Sorry to everyone who was following me for the art I was posting each day. I've been away from social media for personal reasons for several weeks now & pop back rarely. Not yet ready to get back to posting art daily because it draws me in & I get too stressed. But maybe you'll like my chilled cat?

I was just at a comedy show and the guy next to me says "wow, he's really funny" and his buddy goes "yeah, but that's only because it's his job." I'm going to be thinking about this comment a lot

One tough thing for people who get abducted by ICE is that they have no charges against them, so nobody from the agency is attached to their detainment. They just get held up, roughed up, and robbed of their valuables for no reason until ICE figures that out, and then they get dumped outside.

never forget: you're dealing with the state that captured a confederate flag during the american civil war and has been saying "oh you want it back? come get it then lol" ever since
Folks, if you know any Minnesotan, you'll know that many of us will bring up Minnesota and Minnesota things at every possible opportunity. If we manage to ride out military occupation, we're going to be absolutely insufferable for the next 20 years. Think about what you're risking here.

This week's review covers THE CLINGING VINE (1926), in which Leatrice Joy plays an intelligent and capable businesswoman who learns to play dumb in order to win the man of her dreams.

This film has recently been rebranded as feminist, so I took a look.

Missed this a few days ago:

Two U.S. citizens grabbed by ICE say there were cells reserved for Americans.

Also, they weren’t given medical attention or allowed to go to the bathroom.

Goodnight from Ben Hardaker, still nursing a wassailing hangover that makes him indifferent to pub discussion on whether the Apple Tree Man will give a good crop this year. Goodnight from Pippa Gant, hanging up her eelskin garters after Blood Wide witchery. Goodnight from Hookland.

do not give up your passport either as ICE may confiscate & no telling if a replacement will arrive. they’re disappearing US citizens even if white, cis & born here. indigenous persons also.
We've heard a number of reports now of DHS agents at Whipple confiscating arrestees' phones and refusing to return them. Talked with a guy several nights ago who said they wouldn't give his back, and there were more reports of it last night. Just something to keep in mind/be aware of.

If people who are living in the midst of an invasion tell you that an action you are taking IS UNHELPFUL, the proper response is "thank you so much for letting me know. What would be helpful?"

or You can just STFU and keep it moving. You don't have to have a public meltdown. It's OK.

The Metaverse is a fun and recent example that when tech leaders present something as not only desirable but inevitable, they are talking out of their asses. It's our choice whether or not to go along with them.

In this case, we didn't. Now let's do "AI."
