I simply cannot understand the mentality of keeping cops and getting rid of horses. One of these makes the world better by existing and it isn't the cops

Heard.

It’s a trip! I’d be curious to see your take on it

Uh oh I just realized that I referred to “Little Beirut” as being coined by Reagan instead of Bush I.

Forgive me, I was a preschooler 😬

Just heard Drew Struzan passed away 😞 His incredible work has given me and countless others so much awe, joy and inspiration!

I had posters of his work as a teen, I began using color pencils because I thought he used them too. Always inspired by him. Just utterly heart broken.

RIP Drew Struzan.

HUGE difference. My surgery wasn’t 100% successful due to some deeper turbinate issues but I no longer have to mouth-breathe while driving so I get enough oxygen to stay alert

Oh I meant the movie The Void! It’s in that very specific subgenre

Maybe it’s more of a loopy buzz, but thank heavens I prepped yesterday.

I got roughly three hours of broken sleep last night, so for all practical purposes I am going into this video interview drunk.

I used to think straws, and I think some vampire designs think of it that way, but the solid puncture/maul makes the most sense to me now. Especially since it doesn’t require precise placement into a vessel with regards to depth

Here’s the flier I made to take to the Austin #NoKings rally. Feel free to adjust for your area and use it too

We Protested, Now What?

No one has to do it all.
Find what you're good at, and join your community.

1. Mutual Aid - Collect and distribute food, clothing, hygiene items, blankets, or school supplies. Learn what your vulnerable neighbors need, and help them get it.
2. Labor Organizing - We, the working class, hold the power to SHUT DOWN the economy. Talk to your coworkers.
Unionize. Make demands. Walk out.
3. Community Defense - Monitor and document ICE and CBP activity. Learn de-arrest tactics and intervene. Embrace your 2a right to protect yourself and communities under attack.
4. Education - Read liberation theory and share it with others.
Join a reading group, and study revolutionaries of the past (ex: Lenin, Che, Rosa Luxemburg, Ho Chi Minh, Malcolm X).
5. Boycott - Don't spend your money with companies that donate to the Texas GOP or support the IDF.
