Upside down, by the ankles, and then treat him like a piñata.

when you win a small concession you just get to keep yelling btw. one time a local official said to me "you people are never happy" and like: correct! it is not our job to be happy with compromise! it's our job to be annoying forever actually

Who can reply: anyone, nobody, people who can be normal about it.

trying out a new feature, lmk if it works

LOL, probably! I think I had it set to that for a year or two, and probably around the time we met as well.

To Slay the Great Regurgitator

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

Nothing is surprising about the US starting another war. Nothing is more dangerous to Earth and mankind at large than the United States and its complete and utter failure to curtail the worst excesses of humanity. The US oligarchy and its influence on global politics must end.

I had this image as my profile pic on Facebook when I first started dating my husband over a decade ago. His mother was a bit alarmed by it until I posted a human selfie, but I still think that was a downgrade. The plush version is a prized possession!

Digital art. A waist up portrait of a young man with light brown skin and dark hair. His hair has purple, yellow and blue streaks in front. He's wearing a holographic cropped jacket over a yellow t-shirt and has a shirt tied around his waist. He's using an old mobile phone or a walkie talkie. Text over the image reads "you won't believe what I just heard."

Just a little guy from Florida who's been banned from 17 convenience stores, two shopping malls and a Denny's #digitalart #oc

Do you think it might have been a mistake to make the machine where we're supposed to get all our work done the same machine that we use to talk to everyone we've ever met, experience every song and movie ever made, watch porn, play video games, and fight to the figurative death with total strangers

punxsutawney phil (just had visions of pestilence, blood rain, malignant false idols, stillborn livestock): uuuh 6 more weeks of winter

I know everyone on the Cool Internet hates AI, but does anyone know where I can find the Even Cooler Internet where everyone still hates AI, but more importantly DOESN'T EVER POST IT?

Arresting Black journalists is also vice signaling. Their base is racist and hates journalists and they want to get them excited again. The mainstream media industry has never protected Black journalists or journalists of color the way it should.

Photo of a snow covered, desolate mall parking lot. A large store to the left has no sign on the entrance and no cars in its parking area.

Please enjoy the sights of Calamity Corners (no one but the weather app and Google Maps calls it that, but I think everyone should.)

graphic novels are so cool because i'll have an idea for a visual i really really want to draw and then 18-24 months later when i finally get there i'm like. whose dumb fucking idea was that

I've been representing protesters pro bono since Trump 1.0. In that time, I've represented protesters against the Muslim ban, ICE, trans bans, DEI bans, genocide in Occupied Palestine, police brutality, and more.

Want to know why more people don't protest? Here's why.

That gap in my resume? That’s when I was a conscientious objector to technofascism.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

signs left at alex pretti’s memorial in minneapolis: “i love you so much / i’ll miss you forever” photo with a friend, “i would have done the same. RIP alex,” a stethoscope and “we’ll take it from here, alex” and a tshirt for the minnesota nurses association

Digital art. Portrait of a man in his 30s or 40s, with glasses, short greying brown hair and a tidy, short beard. Small mushrooms sprout from his hair and he has a patch of lichen on his forehead, and ruffly pale mushrooms on his neck.

Four panel comic. Panel one: a young man stares at his cup of coffee. Thought bubble reads "feeling kinda... shit." An arrow towards the cup points out "coffee #3." Small bubbles are "popping" around his head to indicate a light headed, disoriented feeling. Panel two: shows a smartphone screen held in his hand. He's searching on a site called "doctor Boogle" with a ghost mascot. His search query is "can caffeine make you light headed?" The answer reads "Yes!" with bullet points of symptoms reading "increased heart rate, dehydration, anxiety." Panel three: he looks away from the phone and into the distance with a blank expression. The thought bubble reads "Damn, that's crazy." Panel four: The young man stands at a coffee shop counter. He looks increasingly woozy, almost drunk. A cashier can be seen at the counter from behind. Text reads "Can I get uhhhhhhhh large iced coffee, please, thanks, haha" in increasingly disorganized writing. The cashier has question marks near their head indicating confusion.

Rainbow coloured pencil sketch of a young man wearing a hoodie, with tears in his eyes. Text reads "no, I don't need help, I don't want to talk about it, don't get any closer to me" with some words struck through with dashed lines so that the phrases can also be read as "I need help, I want to talk about it, get closer to me."

Acrylic painting of orange, pink and white clouds in a yellow sky with an orange and pink sun and three white stars. Vertical pink lines in the background hint at the shape of some building in the distance or a disturbance in the atmosphere.

I haven't been posting here much because

1. Posting my silly little artist stuff feels strange right now

2. I'm working on pieces for publication and exhibition that I can't post yet

Nevertheless, here's a few things from the last couple of weeks. #art

"La migra" (pronounced la MEE-grah) is most important, but all of these are very useful. "La migra esta aquí" is how you say "ICE is here," and if you know they're on the way but not yet present, you can say "La migra esta llegando" (pronounced yay-gando) for "ICE is coming."

On the screen of a Nintendo 3DS: Manifesto of the Communist Party Preamble A spectre is haunting Europe -the spectre of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies. Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries? Two things result from this fact: I. Communism is already acknowledged by all European powers to be itself a power. II. It is high time that Communists should openly, in the face of the whole world, publish their views, their aims, their tendencies, and

Reading the Communist Manifesto the way Marx and Engels intended

The fact that they want to deport Native Americans should probably key in even the dumbest motherfuckers out there what this is really about.

At a church in Minneapolis that is hosting an anti-ICE singing vigil, which will later process through the neighborhood.

They sing: “This is for our neighbors who are locked inside, together we will abolish ICE.”

cannot stress enough that they are abducting legal observers left and right and people are hearing about this happening to other people and still immediately going “alright where can i go to help now”
