“Joe Strummer prepared you for times like these.” Actually no, I was born a little too late for The Clash. I’m more of the “Front 242 prepared you for times like these” generation. What musician prepared YOU?

#inktober Day 1: I’ve decided I’m not going to follow the prompts this year and instead I’m going to draw eldritch horrors from the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Madness and horror are totally in this year, have you heard?

“What is SOBRIETY, Pete Hegseth?”

I sure hope there is a drag king somewhere named Big Beautiful Bill.

I feel about Trump the way I felt about my sister’s cancer. I just want him to GO AWAY and stop threatening people I love.

I lived in Portland for six years and the most violent thing I ever saw there was this wallpaper…

Is it just me or did generative AI appear at the worst possible moment in human history?

From the desk of “Never Wrong” Sarah Jeong:

May peace prevail #uninternationaldayofpeace

If you're looking for a positive governmental effort to engage with, here's a good one: 19thnews.org/2025/09/lgbt...

I was looking for a sign.

Let ABC know how you feel about their bowing to the thugs in power and cancelling Jimmy Kimmel's show: support.abc.com/hc/en-us/req...

I love Alien Earth as much as you do, but if we don’t all cancel our Disney+ accounts ASAP we’re gonna be living in that dystopia for realsies. Send a message. #StandWithJimmyKimmel

I don't have enough knowledge so can you tell me has there ever been a "think-tank" that wasn't just a boy band for enforcing the status quo

@dylanmeconis.bsky.social This photo of the kittehs just popped up in my memories feed today. I sure miss these two!

They say don’t feed the trolls, but HOLY TOLEDO, I actually got a transphobe to concede her bigotry was cruel and unjustified today. Perhaps there is hope.

It's like staying up late to see if Santa is real but we're hoping Santa's dead

Bluesky right now ...

Happy birthday to Liz Fraser, vocalist for the #CocteauTwins and patron goddess of every 1980s college dorm ecstasy orgy.

Portland friends, stay cool today!

Three years ago today, eating in a small restaurant in the Swiss Alps. I asked the owner if I could have a side of vegetables with my schnitzel and dumplings. She looked at me funny, went back into the kitchen, came back and placed a slice of carrot on my plate.  That’s the story.

As a punk teenager in the 1980s I speculated a lot about what Fascism in America would look like. I thought the fascist leader would be a handsome, articulate, zealous, Christian military veteran who actually embodied those macho right wing / Evangelical values. Instead we got…… this.

My favorite Zen Master was Shinran, who, on his deathbed, reportedly thrust out his hand, and with his final breath said, “Quick, somebody give me some money!”

Who is your favorite Native American woman author? Fiction or nonfiction, looking for recommendations.

Happy birthday to Lyudmila Pavlichenko (born July 12, 1916), Soviet sniper in World War II, with 309 confirmed kills. A true role model for today.

My favorite anti-fascist Easter egg in the new #Superman movie (and there are so many) is the Hawaiian shirts worn by Lex Luthor’s incel foot soldiers— a nice lil FU to the “Boogaloo Boys” 😁

I did a guided meditation where I contacted my future self, and the new plan is (a) make it through this year, (b) move to Portland, (c) transition to non-binary, and (d) write fantasy novels. I might do comics again, but I have to see how this whole generative AI “art“ thing shakes out.

I am perched in a bar in the Castro on a Friday night before Pride Weekend, and a new thing I’ve observed is young gay men greet one another by flipping each other off & then pulling down their pants to moon each other & what amazes me is how smooth and hairless their asses are. WHAT’S THEIR SECRET?

Congratulations, New York!

Schroedinger’s ceasefire

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Good news! Happi, the owner of my neighborhood sushi bar, passed her citizenship test today! It’s a night to celebrate! My box of Demon Slayer sake was inscribed by a polyamorous throuple in 2009. Terrible things may be afoot, but for just this moment in this sushi bar all is well with the world.

I have a confession to make. I’ve never been able to finish the movie Tetsuo, the Iron Man. I’ve tried watching it three times now and I just can’t. Has anybody actually seen the full thing? And if so, can you give me any reason for watching it to the end?

It was good day to whip fascism. #NoKingsDay

In a sane timeline, I would be spending my Friday night writing a think piece about Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor, not duct taping a wad of bail cash and a vial of emergency meds into my fanny pack for tomorrow’s anti-fascist demonstration. But here we are!

For what it’s worth, I’ve only been tear-gassed once in my life, and my takeaway lesson is this – do NOT try to wipe the gas away from your eyes, you will only make it 1000 times worse. Figure out which direction the wind is blowing, and walk into the wind. This is the way.

I am shocked once again by the uncanny resemblance of 18-year old Björk to my 7th-grade Dungeon Master, Pete Cisley.

Dove into Criterion’s Gene Hackman collection tonight and started with Night Moves, it was perfect “Who’s winning?” “Nobody. One side’s just losing slower than the other.”

I hope they don’t reconcile. I don’t want this to end with pianos and hugs. I want it to end with a single, shrill note from a bamboo flute, like you’d hear at the end of a samurai movie whose final shot is a crow flapping down on a pile of bloody corpses to peck out the Shogun’s left eyeball.

I made this cartoon a few months ago, decided I might as well share it now. So long, Elon!

Currently eating at a sushi bar and the sound system is playing a Japanese woman singing an a capella version of “Dust in the Wind” and OMG it is probably the greatest cover of any song I’ve ever heard.

CLIONA IS GOING TO BE RELEASED!!!!!!! Thank you everyone who supported her and her family during this time ❤️ www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

I thank you Representative Jimmy Pannetta @usrepjimmypanetta for the courageous support you have given my friend Cliona in her fight for freedom. May she return to her family in Santa Cruz as quickly as possible.

Apropos of nothing, I have personally known 30 people in my life so far who had cancer. Only three of them died. All of the others lived, and are now cancer-free. If you’re battling cancer right now, please don’t give up hope! May the odds be ever in your favor.

It just makes no sense. ICE is keeping my friend Cliona locked up for 6 months before her deportation hearing. WHY??? They worried she’s a flight risk? That she might flee the U.S. and never come back? ISN’T THAT WHAT THEY WANT?

Update on my friend Cliona: she is looking at several months in prison awaiting her deportation hearing, after initially being told her hearing would be held May 7. The reckless cruelty of this administration is out of control.
