4 frame comic. each frame shows a scene of destruction in Iran, with pillars of smoke rising up in the sky. text reads : joseph weizenbaum was an a.I pioneer and the creator of the 1966 early chatbot "eliza". in his 1976 book "computer power and human reason", he warned against the dangers of artificial intelligence. weizenbaum asserted that a.I. should never be used for decision-making, because it will always lack moral judgement. people in power, executing their will through a.I., would absolve themselves of moral responsibility. weizenbaum would have known about that. his jewish parents fled nazi germany. from 1933, the nazis spent considerable resources studying how to desen- sitize their agents to commit mass murders. the solution was automation and the removal of agents from decision-making.* (note : The Nazi Mind, Laurence Rees, 2025) I wonder what Weizenbaum would have thought about the rise of AI warfare.

AI and decision-making.

the most special part is the light. it always comes from very low on the horizon, so it's extra dramatic!

probably that it's an hour drive to the nearest grocery 🥲 also, it's really hard to find any professional (plumber, electrician, etc) willing to come all the way here

me, at every noise our old cracking house makes, while trying to get back to sleep : 👀

my husband is fast asleep but I just had this intense lynx-watching experience that I need to share so thank you bluesky for being there for me, I'm excited/in awe/terrified/worried about our birds/paranoid a lynx will find a way inside my house lol

I've been known to rush outside at any time of night to stare at northern lights... I think I might watch them from inside until next winter 😬 that thing was as big as a tiger.

Living in the subarctic forest has its downsides, but I just observed a lynx in my yard for ten minutes. It triggered our chicken coop's motion activated lamp, so I could see it clearly even though it's 5am. Such a majestic beast.

4 frame comic. the first frame shows Fredrick Brennan, the second shows the 8chan logo, the third shows the 8chan homepage, the fourth shows birds flying out of a tree near a house on a pink sky. the text reads, across the four frames : I was saddened to learn about the recent passing at 31 of fredrick brennan. he was born with brittle bone syndrom, an inherited genetic disease, and early in his life, deve- lopped the belief that people like him should be forcibly sterilized. at 12, he joined 4chan, which further radicalized him into incel culture and white supremacy. when 4chan banned discussions about gamergate, he decided to create the unmoderated 8chan. but after a few years, he realized how his creation brought out the worst in people. he gave the web- site to his associate, and went on to spend the rest of his life back- tracking on the politics of his youth, trying to get the website shut down and making amends. I wouldn't say that we were friends, but we did talk several times. he first reached out to me in 2018 to offer a formal apology for the harassment and doxxing I suffered from 8chan. after that, he kept monitoring the forums, and would let me know whenever people were planning to cause trouble at my public talks and things like that. when I think about brennan's complicated story and legacy, I'm reminded how people can change. his change of heart inspired me to keep creating through hardships. I hope you rest in peace, fredrick. apologies accepted.

Apologies accepted.

omg

comic strip. two men are discussing. one says: you know what scares me? parents allowing their child to be trans. that's child abuse! the other replies : omg! let kids be kids. the first says : exactly! but the second continues : in this case, it means to let trans kids transition so they get to enjoy their childhood instead of feeling broken and unloved because of who they are. not allowing a trans kid to transition won't make them less trans, just miserable and distressed. that's child abuse.

Let kids be kids.

I've had them on repeat for weeks now. Chicoutimi represents 🤟

Huh. He personally apologized for how vile 8chan had been to me, around 2018. He also tipped me whenever 4chan or kiwifarms was doxxing me or family members. He certainly helped me not give up on humans.

"Criss oui" (in French)

4 frame comic. a street journalist (off frame) is in the subway near the stiles, approaching a big man in a khaki hat. he asks : Sir! Do you have an opinion on the "non-binary" Canadian who took a hair salon to court over being asked to chose between male or female haircuts? the man replies : you bet! It's a complete non-story. they've had court precedent that protects gender identity since the nineties. The only reason we're talking about this is because the salon refuses to pay the symbolic $500cad ($360usd) fine. And now, we get another full news cycle demonizing trans people. It's impossible to turn on the radio without hearing some rando chiming in. The national broad- caster even published an interview with a jurist famous for his transphobia today, in which he goes on and on about how this could lead to a full-on social "crisis". The media'S insistence on portraying the most insignificant story about trans and non-binary folks as cause for indignation lays bare its role in exacerbating anti-trans sentiment by fanning the flames of hate for clout. stop using Trans lives as outrage factory fodder.

"Stop using trans lives as outrage factory fodder."

c'est précisément le sujet de ma prochaine BD!

unfortunately I think that because it took another 140 years for former Acadia (NS, NB, PEI) to join Canada, that might be an obstacle, since 18th century Acadians were never Canadian citizens per se. however I'm sure some people are investigating this scenario on the Reddit community!

Many people have requested such wearable designs lately, so I was happy to oblige. Just a bunch of funny, silly, lighthearted designs, yes.
There's also a few variants and other new stuff!

A MAGA trans person (many conflicting reports on their identity right now) killed their son and ex-wife in a rhode island arena and injured several others.

