In addition to calling your senator, may I recommend sending them a free fax? It annoys the shit out of them especially when their mailboxes are full. Senate Dems have the power to block ICE/DHS funding and @schumer.senate.gov & @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social need to hear from you.

this reminds me of the way i’ve seen susan bro speak about her daughter, heather heyer. when a fascist murders your child, you aren’t allowed to just grieve. you have to defend their memory, even their very grave.

just outright lying

i'm so fucking sick of being lied to i'm gonna go crazy

This is straight up the plot of Common Side Effects

There is no version of medical ethics under which this is anything other than lunacy

Gross as hell. We are currently paying for ICE bounty hunters to do this to Americans

This was a thoughtful essay, worth clicking

In addition to thinking that asylum seekers are literally coming from insane asylums, do you think Trump also wants to invade Greenland because he thinks it’s green and lush? Doug’s theory is because he doesn’t understand the Mercator projection distortion. Also possible!

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Important--this is the most significant Trump revenge prosecution that has been flying under the radar. @replamonica.bsky.social we stand with you! Friends please give a read....

COW! TOOLS!

The “liquid glass” iOS update is one of the most fucking annoying things that Apple has done and that includes forcing a latter U2 album onto all of us without our consent. Annoying AND fucking awful for usability.

Yesterday, these incompetent fucks were just going door-to-door in a neighborhood near my house at 8:30 in the morning. School buses were driving through trying to pick up kids, people were out walking their dogs, and people were taking out their trash cans.

next reporter who interviews stephen miller should ask him point blank if his goal in minneapolis is to kill more americans

i desperately need to know if this baby is ok because i’m going to lose my mind, you know?

This list is getting regularly updated with more scouts, so, if you’re looking to grab cookies this year? Start here.

Hey everyone, We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history. Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

I cannot wait for these people to all get PAINFUL acne from rubbing fucking tallow on themselves Jesus fucking Christ

Why?

No little kid job update today, but a ceramics artist at the short term residency where I am this week asked me to draw on a cup that she deliberately threw on the ground first? Things are dumb beyond reason right now but this was a nice thing to get to do?

he announced that he black bagged the sitting president of a foreign country on the same website where he posted an AI generated image of jb pritzker holding a mcdouble

Wholesome little kid job update: slammed, crazy busy, and a little girl decided to help me clean. She had on the same apron and said, “look, I’m a worker too!” Less than 48 hours into Mamdani’s reign and the five year olds are practicing class solidarity.

Oh my god

Self portrait, 2025. No reflections on the year, just eerie wailing and haunting laughter. May 2026 find you and yours safe and warm.

Wholesome little kid job update: we had a Sonic the Hedgehog fan yesterday.

I had the little kids at work today make “bowls of soup” and this tiny artist gave me her soup as a present when she was done 🥺

these “christian nationalists” aren’t afraid enough of hell

“disavowing” your vote does jack shit for the people who said it would harm them and are now screwed by the current thing they asked you not to do

as I said this morning please give this season if you can. here are a few places trying to help: solitarywatch.org/donations/do... www.theyoungcenter.org cityofasylum.org www.zakat.org

ICYMI, I need to learn to say “like” a lot less

Had the immense pleasure of talking to Christina Rowatt for @newnoisemagazine.bsky.social’s We Wreck Records podcast. Watch a short feature version over at their YouTube channel (includes visuals of the work discussed!) and find the full episode wherever you do the podcast thing. Thanks!!

The world continues to be shit so here’s a wholesome interruption from the little kid art job: I got a present from a three year old yesterday. I can’t make the Carolee Schneeman joke at work but I CAN make it here.

Congratulations to everyone who wrote an op-ed about how he just wants americans to eat better

He should be held criminally liable for each preventable death

In a world of shit, a moment to appreciate a small good thing: the 8 year old at work (I work at a kid art space) who drew a robotic rat in his sketchbook.

I don't know what to say about this garbage vote to criminalize gender affirming care btw. Been trying to find the words. I hear so many friends in sadness and fear today but of what use is "I hear you"? Not much I fear. To live through this moment sucks ass (negative). We must find a way through

he demanded they let him address the nation because he was lonely

You know, somehow it’s all gotten even stupider.

Primary them all and block anybody who comes with the “at this crucial juncture the most important thing is that we win.” if they believed that they wouldn’t do this and with friends like them nobody needs enemies

And @schumer.senate.gov led the fucking charge. Appalling.

Per usual, @schumer.senate.gov is throwing his trans constituents under the bus. Morally reprehensible. Spineless. Gormless.

Per usual, @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social is throwing her trans constituents under the fucking bus

Had a limited number of these due to an error by the printing company and they went faster than I expected (I’ll have more in the new year), BUT I have a bunch of very lightly blemished bandanas I put up, so, if you don’t mind a drip (of varying degrees of obvious): ampwall.com/a/carolinedr...

If you need to hold up a stage coach but you want to do it WITH FLAIR, look no further than my @ampwall.com page. Bandana features some red efts, ghost pipe, lichen, & moss, and it'll look fantastic on your dog. Really, has a dog EVER looked bad in a bandana? No. ampwall.com/a/carolinedr...

TBH it was a nice surprise to click this article and see it was the Catholic church literally just down the road from where I grew up. It's a blue collar suburb in Boston that can be prrrrrretty reactionary, so, Woke St. Susanna's was refreshing.

I look forward to reading two year end lists each year: @thequietus.com and Zach’s

What are your favorite records that came out this year? What have you been listening to this year that did NOT come out this year?

ICYMI, absolutely hair-raising stuff from Rep Adam Smith here about what lawmakers learned in the latest briefing about the second strike killing two men:

New @bloodofgodszine.bsky.social is hitting mailboxes so I finally get to share GREEN AND HOLY VIOLENCE, ink, watercolor, and gouache on paper. Some gal pals having good, clean, traditional fun hanging around with snakes and dismembering things. Reproduced at about actual size in the zine!
