I walked from Uptown through Edgewater up to Devon this afternoon and there was someone with a whistle every few blocks. Cyclists with whistles were patrolling alleys.

One thing I want you to take from videos like this is the absolute cacophony of whistles and screams of "GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD" from people in the streets and in buildings. And more and more people are at that point every day.

I was commissioned to make a zine for the No Kings 2 protest on Saturday Oct 18th!

If you wonder “what can I do?” this zine is for you. It’s packed with things that you can do from wearing a “no ICE” pin to organizing a visibility brigade with your friends.

illustration by @lhazee.bsky.social

gorgeous illustration created by @lhazee.bsky.social in collaboration with seidrem for whispers dissolved in a haloed tide. Story written and art illustrated for @mjkzine.bsky.social.

Illustration depicts:
1) mer Jimin with short, white and amber highlighted hair, amber tipped ears, amber accented emerald eyes, and amber and seafoam markings on seafom green skin. Jimin on the left, is looking off in the distance with longing.
2) mer Jeongguk in the bottom center of the illustration with midnight blue and turquoise highlighted hair, amber tipped ears, and midnight blue markings on blue skin. His eyes are closed.
3) dragon Namjoon with longer gray/purple hair, a smattering of scale on the edge of his face and arms, with darker markings and silver horns. He is looking up to the right.

the title "canopy of new leaves" in all caps is above the trio and the illustration is accented by an elegant golden border, the two corners holding the same golden tears as the dragon.

LHAZ lovely watermark bottom left next to Jimin's hair

The dream always starts with shells. Hundreds and hundreds of pretty shells, white ridges stained brown, sometimes blue, washed by salt water. He wades through them, picking out only the best to hold on to. At least until the ground trembles — as if shaking with fury — and he’s sucked under a tidal wave that brings him to another shore. There, sits a lantern, flame cast light a beacon through the woven cloth in the growing shadows on the sand.
