Go back and rewatch watchmen anyway, be ause the cops-in-masks theme is gonna make you go "oohhhhhh. …Shit."

Dr. Damien P. Williams! Look over here! … It's All For You! @wolvendamien.bsky.social · Jun 20

If you look at the 2019 watchmen series and somehow don't see a fullthroated and SCATHING critique of not only the culture of policing in the US, but also of US TV's very deep and persistent Copaganda problem, then you need to go back and rewatch watchmen.

Dr. Damien P. Williams! Look over here! … It's All For You! @wolvendamien.bsky.social · Jun 19

The connection of the original Watchmen to a conversation about the racist history of the United States, in general, but Policing, the "Lost Cause" myth, and mid-20th century American support for Fascism, in particular? Frankly fucking masterful.

I can finally pay attention to the SINNERS discourse on social media.

My two red, spoiler-free pennies is that it was great and lives up to the hype.

Here’s a not-unrelated piece I did for a show we put up in Charlotte, NC every year

I’m gonna carry Carolina Lily seeds in my pocket… whether I hand them out or they stay with me, I will always try and leave this place a little better than how I found it

Glenn Urieta @glennurieta.bsky.social · Mar 29

I think of the little Ukrainian woman that told the Russian invaders, “Take these seeds and put them in your pockets, so at least sunflowers will grow when you all lie down here…” When it happens let us find the bravery to speak in defense of ourselves and the ones that had their voices silenced.

I’m based in Charlotte, NC and while I haven’t felt the hand of the terrible anti-immigrant EOs or seen in person the state sanctioned, anti-first amendment abductions, or had any trans friends assaulted - these are all things happening right now in our country, in full view of everyone.

40th anniversary of #TheLastDragon. This movie cemented my love of kung-fu, Bruce Lee and over-the-top storytelling, so much so that I try and include those sensibilities in what I do. Also I saw someone write “we deserve a backstory for the Shogun of Harlem.”

Pariah state.

Four news headlines which say that Germany, Britain, Finland and Denmark have all issued travel warning for any of their citizens going to the United States. There is also a story of a Canada MP issuing a “fire warning” for people not to travel to the US.

The cognitive dissonance felt after spending the morning in conversation with local artists, supporting each other and articulating plans, only to come home and get news shotgunned into my eyeballs that indicate a possible future in which these plans cannot flourish is crippling.

Still taking commissions while looking for work. Check out rates on my website and if you’re looking for concept design work or storyboards - reach out! If I’m booked, I’ll spread the word. It’s wild right now and every connection helps

Posting tonight ti shine a light on what the Alien Enemies Act looks like IRL. Our @immdef.bsky.social client fled Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not. 🧵

Should’ve done that 12 months ago. If you didn’t do it then, do it now.

… and the people we can’t stand down the block or around the corner. So build your communities safely and vet thoroughly. Identify your affinity groups. Articulate your individual skill sets and recognize where you’re lacking. Then reach out to people that can plug that gap.

Most anybody reading this will not, nor ever be a billionaire. Never. You just won’t (Unless there’s a lonely ass billionaire creeping this shit. If so… ‘sup, loser. Go fuck yourself.) So the actions these folk are undertaking is class warfare directed at you and me and the people we love…

The Army just deleted without explanation its page about the 442nd “GO FOR BROKE” infantry regiment—the Japanese American WW2 unit that is the most decorated in US military history.
