Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

My grand theory is that 6.5 is the ideal rating on IMDb for an interesting movie because it means it alienated idiots. If you’d like proof: Almost every Kiyoshi Kurosawa movie is rated between 6.3-6.9.

By the way - I first sketched this comic back in April, then posted the sketch to Patreon.

And guess what? It WAS "Pastry Week" on "Great British Bake-Off" this week!

What's the secret of comedy?

TIMING! (And Pastries.)

The WGN video producer who was shoved to the ground and arrested by ICE this morning was released, without charges, at 3pm. I'm hoping she and WGN sue ICE and win. And betting the federal judge who issued a restraining order last night blocking EXACTLY THIS is furious.

not that i'm a fan of this, but the US has military bases in dozens of countries, and I've always been curious about the reaction folks would have to hosting a foreign military here. guess we get to find out now

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Take a few deep breaths, drink some water, take your meds.
-Don’t seek out the social media of people you’ve removed from your life.
-The Cursed Object is the one shrieking “don’t read my diary!” for a change.
