Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text. -- Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

We have always been here. We have served in the military - see Albert Cashier, who joined the Union Army during the Civil War. There has never been a time without trans people and there never will be.

Gov. Pritzker makes me want to move back home. We need more people like him in government. People willing to fight for others, not their own pocketbooks.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Liz from Questionable Content is exuding bisexual polyam goblin energy and I absolutely love her character. She took a minute to grow on me but I'm glad she's a regular part of the cast now because she's just me.

For the past month @ass.golf has been posting his thoughts on old strips from his webcomic instead of new strips. It’s been really interesting to see his thoughts on it after following for so damn long. Everyone deserves a break (Indie artists even more so) and this was a great way to do it.

as far as i am aware as long as it’s kosher wine it’s good to use. but then i am an extremely casual barely-practicing jew so i’m probably not the best resource 😅 also, reform, conservative, orthodox, …? that might matter. different rabbis might give different info.

I’m all about the tea life. I recently bought a gongfu tea set after years of being into good proper tea. my adhd ass appreciates the added bit of casual ritual. Plus who doesn’t like cute animals on their tea tray? This one’s Lucy the Lucky Cat.

I am the hot biker chick of your nightmares.

I am far too excited to finish my motorcycle. Can I get it done before Christmas is the real question though

It's such a bad time to be in *checks notes, squints* Literally Any Industry
