Good question, a boycott is usually implied but sometimes a union will specifically ask the public not to. Best practice is to go to the unions website and see what they're saying in order to make an informed decision. AFAIK they haven't said not to, so I am boycotting.

Article.
A good read, especially if you're in need of a little bit of hope for the world.

Over the Garden Wall really was a masterclass on how to make a mini-series.

Digital painting of a samurai in red armor and a mino walking though a snow laden forest toward the first torii of a shrine, while carrying a blood soaked bag. In the background visibility fades to white but the faint outline of a mountain can be made out. A cliff face dominates the upper right corner of the piece, and the trunk of a tree dominates the left side in the extreme foreground.

First part of a series I made some time ago. I haven't had much time to paint in the last year so I'd like share some older work until I can make more.

Comic of man by campfire in tattered suit talking to kids as city behind them is in ruins he says "Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created (blatantly edited in with a different font) really bad writing and pictures."

All Waffle Houses in Tallahassee closing as Helene approaches All Waffle Houses in the immediate area are closed effective Thursday, a representative for the chain said.

Oh MAN. This is incredibly serious. Waffle House does *not* do this unless the weather threat is literally catastrophic.

Chief Miles Edward O'Brien, who could strangle you with a cordless phone if he wanted to, is pictured. Chief O'Brien, who can kill 2 stones with 1 bird, is facing the camera and winking. O'Brien, who can dribble a bowling ball, is on DS9 station and wearing his classic gold uniform, and has the energy of a man who is walking away from an explosion without looking backwards at it. Closed caption reads, "He was more than a hero. He was a union man."

I guess people like David Fincher and the Coen bros won't be cutting their films on Premiere Pro any more.

I am hopeful, but after driving through rural NC, you'd be forgiven for having a sinking feeling in your stomach. You also have to consider the extremely active GOP super majority we have, who have proven that there isn't a depth they won't sink to in order to get their way.

That wouldn't happen to be Supreme Court Justice Clarence "$298,500 a year for life just isn't enough" Thomas, sitting member of the highest body of our judicial system, who is regularly bribed by naziphile billionaire, Harlan Crow, would it?
