Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis. #iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls

Newsom is not your ally. He just wants you to think he isn’t an awful friend.

this completely horrifying. ICE is a domestic occupying threat against us all

Bluesky please remove the post bar by the tabs. Its ugly. 😭

Amal was in touch to say they were hit badly by the latest storm. Terrible conditions for little Rolan, in the pictures, to endure. And they're still scrabbling to get enough money for Naser's lung treatment. gofund.me/ada35961

It's difficult to cultivate in these conditions, but Mohammed's doing his absolute best. Bluesky won't let him speak for himself here, but he deserves to be heard.

Minneapolis didn’t look like this until ICE showed up. If Trump can deploy these masked killers into this city, he can do it in any city for any reason. They will target you for you skin color, regardless of political affiliation. And they’ve clearly shown that actual citizenship doesn’t matter.

Please if you can, supporting Samaa's family here would mean a lot chuffed.org/project/157569

#HorrorWritersChat I likes subverting safety and comfort. A lot of my stories, published and otherwise, take place in settings where the characters are not inherently uneasy to begin with!

Thanks, @marywyrd.bsky.social! Excellent questions tonight. Truly! For those interested in whether the Television does actually murder your girlfriend, you'll have to read the damn book. Use the link below to restore my faith in humanity. #horrorwriterschat www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

#horrorwriterschat The balance between her monstrous ego and her overwhelming need to be well-liked. And, uh, ghosts.

#horrorwriterschat by being honest about things that disturb me and make me afraid. if we all hold hands and i get the weird feeling first it will eventually travel down to you, like an electric shock or the sudden need to shit when youre in a strangers house.

#horrorwriterschat "You are in control of your own body/fate" "What if you were a wormhole?" Kinda stuff. "You're hard work and determination will pay off" What if you got stuck at the end of time and could never die. What if there was a bar at the end of it all that only played Jimmy buffet

Hhhhhhhh hi hello, my name is Late Once Again. #horrorwriterschat I write anything in horror really! But I really like Sci-fi and cosmic horror right now. Some things that have influenced me lately are x2 The Shinning bc i watched the miniseries and I am reading the book.

I really, really don't want see her desperately raising funds for yet another emergency operation for Naser after a collapse. Which has happened at least twice before and will almost certainly happen again if she can't get that treatment.

❤️🙏

ARTISTS! It's a grim time so let's support each other! If you are open for private commissions post your work and your rates here! I want to boost you and get you some work! Anyone feel free to share this thread!

They're facing very tough conditions tonight. Heavy rain like this is terrifying in a fragile tent. Waseem will have an awful lot of damage to deal with tomorrow. Please give them strength to endure. gofund.me/35fdca7d

if you have art block, paradoxically one thing that can cure it is drawing, and the trick to that is to draw from life, remove imagination from the process of drawing for a bit. I appreciate that this isn't always the easiest advice to follow, good luck!

Please keep calling your reps to demand they oppose KOSA and other internet censorship bills!

The rain is pretty bad this evening and Rami could do with some moral support. ❤️❤️‍🩹 chuffed.org/project/155233

KOSA is dangerous. Democrats continue to fail at meeting the moment.

Please of you can spare any money, any amount towards samaa' campsign would mean a lot! chuffed.org/project/157569

Stop thinking about “what people want to see” just draw what you want to see

drawing is a fine motor skill and will fuck up your muscles and tendons if you don't stretch and the cool thing about tendons is that once you fuck them up they take anywhere from months to years to never to unfuck. so stretch

My phone is dying on me, and I tried to order a phone that could run a Linux OS or anything else that would give me better privacy. But they either dont sell in the u.s. or are out of stock.

A note from The Management.

Some poems warn us what not to become. Mark Wyatt's "Saudi Arabia" is one of our features this weekend. And it's sadly relevant this weekend in particular. Read it: www.radonjournal.com/issue-11-sau...

Amal tried to make an account earlier, but got suspended almost immediately. She's desperately worried she won't be able to get the medication Naser needs for his recovery after an operation. Without it, he may end up in ICU again. gofund.me/ada35961 @lillywachowski.bsky.social

Get obsessed with a thing. Bonus if it is a niche thing you have to draw yourself.

Can anyone help, this is serious for Lubna's son Nasser chuffed.org/project/1552...

Don't forget to drink water and exercise

Get a cheap sketchbook and draw nothing but anatomy sketches and figure drawings in it. Fill entire pages. Repeat the same poses over and over until you have that shape in muscle memory. If there's something about a certain body part you dont understand, draw only that body part for a few pages.

The surveillance industry is a key enabler of vast and untold violations of human rights and civil liberties like we’ve seen in the actions of ICE. The industry seeks to profit off the data of millions while ICE creates one of the largest surveillance machines in history. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Ive discovered something concerning about myself that I can't tell anyone but my therapist because there's already so much going on with me it'll sound made the fuck up

Order something from our store today and I'll send my portion of the proceeds to MN ICE Watch, a local org that works to keep people safe from fascists and provide mutual aid to those affected by the ICE invasion. www.cursedmorselspress.com

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

All of my ocs are made specifically for me and the story i want to tell. Deviantarts "Mary sue" culture made me an angrier person and now all of my characters are weird and overpowered. I do what I want.

Happy National Typing Day! The day celebrates strides that have been made in communication, so I highly encourage you to celebrate by texting/emailing and being your most authentic self today.
