Stay safe, everyone. Stay alive. Get weird with it if that's what helps you live your values. Be here; be queer. Protect your friends and loved ones. This ride ain't over yet.

Journos need to always challenge the right-wing framing of "antifa" being a specific organisation that can be banned or restricted. Just straight up be like "but that's nonsense, it doesn't exist" every time

This is why the costumes are honestly brilliant. Ngo, who has never said a truthful thing in his entire life (remember the concrete milkshake?) now has to convince people inflatable Sesame Street and animal costumes are violent terrorists.
Sometimes you just need an image too silly to demonize.

People make fun of me when I take the ribs off their plate that they did not eat to completion but frankly it's on you if you didn't eat them properly
I get roasted by the fam cuz when I eat chicken wings I leave the bones (including the tiny wing ones) dry and bleached like a fallout death screen, but I just like cartilage alot. Same applies to ribs and stuff of that nature, so I felt your fish example.

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

It is always fun when a fan asks for a character from Legion of Super-Heroes.
Here is Lightning Lad show commission I did at Paris Manga and Sci-Fi show. All done with markers, brush pen and white ink.

I liked when James Baxter used to do occasional guest spots on animated TV shows. I assume studios had a bat signal for him, except instead of a static bat it was a horse running in perspective towards the camera while the camera rotated around it

DOOM gave us more than demon-slaying. It gave us some of gaming’s most lovingly crafted asses. 🍑 Full feature: buff.ly/sliFkBm #DOOM #ThiccDemons

The term 'political violence' exists to manufacture an artificial distinction between the violence of capital and the state against the working class and any violence against capital and the state, expressly so that the former can be tacitly endorsed while the latter is condemned.

It seems like we're experiencing a sort of rerun of the political violence of the 1960s—except this time we have the internet cooking everyone's brains. None of this leads anywhere good.

folks, I've never lived through years of mass political violence but I do study it for a living: you don't want to live through years of political violence.

oh no is the right wing demanding crackdowns, martial law, and masked secret policemen disappearing you or shaking you down for papers? all because of this specific incident!
pretty astonishing to see people celebrating Charlie Kirk getting shot when this is the dominant reaction on X, and it will only continue to grow over the next few days

I keep saying this. The Right fundamentally are *not* hypocrites. They believe in double standards. For them, double standards are correct, inevitable, and desirable, because the idea that certain groups are better than others and should therefore have more rights is the basis of right-wing ideology
No, the fake “free speech” crowd isn’t going to defend the professor fired for teaching exactly what her course was about. We can stop noting those “failures” now. Let’s move on from calling them hypocrites. They’re not hypocrites! They’re fascists, authoritarians, or apologist.

Of course, because propaganda doesn't work well unless you remove the truth first.
1. You may have heard of book bans before, but the new one in Alabama takes the cake.
The Alabama Public Library Service has a new proposal that would ban—get this—only "positive depictions" of trans people.
The hearing is next month. Public comment is open.

This week, the House begins reviewing the NDAA—the spending plan for the Defense Department.
We should be focused on passing a bipartisan bill that works for all Americans, but my Republican colleagues are too busy introducing over 15 amendments that discriminate against LGBTQ+ service members.

“There is no place for political violence in this country” say the politicians using legislation and rhetoric to attack trans people, immigrants, women and BIPOC daily. Just because it’s done with a pen and not a gun doesn’t mean it’s not political violence. Hypocrites. Not that they care.
