This year is all about our cock-bearing characters - tell us about yours or ones you loved reading about!

This year's hashtag is #Caulktober . It's good for filling holes, y'know.

I could say that antifa is neither ‘terrorist’ nor an ‘organization,’ but MAGA does not care about facts…this is just about mobilizing a broad label to expand repression and accelerate the march to fascism.

Trump says he’s designating “antifa” a terrorist group and launching a probe into finding of antifa activities. The FBI has long said antifa doesn’t really have a centralized structure or leadership.

The human is relatable, especially to ND people. Not so sure about the lizard twins. They’re very…reptilian in behavior

🐺‼️ Cassius (alpha) and Callisto (omega) have been together since they were 16 and have been causing trouble ever since. They’re the antagonists of my PNR novel, Chimera.
A feminine looking white man with long blonde hair wears a black crop top and short black boxer shorts. He wears pink slippers. He’s sitting down and has his legs crossed. He looks annoyed.
