being a writer is amazing because one hour you can have a spiraling existential crisis and the next you can write 500 words like nothing happened 🙃

‘Abolish ICE’ has become an increasingly popular position and people are being shot in the streets over it why the fuck would you dillweeds roll over like this. Especially given that citizenship is much more friable than people think it is this is not as protective as dems want it to look.

A six-panel comic titled "Wildlife Tracking Tips". In panel 1, the text says "A white-tailed deer traveled through here," and there are white-tailed deer prints in fresh snow. In panel 2, the text says "An American Red Squirrel came by," and the leap marks of a red squirrel are in the snow. In panel 3, the text says "A Snowshoe Hare passed through," and there are the distinctive fluffy-footed marks from a snowshoe hare jumping across the snow. n panel 4, the text says "The Snowshoe Hare found a sword," and one of the front paw marks in the track has been replaced with a long thin line running alongside the track. In panel 5, the text says "The Snowshoe Hare is dual wielding," and both front paw marks have been replaced with long thin lines. In panel 6, the text says "The Snowshoe Hare tamed a mount, vastly increasing its jumping distance. You should run," and the Snowshoe Hare trail runs into a deer track and disappears.

Wildlife tracking tips. A wintry comic from last year.

Movies aren’t always meant to be shunted into categories of like and don’t like. If you leave the theater or press “exit” and you’re thinking “Ok I don’t know about some of that, I have thoughts,” congratulations you’re engaging with art! Its own special thing.

This Thanksgiving remember the cranberry sauce, but forget the Marijuana.

Terry was convinced to take a "toke" of a joint with his friend "just to relax". Immediately after, Terry killed his friend who had given him the marijuana in a murderous craze. Not so safe, is it?

Marijuana. Not Even Once.

Ad Council

remember, folks,

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIWR) | NIWRC

It feels really performative at this point, but a reminder that it’s National Day of Mourning for Native folks

Relatedly, thousands of Native women are still disappearing and agencies are doing fuck all about it

Absolutely wild. She was 8 when she entered the country. An unjust system is to blame here.

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.

I miss the era of when shows had so many episodes they would have to do holiday episodes.

You're told it'll sabotage your career if you're a vocally politically opinionated, queer, woman. But things sabotaging my career are systemic xenophobia, sexism, and horrible job market. Which are a direct consequences of people not being vocally opinionated in the first place.

Okay, so you cannot avoid a Thanksgiving event, and it’s not entirely under your control. You’re home from college, you live with your parents, your spouse isn’t ready to process how awful their natal family is. It happens. THERE ARE STRATEGIES YOU CAN EMPLOY TO YOUR BENEFIT.

Nanotyrannus attacking a young Tyrannosaurus is super common in paleoart especially in the last few weeks. Won’t stop me from depicting it too. Enjoy the new #watercolor. #paleoart

The Tech Company Bringing Surveillance Dystopia to Your Town Flock claims that its technology will literally eliminate crime. But what it’s unleashing may be just as insidious.

Saw a sign about Flock cameras in my podunk home town the other day and it gives me so much heart to see how pissed off people are about this.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

There are many good science fiction novels. Not a single one that I have read delivers a happy vision of the future in which aged right-wing billionaires control the media.

A photo of three people in inflatable frog suits outside an ICE detention center in Portland, overlaid with an excerpt from Exodus 8:2-6

"But if you refuse to let them go, I will
plague your whole country with frogs...
The frogs shall come up on you and on
your people and on all your officials."
