Want to support the creation of a radical leftist cartoon? Check out thecrystalcityfalls.carrd.co

Elevator pitch for normies: Two elves are drawn into a deadly conspiracy that could unravel the ancient secret behind their very immortality.

Elevator pitch for leftists: it is anarchist propaganda.🤷

Splash image in format of characters/character heads mashed together in a big composition. Protagonist Liirem is on the left, a tall elf with long hair wearing blue halos about his head and neck. To his right are the flamecasters Mia (holding a fireball) and Rhem (holding a flaming spear) with their friend Rieni doing a backflip over their heads, and their leader Araan looking over their shoulder on the far right. Behind Liirem stand a number of indistinct figures representing Omera and Mikel (bloodcasters like Liirem), the orc Serak, and the elder Vesiin. Larger above them is Draagrin--two elves (Dravem and Gria) who operate as a single "harmonic" entity, and three waterfolk: Ssvyra raising a fist, Viys holding a book, and Rhysaar, who has a long fishy mermaid tail.

Lineup of introductory designs. Left to right: Omera (not introduced until the second episode), Araan, Rieni, Rhem, Mia, and finally Liirem, who is at least a head taller than everyone else.

Digitally-revised storyboard panel. Liirem stands behind Rhem and Mia as they watch Draagrin take the stage to speak. Araan glances at them from the foreground. All around them, the crowd of elves chants "Draagrin", holds signs, and waves flags.

Liirem stands in the open door of a train looking breathless and panicked. "I think that was blood magic!" he shouts into the train.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Das ist ein unterhaltsamer, ernsthafter, engagierter und (hoffentlich) überzeugender Versuch des Youtubers Plankton, junge Leute von Rauchen abzuhalten. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zyE...

Fang NIEMALS mit dem Rauchen oder Vapen an. Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever!

I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

just being straight up 100% serious that if you are cis you should have to either pass an oral exam on whipping girl or secure the signatures of 40 trans people, one of whom is julia serano, before being allowed to shove trans shit into your tv shit

Julia Serano @juliaserano.bsky.social · 1d

apparently the new Netflix show Monster: The Ed Gein Story invented an "autogynephilia" backstory for their serial killer (because of course they did!). so time to re-up my collection of writings on this pseudoscientific zombie theory...

Three people protesting outside the Portland, OR ICE facility, dressed in inflatable frog costumes, holding a small sign that says “Portland Frog Brigade”.

Over top of the photo is white text reading: “Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."”

I do think it’s important.

A comic of a black spikes figure speaking to a white figure with a rectangular head. Black figure: “Everything fucking sucks. And everyone online is like… Make art! Art is, you know, super important! But what if nobody cares about my art? Who is that going to help? Who is that gonna SAVE?” White figure: “You. And a few people like you, maybe.” Black figure: “Yeah. Maybe.”

If eight of my artist/games/writer friends could make $100,000 a year it would be completely life changing for every single one of them. It's hard to overstate how infuriating and inhumane this feels "lol"

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

(He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

I painted this protest sign earlier this summer hoping to spread an important message.

Protest sign reading:

Antifa is not a gang! If you are against (anti) fascism (fa), then welcome comrade, to Antifa.

There's also a little cartoon Hitler guy getting punched out with swastika eyes and a grinning sunshine with sunglasses and a Molotov and a Palestine flag.
