Everything is “passkey” nowadays so kids don’t even know about metal keys.
They unlock their secret diaries with pronouns and then write more pronouns in the diaries.
They are recounting pronoun odysseys from their weeks, the way you or I might write about what’s happened on “Happy Days”
We were once so close to heaven
Peter came out and gave us medals
Declaring us the nicest of the damned
The phrase 'mansplayne the pope' hath the same rhythm as the phrase 'pynke ponye clubbe'
I love them!!
Bandana design of a lifecycle of a sockeye salmon around the edge. Inside are patterns of salmonberry flowers and salmonberries, in triangles are animals that depend on the salmon roughly during the fish’s lifecycle they are near. Animals: Heron Raccoon Osprey Orca Seal Brown bear Wolf Otter
I don’t think I ever posted the bandana design I did for @waywardretreats.bsky.social last year. There seemed to be a lot of talk about death so I wanted to make a thing that showed the life and death of a Sockeye and the animals that depend on their dramatic lifecycle. Lots depends on death.

a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.
a world without trans people has never existed and never will
The planet Jupiter with its cloud bands seen in shades of pink, rusty red, blue, and purple. The Great Red Spot is a deep navy blue, surrounded by bands and swirls of pink, and light blue.
Hubble's ultraviolet view of Jupiter shows the planet in hues of pink and blue.
jupiter wishes you a very happy trans day of visibility 🏳️⚧️
You should be able to retire on that
Medieval artists were highly skilled, actually
I would much rather ppl wonder why I'm still wearing a mask than get sick. When I feel awkward wearing a mask, I just think back to having Covid, how it gave me tonsillitis so bad I couldn't sleep for 4 days straight, was crying constantly, joints aching, body shivering. I'll be awkward thanks.

Comic page showing disorienting eyes and text that reads “I keep thinking about how they say that the first thing to go when regimes come to power is art. Everything you say or do is monitored, censored, destroyed if it doesn’t fit what the regime wants.”
White page with blue illustrations showing meals, hand made items and other things . Text reads “I think about how we’re all a part of a larger tapestry, adding a stitch to each others lives one thread at a time, through the things we make. The stories we share, a meal, a recipe, a song, whatever it is, brings us closer to each other.”
Again the eyes , distorted with a group of people being enveloped and two phones being over run by notifications. Text reads “2&;$ how rapidly the news cycles were barely able to keep our heads above water to figure out the next steps / but that’s what they want, to exhaust you, so that it’s easier for the cold apathy to settle in/ ice wants you to not care about your neighbors, strangers, anyone and everyone . They want your apathy.”
Three wolves made of threads melt the ice and eyes. Text reads “don’t give it to them”
some thoughts amidst burn out + grief, but keep at it. #iceoutnyc #iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

A photograph of the seminary gym in knives out. It has the same window.
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
a graph from H.G. Cocks' "Nameless Offences" showing committals for sodomy and related misdemeanors 1806-1900, and a data spike in roughly 1844
me, an academic: (exhales a plume of smoke from my pipe. I haven't said a word in 5 hours) 1844 was a rather good year for sodomy
