me to my wife on february the second: is it too early to start buying christmas gifts?

happy black history month 🩷

I cry for all the Liams who do not have the public image that this one does and who are now languishing in horrid conditions. And I protest for them.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

My january reads! 📚 hope I can keep this up 😮‍💨

It always feels like all the wrong people die, but I think it’s because there are far more beloved people than there are bastards.

Turns out that you can simply chose not to sell your warehouse and prevent it from becoming a detention center www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

somehow sleeping in a wrist brace has in fact helped my hypermobile wrist pain. has someone observed this phenomenon before

wifely selfie, just cuz we’re cute

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.

happy one year anniversary (approx) of being offered a job at an indie animation show only to be ghosted when I asked for a contract ✌️i know we’re all on a sinking ship but can we be at least less shitty to each other

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED! It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st! hourlycomicsday.com #hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday #hcd

Finished is better than terrible #oldknees

here's your good news of the day:

Philadelphia in candlelight. A city paused. Love showed up for Renee Nicole Good.

the extremely deflating feeling of rearranging furniture in your house to gain some sense of control only for it to look worse. now you’re tired, the energy in your room is wrong, and the world is still on fire :/

dyed my hair from pink to cherry red yesterday. after almost 10 years of pink, I might start transitioning back to my natural dark brown because god know bleaching my roots every 6 months isnt as tenable now that I’m in my 30s 😮‍💨

ICE funding expires January 30. Call Congress to say whether you think it should be continued. US Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121.

oldhead advice from an oldhead. every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown" and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work gotta build for long term

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

We need live journal style communities back. Until that returns, social media, federated or not, is just going to fall short. We're all just posting. Until we can create little pockets to post in, we aren't there yet And no don't fucking say discord lol

january

fun fact, I met my wife ten years ago in the check please fandom lmao

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Chavez in 2009, while being labelled as paranoid, outlines exactly what is happening today.

In general, we'll probably stand a better chance at beating fascism the less we bullshit people and the less it sounds like we're talking about Santa Claus.

The US literally kidnapped Maduro on the anniversary of kidnapping the Panamanian leader in 1990.

I'm seeing a lot of posts to call your reps but little on actually how. 5calls.org is a great site where you can put in your zip code and get numbers for your house representative and two senators. You also can get a script if you're like me and stumble over your thoughts.

CNN commentator just now: "You have to congratulate the administration on keeping this quiet". The news media is a huge contributor to the rise of unlawful tyranny.

okay i am sorry to be that bitch but the one word you can't use to describe this is "unprecedented."

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.

Are photos of your cat simply not enough any more? Have you tried.. drawings of your cat?? Portraits are digital download, $120, little hats are free to add and backgrounds are $15+ depending on complexity, DM for more info 🐈💛

can someone remind me what’s that tapestry/throw blanket company that collabs with a bunch of indie artists?

Underrated point of discussion with the AI + social media uproar is giving thanks to patrons of the arts, especially non-artists, who are willing to put in the effort to support artists at a time when it has never been easier or more normalized to do the opposite.

Here’s to 2026

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

✨Hit my reading goal ✨Started new medications that make my life significantly better ✨Got a job that sounded really fun in paper ✨Left said job when it turned out to be quite toxic ✨Had two paintings in two gallery shows (for the first time) ✨Got my real ID! Probably more stuff I can’t think about
