Capitalism gonna capitalize…

What a goddamn ghoul of a man.

“Boy kibble” is “girl dinner” but worse.

The first comic slide of “reasons to wear a mask 2026” depicts a person wearing a white mask who says “Hell yea!” Around them are bright pastel colors and cute but ominous looking SARS-CoV-2 viruses. Text reading “a lil manifesto about taking care of yourself and others- with over 50 citations! By Gillian Levine.”

This comic slide from “why you should wear a mask 2026” by Gillian Levine extends playful the Long COVID fest concept and depicts a hand holding a sheet from a music festival with facts about Long COVID facts and prevention, stating that everyone is vulnerable and that there is no cure, among other facts.

This comic slide from “why you should wear a mask 2026” by Gillian Levine shows ways to prevent COVID-19 and Long COVID, focusing on the importance of masking.

This comic slide from “why you should wear a mask 2026” by Gillian Levine playfully gives reasons of why to wear a mask using a Monopoly board. Each square represents a different reason to mask, from protecting yourself and others to protecting yourself from other airborne virus. Dice and game board pieces are scattered around.

Artist Gillian Levine recently wrote and illustrated a comic sharing reasons to continue masking in 2026. She kindly gave us permission to republish it.

Oy—and I cannot stress this enough—gevalt.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

I keep thinking about how the propaganda leading to this war was all about how you needed to rescue women and the first thing they did was kill dozens of little girls.

YOU - Where the hood, where the hood, where the hood at?

SHIVERS - HAVE A BROTHER IN THE CUT. WHERE THE WOOD AT?

Beware the ides!

Legal or not, honkerbonkery is always morally just. Bonk your honkers to your heart’s content, for it is right and good.

Beware the Ides of March.

The US killing one and hundred fifty school children in a single attack on Iran has apparently been universally decided to be a non story by the Western press. Not front page news, not in the highlights, instantly memory holed. Profession and institutions worse than worthless.

KIM KITSURAGI - “*Sunrise, parabellum*,” the lieutenant says. He's in the middle of a freshly cleaned room, with the fan above his head like a halo. His face is covered in bruises.

I’m going to be volunteering for my local FNB chapter today because 1) it seems like a better, more actionable use of my time than spiraling about the dire state of the world, and 2) at least I’ll get to help my neighbors who need it.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

Hey! I’d love to be considered for your project. You can check out my demos and resume here:

I hope when it happens, it hurts and he’s scared the whole time.

Yeah, now that you mention it, I guess I would probably get pretty bashful too if a certified hottie like @peachfleurr.bsky.social sent me a DM.

In any case: bad vibes!

Speaking in draft: could be that some (toxic) men have a zero sum mindset when talking with women / femmes. Like, “I’m just here for porn, so why get to know you if you’re not *actually* going to fuck me?” Or discomfort about lowering barriers in general, especially when showing feelings is “gay”?

Industrial sabotage is for lovers

I just wanted a nice, quiet weekend.

The more fool, I.

Sorry if I'm messing things up this is my first time living through a dystopia