4 frame comic. first frame shows a rhode island street with a police car and yellow "police line do not cross" tape. text reads : conservatives, far-right propagandists and ultra-rich transphobes want you to believe that there is an epidemic of "trans violence". 2nd frame shows a group of heavily armed men against a wall. text reads : they cherry-pick examples to fit their narratives, conveniently leaving out the fact that 97.5% of mass shootings, which mostly only happen in the united states, are carried out by cis men (and 2.03% by cis women). 3rd frame shows a gun in the colors of the american flag. text reads : even when a shooter is indeed trans or gender non-conforming, there is one consistent aspect that unites them all with their cisgender counterparts : they are far-right, gun-loving radicalized maga supporters. fourth frame shows the Dennis M Lynch arena with yellow police tape around it and cars and onlookers. text reads : don't let them use yet another tragedy to scapegoat a community made so vulnerable by years of relentless attacks when the culprits are gun culture and white supremacy.

Don't let them use this tragedy for their hateful agenda.

comic strip where we see a vox pop mic with a voice off asking an elderly woman with a walking stick : "maam! what do you think is the cause of the trans epidemic of violence we're witnessing?" she replies : "what I'm witnessing is an epidemic of violence against the trans community. for a decade now, there has been a conscious effort by the far-right to rush and pin unrelated acts of violence on trans people in order to demonize them and weaken trans rights. The fact is that 98% of mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men, despite being less than half of the population. you don't see me advocating to round up and institutionalize cis men. A third of mass shootings on the planet take place in the U.S. while Americans only make up 5% of the world's population. The U.S. has a gun violence problem, not a trans one.

They're foaming at the mouth.

4 frame comic. it reads, on top of each frame : Give trans kids a chance to be kids without having to fight for the right to exist. first frame shows a kid playing soccer, second shows two kids drawing dinosaurs at a table, third shows a group of friends sitting by a fountain drinking bubble tea and eating chips, fourth shows a kid with long curly hair holding a trans flag.

Give trans kids a chance to be kids.

4 frame comic. a street journalist, off frame, asks someone with long hair exiting the subway : miss! do you think it's fair for biological female athletes to be forced to compete with transgenders? she replies : that's not a question. every year, new studies show that trans women have no inherent athletic advantages over cis women. science and research have settled this already.* *a meta-study published this month in the british journal of sports medicine reviewed 52 studies with 5252 trans athlete participants. https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/60/3/198 what's unfair is how female athletes, cis or trans, must endure constant, unrestrained sexual misconduct throughout their formative years to simply get a shot at competing at an elite level. just last month, a report* showed that 88% of surveyed u.k. elite athletes of the int'l women's sports collective reported sexual misconduct, and 40% reported sexual abuse. 93% of the time, perpetrators were cis men. *"Women’s experiences of sexual misconduct working in UK elite sport," summary report by Lindsey Simpson, 2026

That's not a question.

NHS closed Tavistock over care complaints – there were only eight An eye-opening FOI report has revealed that just eight people complained about the Tavistock gender clinic's care provision in 10 years.

4 frame comic. A woman with a long purple scarf is waiting for the subway. a street journalist approaches her and asks : miss! do you think we're approaching a moment when the public will recognize that allowing children to be transed was a terrible idea? She replies : considering that with each passing day, the public sees how much of the anti-trans movement was engineered by the wealthy to fuel culture war hate on the back of a vulnerable community, I'd say we owe massive apologies to trans people. just this week, we learned that a decade ago, epstein suggested using trans rights as a wedge issue, and that jk rowling's team was courting him. we also learned that what we were told about the closure of the tavi- stock clinic, the only youth clinic in the u.k. for gender-affirmative care, was nothing but lies. rowling's pal hilary cass forced the clinic to close after reports of 1000 complaints from families. we learned this week that it only received eight over 10 years, mostly about delays. in the meantime, the health dep't has been concealing trans children suicide numbers, which we now know rose dramatically following the closure. The terrible idea was always to scapegoat trans kids.

We owe it to these kids to keep fighting for truth to prevail.

i only allow myself a Trump every few months. it's like sweet fizzy drinks for me.. it sounds like a great idea in concept, but a few seconds in and I hate it.

4 frame comic. The author, in a blue dress, is holding some flowers. She says : the mass shooting that happened today in tumbler ridge is one of the worst to ever happen in Canada. my thoughts are with the families of the victims. we are all mourning with you. In the second frame, someone off-frame yells : the shooter was trans! this far-right blog known for its conspiracy theories is citing exclusive anonymous sources! The author replies : what? you said the same thing about every other recent mass shooting. all that we know so far is that authorities said the shooter was "born a girl" and wearing a dress... The off-frame person adds : here are photos of an unrelated trans teenager who lives 2000 km away. it's surely him, you can see the wickedness in his male eyes! The author yells, in the last frame : wtf is wrong with you?!

Ghouls.

congratulations!

having a plan b/escape plan isn't giving up.

Excuse me WHAT
