Letter of the law, he had no choice.

That was lovely and very poignant. Thank you for these, they’re always a highlight of my day.

Saw a cardinal in our redbud tree today.

😬 Oh, damn, that’s saying something. Maybe next year will be nice and pattern-free for you. Or we can crowdfund a custom brush or something if it’s not.

Sporting Arsenal Poorly Drawn Hello and welcome back to the first Arsenal game since the international break! That’s right, this was the first match of the run in, there was no other match that happened whatsoever. No need to check Arsenal dot com to make sure I’m correct. In fact, it’s better if you just delete that app. Anyway, I enjoyed this post on Bluesky from Southbound Harrison. Drawing, pet photos, and my reading list (I read a lot over the break) are all below. > — Southbound Harrison (@southboundharrison.bsky.social) 2026-04-07T20:59:47.306Z Love a good last minute goal, hate to draw this kit again **React to this drawing** 👍👍👍**-** 👍👍**-** 👍 ## Sign up for Poorly Drawn Arsenal Join 10K+ subscribers that get an email after every match Subscribe Email sent!

Yes, I did read 9 books since the last Arsenal game (I refuse to acknowledge that the Southampton match happened), but in my defense the international break also coincided with my spring break (day job is working at a school). Reading _The Eye of the Bedlam Bride: Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 6_ by Matt Dinniman This book is 800+ pages long. I’ll be reading it for a while. Trying to get caught up before the new book releases in May. Recently finished _The Hike_ by Drew Magary _Everything is Tuberculosis_ by John Green _Slow Horses_ by Mick Herron _The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_ by Douglas Adams _The Butcher's Masquerade: Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 5_ by Matt Dinniman _The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World_ by Robin Wall Kimmerer _Catcher in the Rye_ by JD Salinger _Good Omens_ by Terry Pratchett and someone else _Dune Messiah_ by Frank Herbert Here’s a running list of the books I’ve read so far with a one sentence review and a score out of five.

Welcome back to the first Arsenal game since the international break! No need to double check that.

Random question for you: is this blue away kit better or worse to draw than the neon yellow away kit from last year?

A cake decorated to look like a model of a plant cell.

My younger son baked and decorated a cake to look like a plant cell, and I think he did a great job! I helped a bit with the icing, but otherwise he did the rest!

Met some alpacas today.

No worries!!!

I’ve watched that Calafiori block two dozen times and still can’t figure out the physics of it. Glad you drew it because that was an absolutely mental piece of defending.

Nice, lol.

bidding is now open on my offering! two buttons from me of any two characters of your choosing, including OCs! (I suppose you could also just get two different illustrations of one character if you wanted).

Hopefully precautionary, like you said. He hasn’t played many minutes since coming back and made it to the 76th today, so my guess is bit of fatigue + instructed not to take any chances.

I think Hincapié has been solid, but there’s a reason Zubimendi has felt more stretched and nervy for a few weeks now, and it’s not just his minutes. Calafiori inverting into midfield and helping more with buildup in other areas and his movement off the ball helps Zubi a lot.

been awhile since i've had to ask, & i feel bad for having to ask again now.
unfortunately, my work has slowed down in 2026 - no work at all in the past 2 weeks. it's been tough to afford food, gas, cat stuff, med stuff. if you can help & signal boost, I'd be grateful 💖

Congratulations on ten years! One of the best parts of every Arsenal game is the email in my inbox with a new, great drawing. I’m so happy to hear that art was so healing for you, and that you’re still enjoying it.

One of my favorite things in life is Arsenal, and one of my favorite things about Arsenal is this account. I love seeing the drawings he makes, and how expressive the faces are even in cartoon form. I wasn’t aware he’s been drawing for 10 years, but selfishly I hope he loves it for at least 10 more.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

We just shared the link from NBC about three warehouses being bought to house immigrants, but it now looks like we seriously underreported how many are being purchased. Based on information many of you have shared, the number appears to be over 26.

Regency. Cheese. Pilot.

That is absolutely PERFECT for Rhys, holy shit.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Good for him. I hope when he’s old and hot he can look back at these photos and enjoy what it was like when he was young and hot.

Congratulations on posting!!!!!! I know everyone is gonna love it!

Happy birthday!!!

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

So this administration has charged an independent Black journalist reporting in Minnesota but not two white agents who murdered two citizens

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

Set piece again, olé olé!! I love Arsenal so much, and I love how much the haters will hate that goal.

😘😘😘😘
