Any insult comics who hate violent goons/kidnapping assholes & want to up their crowd work game, get yourself to your local ICE facility with a megaphone

Text spray painted on cement barriers at Broadview ICE in black paint: ICE murderers kidnappers cowards, ISP boot lickers fascists cowards, ICE murderers kidnappers cowards

Went to Broadview ICE today. All I'm gonna say is... what I want is for whistles & neighborhood lookouts & text chains & the rest not to be necessary. I want the war on us to stop. I want no one--except those who are doing this--to hear the racking sobs of someone whose loved one is inside Broadview

Hemi the black and white cat holding onto his packing papers tightly with his big paws. He’s guarding them closely after thinking I might toss them away.

Mom couldn’t find me so she crinkled my papers and I ran out to be sure she didn’t toss them in the trash.
In other words she cheated to get me to come out!

Phot of a large flame point cat who looks frightened.

Look at Creemee. 🥹 He's a big, handsome, FIV+ smoosh at the shelter right now, and a total sweetheart despite his very hard life. If you know anyone in northern Vermont looking for gentle friend, please pass this along! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.

I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

A very cozy orange kitten sleeps soundly under a fluffy map blanket.

Dandy’s adventures in blanketeering continue today. Shortly after I took this picture she did a big stretch and kicked Spike out of the spot between my feet.

Spike has resettled in my armpit.

This is the best thing ever.

I am lightly horrified by how many people have now looked up their books and found out their publishers (who often were required contractually!!!!) just... didn't register the copyrights on books. Not all of them! Just sporadically!

This is not just one publisher, I've seen all the big ones now.

A hand-drawn fantasy map of the desert city of Ank’Harel from Critical Role’s world of Exandria. The city is surrounded by mountains and desert sands. The map shows a vast city with hundreds of buildings, a palace and a lush garden district. Its bordered in a desert flower motif.

An illustrated map of the fictional city of Port Damali in the world of Exandria created by Critical Role. It is a tiered city build on a hill and surrounded on three sides by water. A large harbor is to the south next to a lighthouse. It is brightly colored and compact.

An illustrated map of the fictional city of Rosohna in the world of Exandria created by Critical Role. The city butts up against a large mountain and is surrounded by a hostile landscape. The center of the city looks lush and green with huge houses, some in ruins, as the city was built on the ruins of a much older city. The outlying dwellings look to be little more than huddled shacks surrounded by walls.

Want a print of Wildemount, Ank'Harel, Port Damali, Rosohna, or Rexxentrum? I offer prints & downloads of the maps I created for Critical Role on my website! Frame them or surprise your players as you roll it out on the table! devenrue.com/collections/...

This is useful information for how to get vaccinated, even though delusional eugenicists don’t want you to

Same. I've got an excellent doctor who I know will help me get it and I'm very grateful. What a horrible situation!

So much death and destruction. Over and over again. Each day a new tragedy.😞 I am so sorry you have to go through this. Praying that you all stay safe and for an end to this cruel war soon.

Just a periodic reminder that it's a good idea to bookmark your favorite artists' sites, sign up for their newsletters, and follow them everywhere you can. (My links are in my profile & pinned post!). Because of the current climate of censorship you never know where we'll get kicked off of next.

Can you help me spread the word?

Just thinking about how Stephen Miller is the motivating force behind what's happening in Paramount today, and probably the demand to take over California's national guard, and that he grew up in Southern California and apparently is still angry and carrying grudges because he was so despised here.

David Attenborough [whispering]:

“The dual-finned Canadian land shark surfaces briefly, scouting the area for signs of potential prey.”

Those look like imminent murder kitty eyes to me! 🤣 Also, love to see World Book Encyclopedias! We had a set when I was growing up. Instant nostalgia rush!

I got home from my double about 20 minutes ago. Dandy has been making biscuits for 18 minutes now.

Werner Herzog, an old white guy, wearing a set of robes with a giant medal around his neck. He's gesturing wildly with his hands.

David Cronenberg, an old white guy, wearing a futuristic suit and tie with square glasses. He's looking at a projection of complex schematics full of hexagons

Finally, an easy way to explain the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek:

One has Werner Herzog demanding a magic baby

The other has David Cronenberg explaining cosmic science politics

Interesting. Two of the grievances in the Declaration of Independence condemned the Crown for denying legal protection, especially imprisonment without cause.

“For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.”

“For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.”

Thank you, Liam! Huge thanks to all the cast and the very hard-working crew! Absolutely incredible show! Can't wait for all Critters to see it too! Complete insanity and I loved every minute of it! Can't wait for all Critters to get to see it!

A reddish-brown dog rests cozily, mostly covered by a fluffy grey blanket.

And let it be known that on this day, nothing was accomplished.

There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist.

Well, I am. We are. We will.

Perhaps you could use a nice blep.

Y’all it is okay to feel joy. In fact joy in the face of terror is a form of resistance. It can serve as a reminder of that which we desire to protect.
