this dove looks like he suspects me of trying to eat one of the olives when he's not looking

send this to someone who you'd like to stab with a dart which facilitates the entry of hormone-bearing mucus into their body, chemically altering their reproductive system and making them more receptive to your sperm

Digital art. Two snails mating. They are grappling one another, each fighting to maneuver into the ideal position relative to their partner's body in order to fire a love dart. Soft, romantic, and Valentine-pink.

A downy woodpecker sits on a spruce on a sunny winter day. "Ahh... Febuary" it says. Close up on it correcting "Febrary" then "Febberary..." then finally "Frebrury"

rescued this fragment from a larger but equally frivolous drawing that I’ve been playing around with

Digital art. Simple drawing of a white snail embellished with golden spirals. Soft, hopeful, and slightly mischievous. Ground suggested by an irregular, geometrical patchwork of hatching. All in white, black and gold.

It is clear that something has shifted. Abolish ICE is not just the mainstream position, it is also the only moral one. I have seen up close what their occupation has done to Minneapolis. They are an affront to human dignity. A rogue paramilitary force that will execute you in the street like an animal and count the bullet holes when they’re done and smear your name online to cover their tracks. A kaleidoscopic nightmare of state violence and Silicon Valley-sponsored surveillance run by internet-brainrotted fascists and hapless podcasters that forces normal people, like Pretti or Renee Good or Keith Porter, to respond the only rational way one can to such a thing. You must oppose it with whatever you have. Hide your neighbors and arm yourself with whistles, barricades, Signal groups, geolocation tools, cellphone videos, and, if need be, you go on strike. Which is why, tomorrow, instead of our usual Friday issue, Garbage Day is joining the general strike in solidarity with Minneapolis.

I recognize that this might make us seem like less “objective” journalists, but we have a responsibility as Americans. I, also, don’t really give a shit anymore. And neither does my team. We're joining the general strike tomorrow.

Digital art. Rough sketch. Two fragments of bodies. One on all fours, the other kneeling with arms raised. Pale green swirls and one snail fill the empty space.

Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Hosts Deranged ‘Furry’ Marie Antoinette Party Some commentators compared the dog-friendly fundraiser to unsettling scenes in ‘Eyes Wide Shut.’

apparently there's not a fursuit maker left on the planet willing to take a custom commission from this administration. comrades I see your resistance www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-mar-a...

Digital art. Bright and psychedelic (but more or less accurate) representation of two leopard slugs mating. Their bodies twist together in a suggestive, slightly yonic shape. Their antennae are intertwined, creating a heart in the void between them. Daisies fill the background, crossed by striped, symmetrical ribbons of color at both lower corners. The same ribbon of color seems to drip or ooze from the upper left. All in canary yellow, sky blue, lavender, and very dark blue-green.
