I draw and make paintings, and write about gardening, long covid, watching civilization's last fingers slip from a cliff, and living under the great Texas hell dome.

ICE’s agenda of fear must be answered by fearlessness and fact-checking on the part of bystanders and neighbors; their faceless intimidation must not be normalized.

I don’t care who’s the first member of Congress to publicly call it out, but it would be very funny to me if Chris Coons was the one to go on Meet the Press and be like “That man is zooted out of his fucking mind all the time and we need to talk about it.”

gonna nationalize it all back and then go nationalize some shit that should be nationalized a while ago and then were gonna make up some new shit and nationalize that, too

Retirement of Mitch McConnell marks the formal transition of the GOP away from evil people who knowingly feed their base vile propaganda to build support for regressive policies and towards a party that has been fully captured by its own propaganda apparatus and believes all that dumb shit

I think all it would take is a single Republican to get in front of a camera and state the obvious: "I do not think he works for the United States."

As a big fan of not having prisons anymore, seeing Indigenous people block a prison by buying the land out from under the state is very satisfying.

ah, good morning. what stupid chaos awaits us today?

New — Edward "Big Balls" Coristine of DOGE now has digital access to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), an agency source has confirmed to me.

He needs a Bobby Hill intervention just for choosing that name.

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

Does Sesame Street still sing about the people in the neighborhood? youtu.be/jwDq32MtOQU?...

It would be easier to hold mass protests against Trump if we didn't have to spend so much time protesting our own Democratic leaders to convince them to take basic actions already within their power.

feel like the running story of the 2020s is people dramatically underestimating how attached people are to what they consider their home

excuse me. i known it’s late. but i must talk to you about communism

Every union should be echoing this statement.

It's on March 4th this year! I didn't miss it! Can't really go anywhere but a cake holiday is a cake holiday. Great day to march forth, I think. I hope everyone finds a way to celebrate where they are.

Hehe hehehe

Dude is going to get excommunicated if he keeps up with this BS.

everyone is competing to be the antichrist. these are the same holy assholes who bitched about metal.

Here is what I would eat with my brainspoon.

If your first instinct is to tell people you agree with to give up fighting, ask yourself why. What do you hope to accomplish? Who benefits from your efforts? Do they share your values? If not, why are you doing their work for them? You have to fight your demons so you don’t battle your allies.

I really wish we would have an open conversation about the eugenics project how it originally began in the late 1800s, how it gets misunderstood as being just about human breeding. It’s actually fundamentally a pseudoscientific view of evolution and a miss-reading of ecology.

No fights are the wrong fight to pick. Pick every fight. Fight these fascist fuckers every time about everything. Fight them even when they aren't fighting. If they run away, chase them and keep fighting them until they beg to stop and then fight even harder.
