I love how everyone is all, fuck Jeff Bezos, and then they start posting about season 2 of Fallout. People just can’t give up their Amazon shit even though this douche bag is trying to make Fallout actually come true.

I have a particularly ambitious holiday market schedule coming up. I’ll be staying in production and bringing new things throughout the season. Is there anything in particular you are hoping to find from me this holiday season?

Ok, going to throw an idea out that is a blast from my past. When I was a very radical 18 year old I was convinced by an elder to register as a Republican so I could vote in their primaries so that I could help vote for less radical options. Since the democrats keep fucking us….

Cool, so I went out to decompress from the nightmare of trying to figure out health insurance and think the “solution” is that just one of us gets health insurance for next year because that’s better than both of us going without. How is this the world we live in?

People often tell me that I’m living the dream being a full time artist. Today, friends, it’s not feeling that dreamy.

I’ve been working 10-12 hours a day for about a year now & feel guilty every time I take more than a few hours off or spend any money that’s not a necessity. My stress level couldn’t afford to be higher, but this senate vote has really sent it over the edge. We’re just trying to survive out here.

I know the idea of supporting small businesses is totally played out but if you know self employed artists or creatives right now and have any way to support them it would be a great time to do that. Art is a gift that benefits an artist, the giver, and the receiver all equally.

So, we’re all boycotting flying for the holidays now, right? Because I’m pretty sure I’m losing my healthcare just so people don’t have to have the sads at the airport.

I’ve been keeping up with my daily comics but the last few days have been more me working through my own shit, today is more fit for public consumption.

Oh my god, yes, this, please.
Abolish the Senate.
It's antidemocratic, anti-Black, and classist. It exists solely because the racist founders thought the House of Representatives was TOO democratic and because the southern slavers demanded a house of Congress where they'd have outsized influence.
Get rid of it.

I’m really excited about this class I’ll be teaching in my home studio here in Portland. I get asked often from other artists how I stay focused and inspired with my work and I’m really excited about fostering a space to support others in building a sustainable art practice for themselves.

If you a Democrat Senator and you’re not actively trying to unseat Schumer from his position of minority leader, I will vote against you.
