LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

if Thunberg is brave enough to repeatedly put herself directly in harm’s way, then journalists can be brave enough to say that a civilian vessel was illegally seized in international waters, and its crew abducted

reminder: don't post photos of protestors.

👇👇👇 [Alt-text] post reads “If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support, you don't have to go through with it. tel: 1-877-447-4487

ER doctor here! Please seek medical attention (go to the ER) if you are hit in the head with a ballistic. “Less lethal” weapons kill people all the time, in addition to causing permanent disabilities. If you don’t feel safe disclosing that you were protesting just say you were hit in the head, etc

Hey everyone, you want to know a fun factoid? Almost all of the federal agents currently in LA aren’t local, which means they’re staying at a hotel somewhere. Hotels have fire alarms. Wanna know another fun fact? If protests start popping off in other states, they can’t be everywhere at once.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

Please PLEASE don't try to figure out who the skateboard kid is PLEASE if you're gonna make them a meme please leave the actualperson the fuck alone cops murdered visible protestors from Ferguson and 'fun' internet sleuthing is policing

anyone who ever got fussy over "abolish ICE" as a slogan should never open their mouths again

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

This writer-in-residence program at the Boston Public Library seems like a REALLY great opportunity for unpublished writers in the US.

for some reason a soundbite of uncle baby billy saying "teenjus" is just playing on repeat in my brain today

Garden update:

there's a review of my book up on Kirkus Reviews today! "McAndrew doesn’t shrink from asking big moral questions, and his fiction abounds with lived-in touches and a sense of scale." www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

I cannot believe how stupid this country is

Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller June 04,1956

Are the early TMNT comics from the 80's worth checking out? I was a kid during the ninja turtle mania of the late 80's/early 90's and I'm realizing I've never *really* read the original comics beyond flipping through an odd issue here and there.

Garden update:

I'm ordering a pina colada at medieval times

Just crossed an international border while dressed as a wizard

I am sitting here vigorously nodding my head in agreement

i let my son punch me in the head and i tell him the day you can kill me in one blow is the day you officially become a Teen

me while writing comics: wow, I really am a genius aren't I me while drawing the comics I write: I'm the stupidest mother fucker in the state of new york

If you don't know, TCGplayer is a huge online marketplace for buying Magic: the Gathering cards (and other card games). The company is based in my hometown. Ebay bought the company a few years ago and they're now blatantly union busting.

I’m still seeing cover reveals happening and the illustrator being left unmentioned and untagged. This shouldn’t be happening anymore In BIG BIG 2025…ESPECIALLY from authors who should definitely know better cos it’s not their first rodeo. Authors…please…DO BETTER!

hmm looks like we we're dealing with an organ wizard here

is there a decent free alternative to something like indesign
