dear god why is it so, so hard for me to remember how to spell Massachusetts???

I made a new song with some friends! This was written for an upcoming compilation called "The Resistance is Being Recorded," featuring musicians in southern MN who hate ice. I'm the "K" in JASK and am on lead vocals! youtu.be/15TzgzHkoQI?...

If anyone has a direct line to this guy, please ask him why he hasn't announced an eviction moratorium to protect immigrants terrorized by ICE in his state in the dead of winter.

thinkin' through mud this week

All women really want is to receive this text:

eight boxes of cookies will soon approach my gluttonous home I can't wait

I regret not cornering all my neighbors at the caucus a couple weeks ago and figuring out who all the funniest wifi names belong to

All my heavens to betsy'd

Just muttered to myself "we should do our taxes soon" and my partner heard "we should carefully sin"

Ya'll ever just listen to choral music and cry?

As of today, sales from the daily comic book have raised $691.89 for a mutual aid org helping immigrants in my city ❤️ I'm SO thankful to everyone who's ordered the book, and I'd love to hand more fat wads of cash to my group organizers in the future! You can order here: www.etsy.com/shop/KatBaum...

Where I grew up, you had to drive 20 miles thru empty farmland to reach ANYTHING (restaurants/hospital/a movie theater, etc) so to this day I still get a little giddy when I remember I live somewhere a pizza can come to me. Like, it legit still feels like a fun treat after all these years lol

I ask her not to stare at me with her extra lids, I beg her

Becoming more involved in my community lately has reminded me just how bad my Spanish is-- I'm working on it! But today I pulled out this gem while telling someone about my cat: "Mi gato... Ello es muy guapo, pero.. no muy inteligente" Spanish speakers are way too patient, I feel like a menace.

Everyone's head is on a swivel rn, chiropractors are gonna make a killing in a few months

Just in case Square still gives anyone trouble with their dumb address auto-fill glitch, I put some of the Daily Comic Books on an etsy shop too: www.etsy.com/shop/KatBaum... kat-baumann.square.site Thank you everyone for supporting the mutual aid in my little city 🦋

Margo and I are hard at work, packing books to ship off today! And by that I mean I have prepped 22 packages to send off, and Margo has tried very hard to sneak her hair into each one. ✨Profits from the daily comic book go to an immigrant mutual aid org here in Mankato, MN✨ kat-baumann.square.site

Evidently every group chat they’re not invited to is a “shadow network.” The neighborhood WhatsApp chat where we coordinate borrowing shovels on snowy days and whether the city can pick up an old freezer is a “shadow network.” Our local Buy Nothing Facebook group is a “shadow network.”

A friend and I have been troubleshooting all night bc Square has been rejecting some addresses for no reason -- Apparently it auto-fills your address when you enter it at checkout -- so when it does this, just back out of the checkout screen, start over and manually enter your address.

I got this comment, plus a friend who lives in the same city as me said Square said it "won't ship to their address," which is really frustrating. I'm trying to figure it out, but in the meantime does anyone have an alternative they can recommend? Should I cut my losses and use Etsy instead?

I'm excited to announce that I compiled all of my daily comics from 2025 into a full book, got them printed, and officially have them available on my shop: kat-baumann.square.site More importantly, I will be donating all the profits from this book to to a mutual aid organization in my city. (1/3)

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Alex Pretti’s dad: “He cared about people deeply & was very upset with what was happening...He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests” apnews.com/article/immi...

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

Bu... buddy... you do not want what the US has got. You wanna die early bc you can't afford healthcare? You wanna get shot at the grocery store? You want all your schools defunded? Come down here and say it to my face, you little dipshits, I will hand-deliver rats to all your farms you thick fucks

The government is literally lying to us to create propaganda to advance a white supremacist agenda, and we still have elected Dems who think they can work with these people and vote for their agenda. I am so angry all the time now.

Lol the ICE dipshits aren't ready for this like we are

"get rid of these baby-snatchimg freaks" is so simple and so universally appealing, and our ossified so-called representatives can't even bring themselves to say it

MN friends -- calling both Smith and Klobuchar's offices and demanding they call for the *Abolishment* of ICE (not reform, not defunding, ABOLISHMENT) is a great thing you can do every single day! Sen. Smith: (202)224-5641 Sen. Klobuchar: (202)224-3244 www.newsweek.com/democratic-m...

If you enjoy slice-of-life manga about people being completely possessed by the feverish pursuit of art, I'm so happy to report that Akane Banashi is very very good

My contribution (a little late) to the #ICEOUT #ICEOUTMPLS comic posts. My experience with ICE in my city so far, keeping the language as vague as possible to protect the groups on the ground helping people here.

My favorite is when MN GOP representatives just... didn't read the bills that were in front of them and then "oops all edibles are legal now" and I found a can of pop with 50mg of THC in it at the local smoke shop

This made me ugly cry

If you take the Blue Line, you can go through Warrington and Warrington on your way to Warrington, super convenient

@smith.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov Still wanna keep using the disgusting "reform ice" and "ice has a role in our country" talking points?

There's video from an ice encounter in my city yesterday; a middle aged woman can be heard off camera yelling "what, are you gonna shoot me? Shoot me, goddamnit!" and soon afterward an agent maced a young woman in the face, called her a "fucking bitch," then got in his SUV and fled the scene.

Hang it in the Louvre, my man

I saw a post the other day that was like "tell us your most random comics advice" and honestly this screencap is a really good example of how to layer figures properly in perspective. Think of how much room you'd have for your speech bubbles above these three perfectly-sized heads!

Absolutely fucking mind-bendingly disgusting take from another of my senators. Great.

You have heard of Renee Good, but may not have heard of Keith Porter, who was shot & killed by an off duty ICE agent an NYE. Our hearts are with his family & anyone impacted by ICE. Below is a GoFundMe for Keith’s daughters so please donate/share around. ICE needs to go Link: gofund.me/c2aea3587

Omg. ♥️✨

When horrible shit is happening it makes me feel productive and helpful to donate blood but I got rejected today because my fuckin heart rate is too high because of all the shit that's happening 🤬
