kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

“If [wealthy, powerful people] can get us to accept that the future’s already settled, AI is already here, the end is already here, then we will create that for them. My most daring idea is to refuse.” — @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

American Jews have been TRYING to tell folks that yes, AIPAC is evil, & fuck them, but Christian Zionists in the US outnumber Jews IN THE WORLD & have risen to power in all areas of our government, & they want to bring the End Times (& kill all the Jews btw), AND THIS IS WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

What power endures of an endless rage? #ProjectViolets

✨Sketched with my friend @beastsoul.bsky.social on their 30th Pokemon Anniversary stream with peeps and did an eldritch Eldegoss. So fun, loved seeing the interpretations! You're all amazing! 😍🌱❤️

someone screenshot of Homer’s desk where he’s covered up the sign with photos of Maggie so it says “DO IT FOR HER”

this has only become more poignant as I’ve grown older and had children of my own and come to the realization that I, like Homer, will never be allowed to retire

every time i look at instagram, i feel like im the only adult who doesn't know how to make money

I hold firm to the idea that new people are learning old information for the first time all the time, and it’s normal not to know things. If you’re a journalist (lmao with a Substack, no less) pretending the NYT is fair and balanced about trans people, you’re being malicious. Nobody is that stupid.

If you're seeing footage of Iranians happy that Khamenei is dead and thinking for a moment that maybe actually the bombing was worth it because he was a horrific dictator: remember the US fucking put him there to begin with

Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller. First panel, Nancy talking to a logger sawing a tree and pointing to a carved piece of trunk. Nancy: Can I have that piece? My boy friend carved it. Logger: Sure. Second panel, Nancy is watching the log burn in the fire place. Nancy: I'm mad at him.

Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.

Maybe I’m built different but there was never a point in my life where anybody could trick me into killing a bunch of people. Definitely not the fucking US government. You know what you’re signing up for man. You can’t be out here with a military grade rifle talmbout ‘Be gentle I’m baby’

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

They don't *need* AI to make these decisions. But they *want* AI to make these decisions. Because the tech gives them plausible deniability--something to blame (other than themselves) when things go wrong.

in case anyone ever needed confirmation that it's not about building a democratic Iran, it's about collapsing Iran and turning it into a land of rubble that can be bombed every six months

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

With everything going on, a slow down in client work, having to put drawing on the back burner as I start teaching again, I have just felt really bad about life and my art for some reason

Saw my stuff for sale at the Portland Nursery today though and that at least felt encouraging
