New York, USA — September 9, 2025. A man reacts following a confrontation with federal agents on the 12th floor of 26 Federal Plaza, outside immigration courtrooms.

Somewhere a tree is working tirelessly to produce the oxygen you burned writing that. Go find it and apologize.

Coming up November 8th is the tenth annual Nucleus Portland Postcard Show! I have four postcards, an experiment in pink and green.

"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.)

Me, two hours later, splattered in paint: here you go

Tiny art critic: could use more yellowish tint there

Me: you get what you get and you’re gonna wear that pea coat we just got from Target for $50 again

This is the Punisher Skull, worn by an ultraviolent vigilante, though nowadays it’s more likely to have a blue line in it cause the bearer doesn’t remotely comprehend the source material.

This is an asshole skull, not a Nazi skull. It can be worn by Nazis, but it wasn’t made for that. 3/x

A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.

Here is what hasn’t been a problem: My students. I worried they would be resistant. They haven’t been. They have been game since day one, all in on the project. If I had to guess, I think they like how serious it feels. Like they are being taken seriously as scholars

A man who can't tell the difference between his human wife, with her own thoughts, experiences, and ideas, and a virtual object.

Because they "look alike."

And we're the hysterical ones.

The 10 year old designed / drew the pumpkin face and it’s got a grizzled tabloid reporter from the 70s vibe where I imagine it starting every sentence with “listen, kid…” and I feel like it needs a cigar in its mouth.

I think it's awesome they can still do heists in France. That shit rocks. It's like 40% of the reason to even have a museum

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

so here’s the thing, Bari, you’re running an organization full of weapons-grade gossips who hate you www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/b...

I know I’m extremely late to the party, but I enormously enjoyed @tkingfisher.com’s Nettle & Bone. Just a terrific read about human characters who happen to be Princesses and Witches on a crazy road trip to kill a dude who has it coming. 5 stars from me, will read again.
