My mom is a NEWC board member, which is how she wound up with Bling. He is of indeterminate age but much older than 14 since he was fully mature when she got him 30 years ago. He spends the rest of the year in Cambridge, mostly digging holes under the porch. Here he is with my mom and kid.

Took my kid’s pet 🐀 to the nonprofit Odd Pet Vet. Mid apt kid says “um, why is there a tortoise walking down the hall?” Vet: oh that’s Bling, he’s had free rein of this place for 14 years Me: protecc bling at all costs 😍

Someone finally tied it all together.

This has context, but I think it’s more fun if I don’t tell you what it is and just say here’s a couple of sheep folks I drew.

You guys post shouting at politicians when you *know* you would fail a simplified US citizenship test and that is why social media is dying

it’s so difficult to find a place to live…

longing once again for a world where more people are capable of grasping complex and inscrutable concepts like “it’s still really really good for Democrats if they *lose* by a much smaller margin than expected in Tennessee”

The Problem of Evil? No, the Problem of WEEVIL! (The year is 1925 and boll weevils are destroying cotton crops all over the US South)

Why is there candy gore in the new Spongebob movie trailer? Why is everything just 2013 tumblr but irl (derogatory)?

Oh, so people just be slangin’ terminology they don’t understand…

Guy voted for a rapist and just can’t figure out why his daughters are mad at him. Clearly it must be something wrong with them.

rise up and eat some faces

Yesterday was #WorldAIDSDay. It's the first time since its inception in 1988 that the US has not formally recognized it.

This administration, aside from their moral depravity, is what happens when you put the woefully unqualified in charge who are also unused to their ideas facing even the smallest amount of scrutiny.

It is easy to be radically consistent and unwavering in your message when you keep yourself in a position on the fringe, with no actual power to influence policy.

It’s Election Day in Tennessee, and we know: The power is with the people. If you live in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, head to IWillVote.com to make sure you know when and where to vote today.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

I hope Woke 2 means we get to dispense with the fear of exercising power and the glorification of being an underdog in itself. Because no, I don't want to be the underdog forever. I don't want to constantly fight the establishment. I want cultural hegemony. I want the reactionaries trembling.

POV: you're in the museum's Ice Age dioramas hall #SciArt #artbyjulio

it's especially cool to have no idea what's going to cause this now. probably safest to just not have a job

imagine getting a normal marketing asset commission from a pretty big company to do some lighthearted gay shit and not only does it end up on every right wing ragebait site but the people on your side of the aisle act like you put Elminster in a Hatsune Miku binder

from experience there's nothing cooler than when the right wing hates you for doing something Woke at the exact same time the people who normally would have gone "eh" and scrolled decide it's repulsively cringe

tangentially related but I've seen this single marketing image used across the political spectrum as the prime example of everything that's annoying and bad about D&D now, and I feel awful for the person who was basically paid to make a cute piece of art at the wrong moment in the zeitgeist

It’s World AIDS Day. Last month, I was the keynote speaker at Philadelphia FIGHT’s 35th Anniversary Gala — an organization that has been on the front lines of HIV treatment, advocacy, and community care for decades.

Meant to properly show the grouping but been busy! Many continue thanks for those who have commissioned me on this theme, still have a bit to go ! Recent medieval comm batches. there are a few other folks that i still need to display but require a different format etc #vonzentart

Chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party, @abreezeclayton.bsky.social, highlights the importance of competing in every county across every state!

Thanks to Gov. @roycoopernc.bsky.social, Gov. @joshsteinnc.bsky.social and Democratic leadership, Medicaid was expanded to nearly 700,000 North Carolinians two years ago. While the NCGOP seeks to cut healthcare, we'll keep fighting to ensure all North Carolinians can afford to access care.

Candidate filing opened today in North Carolina! If you’re someone who’s interested in running for office, but doesn’t know where to start, fill out our form at NCDP.org/run-for-office! Let someone on our team contact YOU about running! 🤠🤠🤠

Two years ago, we did what everyone said we couldn’t: We expanded Medicaid. It was a decade-long battle that was well worth it to get quality, affordable health care to more than 690,000 North Carolinians. We worked with everyone — Republicans & Democrats alike — to get it done.

Marina Warner described it as "marvellously spirited and adroit storytelling.Reynar" To buy a signed and gift-wrapped book, order directly from me!

When yall say things like everyone is poor it makes me realize that you have not actually looked poverty in the face. It is absolutely disingenuous for anyone to liken him/herself to people who cannot pay bills, who are unhoused, who truly have empty cupboards, who do not have warm sheets.

I need to make it to next Monday

I felt compelled to make this upon hearing Eider duck calls...

yeah they captured basically every fuckin institution on earth that matters, but it's still not enough for these control freak cultural revolution mfs as long as a group of random kids somewhere is playing the silly dice game in an unapproved way

if we live to see better times, one of the things im gonna stress to the future people lucky enough to not live through this is how fucking *tedious* authoritarianism was

I have blocked about a dozen of these identical accounts today alone. What the fuck is @safety.bsky.app letting happen on their app?

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

Many folks here have had the foresight to block both racists *and* transphobes, it doesn't have to be one or the other

What a traumatic year
