a teenage detective comic

From the late Jesse Hamm. My personal mantra for the past decade.

The idea that bright, wild color is something you outgrow is a damaging lie society tells us. This unspoken rule, that enjoying intense, clashing colors makes you childish, is pure bullshit. The depression palette trend has only gotten worse because it saves corpos money. We gotta end it.

Reposting this once again, because history is a very small circle

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

it is impossible to miss the difference between the names you see in newspaper headlines and the names you don't see in newspaper headlines

17th century illustratio. The text “Matthew Hopkins, Witch Finder General,” above a man in Puritan clothing, presumably Matt himself. On the right is a woman sitting in a chair, saying “My Imps names are 1. Ilemauzar 2. Pyewackett 3. Peeke in the Crowne 4. Grizzle Greedigutt.” On the left is another man sitting in a chair, saying “Holt.” as if this is self explanatory. About the space are numerous odd creatures: a shaggy dog-like beast labeled Jarmara, a hare or rabbit labeled Sacke & Sugar, something like a long small cow named Vinegar tom, and an unidentified small creature labeled Newes.

Me and my mutuals.

Gregory Bovino Gets Demoted The Border Patrol chief was the public face of a traveling immigration crackdown on cities governed by Democrats.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

A passage from the book "After Jesus Before Christianity" by Erin Vearncombe, Brandon Scott and Hal Taussig

When the author sees the opportunity for a Gnosticism pun #booksky

A lil wormy fella bringing the party #illustration #watercolor

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.

January 16, 1 pm, Richfield (just south of the Minneapolis border) fweet fweet honk honk HOOOOONK "Oh, jeez."

A van with tinted windows pulls into the parking lot of the strip mall, with a few cars on its tail.

This intersection's full of potential targets, even with all the locked foors and closures. Cafe, restaurant (closed), grocery store, school (went virtual this week). This isn't a crisis that ends at 60th Street.

But the observers show up here, too. To my knowledge, the van drives off after five minutes without taking anyone.

Five minutes, twenty degrees, a dozen people. #IceOutComics #IceOutMpls

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

I've never gotten along with this particular bit of writing advice either. It feels very screenwritery, along with the idea that you need a protagonist you can "root for." Probably useful if you're writing a Patterson-style thriller, but not everyone is
