while I have people's attention today can I tell you about Zakat? I learned of them from Sami Zayn. they do amazing work around the world -- in Gaza, in Sudan, in Bosnia...they have a migrant shelter in Chicago...an org worth knowing! www.zakat.org

HAPPY THROUGH THIS FIRE ACROSS FROM PETER BALKAN DAY, apologies to anyone who sees me for the next month this is all i'm gonna be talking about

I need a version of that “war is bad/woah cool robot” meme but it’s me anytime a series has a Little Guy in it. yes this applies to mobile suit gundam

Ok so basically the main thing you need to understand about Gamera is that he’s a friend to all children

I think it’s time…..for me to start watching gundam

I wanted to go back to a biweekly SV schedule with this new miniseries I’ve been writing, but seasonal depression + day job exhaustion has hit me so hard this week >< might have to put off the next installment until next Friday instead and focus on refilling some batteries

be stoked, stay stoked, all around the country the people are back at it

finally some good fucking news!!!!!!!

the new Florence + the Machine album whips absolute ass

I’ve BEEN doing cross stitch…..my typos will haunt me until the end of my days

food banks can often get more food with your dollar than you can, so as good as food drives can feel, giving food banks money is so much more impactful!! once again bringing up the Friendship Center who could sorely use the help: friendshipcenterchicago.org

overcoming my shyness to say: I’ve doing cross stitch as a hobby lately, here’s @barrykramer.bsky.social’s barrShy Twitch emote! 👉👈

stay hooooome from work if you’re sick!!!! especially if you have a job you can easily do at hooooome!!! it’s very easy and why you decide to commute into the office just to not even use cough drops and make this room a sonic nightmare is beyond me

fresh from crying at and about this comic (positive): I am telling you to buy Erin’s comic (before it’s too late, SBCF ends on the 31st!)

Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life. It aids fascism.

important reminder: food banks usually prefer money to direct food donations because they can buy at discounted rates check with your local food bank to be sure but now is the time to help out

On this week's Steamed Veggies: An unexpected introduction.

every once and a while it sounds like there's a goddamn sandworm in my upstairs neighbor's unit, that or the most aggressive butter churn of all time, and look if you're making either the spice melange or butter you should let me in on that if i have to deal with the noise

ICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it’s like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. dansinker.com/posts/202…

As ICE continues to terrorize our communities, kidnapping our neighbors, 9 cyclists came together this morning at 6am to buyout 5 vendors and donate the food to a local shelter. They went home safe, hungry ppl were fed, this is #BikeChi ✊🏽

on great pirates

I know I'm always banging on about this, but food banks can do so much more with your donation if you give money rather than food itself.

If you can afford it, a *monetary* donation (it goes a lot farther!) to your local food bank would be a most excellent thing to do right now.

reading a Stephen King novel for the first time and in the first hour (audiobook) I’ve been introduced to three separate characters who just say the wackest shit ever and then just fuck off into the void. 10/10 so far

using “hsr” as an acronym for gachagame should be a crime. those are homestar runner’s sacred initials you heathen

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.
