New commission! I am thrilled with how this came out, and it was my first time drawing a sickle blade of this sort. Would you like a fantasy or sci fi weapon commission? They are a flat $50, so please let me know! I am always taking reservations!

Soda Can Report (Day 31) Thread: Not many cuddles last night. I shut her out of the bedroom for about 90 minutes around 4 but let her back in for morning Bird Watch. We had some brief morning cuddles and then some minor zoomers when I got her breakfast. No interest in yoga today.

Kids need/deserve traumatic films. Films that show death or lasting consequences that aren't resolved almost instantly. Fear, anger, grief and frustration should be part of kids movies. Kids arent stupid, they feel big emotions just like adults, they deserve to see those experiences reflected back.

ICE lied about how Renee Good was shot. They lied about how Alex Pretti was shot. And now they’re lying about how Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot. Don’t believe their story for a second.

If he’s any good I hope I’m the first to use the headline “Jackson is Flora-shing for the Giants”

Oh, that anniversary's today, right?

Meanwhile, Angels pitcher Brent Suter told me last month he doesn’t like fossil fuel advertising in sports — super “political”! — and the team apparently didn’t care. He’s gone on to discuss with a bunch of other media outlets. A study in contrasts. www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/brent-suter

Franchise of Jackie Robinson won’t let one of its most beloved players say he’s not going to the White House because he doesn’t want to hang out with a racist who terrorized his city, forcing him to come up with a BS excuse instead. Really pathetic of the Dodgers. www.latimes.com/sports/dodge...

I'm not even joking when I say that, as a former writing teacher, I think even the act of bullshitting through a 10-page paper on a book you only skimmed is also incredibly valuable learning.

RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...

It's official. My provision banning private equity from mass purchasing homes is now law. This is an INCREDIBLE victory for Georgia and the country.

He's directly responsible for the Pride Night disaster. He opened the season not believing in platooning guys. His bullpen handling could not be any worse. Did Vitello ghost write this shit?

Reminder that I do book and zine covers! This first illustration was done for @danifinnwrites.bsky.social ! The second was for @bchoward.bsky.social I would love to do more cover art for people! Please DM me if interested!

I like how cats are cute but also they carry knives on their feet and mouths.

Soda Can Report (Day 30) Thread: Happy 4 weeks to Soda Can!! So much progress! Despite a lot of play, Soda Can had a restless night last night with almost no cuddles (💔). She was very active but it wasn’t quite what I think of as zoomies. She just couldn’t settle.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES Department of Justice lawsuit to obtain an unredacted copy of New York's statewide voter registration list. A big victory for Elias Law Group and our Client the NAACP. DOJ is now 0-12 in these cases. ELG is undefeated. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...

Any tips for recognizing when a cat is Done Playing for real vs just lulling its quarry into a false sense of security?

🤖 Eugene Emeralds 🔁 by SFGProspects Dakota Jordan just hit the longest HR in PK Park history, we’re pretty confident! 471 ft 111 mph. Dead Center. 2 innings, 2 HR for the Future’s Game All-Star @Kota_1k #RootedHere

Really sweet thread

1 like = 1 completely dull, mundane fact about me

Fuck any anti-American motherfucker who cannot say with pride: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

It's my birthday week... and it's a big one. I'm feeling really weird about it. But if you want to help me celebrate, I made a birthday list... www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... Or you can help with my really alarming ko-fi goal. ko-fi.com/karidru

We are incredibly close to breaking the $30k stretch goal on Claire's talk, at which point she will probably have to just do a second schism and become pope.

I will also tell you who my Confirmation saint is, why I chose them, and drop the link for my favorite ABSURDLY comprehensive online catalog of Things There Are Patron Saints For to let you pick your own so you can post them in the chat (patron against headaches? patron of Maryland? patron of cats?)

Had to raise my goal because transfer fees are brutal. Still need to pay internet and phone, and I could use some groceries and cat food. Bills are getting urgent, I'm sorry

I’ll share it, because I think this rampant anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bigotry is not only accepted by a dying wing of our party but being used to win primaries (see Abdul). It’s on us to see it, shun it, and protect our coalition.

My friend Liz just lost their job after sending a kid to college. A 3k goal to keep themselves secure and the kid in school is super reasonable if you can send a couple bucks!

Yeah..... or for some reason, health & safety checks on farms have suddenly gone away & we're back to making farm workers shit in a ditch on the edge of the field 🤠 (This has been, historically, a major source of foodborne illness outbreaks.)

6:30 is the best time on the clock, hands down

Born 10 July 1943, tennis player and civil rights activist Arthur Ashe. He was the only black man to win the singles title at Wimbledon, the US Open and the Australian Open. He also became the first black player to be named in the U.S. Davis Cup team. He died in 1993, aged just 49. #ArthurAshe

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

In 'Death Knell for America's Wildlife,' Trump Admin Guts Habitat Protections for Endangered Species

The Maine secretary of state says Graham Platner *has* formally withdrawn from the Senate race. This is ahead of the Monday deadline, and so the Democratic party will be authorized to replace him, by July 27th.

"Britannica’s lawsuit said that OpenAI unlawfully copied nearly 100,000 of its articles... The complaint said that ChatGPT produces “near-verbatim” copies of Britannica’s encyclopedia entries, dictionary definitions and other content, diverting users who would otherwise visit its websites."

One thing I miss about being a bookseller is getting to read during slow times at work.

Morning! Do you like swords? Shields? Other fantasy weapons? I draw them all for a flat rate of $50! Please consider reserving a spot today! It would help me out a lot!

Stoller used to work for Alan Grayson and then, later, Russell Brand. It’s difficult to avoid the impression that he just likes abusers as long as they don’t get caught.

If you do not think an adult woman's testimony ever constitutes evidence of a rape, you are saying that you never want rapists to be held accountable. That is what you are saying. That makes you a dangerous fucking person.

Lemme explain what the words BELIEVE WOMEN should mean. They don't mean you have to believe women no matter what. They do mean that you have to treat women as a source the same way you'd treat a man.

Reminder that even if there’s not a Minneapolis level response organized in your community, carry your whistle and USE IT If you hear a whistle, grab your phone and film.

New zine posted on itch! As you may know, I maintain a photo diary, and post the pics on bluesky. Well, I wanted to move towards collecting these photos in a more organized fashion! So I made a pdf of a small zine collecting all the spring 2026 images!! allisonashtear.itch.io/photo-diary-...

This is a great opinion all around, the AI stuff is fantastic (“Whatever the merits of artificial intelligence, it is no substitute for actual intelligence”) and the COVID vaccine religious exemption stuff is interesting, too.

11th Cir.: Counsel, you responded to opposing counsel pointing out you filed a brief with eight hallucinated cases by filing a reply brief purporting to withdraw eight *different* hallucinated cases. You are referred for misconduct. Good day, sir. media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

You can tell from his delivery that he had this line locked & loaded in his back pocket. He really thought he could get away with the "plausible deniability route" but the setup is soooo telegraphed there's simply no way man

Still stuck at 0/$50
