Dan the Gnome

A photo on the mossy floor of a leafy garden. The photo focuses on a purple and green hut with an eyeball that stands on two orange-ish bird legs with purple toes. It's a tiny Baba Yaga shackling

I've been staring at this picture for a few days (using my old work as reference for new work) (how did I do that thing?) (lol)
Anyway you can stare at it for a bit now, also.

A wee Shackling in the garden.

Felted white mouse and badger with foraging buckets filled with wooden bead hawthorn sprigs

“I think we’ve got enough hawthorn berries for the jam now, what’s next?”
“Cheese! All the cheese!”

Mouse is hoping for a home with someone who also buys ALL the cheese for Christmas.
Badger says they’ll bring hawthorns for jam to their new home

Ancient DNA reveals China’s first 'pet' cat wasn’t the house cat The modern house cat reached China in the 8th century. Before that, another cat — the leopard cat — hunted the rodents in ancient Chinese settlements.

Leopard cats! So cute.

Wicked Discourse: Proving that no, no matter how carefully you explain it and how obvious you make it, some people WILL NOT comprehend structural/systemic bigotry, much less the ubiquity and inescapability of its effects.

I read the whole thing. It's really that bad. I just... I don't understand. First we take out mRNA vaccines, one of the most field-shaking developments in medicine in decades. Now we target standard vaccines... The administration USES THESE, whatever their rhetoric! But if they don't exist...

a blue dragon prepares to land on its nest which has two eager dragonlings waiting for it. In the background are pink misty mountains.

'The Brood' - another dragon piece from this year. Also available in my shop with a layaway payment (if desired) over 3 months. Any big pieces like this I would wait to send in January anyway so as not to get lost in the melee of Xmas shipping!

I Know What You Did Last Sumer

A greater sage grouse portrait picture in golden light

Sir. 🪶

I believe it!

Why would it? It's a thing that's existed through presidents of both sides. Until Trump, both parties were notable only in their equal refusal to do anything to make it better and often making it worse.

Trump just happens to be making it LOTS worse, faster.

I used to think a *LOT* about "what if I did X differently." And then I married my Blue, husbeast @thorotonbrewer.bsky.social and I really don't anymore, because almost any other choice anywhere in my life would likely have made me miss out on the man who made me believe in the word, "Forever."

I like how he looks like he has lazy eye.

Media can make anything seem common or widespread even as the numbers are still vastly outrun by people being denied accommodation that needs them. 30 wheelchairs a day are damaged by airlines in the US. American Airlines was so bad they were fined for it in 2004

See the thing is that at the absolute HEIGHT of this being “so widely abused” I had friends getting turned down for Lift and Uber rides because of actual seeing eye dogs. I had a friend who couldn’t go see family because the airline said “no” to letting her dog on the plane.

One of the prime reasons I refuse to use rodent poisons is because I love seeing all the things that come to eat the rodents - from gopher snakes to owls. Chip in if you can!

Please signal boost. Need a wheelchair tech who can help troubleshoot in Silver Spring, MD.

" The long-term vision is to financialize everything and create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion."

It's like they looked at NFTs and said, "This just isn't horrifically stupid enough. How do we make it even worse?"

Well, now we know they know he is definitely in dementialand.

Also, OH COME ON!!

And not even a “big” election!

OK that rocks

Wut

So yeah, if you're represented by a Republican in a district that was carried by less than 20 points, tomorrow would be a good day to call and demand that the ACA subsidies continue.

There’s The Ables but it does what a lot of comics stuff does where it’s there but it doesn’t seem to affect them much.

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.

Absolutely this. The idea that 20% of a student body couldn't be disabled is an expression of ableism (not understanding disability) but also an implicitly normative statement -- that 20% of students shouldn't be disabled.

It’s wild how much it’s changed even in the last ten years
