For every well-meaning white person saying "this isn't America," I need you to grab a history book for grown ups, one written by someone in the BIPOC community.

I love the vision you have for us, but we can't get to good without a hard look at how evil our system is, for wealthy white male benefit.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Bookshop.org is SIX today. 🥳

In these six years, we’ve raised over $44 MILLION for local bookstores—and we have all of YOU to thank for that.

Thank you for loving and supporting indie bookstores as much as we do.

Families shouldn't have to fear seeking basic medical care.

Children shouldn't be afraid to leave their homes.

People shouldn't be shot and killed for filming federal agents.

Not one more penny for ICE.

If you work for ICE, quit now.

Your chances for future employment, meaningful friendships, and frankly, not getting shanked in prison are already pretty slim, but if you quit RIGHT NOW you might avoid the worst of what is coming.

Especially if you blow some whistles, and then testify.

stop cranking for a minute remember to hydrate!

sometimes i'll check the accounts reposting my little critter monk drawings and they'll just be sandwiched between massive walls of porn and i feel like the chillout table at an orgy handing out bottled water and orange slices.

comic: when it happens I hope people ring bells and blow horns. if I'm asleep I hope to be woken. I won't mind. if I'm in traffic I hope to see revelers. If it causes a traffic jam I won't mind. I don't want to exist a moment not knowing that it has happened.

Lil' comic about hope and longing 💗

The instant a professional organisation or convention uses “AI” is the moment it shows itself unworthy of prestige or member money.

It’s that simple.

Maybe I'm an outlier, but:

If I see a book that looks even vaguely interesting to me and it's a dollar? I buy it. Even if I have no idea when or if I'll get to it.

Please shout about your books that are on sale. I promise you: your followers aren't going to be mad about it.

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

TOP & REASONS WHY ICE IS SPOTIFY'S #1 FAN 1) Spotify is running ICE ads in between your favorite songs 2) Spotify claims that ICE recruitment ads DID NOT violate it's ad policies 3) While ICE terrorizes communities, Spotify is helping boost their recruitment efforts 4) Spotify would rather be wrapped in complicity to ICE's terror than refuse ICE ad money indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

As long as Spotify is willing to take money from ICE, they don’t need (or deserve) free advertising for Spotify Wrapped: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

Let's talk about sidewalks. Portland needs:
- More sidewalks (especially in East Portland)
- Sidewalks not to have obstructions in the middle of them
- Sidewalks to be maintained and free of debris

That is a bare minimum. We all deserve safe ways to get around our community.

Swan Brothers It happened one summer that a curse fell on my family. The details arent important. We could be here all night with who married whom and who cursed what. There was a curse, thats all you need to know....

Science people, is there any benefit to feeling like you've been hit in the head with a mallet every time the weather shifts? Being a barometer before actual barometers would've been useful, but we have devices for that now.

Thank you for this!

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

This was a tough one, because it's my first time recording while drawing, and I don't have a proper setup. The tripod/phone were in the way ALL THE TIME, and I couldn't sit down, so I was ass up and bent over while doing it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). 10 minutes compressed to 30 seconds.

Also, darlings, if you cannot lie, go pick up some hydrocortisone cream. Put a tiny bit on a bug bite. On a fingernail, if you'd rather not absorb it. Wipe it off.

You have used a corticosteroid, and you officially qualify for the vaccine everyone needs.
