oh no. free him 😭

Jury duty rules—other than voting it’s the only way for ordinary citizens to participate in (what’s left of our) democracy. Also if you’re constantly scheming how to get out of jury duty you don’t get to act surprised when some all-white jury of septuagenarians lets some murdering cop off the hook.

Working digitally today, quick warmup sketch in CSP

I fucking hate Nazis.

Drew another animal I know nothing about: the margay I have a running list of suggestions that I think will be fun to pull from for warmup's -- throw some names at me that you think I haven't seen

It's important to call your representatives right now. And I am. Even so, this is how it feels begging my maga congressman to do literally fucking anything about the obvious war crimes:

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

it is incredible that the entire high level legal apparatus of the United States is "anything that helps people is impossible, anything that kills people is permitted"

I showed my spouse Terminator 2 for the first time on Christmas so now this is a dedicated Sarah Connor fan account this diva.

Day 365: What better way to bookend this year than by reprising the very first drawing I did in 2025? We made it through, friends. I'm going to miss these dailies, but I won't be going anywhere -- you'll see warmup sketches while I work on some bigger projects! Thank you for being here with me ❤️

Day 364: One more day to go, nerds!

It has come to my attention that I drew this bird prematurely before looking at more photos, so I had NO IDEA how crazy their plumage actually is. Patriotic-ass bird.

Day 363: One more Animal Un-familiar for the year (couldn't resist gouache-ing this one)

In 2026 my state is gonna elect the fuckin My Pillow guy as our next governor because leftists are repeating right wing talking points online and people think that republicans "would never vote for the My Pillow Guy" and I'm losing my goddamn mind over here, kill me

Check out this thread with snippets of the one-shot Mark and I worked on a while back!

Really dug this one. NEVER MEANT was a proposed graphic novel about a band reuniting 15 years after recording and releasing a single album that both tore them apart as friends and went on to become more influential than they could have ever imagined.

Day 361 (or 362?): Felt like doing a little inkwash study and playing with shadowy interiors

Meanwhile the fems are out here like "Batty from Fern Gully. would."

Day 360! Conclusion of the Silly Little Guys' penultimate meeting

Day 359: Checking in with the Silly Little Guys(tm) again:

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is the best Xmas song not just because it's good but it also sounds like something a mom would say as she throws the whole fucking ham in the garbage while having a nervous breakdown

Day 358: (yuletide nose trumpet sound)

Day 357: My talented son

Day 356: Rat Prince, Rat Steward, Rat Queen Regent...

"We Beat 'Em Before... (Portland's Version)" This idea came to me late. I think it fits really well since Portland Frog Brigade literally carries no weapons and yet ICE has no idea how to respond to them. Just feckless incompetent goons all around.

Done! You can fill out this survey too, whether you work in the industry or are just a reader and enjoyer of Sci-fi and fantasy

Ebay emailing me over the 12 hours after I purchased the most cursed ornament on their site: "Kat! He is being packaged by the seller!" "HE has been received by the USPS!" "Kat, he is ON HIS WAY to your HOME." "HIs ARRIVAL is IMMINENT (in 6-7 business days)"

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Day 355: Are there only ten days left in the year? That's fucked up. Find some Cursedmas ornaments!

It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now. It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Day 354: Presented without comment (although the second panel did make me laugh audibly as I was inking it)

Day 353: The holiday season got me thinking of those old vintage ads, wanted to break out my gouache again today

If ICE gets to decide against all evidence that your documentation is fake, just because they say so, then there is no law. For anyone, but especially for Black and brown people the Supreme Court has declared are warrantless arrest targets.

Day 352: It's blastin' time

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Did my Holiday trio jazz show last night and it was super fun -- but the cherry on top was getting to info-dump to a stranger about bigfin squids when they asked about my tattoo. It's literally all I want in this life.

Day 351: Well this one's just a little dawg!

In my experience (having grown up inside far-right conservatism and deconstructed from it a few short years before Trump's rise) liberals didn't believe me when I talked about the destruction his voters would be happy to enable. I've been right about both of his terms, and I'm not happy about it.

Bullshit. Horseshit. Dogshit judges. How tf does conversion therapy (torture) count as "free speech"?

Stay safe out there y'all

Every trans person--including every trans child--deserves the chance to be fully themselves. I'm so sick of seeing trans folks harmed repeatedly and unrelentingly, against all reason and scientific precedent. To my trans friends--I'm so sorry the world keeps trying to dim your light.

Trump’s ICE is going after immigrants who are VOLUNTARILY leaving the U.S. and sending them to inhumane detention centers. Why? Just so they can funnel more money into private, for-profit prisons. The cruelty is the point. www.tpr.org/news/2025-12...

Day 350: Yes!! Yes! Finally!

I'm trying to export my browser data FROM firefox so I can switch TO waterfox but every resource I find online just shows me how to import TO firefox. Can any of my tech-savvy mutuals euthanize me real quick?

No, there isn’t a way. There just isn’t. GenAI is poisoning the water supply of Oregon. It’s boiling inland seas.This tech, at scale, is an anti life equation, and all to spit out stolen collages of other people’s work to plug into a pipeline that has to be fixed by an underpaid real human later.

As measles rages in S Carolina notice that those responding to this outbreak on the frontlines are pediatricians, family med practitioners, nurses and local public health officials. Not the wellness influencers and podscasters who discourage vaccination. Arsonists NEVER put out fires they start

Day 349: While this fruit bat is extremely cute, the drawing challenge is definitely more fun when the name is way more disconnected from the animal...

Same way I found out about Epstein
