen what the farmer's been up to?

🎃 just saying...
I don’t know why people are selling these books (well, trying to sell them) for hundreds of dollars online. They’re still available directly from our website shop for 30$.
Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210" It reads: "Dear Joel: I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country. I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities. Sincerely yours, Charles M. Schulz" At bottom is an illustration of Charlie Brown and Snoopy, a kite wrapped around the dog house.
Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today.

A bird with black head and wings but red-orange body is slightly annoyed to be touched by a human hand, beak semi-open in protest, as if about to complain. In the background is a lush forest scene.

Touching this bird can result in numbness & tingling in extremities. Eating it can result in paralysis or death ☠️.
Let's talk about neurotoxic birds 🐦.

Fred Flentstone stands, hands on his hips, looking incredulously at Barney Rubble, who is at the corner of the panel barely visible. He appears to wearing tiny sunglasses. "C'mon Barn, what's with the getup? and what is that on your head?" Fred asks. "oh this, Fred?" We now see Barney is also wearing a black trench coat and smoking a cigarette. A small bird is taped to the side of his head. "Just the latest in cybernetic enhancement technology- wired right into my brain." The background dissolves and Barney stands next to a free floating diagram of a human body with several small birds going into it and says "we're entering a new age, Fred- the synthesis of man and machine as one flesh. This is the future. It's hack or be hacked." Fred looks incredulous. The bird pecks Barney. Barney puts his hands on his head and screams "the machines are turning against us! We have built God only for him to destroy us!" as the bird continues to peck at him.

As conservative PJ O'Rourke said: “Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work & then they get elected and prove it.”
The GOP exists solely to benefit the 1%. They don't care if our government shuts down and millions lose healthcare. But 18 million stayed home

For there to be more "range" in the English manga market publishers have to take the risk & decide to release titles more for the sake of playing the long game, i.e. giving readers the opportunity to educate themselves on older classics or simply expanding their horizons with "new" genres.

To be clear:
1. We’ve taken in roughly $150 billion in tariffs - nowhere near a single trillion, much less trillions.
2. Tariffs single-handedly saving our military — which has been the strongest in the world for decades — is the dumbest shit I’ve read today.

This video by Alex Pearlman does a really good job explaining why branding changes like his aren't "woke" they're just another chapter in the big book of "Capitalism and the adventure of endless growth for the shareholders".
