A bystander took a heart-wrenching picture of Liam Ramos in his hat and Spiderman backpack, and there was pressure, and he and his father are free. We must not forget all the prisoners still in the camps whose names and faces are known only to their loved ones. We must make miracles for them, too.

The home secretary is fucking disgusting there is no ‘seamless” way of inflicting the violence of deporting children to a country they’ve never been to

Night after night, Israel violates the false ceasefire. The sounds of their bombs terrorize Sama'a's little girls, who have never known peace. Please give what you can to help them.

WHN graphic with a pale, enlarged illustration of a SARS-CoV-2 particle in the background and the whn.global logo at the top left. A teal line reads: “This is the first of a series of posts on Long COVID by David Brasure.” Big headline in black: “COVID isn’t a cold. It’s cigarettes all over again.” Footer line: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.”

WHN graphic on a light background with whn.global logo top left and teal line: “This is the first of a series of posts on Long COVID by David Brasure.” Large headline: “People feel ‘fine’ … until they’re not. Every infection leaves a physiological footprint.” Body text: “Research continues to show that COVID can cause inflammation, microclotting, and tissue injury across multiple organs — even after ‘mild’ or asymptomatic cases. Like smoking in the mid-century, the harm isn’t always immediate. People lived their lives normally until, suddenly, they couldn’t. Your body is keeping score.” Footer line with WHN mission: “The World Health Network is a network devoted to global compassion—working together to inspire collective action through science for a safer, healthier world.”

We’re five years into the pandemic, and the science is telling a very different story than “just a cold.” COVID affects blood vessels, organs, metabolism, and cognition — and the impacts compound with each infection.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Stock of Spotify over last month showing sharp decline, from near $700 in value to $615.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

a line drawing of two heads in profile, maybe the same person or in conversation - they are speaking in symbols

a line drawing of a bear wearing a little cami & strappy heels, while looking a bit sheepish. shy teddy ‘felt cute, might delete later’

a comic panel line drawing of two figures facing one another, both weeping as an ant soul ascends from its body. lots of rubber stamped ants surround the panel, the stamps are so close together that where the legs and antenna meet they form a border pattern

a huffing (farting?) creature wearing a pair of knickers strides along a comic panel. there’s more ants but no proof these have entered the aforementioned pants

Page 5. To revel in the open wound, to take them from the outside world to inside of myself, make them answerable to me and me alone. What better way is there, really, to do this than thru comics? Last panel is my reflection in the mirror as I draw on my tablet. My hair is long and I'm sat on my bed in my boxers, focused.

(2/2) Thanks for reading :)

title: nauma in "I can't draw this!" for noah's ark IV Narration: It was really hard for me to think of what to draw for this theme because I'm at a place in my career where I'll draw anything for a biscuit. Panel shows a hand holding a biscuit emerging from a curtain saying "6 nipples, 21 toes, 14 cocks, 7 heads..." I impatiently draw at a tablet saying "YA just leave the money on the table!!!" Narration: But when I really think about what I'm embarrassed to show anyone... I guess... it's like... pretty... girls... in dresses... Panel shows a girl tucking her hair behind her ear. I'm starting to blush. Narration: and they get fucked??? (usually by men...) I... Panel shows a beautiful girl with curly hair in lingerie tied in ropes while a hand burns her thighs with a cigarette. I look dismayed.

Page 2. Narration: I... isn't this so HETERONORMATIVE and BORING? I used to be so smug about my niche tastes, and now I'm nothing special!!! But it was a big deal for me to get here. Flashback to a few years ago where I'm sobbing in front of a mirror, my hair short. I think "GOD I really treat myself like SHIT! I don't treat myself like a person let alone a girl. I just treat myself like some THING! (I was so cute with short hair tho.) I had received plenty of this growing up, but now as an adult I found myself alone holding the whip. (Where did everyone go?) And I wanted out. In images of beautiful girls I saw a personhood not afforded to me. I hated them, but I wanted to be them. Like Prometheus, I wanted to poach that divine flame. Panels show grainy classical images of girls with long hair, pretty dresses, skinny limbs, etc.

Page 3. So I made new stories. I drew up these women that didn't exist outside of me. They existed because of me. Drawing is kinda based in this way. From your hand to the line and back into your brain, it becomes possible to craft a new relationship with yourself. (drawing porn especially is really good for this)

Page 4. To be clear, it would be wrong to say I uncovered some primal truth or became emancipated from the social order and history which stripped me of my personhood in the first place. Any wounds I've endured are alive and well within me. And I want to ask: why heal at all? (And heal into what?) Panel shows Botticelli's venus with a gash in her stomach. Ultimately what I did was decide to show an interest in myself. To become instrumental in my pleasure as well as my misery. Panel shows me walking home on my street.
