Guys being Dudes

Comic about a scruffy little dog? I’m in.

I have an extensive collection of “find the chihuahua” pics on my phone 😆

I mean, they’re both right, but only one of them has a gold medal to back up all the shit talk.

I love how nitpicky Johnny Weir is at every ladies skater but as soon as Tara Lipinski points out a flaw in a man’s routine, it’s all “but he was so pretty!!!”

Never change, you catty bitch.

There's exactly one normal man left on planet Earth.

A comic in black/white/blue. Lucy rolls her bike through an alley, by a crew building a fence. Narration: My neighbors hired a crew to rebuild their fence. Crew member: "Do you need us to move our stuff out of the way?" Lucy: "Oh! No, you're all good, thanks!" Lucy: "Have a good one!" Crew member: "You, too!"

Narration: I was teaching when my phone started lighting up with alerts from the rapid response network and neighbor chat. Lucy's back is to us as she shows a group of enthusiastic children something on a notebook. Behind her, her phone in her bag is buzzing. Narration: By the time the lesson was over, they were already gone. Lucy is reading messages on her phone. Messages: Alert: black SUV Sighting: be on alert for... Confirmed abductionL alley between ----- and ----. SUV plates... We tried to get them inside, but it was too... ...Contacting an I.R. lawyer. Heading to Broadview later today.

Lucy is riding her bike home. Narration: On the ride home, I kept thinking "If I'd been there, could I have warned them? Would my ICIRR* training have helped?" *Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Get trained and know your rights at ICIRR.org. Narration: I'd taken the training after Halloween, when the violent ICE raids had locked down our schools and driven our neighbors indoors. (Image of a halloween bucket in the shape of a jack-o-lantern) Narration: Halloween is fun here-- The community filling the streets and opening our doors to one another. But this year's was tense, frightened and subdued. Haunted.

Lucy is standing in the alley, staring at the newly built fence. Narration: When I got home, it was all done. The other two guys who had gotten inside in time stayed and finished the build. The new fence is superimposed with the brief exchange from earlier in the comic ("Have a good one" You, too") Narration: I see it every day and think about how those guys built this in the spot where strangers in masks took their friend. Narration: How many other places in our communities are similarly haunted? (Drawings of sidewalks, buildings, streets and windows)

"Haunted"

I can absolutely respect how unfunny this all is, but also as a born and raised Oregonian who can barely remember a time when he wasn’t my Senator, I also just wanna 🫡

Wyden gonna Wyden

probably not great that every natsec-adjacent reporter has spent the last 24 hours going "ron wyden expert here, this is not cute, ron wydens only do this when they're very distressed"

fuck em up ron

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

God I love Portland

As a Minnesotan who has dedicated his career to mental health issues, it's really hitting me that I'll be dealing with the ICE occupation for as long as I'm both a Minnesotan and a mental health person.
It's trauma for our community.
Most of us will survive. But we'll be forever changed.

Police Ask For Public’s Help In Falsifying Report

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests

- nazgul bodycams
- morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring
- shelob will be the new point of contact

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis

Lot of conservative dudes out there telling on themselves by being astounded by a level of ”logistics” that the average mom has to manage every fucking day

Maybe says something about the value-add in the C-suite if a full 1/5 of executives can replace 12 working hours per week with racist autocorrect.

Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives.

Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

I’m so sorry. Much love to your whole family.

I’m cold stratifying the milkweed seeds, I’m caterpillarcore, we’re butterflymaxxing, in my Lepidopt-era

A stylized red metal phoenix adorns a traffic circle

Bend, OR has some magnificent roundabout art, but I think the Phoenix Rising (known to locals as The Flaming Chicken) would fit the bill.

Saw something recently about straight women overwhelmingly say black boxer briefs are the sexiest men’s underwear, yet they’re the least popular choice for said men. Dudes, it’s okay to feel pretty and flirty and fun!

Happy Hollanov!

To me, my X-Mas!

You might be thinking, "CPSC, does a dry Christmas tree really burn that much faster than a well-watered tree?"

Friend, let's find out together by watching this PSA.

You’re right and you’re right to say it.

It’s me, hi, I’m not the problem but it’s me (use airport disability transit to get between gates but can load myself on/off)
