Welcome new Blueskeeters! That is our official name, we voted on it back in June! I'm Bryan, I make #art, work in #animation and am usually the correct amount of #sad. Here's a little bit of work from a personal project

It feels like a waste that ”Elon Musk” is the name of a real guy instead of a recurring comic relief background character from the Star Wars prequels whose thing is that he’s an eel alien who smells bad

This is the part that our historical memory of decolonization always omits. It was never about the consciences of the colonizing countries being moved, an empire has no conscience. It was about them no longer having enough people to hold onto their colonies post-WW2

I'm not sure there's an industry with a worse set of incentives than journalism. Do it well you get bodyslammed by the cops until your paper gets chopped into dog food by private equity. Do it poorly and you get made the president of all news by billionaire eugenicists

Unironically, the people who show up to fuck with ICE while dressed in inflatable suits are braver than the troops

Bryan Wong @theotherbryan.bsky.social · 5d

A reminder that no matter how much money ICE has, they don't have enough people to disappear us all. We outnumber them by a lot, they know it, and they're really hoping we don't. The immediate consequences for opposing them are a lot less than the long term consequences of letting them loose

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Apologies for this post, but I've more or less hit rock bottom. I am emotionally exhausted and burnt out. I've not drawn for weeks and by now it does not feel like an easy fix. If you have any desire to support me, it'd mean more than ever as I physically can't work atm.

Rodney Taylor still needs our help!

He’s still locked in an ICE camp.

He’s still going without his new prosthetic legs.

He’s still facing deportation to Liberia.

He’s still having necessary disability accommodations ignored.

Please keep sharing his story. Public pressure works!

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE

Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

Ahhhh dammit, you beat me to it by like a second!

Bryan Wong @theotherbryan.bsky.social · 9d

The only reason I could think they’d cut it was that it was the one song in the movie that didn’t have Muppets in it and maybe Disney thought kids would get bored?

Tangentially related, but a year or so back my family did our annual rewatch of A Muppet Christmas Carol, and the Disney+ version had this whole song edited out. Like, a pretty major one that showed how Scrooge’s obsession with his work drove away the one person he loved when he was younger

One of the first victims of gentrification, unfortunately

Bryan Wong @theotherbryan.bsky.social · 16d

If the US ever wants to become decent country, abolishing ICE and putting everyone who ever worked for them on trial is the compromise position. We simply cannot live in a country where these people have any power at all

Brad Lander @bradlander.bsky.social · 16d

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you…

Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest.

The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

the body remembers what the mind forgets

Illustration of a humanoid creature spotted at night in a subterranean tunnel. The creature looks like a biological version of a child's scribble, its anatomy is completely wrong. It's body is riddled with empty spaces and is missing a face

Thank you!

After enough phases of replication and recursion, the Simulacrums will gradually lose almost everything about the human forms they once took. Some of them keep the anger, though

Little hand drawn animation and banjo theme I made. It's been a year since my brother's passing, it's hard to type stuff so l'll just let the video speak for itself. Thank you for watching. Keep going, enjoy the sandwiches.

American conservatives are the absolute softest people in the world. Every lever of this country is in their power, but they still need people to love them. They got the country they wanted, and they're still miserable, which they will doubtless learn nothing from

Bryan Wong @theotherbryan.bsky.social · 24d

I always feel like I'm taking crazy pills whenever I see one of these centrist consultant firms looking for the reason people hate Democrats. Imagine getting paid that much donor money to just do the Garfield "I wonder who that's for?" meme forever

Bryan Wong @theotherbryan.bsky.social · 24d

It never stops astonishing me how much money the DNC is willing to pay guys in hot dog costumes to find the guy who crashed the hot dog car through their wall
