I'm Skutch. I draw stuff. I mostly do editorial illustration, portraits and character illustrations but I've recently begun work on my first graphic novel!

I love it when zionist bring up land back in America as if that would be a bad thing. Please, by all means, see their anti-colonial struggles as one in the same. Please do highlight how you're not different from manifest destiny in the slightest

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

“Rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the ICE raids and money for legal aid and other services are among the provisions in the declaration.”

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Always really interesting that the super smart™️ and well regarded people always consider disabled people a nuisance. Coincidence I guess!

40%+ of Covid cases are asymptomatic. I guarantee if you don't care to mask you do not care to test yourself systematically either....

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 1d

yeah, i think a commitment to public health obligates you to get vaccinated and, when you are sick, do what you can to avoid spreading that to other people. the demand that one mask at all times in public spaces is, i think, unreasonable.

I remember as a kid I posted on Facebook that Israel sterilizing Ethiopians because they were Black was wrong and was told I was antisemitic lol.

They were also racist towards him even when he paid to stay in a "nice area". A contradiction so American that it's painful. Is he supposed to just ignore the parallels lmao??

Ta Nehisi Coates went to a country that imposed a military dictatorship onto five million people on the arbitrary basis of race and came away thinking that that's bad and some people are still angry with him because of that

It took my mom passing out in the ER with an A1C of 15 to be diagnosed with diabetes after being sick for months! She saw several doctors and not one checked her A1c or blood sugar, simple blood tests. If you don't speak up for yourself and your Black body these systems will let you die.

Pixie Thinks🧚🏽‍♀️ @pixiethinkss.bsky.social · 18h

Advocate for yourself and your loved ones in medical spaces! Don't let medical professionals ignore you or downplay your concerns. Ask for refusals of care to be added to your chart. Seek 2nd, 3rd, 4th opinions if you have to. Listen to your body and intuition when you feel something is wrong.

Maybe:…… @getthebagcoach.bsky.social · 19h

Black adults who live in the United States have a 59% higher risk of premature death than other races…… if you have access to healthcare fasho go get checked… if you feel uncomfortable get a loved one to come with you ❤️

Never forgot how he talked about how he was being treated. It really affected him to be seen as a sex symbol. His artistry is his legacy, I hope he is proud of the impact he made with his music because he really did make one.

Thighclops @angelo2firstnames.bsky.social · 20h

D’Angelo has spoken against his sex icon image. He was pushed into that by the label and hated when he was on tour and ladies were treating him like a stripper. I hope in his passing we can celebrate his incredible musicality and dedication to the craft. 🌚
