A four panel comic strip. Panel one: text reads β€œI love drawing my scrungly guys at the computer.” A coyote is shown looking at the viewer over his shoulder whilst typing at a computer. Panel two: text reads β€œBut what are they computing?” A close of view of a badge on the computer reading β€œCBM- Coyote Business Machines.” Panel three: text reads β€œMaking a game? Drawing up a budget? Home automation?” The coyote says, β€œI use the computer to communicate!” Panel four: a close view of the computer screen, showing a simple program written in Basic: β€œ10 print β€œyip” 20 goto 10” Run Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip

Her License Was Invalidated For Being Trans β€” Assigned β€œI wish I could convey to them that the people they’re hurting are real human beings,” says Juniper, 24, of Witchita Kansas.

Many news outlets are reporting that some trans Kansans received letters warning that their licenses were being invalidated overnight.

This morning, Evan Urquhart spoke with a trans woman who found out on Bluesky that it would be illegal to drive her car.

A cartoon drawing posted on a corkboard. It is titled β€œDog Sitting” and it shows various dogs sitting at home, on the bus, and at the DMV (Dog Motor Vehicles) office.

I finally sought out an LGBTQ-informed and polyamory-informed therapist and I've only had an intake with them so far but it's so nice to describe my life and hear them immediately understand

If I've kinda disappeared from social media lately it's because I've got some nice group chats going with friends now and I've been more inclined to share time and thoughts with a few friends than with the internet at large. Can't always respond right away but my DMs remain open πŸ’œ

IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS:

TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION

"Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

Nowadays my comics are seen mostly through unauthorized reposting to other sites (FB, YT, IG). That's fine but please credit me and link the website (raccoony.com). There are always comments asking what comic is this, and who made it. People want to know, and this fox deserves some credit! 🧑

A scanned image of a sketchbook with drawings on it. At top, a quadrupedal wolf is shown sniffing the ground behind a sedan with a small wolf in the back seat. The quadrupedal wolf has thought bubbles above his head, showing that he recognizes the smell of a road atlas and a wilderness parking pass. In the second drawing, the quadrupedal wolf is shown seated next to the smaller wolf in the car, both wearing three-point seatbelts, telling him what it is like to run free in grassy fields. In the third image, the small wolf gazes out the window, imagining himself as quadrupedal, running through the same grasses and flowers.

Left ANE 2026

Attending my first furry con with my partners, our 9-going-on-10-year-old, and my sister, with all of us staying at another hotel, is probably not how it's usually done. And yet it was a really positive experience for me personally, and more surprisingly for us as a family πŸ’œ

As someone wrapping up 13 years of service I can confirm alot of this as absolutely true, some of it while I wont say is exaggerated, is not in fact everyone's experiance. Brainwashing can be a MOS specific thing as someone who has been in 2 branches and held 4 seperate job codes.

But!

I'm hardly original in saying this, but a lot of people are going to try to make this about whether Maduro being gone is good or bad as such, rather than the blatant violation of international and US law in a destabilizing act of aggression.

Don't fall for it.

I watched an English-language NHK documentary short once about the protocol for a typical visit to a Shinto shrine 5 years ago and since then I've been obsessed with this form of spirituality that is about stepping out of daily life for a minute to visit the gods who live next door
