Patrons - I swear I have multiple posts that will go up tonight & tomorrow, including September's sketchbook and probably a free post or two.

I just spent 45 mins writing a post, only for my Patreon app to suddenly, irrevocably delete it all when I touched the wrong part of the screen by accident.

I'm working now & my checks are paying the bills... but because I'm working, we've now lost our SNAP completely.

I'm *this close* to not needing to do this every week.

Still, if anyone feels led to help with some gas & grocery money, it would be appreciated.

Thanks so much!!!

Costumed protesters in Portland defy description of the city as a 'war zone'

Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.

I wrote this a few years ago. In this article, I distinguish between a morality that comes “down from above” (*either a deity or an autocratic leader) and an agreed-upon ethical system

“Morals are for You or Me: Ethics are for Us” mikeinsac.wordpress.com/2020/04/27/m...

“Morals are for You or Me: Ethics are for Us”

I believe it is time for all societies to stop using Moral Imperatives to guide our actions. Instead, Ethical Guidelines work much better and will always aid us in improving society. Let me explain…

i don't really post video but if you see me miss something like this on a repost or something just ping me and ill take it down, i am trying to both a) learn the signs to spot them and b) not post things that just raise everyone's blood pressure without a call to action, but i don't always manage

If I see you posting AI slop, it's an instant block. Even if you think it's cute or says a lot about society. If you are purporting that some AI slop is real news, I will report you for misinformation, and then block you. Sloppers should be marginalised.

We are meant to fall through these cracks by design. It's eugenicist. The cruelty is the point.

Ok, #Portland - I just ordered an inflatable frog costume for Halloween, so please keep this shit up, cause I need it to still be relevant three weeks from now, ok?

Photo of a green inflatable frog costume from Temu (which I have never used before) Marked down from $118 to $24, which is the ONLY reason I could afford it. I hope it gets here in time, but if not I can still use it or loan it out for protests here.

Fund Friday post :

Happy Friday Yall. Post fundraising links, cashapp links, whichever campaign needing help on . ♥️

Screenshot of a text message conversation on a purple background. The first message from AJ Link at 7:48 AM reads: “Howdy pals. Can I ask for a favor. If anyone has capacity or time today can they do a fund Friday post. I know lots of people need help.” This message has a heart reaction. The second message, also at 7:48 AM, replies: “Obviously what everyone does with their CPU is sacred. So no pressure.“

People will tell you velveeta is nasty, and it is, but it is the secret textural component of so many soups and pasta dishes, man.

I would say if you can't afford an inflatable, any old costume will do as long as it covers your face! The costumes serve the same purpose as black bloc + masks.

I do a thing in my theater arts class where everyone gets to choose a “drama name” if they want. Some do, some don’t; some stick with one drama name, some change it up. Either way, as soon as they let me know their preference I immediately and consistently refer to them by that name.
