Memento Mori pages 1 - 4 in color. Still fucking with them but I thiiiink I'm close! There's a few tricks I want to try, some adjustments once I've got more pages colored, but I think these might be good.

Kind of feels like feds occupying our city for a month, killing one person and shooting another while attacking neighborhoods with chemical weapons and kidnapping hundreds of people already counts as a civil war whether the Guard arrives or not, but what do we know?

So you want to support living marginalized banned authors but your local banned books week displays and events are full of famous dead people?

Not to worry: your helpful non-binary bookseller is here to help!

A thing I think it’s important for USians not in currently-occupied cities to grasp is that the normal and everyday goes on alongside the violent and unprecedented.

In Chicago right now you can be forced off teargas-soaked streets in the morning and have a peaceful evening picnic on the lake.

Chicago is the greatest city in the world and what’s happening there is making my body physically hot and sore with rage. Every rich dentist in the Ohio exurbs with a barely touched jet ski voted for this because they led poor lives that are now nearly over. Chicago will outlast your boring anger.

Absolutely buckwild that Pritzker or any other Dem elected responsible for or supporting what’s happening this morning thinks this won’t go viral.

do you understand the issue isn’t “you won’t ban this one person,” it’s “you won’t ban a person who has actively violated ToS and instead you rewrote ToS to accommodate them & then ban people disproportionally in marginalized communities who have not violated ToS”, right. you get that’s the problem.

It’s so annoying that we all have to just continually point out how rules around/between decorum and violation are applied asymmetrically to vulnerable groups versus the people who are always hassling them, and it’s extra insulting that the people in charge are trying to lol it away.
