Izzy radiates her halo of light to all those who would look upon her

The world is falling apart but there are still double rainbows from time to time (namely yesterday evening) (the one up top is a bit faint so Look Closer)

Same, ghost crab, same

Good time to be a mean bitch to Nazis.

For the roses

Ordinary People is still one of my favorite movies, thank you, Robert. RIP

At this point, if you’re a journalist at the Washington Post who *hasn’t* been forced out by the new idiots in charge, you should probably take a hard look at your work to see what you’re doing wrong

My little Q&A with Diane DiMassa, creator of the cult classic comics zine, Hothead Paisan, is up and at em on Publishers Weekly: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Just a small sampling of the fabulous crop art on display at this year’s “Great State Get-together”, aka the MN state fair. My pal Cathy Camper did the portrait of Julio Torres.

I wish someone would do a comparison of grocery prices now to grocery prices last October. Like, maybe the Democratic Party, I don't know.

The joys of going to a matinee on a weekend afternoon

My little Q&A feature with Diane DiMassa, one of the legendary figures of the 90s queer zine/homocore scene, coming soon on Publishers Weekly. In the meantime, get the book, it’s fantastic 💥

I would love for this audiobook to be a success to offset all the bad energy from the Unbound debacle so it would be great for it to get shared around on your different outlets. But only if the Huntress Mother moves you to do so. . . I’m sure She will be forgiving if you shun Her love…maybe…probably

Let sleeping dogs lie, trust me

My graphic memoir Marry Me a Little, published in ‘23, captures what it’s like to be queer and exchange wedding vows, which my beloved and I did in here in MN in ‘13. Within its pages there are panels devoted to Kim Davis, whose villainy has emerged yet again, an unwelcome jump scare for 2025.

Boots is giving me doleful realness

Portrait of a dog FORCED AGAINST HER WILL to have a bath just because she rolled around outside in some random poop WHICH IS TOTALLY HER RIGHT BY THE WAY this aggression will not stand she will have justice in this life or the next

David Byrne came to my band’s show at a gay bar in Bed-Stuy and sang This Must Be The Place with us and I still haven’t processed it

Since this is blowing up - this is my band Brass Queens playing at C’mon Everybody in BK last night (sharing a bill with fab Selena tribute band Cinco12)! We’re local to NYC but play all over the US/Canada and I can’t promise DB will be there but I CAN promise you’ll have a blast tr.ee/YwV9F6yjcl

Update from the porch: a skinned knee but otherwise all is green and pritty

Aaand mic drop

So say we all!

In deep July, in the Northern hemisphere, one is hardly able to conceive of socks. How dreadful & abstract they seem! How brutal!

These two lovely ladies making their rounds this morning

Izzy enjoys visiting the lush salad bars of St Paul

We are witnessing, in real time, an entire political party shielding the most notorious sex trafficking ring of the modern era. This isn’t silence — it’s complicity.

Cute tabletop things

Went bowling with a bunch of Twin Cities cartoonists and we were graceful AF

1) Earn Leftist Votes 2) Scapegoat Leftists Choose one.

Saw the new Superman movie just because I heard all the MAGA dipshits are upset about it (“It’s WOKE!”) It kind of cute for a superhero movie and Krypto is a great dog character.

compare & contrast Gertie's pose with that of a spatchcocked chicken

I am still snubbing a certain sister of mine and I don’t really feel guilty about it—more like sad/angry/disgusted.

Sunday afternoon good times with Gertie

the thing that none of these articles will admit is that it’s often not even that they’re being snubbed for being conservative it’s that they’re being snubbed for being assholes “let’s get together and leave politics at the door” you first

Gertie is queen of the porch today
