During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I sometimes do work for publishing houses. This was a request that came to me the DAY that it was due and had NO assets for me to use: this is me taking a pdf of the book and making this from complete scratch! It would be good if you hired me actually! I can do stuff! This looks like a real ad!

NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump.

It’s oligarchs all the way down.

A nice woman once again brought her very small dog & it was OK to pet this sweet pup. The guy in veterans against Trump T-shirt, I had his permission to take a photo. Per one sign, yes, a masked ICE agent did indeed shoot a member of the clergy in the head at Broadview with a dangerous projectile 👎🏻

A small dog next to a sign that says death on blind 16 year-old dog says fuck ice.

ICE shot a priest in the head, on a sign at the Broadview ice protests

A man in a veterans against Trump T-shirt holds a sign with an American flag, and it says we the people, defend the constitution.

I would vote "blog" for now, because then you can also share that in a newsletter. Especially if your Patreon isn't finished yet.

Hi, just a note—

The local ICE/ERO agent directing his team to fire at reporters' faces in Chicago this morning has been threatening press since we showed up at immigration court in June. His agents shot us both at close range last week, too. None of this started today!

Screenshot of an 8 panel zine, discussing the reasons why you should watch Grand Designs. There are a few cartoon portraits of the host, Kevin McCloud, interspersed between sections of text, none of which is legible in this shot.

An illustrator alerted me to the attached email. Someone is impersonating me! Offering #kidlit illustrators fake deals!

This is not me! The deal-structure/schedule is insane. The deadline is quite friendly?! 10 picture books in 3 years?!

Please let me know if you receive an email like this!

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

This is a great time to remind everyone that you should in fact, still be calling MasterCard, Visa, Stripe, and other payment processors to annoy the shit out of them.

Not only this is amazing because part of fascism is the destruction of joy but it also makes it look ridiculous that the military is being deployed to put a stop to this

The Hearth (5/21))

Color comic page showing a woman in front of a forest of trees lit red and shadowed blue by the setting sun. She looks out at the sun, then turns back toward her sled filled with pinecones. As she does, there’s an insert panel of a goose’s wings pressing down in flight. The woman, Marika, turns back toward the setting sun to see the goose’s silhouette. Her stomach rumbles. She grips her bow and begins to short-ski up a snowy hill toward the goose and the setting sun.
