A banner for the Backerkit campaign, Patchkins Plushies. Top center is the Patchkins logo; underneath it says "Comfy cuddlers for your lap!" Left side has a photo of a person wearing a black hoodie holding Ploosh the Pastel Fox draped over their arms. To the right of that is a photo of Echo the Eldritch Cat. Next to him are two rows of digital mockups for the other unlockable plush designs. Top row, left to right: Taffy the Clown Bunny, Gizmo the Retro Alien Puppy, Remi the Neapolitan Red Panda, and Kipper the Kidcore Tiger. Bottom row, left to right: Lune the Night Sky Jackalope, Rowan the Split Puppy, Teacup the Cherry Blossom Fox, and Jolly the Pastel Cat.

They want us to think weβre alone. We are not. The Resistance is Everywhere.
Welcome to Resist List. Your online hub of the ongoing resistance to the growth of authoritarianism in the United States.
It's been a week since I visited the offices of Sen Young, Sen Banks, and Rep Shreve (none here) to personally deliver letters with my concerns. In each I requested a response to acknowledge they saw it. None has bothered to even look at a hand-delivered letter, any more than to answer their phones.

"I have my form completed, everything ready to go. I just need a title for this short story, and then I can be done. But I don't have a title yet, so I came down to get some peanut butter M&Ms for it."
"Does that work?"
"Not always. But if I don't get a title, at least I have peanut butter M&Ms."
