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.

by this time next year, we want ICE agent to be one of the most miserable, soul destroying, hated jobs in america, we want parking enforcement to look like a dream job by comparison

GHOULLIKEHELLMACHINE @golikehellmachine.com · 14h

the thing is, all that knock off amazon operator gear you bought to look tough and scary just looks fucking silly when you are being gyrated at by someone wearing an inflatable frog costume and being mooned by a naked bagpiper on a unicycle, it just doesn’t work, the self image cannot hold

Schnorkles O'Bork @schnorkles.bsky.social · 15h

It should not be understated how much clever shit like this actually annihilates morale at places like ICE/CBP.

Getting made fun of like this on national television while people laugh at you is.. well, you may call it victory wine, but it ain't.

Also, This is my final convention for this year (and also probably my final tabling event for the year as well)! So if you've been hoping to catch me at an in-person event before the year closes out, this is probably your last chance!

Finished up a wolf pawprint tapestry!! Still shaking the dust off my sewing skills after not using them for a while, so there’s definitely some flaws on this tapestry, but I’m still happy with how it turned out!!

An illustration of formline wolves charging across a foggy lake with hills and mountains in the distance.

An illustration of a snowy clearing lined with snowy pine trees. In the sky above is the green and pink aurora borealis, and in the foreground are two anthropomorphic lynxes in formline style. They are both sitting, and one's paw is raised towards the northern lights.

A formline design of a monster head. The creature has protruding fangs and long, sharp incisors that stick out. They also have sharp horns sticking out from their forehead and pointy, ungulate-esque ears. They are coloured a deep teal and highlighted with light forest green and yellow.

A picture of a 4 x 6 inch sticker sheet. The sheet design has a worn paper texture to it, and has several ink and stain marks on it. The sticker designs consist of six mythical medieval monsters in formline design; a wyvern, a gargoyle, a unicorn, a sea horse, a basilisk, and a gryphon.

Drawing of a brown-skinned androgynous person with long straight black hair looking back at the viewer. They have a handkerchief in one hand, and are sweating under the sun. In the background there’s the shape of a crowd with banners and strange musical instruments, congregated around the huge arch of a gate, for which the keystone is being set in a ceremony.
This piece is an illustration for the first chapter of Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness

Illustration of a long-haired man sleeping. There are worlds melting in his hair, the skyline of Portland before him and Mount Hood in the background. This piece is an alternate cover for The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin

Illustration of two hands reaching for each other. One of them is darker than the other, and they both have cracks that glow with light. Between them is a glowing star, and they are surrounded by a swirl of darkness and light, that remind the night sky and snow.
It is an alternate cover for The Left Hand of Darkness, by Ursula K. Le Guin

Illustration of a naked androgynous figure in a cave surrounded by black monsters that remind marine creatures. The person is drawing on a book while looking and touching the monsters. The person has a hole in the chest, filled by a glowing speck of light. They also have glowing eyes, as do the monsters.
The person's n1pples are censored due to BlueSky consistently flagging the image as adult content.
