overdid it in my fitness yoga class and chased it with a combination covid booster + flu shot my body is now a vessel for aching muscles, lactic acid, and a blessed immune response

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

🏳️‍⚧️ For US-based trans people 🏳️‍⚧️ The applications for Point of Pride's Annual Trans Surgery Fund will open on Nov 1, 2025. This is a fund that aims to provide direct financial assistances to trans people who can't afford gender-affirming surgeries. More info: www.pointofpride.org/annual-trans...

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't. Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

the popular political framing for how effective any given form of civic engagement is for the Left and the Right is so comically, insultingly lopsided. and it seems to be codified by every institution imaginable. just endless consternation for the Left and ultimate reckless abandon for the Right.

universal adoption always sows the seeds of a trends own destruction

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

my kittens playfight a lot, but never with lighting this dramatic!

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

The stopgap measure being voted on today to try to avoid govt shutdown includes a provision that could strip ALL federal funding from any institution/facility providing access to any form of gender-affirming care, for anyone of any age. Call. We will grow old together.

Just got my favorite compliment whilst walking down the street: "you smell good, whatever you're wearing works for you"

Do not bow down to these people. Do not allow them to convince you that you must. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/b...

Thanks for the responses everybody! It's always so lovely to be reminded just how talented and wide-ranging the comics community is, and I'm excited to pair as many folks as I can to the projects we'll have moving forward. 🩵 (Still accepting replies -- feel free to share with folks you know!)

If you're not totally aware of how bots try to sway minds, here's a good example.

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

The media allowing Trump plausible deniability on Project 2025 during the campaign is right up there with Iraq War stenography in craven, lazy disgracefulness

Seeing those awful genAI Sk3tchers ads everywhere sucks, but it's been doing wonders for my imposter syndrome. Like, why am I cautious about sharing my work when a multi-billion dollar company is willing to push the cringiest slop?

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

The thing to emphasize here is that this treatment is *utterly normal.* It's part of the system of detention which has existed for decades. Folkston has been like this for many, many years,

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

"but crime is a real issue, people are worried about crime and you have to take that seriously" No you don't! If people are getting more scared about crime while crime is happening less frequently, it's a made up issue and you should make a point of yelling that all the time

This song is so freaking good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SebE...

Too much "we're cooked" & not enough "we're not gonna take this shit"

After a quick look re: my last repost. Needless to say, I am *deeply* skeptical. The theft of copyrighted work for use in training generative AI models has become so commonplace. I've lost all trust on this matter and have a "prove it" mindset when it comes to terms like these.

WeTransfer just changed their TOS giving themselves permission to train AI on any content you transfer and produce derivative works based on content you transfer that they are allowed to monetize and you are not allowed payment for. Stop using WeTransfer.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists. This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.

man, today's lead NYT op-ed sure is something

Like I’m sorry but nakedly protecting your own financial interests under the guise of respectability politics is and always has been selfishness, not bipartisanship.

Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.

lol I have been so absent here

me externally me internally

When I was writing about these pronatalist people this week I came across this anecdote from the Guardian about the guy In the CNN clip.

You guys don’t need to try to convince me that any form of AI has merit. It doesn’t. It is boring and half-assed. I am fine getting by with human brain power. If the world nears its end and AI has one hater left, good news! I am still alive.

Been a while, friends! I've been offline lately, enjoying the spring. Here are some flowers from my yard 🌼🌸🌷

Hi friends. Do you maintain a mailing list? Are their services you like/prefer/are more affordable than not?

This is what I meant when I said *someone* is working on it. Most of the things you can imagine that suck, people are fighting; most of the things you can imagine that would be good, people somewhere have built or are trying to build. bsky.app/profile/kate...

Even when you've found your lane--the thing you're doing to make the world more livable for more people--there's still SOOO much whapping us in the face that you're not addressing. I know! But *someone* is. Today, send a note of thanks to someone who's working in a totally different lane from yours.

I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.

It was such a joy to draw the incredible @jandersonoey.bsky.social at the most recent session at @doableguys.bsky.social this Wednesday.

Such a uniquely embarrassing time to be an American.

"my silly little drawings just feel so irrelevant in the face of the world being on fire" maybe they are. maybe you need to be making something else to meet this moment. maybe that feeling is a call to action.
