Lengthy article, too lengthy for alt text, about not fearing anger but recognizing it as a signal of injustice from your brain. You can listen using the link in the post.

Greetings from Minnesota, where three things have happened lately.
1. I*E has totally remained.
2. People got mad.
3. They figured out that anger comes from injustice.
Here's what I said about that on this week's edition of my podcast, Depresh Mode with John Moe.

We’re partnering with Kalshi in an effort to make the world worse and less tethered to any semblance of objective reality, and we’re excited to show you more

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

I let out an audible gasp.

What in the absolute fuck.

There's a dark, dark, history of this. Of forced sterilization.

I am so, so sick.

you’re getting so big!

Time to Fight: H.R. 7661 Call To Action

Art matters. And what do we do with things that matter? We protect them.

Here is information about H.R. 7661, a US book banning bill that explicitly targets books about trans people, and what you can do right now to help stop it.

years ago The Nib (RIP The Nib) ran a comic about media empires and how everything had been conglomerated into 5 companies. I think with Paramount buying Warner Brothers we're down to 2, maybe 2.5 companies? Meanwhile The Nib is dead and all of us in the wilderness are fully knives out at each other

Sorry, forgot to post the Streetwear Stranger from last week 🧢

after speaking with zohran mamdani this afternoon, president trump announced that he will kill himself immediately

Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.

Two of Onfim’s works. On the left is a copy of a passage from the Book of Psalms he did for schoolwork. On the right is an apparently autobiographical depiction of a monster labeled with “I am a wild beast.”

Some more spelling practice by Onfim with some human figures who have round heads and varying numbers of fingers on their big hands.

Onfim’s writing practice accompanied by 7 little people in his particular drawing style, who tend to have very big hands with many fingers.

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

I know I’ve been asking for $ these past few weeks but in light of last night’s barbarism:

if you would like to help trans folks in Kansas get a ride to their nearest DMV + cover any license fees they can’t pay, please consider donating with the comment “TRANS RIGHTS”

chocolate rations are up

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.

it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

Dispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.
