If you cut a worm in half, it will regenerate into two new worms. One will forgive you, and the other will seek revenge.

Nature is crazy.

this week's post is something i've been thinking about for a long time. it's called "all of us imperfect comrades: or, an army of fuckups cannot lose"

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

I'd like to thank my 12 year old self who thought mirrored handwriting was a Very Important Life Skill - they were correct, though not yet a printmaker!

If you fuck in Saint Paul, you fuck in real life!

You can build yourself a garden,
You can cover it in green.
But my dear, I beg your pardon,
How do you keep your little fingers clean?

3 GREAT ZINES, 1 GREAT BUNDLE PRICE!

You, a verified adult, can also make your own horny stories, drawings, and meet other human beings in fairly simple and more ethical ways!

You can pay artists and sex workers for their creations too!

*deep sigh*

linocut print of purple text that says "the Wormsona workbook" on what will be the front of a zine and a print of Levi's business card on what will be the back cover. The text looks like it's made out of worms

Purple is hard to mix and as is customary I think only like half of the attempts I made on the nice paper look any good oops

otherwise

stay tuned for

The Wormsona Workbook

Exercises for connecting with and embodying your inner worm

Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.

the part I hated didn't print correctly so I slathered like half the block in wood putty

I think the answer this is gonna be "work on something else"

Good news: probably finishing another woodcut in time for mqtzf!

Bad news: at that point in the process where I completely hate it

Gays and perverts, adversaries and friends,

ICE went after rideshare drivers at O’Hare today, according to statement from Illinois Drivers Alliance

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Abbie Hoffman is proud

Yes, forcing users to upload documents for age verification is going to end very badly.

Collecting sensitive documents, like ID is an especially bad idea.

Do not collect shit that you do not need to collect, ever.

If it's not collected it can't be leaked.

That is all.

not as high as they used to be but certainly higher than I can handle

ok now that my hot take is out of the way

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Is antitrust law ever gonna go after Ticketmaster?

Yes I'm an unreasonable fan having a deeply goofy time but

I think it could be better ya know

If you're watching the situation in Chicago from afar & want to help, on the off chance you have spare $$, you can give to the Midwest Immigrant Bond Fund, which posts "bond for individuals held in the custody of ICE w ties to IL, IN, KY & WI who cannot afford to pay"

When governments begin attacking speech or speakers, platforms quickly begin to comply to avoid potential regulation.

Pushing to regulate "pornography" have meant greater policing of sex, sexuality, reproductive care and queer and women's bodies more generally. Absolutely looking forward to this.

ahhh I am JUST finding out about this! What a bummer I am too late!

Currently at:
— only buy tech too old to have AI built in
— painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well
— if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool
— if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts
— patiently wait for the crash

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Judge issues blistering opinion against Trump policy to deport pro-Palestinian students Judge rules non-citizens have the same free speech rights as US citizens under the first amendment
