Half pipe hero.

The protest are nonviolent. Until law enforcement shows up. Then it's tear gas, rubber bullets, excessive police force and news outlets talking about how the protest mysteriously turned violent.

Dropping this here for no real reason. Be safe out there, LA. youtu.be/nWEpW6KOZDs?...

🚨 ALERTA PHILLY 🚨 Hearing from a very credible local source that there may be ICE action tomorrow (Sunday 6/8) in the following areas: 5th and Washington Ave 7th and Snyder Ave 5th and McKean/Wolf Chinatown Let your neighbors know to stay safe and be vigilant. Be ready. Be water.

“No civil police force could hold out against an irate and resolute population. The trick is not to let them realize that.” - Terry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals

For those who can’t protest locally but still want to help, a redditor provided a great suggestion. Call your representative and tell them they need to step in. The more people that contact their reps, the better. Here’s a link you can use to find your representative findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov

Why is Newsom not saying California will not be cooperating? What use is he?

Some things are unprecedented but many things are precedented.

The Bug Jar is the best

Los Angeles is not a stranger to this sort of thing. I’m proud of them and afraid for them both.

Back on my tidepool/reef texture bullshit. This time with that black clay/white porcelain contrast I love.

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

Didn’t expect this from Scientific American but here we are. (Article from 2020 but everything still relevant including COVID precautions)

I sent Gov. Josh Shapiro and the PA AG an email months ago asking how they would respond to the Fed violating PA residents' civil rights and got back a response saying they do not give out legal advice. I do not think blue state governments are able to conceptualize what is coming.

All snoots no thoughts

the people in LA putting their safety on the line right now to try and stop ICE are the bravest people we have got

I spent like 5 summers going to Ranger Rick summer programs. I learned so much. Fangirling.

Lovely matte A4 #print of "On the Morning Watch" ready to be signed by hand. I'm really happy with the quality and the paper feels great to the touch. This one is up for grabs via DM! Available in my shop from A5 to A0, this is the Premium Matte option. ko-fi.com/s/428a68766c

Say hello to my beautiful chicken friends.

"Whoever smelt it dealt" it is gaslighting.

i don't understand this "you didn't do it perfectly so fuck you" reaction to simone biles' standing up for trans folks (specifically for trans fem ppl in sports). if someone makes a mistake in an effort to be an ally, we can just. tell them how to improve without basically calling them an asshole.

Currently, they are rolling in tanks for a narcissist's military parade. America check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Almost time for Beastlies!

Dear liberals: you actually don't need to make every post or comment about how awful Donald Trump is. We all know already. The only people who need convincing are his supporters, and they will never be convinced, because they can't be. They already know he's evil, and that's why they worship him.

The Goonies was released on this day in 1985. I loved it then. I love it now. Here's some Goonies original art from collection. @bobbytimony.bsky.social @jonscrazyblues.bsky.social @dgriffstudios.bsky.social and Jamie Cosley. #artlife #comics #art #film

2020 pride piece... This is "Role", oil on canvas. I used a special pink pigment that's really hard to photograph accurately. It's supposed to be a bisexual colored piece about gender roles #Pride #Art #Azra #OC
