inventing the male genital panoply is just like: "what if your ovaries were in your labia. what if you peed through your clitoris. what if your urethra had an on-off switch you could touch in your butt. i am not a crackpot."

Hell, Les Moonves was talking about Trump being "good for business" like eight years ago.

Take the action that you feel good taking. I’m more screaming at the universe that “boycotting Prime will send Bezos a message” is a crushingly naive view of the world and people who are angry should know that sometimes you can’t get to the person to whom you want to get.

With alt-text because I'm a butt.

I live in a rural town, FAaFO only works if you can also compassionately provide an alternative that will actually help alleviate the pain. "Let them reap what they sow" only allows the predators to keep preying on these people.

In October, especially, every day is Halloween. 🎃

Coming up with three things for "O" was very difficult; I didn't want to do more than one huge mouth and I didn't want the middle to be something other than negative space.

I drew all these letters (very quickly!); I put some close-ups in the next post down. 🎃

Every legacy media outlet out there is calling government shutdown 2025 a Democrats' fault. Despite the GOP being in full control of all the branches. Every single one of them. Ben is right, these dinosaurs have to be replaced. bsky.app/profile/benc...

a friend of mine (who i honestly didn’t even know followed me here, different cities these days) made this for a NO KINGS rally a few months ago and i have been thinking ever since about how to make an easy reproducible version for people who don’t have confidence in their drawing skills

And now I'm going to log off, watch some youtube, get out some tools, and see if I can finish building my RX-78-2, which currently just has one more leg, the shield, and weapons to go.

From a thread of fantasy impeachments:

“average voter is centrist” is a statistical error, average voter holds dozens of contradictory and sometimes insane policy views that more or less counterbalance because theyre all conflicting

“Can the president tell what is real and what is not real” is a pretty simple and important question and I think the answer seems pretty clear

kate brown was kind of middling as a governor, too, until covid, at which point she sacrificed the rest of her political future to protect oregon, and it worked. she went out as the least popular governor in america and oregon had one of the lowest covid death rates in the country

Based on a lot of the responses to this apparently a lot of people have not pondered the possibility (imo the likelihood) that what’s been going on with Jeffries & Mamdani has really been more about Jeffries & Adams & Black voters in Brooklyn.

This is a demonstration of how powerful the right wing misinformation machine is. They take a phrase or a word some Democrat said, attach the worst possible interpretation to it, and repeat their view of it THOUSANDS of times until even liberals remember it the way conservatives want them to.

The Jimmy Kimmel thing failed so entirely that Jimmy is now taking brassy pot shots and Trump’s powerless to stop him. The Comey case is a sham. Portland, if @tinakotek.bsky.social and Mayor Keith find their balls and push back loudly in video form, will be fine. Dooming is dumb. We’re winning.

one of my strongest The Rich Abandoned The City during covid was seeing a luxury car that had a tree-banch fully smash on top of it from a storm and it just stayed there for months

sigh, guess I need to dig my Comey piece out of the archives www.justsecurity.org/66045/nuts-a...

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

Steve Lieber is a great artist and storyteller. Something I love about him is the way he doesn't just learn from and build on his predecessors, he constantly expresses his gratitude and adoration for them.

one of the ongoing problems of the GOP being a rampaging shit beast that requires constant disaster management is that anodyne policy fuckups by well meaning but inevitably flawed normal politics don't get any time in the repair shop

because the x chromosome has two copies for xx women, and one of the copies needs to be turned off, a bunch of, basically, junk is attached to the second one to turn it off. your immune system can see this junk, it makes it angry, and about 4 out of 5 people with autoimmune diseases are xx
