Emily Riesbeck, Haunted Doll @emilyriesbeck.bsky.social · 1d

A lonely rag doll, desperate to be loved, stows away inside a gift box.

CHILDISH THINGS by @binaryandlove.bsky.social and I is available now for purchase as part of the Spin Rack Comics Jam! Check out ours and other comics here: itch.io/b/3344/spin-...

the cover for Childish Things by Emily Riesbeck and Julie Jerche. A rag doll with button eyes holds open the jaws of a pair of scissors that threaten to cut her.

page 1 for Childish Things by Emily Riesbeck and Julie Jerche. In the window of a toy store, the rag doll watches other toys bechosen and purchased. Wanting this for herself, she sneaks up to a section of gift boxes, pushes one open, and slips inside.

Page 2 for Childish Things by Emily Riesbeck and Julie Jerche. The Doll falls into the box and replaces the lid. The box begins to shake, and she peeks out to see that someone has bought her!

Page 5 of Childish Things by Emily Riesbeck and Julie Jerche. The rag doll struggles against a hand that reaches to one of her button eyes and pulls it right from her face. Then, the same hand brandishes a pair of scissors, threatening to cut her.

Imagine Russia conquers 20% of America.

Then someone says, eh, it's cool, those millions of Americans should just get used to it.

How hard would you tell that person to shove it?

"Liberal". "Progressive". "Socialism". "Politically correct". "Obamacare". "Critical Race Theory". "Woke". "DEI". Now "Antifa". The GOP has a long, long history of appropriating innocuous words and turning them into tools for rallying hate and fear.

It’s time for someone to let Trump in on a little secret

Last month, Donald Trump signed an Executive Order formally designating “antifa” a domestic terrorist organization.Vowing to unleash the full might of unrestrained federal firepower against its member...

So we can't afford universal healthcare. We can't afford USAID. We can't afford to help anybody, ever.

But THIS, we can afford. The ballroom, we can afford. The golf trips, the parade, tearing up the Rose Garden, that's in the budget.

I constantly draw strength from the fact that my parents grew up when it was worse than this. When white people were lynching people in the streets and bombing Black churches and integrated schools. And they still did not live in fear. My parents thrived, loved, and lived. And I can too.

So a 14 year old girl is mature enough to give birth. But a 31 year old man isn’t mature enough to know nazis and gas chambers are wrong.

I think this tells me everything I need to know about republicans.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.
