Who could have seen this coming?

emergency comms on vgen, 15% off of sketches and 20% off of everything else (shown prices are default), trying to get my vgen verified and also saving up for an important trip, reposts highly appreciated!

me: i am a rational person and i evaluate the world around me with clear eyed skepticism of superstition, magical thinking, and faith based reasoning also me: there are actual demons that live in SharePoint. the demons in SharePoint delight in our suffering

Just a couple days left to make rent & I am short. I’ve got to sell at least 5 framed pieces (or the equivalent). Made some new paintings to go home w/ orders over $75!

Every once in a while I think man, we were so close to never having to think about that motherfucker again, and then people said nah, let’s just ruin our lives instead

the jobs of the future, where you will be a hereditary serf producing goods for your betters

I keep catching strays from "technology is neutral" people, so let's set things straight. 1) Technology is not neutral, especially the subset of technology called "algorithms" 2) The form-factor that makes a technology into a tool is not neutral 3) How tools are productized is not neutral [rant]

Absolutely fuck everyone involved in this show. They know. They all know. It's impossible not to at this point. Lithgow had a CLOSE FRIEND reach out and try and get how awful this is through to him and he's more than happy to take the role and is "curious" to meet Rowling. Absolute fucking scum.

The thing is, it is extremely *easy* to be normal to trans people. It takes zero effort. Being normal is the easy, lazy option. You have to actually expend effort and go out of your way to not be normal to trans people. It actively requires effort.

i will personally take the occasional negative AI discourse over a bunch of fuckin NAZIS AND RACISTS but i guess every one looks for different things in how they enjoy social media

an entire people is being deliberately starved to death

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Different countries have different ways of saying “papers please” and that’s okay

There are times when a decent person would quit rather than preside over a sick farce. This is one of those times.

If you notice, it's ONLY the "vote blue no matter who" crowd who are freaking out about Hogg wanting to primary ineffective Dems. AND THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES.

once again reminding folks that putting top secret information onto your phone is illegal and unsafe regardless of who you add to the chat or what app you choose to send it with. Even if you only add the one person who should get it, and you only use signal, it is still illegal and unsafe.

Doubling down on losing. The DNC WANTS Trump in power. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

The right has a well-organized, well-funded media ecosystem for grievance politics, a "this thing upsets me" to "hm, protocols of the elders of zion you say? Sign me up" pipeline. Literally autoplay basically anything on youtube, then wait for blood libel to show up

If your Rep or Senator isn't capable of doing Van Hollen-style stuff — for cowardice reasons, or because they're infirm, or they're belatedly sucking up to a dying Trump movement, or really any other reason — you should primary them. It's gonna take a lot more stuff like this. All hands on deck.

Jesus Christ, man

Chris Van Hollen flying down to El Salvador and refusing to leave until he got in a room with Kilmar Abrego Garcia blows up every other “well what do you expect them to do?” defense for elected Democrats

Moving from a red state, it feels so weird to be proud of my senator.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

Spread the love for small kiwi businesses!! The whole shop is awesome and I can't wait to get my hands on some.

I’m in a *very* bad spot at the moment, so I’m offering something *very* special - For today, buy 2 prints, pick out a 3rd on me. Get them framed, the third will be framed on me. That is a MASSIVE savings & perfect for gifts & getting something for yourself! www.sol-exposure.com/product-cate...

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

we barely have libraries in this city anymore and this Nazi fuck makes a quarter mil a year

yes rowling is a hateful shitbag but the main reason i'm not going to watch the new harry potter series is that i'm an adult

If I get to 50k followers, I'll make a Godzilla fancomic in this style

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

Yes i can confirm ive eaten the dire wolfs. I slow cooked them in the pit "Memphis style". I had them for dinner and it cost me $500 per dog

Married “man” with kids can’t stop saving thirst trap photos of the woman he hates to make another hundred videos about her.

*me thinking about how I am never gonna click on your substack because I refuse to support Nazis, racists, and anti-trans bellends—even indirectly* It's a lifestyle

"We need to encourage people to have kids" "If you get married and pregnant you become an unperson who can't vote or make decisions about your body – which is subordinate to the state your husband and and your biological role to die on the cross of fertility subject to the whims of God and sepsis."

What the fuck

I still think about this tweet sometimes

lol, lmao

This. If you like my work, please spread the word- it's the only thing that's EVER been effective. And yes, trying to get on here every day to promote anything is like sticking my head in the depression vat, but it's the only way I get to survive.

Almost everyone I know in the arts bar the luckiest of the lucky few - the most talented people I know, the funniest and most industrious people I know - almost universally people are saying they don’t think they can afford to do this job anymore.

Most infighting on the left in the US is simply due to the US government spending a century shooting any leftist leader in the head and strangling every organization with. You've never seen a healthy, thriving leftist movement in the US, a Pinkerton put a bullet in its head a century ago

Out here catching strays

My sales have dropped by 50% in 30 days. This has literally never happened before. In eight years of business. Please don’t suggest solutions, I’m already doing everything I can to survive.

The U.S. just exploded an entire apartment building in Yemen in an attempt to kill one guy. It was in the news and everything. At least 58 people died.
