the best time to stand up for us was years ago when we told you where this was all heading

until cis people decide to stop this,
it’s gonna continue

you see where this is heading

the second best time to stand up for us is NOW

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 

The phrase β€˜Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen β€˜His name’

A collage of five images, three of which are on the top and two of which are on the bottom. The photos are of, in order: Sean Dunn (the guy who threw a sandwich at an ICE agent), the Master Debater (ultimate debate chad), the guy who taunted ICE on an e-bike in Chicago and got away, the guy who punched Richard Spencer in the face on January 20, 2017, and our most recent hero who punched the guy trying to cause a ruckus at a high school by supporting ICE.

Each of the photos are of them in their β€œaction shots,” if you will. Dunn is in the act of throwing the sandwich, Master Debater is in the midst of saying he would have both to some trolls question about whether he would have economic growth or gender equality, the e-bike guy is in the midst of taunting an ICE agent and biking away, the Richard Spencer puncher is seen right at the moment of making contact with his face, and our latest hero is clasping his hands together and saying β€œokay” after the troll said he would get in trouble if he punched him in the face.

It’s Groundhog Day and WTAW Press has the perfect book to read again and again!

Henry Hoke's The Groundhog Forever leans into cycles, returns, and the strange comfort (and unease) of living a moment again and again.β„οΈπŸ“–

Ooh it’s time again for me to recommend Henry Hoke’s Open Throat book! A queer lion in LA, subject to the same bullshit as everyone else in LA/on earth. Beautifully done. typebooks.ca/products/978...

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.
