ICE is writing secret memos claiming power to invade homes without warrants. They're using children as bait. They're killing. Congressional Democrats are about to vote to increase their budget by $18 billion. Call your House rep tonight. The vote may come tomorrow. www.patreon.com/posts/148814...

One of my favorite MLK quotes especially when applied to activism. If you can't march, donate. If you can't donate, check on folks. Our actions don't have to be big to be meaningful and have an impact but we must keep at it!

I genuinely hope Planthony is having a good day today

2026 is trying to win us back but doesn't know how.

I'm at the Judge Doom red, bulgy eyes stage of reading before book award deliberations! Almost here!

My first Nancy strip, for New Year’s Day 2026❣️

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

Happy New Year, Bluesky.

Got to greet & walk alongside the monks earlier today! Even saw Aloka! #walkforpeace #peacedog #georgia

Happy Xmas to those who celebrate! I started making this playlist last year and just finished it. If you listen, imagine its the soundtrack to an old-fashioned style tv Christmas variety show with each song & musician on their own set. That's how I picture it! m.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I can't adequately describe how much fun I had making these holiday cards for my coworkers!

Hiii everyone I'd love to get up to 550 a month on my Patreon by the end of the year so if you could share this post...much appreciated <3 Im a freak and I make comics

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

for World AIDS Day, a 1988 cartoon from the Advocate's Gerald Donelan

"Imagine you stole all of the intellectual property in the world. And you're using it to help people write middling emails and make revenge porn about women, and also children. And you're powering this plagiarism and non-consensual porn machine by eating up what's left of humanity's carbon budget."

Oh no

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve seen Bob Dylan Bjork Dick Dale Dolly Parton Rasputina
