I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

We do not feed human beings solely because they will do a productive task at the end of its adolescent life. We cannot stop feeding human beings if we replace all their productive tasks with other entities.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

That heaviness you feel after events like yesterday is real. We've all accumulated a lot of mental and emotional weight in the first year of Trump's disastrous presidency.

Making Weird Cats I've Seen on the Internet sure was an adventure! We changed our printing plan and had to take much longer than anticipated on the creation time. But we are pretty happy with how this 100% block printed book by

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone. I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

Cosigned. Every time I hear nonblack folks say woke the way white conservatives do, it makes me scream internally. When you misuse woke, you are frustrating the Black people around you (if you don't have any Black people you know in your life that's another topic but anyway!)
