The way I laughed so hard at this 🤣 I need Light screaming like a little bitch 😝

BAGGER: (spilling my groceries on the floor) Oh God. I'm so sorry. This isn't what I'm supposed to do. ME: How are you supposed to do it? MANAGER: She means she was gonna be a fox. In the woods and shit. But something happened and she got stuck. BAGGER: (crying) Got so stuck.

you will have to pry the millennial “lol” from my cold dead hands. i don’t know how else to express minor despair. if i didn’t say “lol” after admitting i’m a husk inside, i’d have to develop emotional resilience, and i simply don’t have time for that

just had my biweekly 4-hour phone call with my best friend who lives in Minneapolis and boy we screamed out a lot of cathartic rage but I did learn one useful fact I didn’t know! when a governor calls up their state’s national guard, it means the president then cannot federalize them

Society parried the ozone layer, acid rain, and Y2K back to back and instead of going "wow, parrying is badass" a lot of people went "society didn't even get hit so I guess there's no need to learn how to parry" and instantly took a thousand hits

Nuanced take: I think it's really important to give *normal citizens* who supported Trump and off-ramp and *professional writers, pundits and politicians* who supported Trump should have to wear it like a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives

This is a good lesson, no matter how you come to learn it

Fuck ice.

Discworld QOTD, from Pyramids “It was said that life was cheap in Ankh-Morpork. This was of course, completely wrong. Life was often very expensive; you could get death for free.”

related to that, my brother who lives in the epicenter of the raids and protests in Minneapolis says that the sounds of the whistles and honking are welcome, inspiring, good sounds - those "shrill" whistles and horns communicate that, when ICE invades, you are not alone -

damn what is wrong with me, i am having the hardest time concentrating on work, i lament as i compulsively refresh live feeds of unspeakable horrors

There is a minority of the population who we are never going to convince not to be hateful and ignorant pieces of shit. The good news is that they ARE a (shrinking!) minority and we don't actually need them. The growing tide is in our favor

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

someone popped into my comments and was like “is anyone doing laundry for folks afraid to leave their house?” because their laundromat is usually full and is empty. what an amazing idea. make a google form. send the link to people with a resource directory. start doing laundry.

We keep talking about the midterms as if we're very sure of the issues that are going to decide them, but I think about where the country was a month ago and where it is now, and I honestly can't begin to (and don't want to) imagine the world we'll be living in come November.

Respect for the occupational solidarity that will save us. This photographer he'd never met was someone he could trust to keep his property safe and return it when he was released from custody.

There have been confirmed reports from local organizers in Portland ME that ICE is knocking on doors claiming to be from MaineCare and “offering help“

This is why you shouldn’t ignore a jury summons. Because you can be like ‘lol’ and acquit someone in a half hour

some important advice i always give to new artists just starting out: "it has to be perfect if it's not perfect, i, shen comix, will personally kick your ass"

Y'all, the most important elections this year are the races for county clerk, election supervisor--all the ppl who decide how ballots are cast and counted. PLEASE put these local elections in your calendar & make sure you vote. Bring someone else with you. Nag them until they vote to shut you up.

Your terrible wages - billionaires Unaffordable housing - billionaires No Healthcare - billionaires Unaffordable Energy - billionaires People who will save your life or look after you in a care home - immigrants

One thing I noticed is that the thugs keep moving to smaller cities. They started in L.A. and kept pretty tame while hoping the National Guard would do their dirt. Then tried going into Chicago but got scared. Now getting stopped by a city with 450k people. Next stop: rural Maine.

Conservatives Say Renée Good Was Brainwashed By Bible Into Loving Thy Neighbor https://theonion.com/conservatives-say-renee-good-was-brainwashed-by-bible-into-loving-thy-neighbor/

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

2026 is the year we should all start reading books again Books are lovely. Libraries are wonderful places. Second hand book shops are mysterious and magical. Markets and fairs always contain surprise gems. And there are even cafes in forgotten street corners with excellent coffee and reading nooks

You can go ahead and unfollow me if you sincerely believe that drawing, writing, or shipping something, ANYTHING taboo, is 100% indicative of a real human being's beliefs and that people who engage with transgressive works are 'abusers waiting to happen'. This mindset is fascism in its purest form.

And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you *know*. That the bourgeois are not human.

I had better see a record number of reposts on this.

Stay aware, alert, and prepared. Iceout.org is an informative site where you can see real time witness reports of ICE and their locations: observed, active, and critical. It is more important than ever to share these resources. Do not ignore what is happening.

Getting a lot of messages. A lot are like "Can I come help?" (appreciated, but unless you know the area very well, probably not THAT useful) or "Can I send money?" (not to me, please). But the best ones are like "I want to build what you guys have back in my home city." YES, DO THAT. DO IT NOW.

what if I told you that normal people don't tend to commit crimes when they're not starving, desperate, and have access to healthcare and therapy and the people you should really be worried about are those in power you will likely never make eye contact with the people who are actually fucking you

If we are going to treat this as a sort of civil war, then one thing I would like everyone to keep in mind is the victors of the last one were nowhere near harsh enough in their dealings with the lead traitors.

Spoilers are the weapon of the enemy. We do not need them. We will not use them.

Happy Transphobes are trash day! Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow, same time every place.

We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

Shouldn't it be a bigger story that the immigration cops are seizing and imprisoning people who CANNOT POSSIBLY BE IMMIGRANTS

My partner @jasoncapsaicin.bsky.social made a step by step guide on how to break up ice in your neighborhood in Minnesota. Enjoy!

I'm just gonna go ahead and post this now.

Checking in with Ancestor Babushka and she's still alarmed.

RE: Hiveworks stuff, it's become really clear is how much of the toxicity of the leadership came from seeing fellow artists as competition and threats rather than comrades who lift each other up. The world is big enough for all of us. I hope we can work together and fight our real enemy (fascists)

I’ve seen way too many wojaks of Renee Good in the past few days and I wonder if the people making them know that they will never be loved in any way that is meaningful and that they’ve sold their soul to a billionaire conman pedophile who would kill them in a second if it put money in his pockets.

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk theonion.com/report-you-t...

a queer woman lightly mocked an ICE officer so they shot her wife right in front of her. now they’re trying to justify it by making it a capital crime to mock them in many ways that’s a core tenet of right-wing ideology: Lesser People should be forbidden (by force if necessary) to laugh at you

A thing to keep in mind here: This issue of ICE/DHS barring clergy from offering pastoral care or religious rites to detainees is triggering lawsuits, protests (with arrests of pastors) and blowback from *Pope Leo.*
