I wrote a post on my Ko-Fi about my recent set of illustrations, talking a little more about what inspired them, and how they fit in with my upcoming podcast Say I Slew Them Not. ko-fi.com/Post/Illustr...

So, it's been quite a week. Sadly things have not improved and even gotten worse. I've been rejected from several jobs and I was meant to get help looking for work but the charity have ghosted me. I really need your help at the moment, it's a struggle. #mutualaid #helpsky ko-fi.com/athenaatlas

Been saying we need to look at this thru a DV lens. The most dangerous time of an abusive relationship is when victims try to leave Obama was a departure from standard whiteness, and white supremacists will never forgive us for that or let us leave, even if that means they die with us

I’m working on a T-shirt design, as my tallest and strongest little brother @zucchinimgun.bsky.social has promised to wear one to the local gun range where he shows off how good he is at guns. Which version is best?

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Trump is alot of things. But he has not lied yet in terms of making good on his promises to terrorize marginalized groups and disenfranchise every level of society. I do not have the luxury of not taking this man at his word, especially when he has said verbatim there will be no more elections

So we are fearmongering when they erase trans people from all government literature, we are fearmongering when they say they will send ND people to “wellness” camps, we are fearmongering when they make despicable videos about deportation. So what will it take for people to understand the severity?

Nazima asked me to confirm that the Ferdarian Gazette does not officially endorse violence. That being said, no one at the Ferdarian Gazette shed a tear over the rich Hevians affected by the crime wave described in this reprinted article: www.theferdariangazette.com/episodes-and...

Kingsley the gay anthro crocodile accused war criminal himself. If the picture looks familiar it’s because I modeled it off of Will Graham in jail from Hannibal 🤣

Crocodiles are terrifying until you try to draw them and then you realize they’re extremely goofy looking.

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING

Gonna need more non-disabled people to see stuff like this and understand that ableism is also one of the integral -isms the right is devoted to, so it should be jettisoned whenever and in whomever you encounter it

Grateful to announce that the anthology Brynn Saito and I have been working on the past couple of years — of poetry on Nikkei (Japanese Okinawan American Canadian) incarceration by 66 descendants of people imprisoned during WWII — is out 4/1 @haymarketbooks.org. Cover Rob Sato: thegateofmemory.com

The reason villains are typically more interesting than heroes in fiction is very simple. Heroes in most mainstream American art obey the law and uphold the status quo. If you want more interesting good guys, you need to start writing heroes who blow up pipelines and kill ICE agents.

As a journalist, I’m supposed to be “impartial” but I don’t know how you can read about an underground trade in Ilkhatal body parts & not take a side. Read this reprinted article & maybe you’ll find yourself sympathizing w/ Kingsley and his cause www.theferdariangazette.com/episodes-and...

It's #aromanticawarenessweek which means we get to celebrate our aro founder Quentin Jacobi! He will always be infamous for being an annoying gadfly, a cynical optimist, the first reporter to interview members of the ILA (including Kingsley), and for how many interviewees he slept with.

It's Aromantic Awareness Week. Here are a few basics: -Romanticism is its own spectrum. -You can be ace or aro or both. All are great! -No, I didn't say "aromatic." -You do know aromantic people! I'm one. -Platonic love is very meaningful to me. -Yeah, I know you read it as "aromatic."

STOP complying in advance AND START resisting in advance. Folks need to spend more time actively resisting things before they happen. Have plans in place and don't just wait and see and scramble to do things after the fact.
