I'm sorry for rage-posting through it, y'all. IF you followed me, hi, welcome, I do frog art mostly. Art of frogs. Sometimes other things, I might try to branch out a little in the upcoming months, yanno, pick up new skills like maybe people. For now though, frogs.
Here's a taste of what I make;

A scene from The Big Lebowski where the Dude, Walter, and Donny are sitting in the bowling alley. In this illustration they are all three frogs. The Dude sits on the left in blue shorts, a cardigan with abstract doodles, and he's holding a white russian. Walter has green shorts and a pockety khaki vest with a red shirt underneath, and yellow-tinted glasses. Donny is peeking between both of them.

An illustration of the final scene of Invasion of the Body Snatchers starring Donald Sutherland. But Donald Sutherland is a frog. He's wearing a trenchcoat, sweatervest and tie, and has his mouth open wide and long in a scream as he points at the viewer.

The classic Hildebrandt poster for Star Wars but in this illustration everyone is frogs and the title is Bog Wars. Instead of rebel fighters, a flock of dragonflies erupts from behind Frog Vader's helmet.

A photo of a set of shelves covered in wonky silly crocheted frog coin purses in various colors, from dark to light green, orange, and candy corn striped. One light green one on the top shelf has a set of vampire teeth.

My little hobo cat
Buy her the finest soft blankets and nice bed
She prefers cardboard and garbage

(I think mostly it’s that Dirty Kevyn uses her stuff and then she won’t ever touch it again because The Girls Are Always Fighting)

Is this anything

Image of the bright yellow Gadsden Flag, but the coiled snake is removed and replaced with the inflatable frog suit from the Portland protests. The text now reads, "WOOO I'M NOT TREADING ON YOU"

I would dearly love to stop catastrophizing about losing loved ones because it really kinda puts a damper on things.

I want to learn tree ID so bad but I don't even know where to start.
Like, I'm sure "get a tree ID book" is an easy first step

And because I've been pelted with rubber bullets, kettled, and gassed for far more obscenely frivolous reasons than social unrest.

✨🐸 figmentpudding 🐸✨ (Pam Poovey Aspirant) @figmentpudding.com · 15h

establishing "Free speech zones" just like we had after 9/11
Because since the first protest they've sent Guard into MULTIPLE cities now
Because the asshole in the oval declared "we're not doing free speech anymore"

Because protest isn't a "safe" activity and never should be taken for granted to be

✨🐸 figmentpudding 🐸✨ (Pam Poovey Aspirant) @figmentpudding.com · 15h

gee, idk
Because things are escalating constantly
Because they flew blackhawk helicopters onto a Chicago apartment building and ransacked the homes of hundreds of people, dragging screaming children naked into the night
Because the regime has been doubling and tripling down on their nonsense -

✨🐸 figmentpudding 🐸✨ (Pam Poovey Aspirant) @figmentpudding.com · 15h

Buncha people carrying signs and yelling. I'm not in an area with many protestors nor is it a flashpoint. I still wouldn't recommend children being present.

How was yours? Maybe next time you can bring your Swifty swag and really fuckin show out. Put a whole box o wine in there, get crazy.

No. No. No.

(Nothing against Steven, I used to do this too until I learned that it was a bad idea.)

Swim goggles hit by a projectile (like a tear gas canister or pepper ball) can direct force to the area around your eyeball and pop it out of your skull.

NOT desirable.

Steven W. Thrasher is finishing The Overseer Class @thrasherxy.bsky.social · 19h

Pro tip to reporters and protesters: always have swim goggles in your pockets or bags. They’re small, $10 and if tear gas is used, slip them on & no matter how much you cough, you’ll still be able to SEE without burning eyes.

I'm glad you know the buzzwords and lmfao at you thinking I'm an edgelord, but whatever.

Protip Piglet, when the cops are marching next to you, they aren't marching WITH you.

Don't forget your mask, make sure your phone isn't set to face ID if you bring it, and I guess bring candy for the kids.

✨🐸 figmentpudding 🐸✨ (Pam Poovey Aspirant) @figmentpudding.com · 15h

In the words of Jolly Good Ginger, nobody's safe until everyone's free, and going to ANY protest with expectations of safety is folly.

Adults can make decisions and consent to the risks. Children cannot. "Family-friendly" connotes "Bring the kids because it's safe".

✨🐸 figmentpudding 🐸✨ (Pam Poovey Aspirant) @figmentpudding.com · 15h

They've brutalized elderly folks even, which is so fucking heinous, but at least those elderly folks knew what they were getting in to and were capable of deciding their risks themselves.

✨🐸 figmentpudding 🐸✨ (Pam Poovey Aspirant) @figmentpudding.com · 15h

True, mostly (just from vending at some events and seeing how parents or even pet owners behave I'm not sure I trust that much)

I just know that for me, I'm more than happy to put myself at risk or see other adults doing so, I'm pretty wary of involving kids.

lmao okay

It's a legitimate question though.

Pigs in Portland bear sprayed a woman directly in the face just for speaking loudly.

It's one thing to be joyful and make it clear how awful the brutality is, it's something else entirely to encourage families and fucking bounce houses.

Do you think they’ll hesitate to tear gas children

✨🐸 figmentpudding 🐸✨ (Pam Poovey Aspirant) @figmentpudding.com · 16h

I agree with the inflatables and goofiness

It’s still unsafe for kids

The point is how absurdly fucked up it’s going to look when cops are beating unicorns and frogs and capybaras with batons
