Digital portrait of a siren or mermaid with white hair, surrounded by fish and coral.

A siren for the summer! 🐟

I decided to re-paint a colored sketch from 2020.

You’re in the drivers seat of a car holding a cigar in one hand and a phone in the other. The phone is showing a still from a video of a car driving. Charli XCX is posing on all fours on the front window, and the window glass is smashed. There is a child in a green shirt standing on the side of the road who is screaming. Barack Obama is in the rear view mirror, and behind him is lightning McQueen. All images edited on the screen are hastily put together. End ID

A digital drawing featuring cute items scattered around the page: a cool bear character wearing a tie, flowers, an apple with a worm in it, a chicken, and so on.

BEARS!!

Cover of the June 3, 1933 issue of a French satirical magazine showing someone licking Hitler’s boots.

Okay, this is so weird. I came across this June 3, 1933 issue of a French satirical magazine at our local flea market and I was shockingly struck by how much the guy licking Hitler’s boots looks like…

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

Juneteenth is the perfect moment to remind everyone of two facts:

1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it.

Read this out loud. Read it again. Then teach it to your kids.

I reference this scene no less than once a week.

This is a horrible book.

You won’t find any joy in it.

There are no stats for the monsters inside.
This is not a book about how they kill,
or how to kill them.

This is a book about how they loved.

And love is the real monster.

PBS funding cuts: A blow to children who need it most “The bottom line: We want high-quality public media that's accessible to kids."

The PBS funding cuts are a blow to children who need it most.

With more options than ever for kids' entertainment, producing research-backed, high-quality, non-advertising content for families—particularly those in low-resource areas—has never been more important.

Blatantly unconstitutional.

NYT headline: How the Transgender Rights Movement Bet on the Supreme Court and Lost Here's the inside story of the case that could set the movement back a generation.

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

This shade of purple is soothing and healing my soul. Such a cool dress!!!

First test fit of my Peach cosplay! I have lots of things to fix/add this summer, but I'm so proud!

Something the Skrmetti decision drives home: "Puberty blockers" should be abandoned as a goal; the goal should be HRT for any minor that wants it; puberty blockers should be a tool for minors who choose themselves they need more time to decide and *nothing else*.
