While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers.

They are neither inevitable nor invincible. Make them show you.

George Jackson, writing this sometime around 1970 before he was murdered by the police, gave us the advice we need now:

Hey y’all! REMINDER: I am LEGALLY OBLIGATED to award at least one scholarship to a Louisiana woman. And no Louisiana women have applied. This happens every year where we have to beg women in my own state to apply and Idk why. We’re in our 6th cycle! Come get this money! ThurmanPerryFoundation.org

FEELIN' PRETTY NOW OR NEVER TO ME

renee good's murderer is literally a FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR. these motherfuckers don't need more money and training. talk about rewarding bad behavior jesus fucking christ.

I think about this quote from the Luddite movement all the time

white women and queers - and people who love them - this is a good week to look GOP voters you know in the eye and ask them if they think it should be legally permissible for men to shoot you or your loved one in the head on the basis of being a “fucking bitch”

I know this is corny to say but this is the real America, man. This is what it’s all about. This is what those freaks are trying to destroy & we won’t let them

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

nice gender bozo did your parents pick it out for you

We're in the final month of this fundraiser and desperately need more donations! Please donate, please share! This is a terrifying and horrible situation that's unfortunately not uncommon. Trans people deserve families! People who do sex work or have done sex work in the past deserve families!

Back on my bullshit (reading Moby dick again)

Unrelated to anything else, I've just about cleared out my current commission queue, which means it's a great time to order if you want something custom made! Or hey, just browse what's in stock~ shop.cairosteele.com #BSNM #leather #bondage #bdsm #TransArtist #QueerArtist #furry #PupPlay #PetPlay

This lovely trans woman is setting up shop in Seattle and her books are wide open for new electrology clients! ⚡️ Despite the sassy name, she sees cis clients too, but loves to support the community. 💖 Please share, ESPECIALLY if you are in the Seattle area! www.vagaro.com/donnaandonia...

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

people think moby dick is a stern adventure novel heavy on the plot. i can't emphasize how much it's not. it's supergay chaos with 3 plot points. there's an entire chapter that's just a chowder recipe. sometimes it turns into a play. the main character is covered in whale dinension tattoos.

The whole "Grok admits" "Grok apologizes" thing reminds me of the famous IBM presentation quote that evidently everyone has forgotten. And I do think representing your brand on social media counts as a "management decision".

At least we don’t live in a world of staggering class disparity in which a tech magnate attempts to quash left-wing sentiment using sexualized artificial intelligence!

Will be opening up for a few Headcase orders in the coming days, keep an eye out!

The scope of Trump's campaign to drive trans Americans from public life is vast. On the last day of 2025, Evan Urquhart attempts to capture all of what we lost. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Hell yes horse year, let's ride

2026 we're leaving behind the word "valid". Don't need to see that one anymore. Enough is enough

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Y'all we live in a world where queer history is being erased. LA&M fights to protect the art, artifacts and archives that document leather, fetish, kink and BDSM culture. That is why we, and other museums, libraries and archives, exist! Help with that work as you are able. leatherarchives.info/2025

America Faced Domestic Fascists Before — and Then Buried That History | When Americans ignore or discount extremism, they miss how effectively such movements borrowed American idioms, such as patriotism, Christianity and law and order, to further hatred, violence and exclusion.

You don't need AI as an indie author, you need community. You need people who can help you when you're burning out (and vice versa, importantly). Trade labor with each other, beta read for one another, connect with editors and cover artists. Teach & learn. Help promote one another.

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

Finally got to plant and situate the new tank for my middle aged ball python, Claude.

Update. The ICE supervisor, who is 47, was arrested for domestic violence against his non-citizen partner who he started a relationship when she was 18 and he was 40. www.fox19.com/2025/12/22/i...

I don’t know man if capitalism has just resulted in a small network of pedophiles destroying all life on earth then perhaps we should consider that it is a complete and utter failure as a system

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Had a long, detailed dream about cleaning and organizing my bedroom... to wake up and realize I don't live there and I still need to clean !!

A warning from the lawyer representing the unjustly fired Oklahoma TA! Beware of GFM scams: her client is NOT crowdfunding at this time.

We will live long enough to bury the impractical jokers
