The problem with putting my age in these is I gotta upgrade it every year. Oh well, the life of an artist
Self-portrait of the artist sitting on a stool, smiling and holding up a peace sign. They're wearing a beanie, glasses, an open button-up shirt with rolled up sleeves and a tee shirt underneath, long fingerless gloves, blue jeans, and black boots. There is text next to the portrait.

Let! Me! Fight! Note that that last dislike progressively gets smaller for comedic effect.

anyone ever played clue/cluedo as if it were a dnd one-shot? because i think that could be neat.

only thinking this because the way dnd maps are typically drawn look halfway like a clue board.

Aki Kurose middle school is named after a US concentration camp survivor.
Screencap of an article written by Kai Uyehara for the Seattle Times. The article reads "Aki Kurose Middle School in Hillman City and Cleveland STEM High School in Beacon Hill were sheltering in place Tuesday, after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity was reported in the area, school officials said. The middle school was notified by Seattle Public Schools that ICE agents may be trying to draw out families who were warned of ICE activity and are coming to school to pick up their children, said Aki Kurose registrar Katie Jolgren. No ICE activity has been reported in the area yet." Black and white photo of a middle-aged Japanese American woman in glasses

and in all that time between, no autosaves. my last manual save was right before the boss. who has like 40k hp.

thanks, game. real cool.

In a lot of ways, I'm really lucky. I work from home. I write and draw books. I still experience a lot of the same normal creative issues. I'm burned out. My current project frustrates me. But a few things in my routine have changed. Me: Hey, mom. Are the cousins okay? How's grandma? And your sisters? Me: Oh, good. Yeah. Okay, that's good. I'll call you later. Watching Bob's Burgers on repeat while I work. My friends check in from time to time. Text: I got rubber-bulleted by ICE just on my way back from work. Ouch. Text: Hey I'm gonna observe tomorrow at the protest. I'll text every hour, and if you don't hear from me, please call [number] and give them my identifying information. I'd probably be at the Whipple. Okay? Text: They knocked on my door, but I'm okay. I demanded a signed judicial warrant, and they couldn’t provide one, so they left. I’m worried all the time. Very little in the news feels encouraging. Headline: Mayor Kaohly Her says she was told to carry a passport amid ICE operations in Minnesota St. Paul Mayor elect Kaobly Her says her office received reports of federal agents going door-to-door asking where the Asian people are. KARE11 January 16, 2026 And it makes me feel utterly untethered from reality when I have to live like this and just get back to work and draw my stupid little cartoons. Nothing else feels real or important right now. But my neighbors are doing such a great job staying engaged and finding needs to meet. Text: I'm running to Costco and picking up some canned goods to run to the food shelf. Let me know if you want to donate anything. Text: I'll throw in for some canned goods! Text: Me too! Text from me: What's your Venmo? I can contribute.

It also rules because BOY do you get to fight a lot of nazis

What does NOT rule is that Microsoft owns it now, so maybe don't buy it while the boycott is ongoing

finished
Comic page with five panels. An older woman is yelling into a megaphone while three teens and a crowd watch in support. She says "I know, and of course we haven't been given time to plan a response. They wanted to catch us off guard, to keep us quiet. But we won't be quiet! They wanted to avoid a protest, but that's not up to them!" A siren whoops, and the teens look behind them. One says "More cops?" Another says "No doubt." Then an aerial shot of cop cars in a crowd. A text is overlaid, from an emoji face that says "Please be safe, August. Perhaps you should go home."

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis.

#iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls
Just before Christmas, I got a puppy. Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie. I'm still learning how to understand her. Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo? Do you need to do a widdle piddle? Minnie: Arf! *I just call her "little baby" most of the time. I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now. Nobody tells you about that. I got so lucky with my first puppy. Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now. Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport. I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers. I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless. The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective. I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition. ICE will pick up anybody. I know that. So I tucked my passport away. And I largely avoid leaving my house. I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too. And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized. We'll do our best to get through this. Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?

got to the fire temple in my bravely default replay, and i made agnès a monk.

so of course it stands to reason that she'd have the physical strength to save tiz (my white mage so far) and egil from falling to their doom, and then some.
line art drawing of agnes from bravely default as a monk. she's holding up tiz (a white mage here) and egil in each hand like a typical circus strongman. tiz is slightly blushing. egil is just happy to be alive.
