The bandaids really do help!! And set times for News Stuff (for me, at least).

For reference this is how they left it their last class, and because they were late to this class due to Life Stuff, they only had 2 hours to sculpt all of this. I like the tail the most, the teacher liked the horns and offered them gold glaze once it's fired.. 😈 👅 🔥

Took a break from the Supreme Court's ongoing horrorshow to focus on what really matters: how funny it is for a federal judge to decide, as a matter of law, that Drake lost the Kendrick Lamar beef

Apparently, Drake decided that losing in the court of public opinion was not humiliating enough.

I know there's a lot going on but it's always a good time to protect wolves-- everyone's scapegoat for hundreds of years even though they're just silly little guys who help the environment (trans bro kinship) 🐺

As Congress works to end the government shutdown, it’s crucial to remind your elected officials to pass clean spending bills.

The initial House bill, H.R. 4754, included harmful riders, including Section 128, which would remove protections for gray wolves in 44 states.

Fun fact: it’s Islamic History Month in Canada!

Less fun fact: many provincial governments are trying to call Arabic the language of terrorists again. All while anti-immigrant and racist dogwhistling is increasing all over the country.

It’s been pretty shit, if I were to be honest.

Another reason to mask at protests, aside from COVID safety and protection from doxxing, is that a lot of responsible documenters don't want to publish protesters' faces (esp without their consent) right now. Your face being in a shot may prevent people from sharing a worthwhile image publicly.

Security guys just openly saying "given half a chance we will, in fact, do the funniest thing" is hilarious.

I hope the tech bros see it.

I hope it drives their paranoia through the roof.

Jiji can be surprisingly ambitious when his goal is "chaos." 😹✨

A 4-Panel Comic. 1st Panel: A black cat (Jiji) is carefully climbing over an empty ceramic pot while weaving through other pots, glassware, and vases all laid out on a table.

2nd Panel: Jiji continues past more fragile pots and bottles, hopping past an open bag of potting soil and a trowel.

3rd Panel: Jiji arrives at the end of the table and triumphantly knocks over a potted plant.

4th Panel: The scene zooms out slightly to show a person (Stiffler) standing near the table, holding another potted plant and looking annoyed. Jiji is casually sitting above the smashed plant and pot. Dialogue: "Seriously?!"

1. Last night, 26 Senate Dems helped pass a NDAA containing a military trans sports and surgery ban and dropped demands for protections against US troop deployments in the bill.

It is the latest in the national fight over must-pass bills during the shutdown.

26 Senate Democrats Help Pass Military NDAA Containing Trans Sports, Surgery Ban, No Protection For US Troop Deployments

The bill passed by a wide margin in the Senate and will be the starting point for negotiations with the House, which contain more severe anti-trans riders.

I had to explain that I was only "okay with writing" with my left hand and that my teachers in Louisiana were pretty strict on right hand only script, so I actually got pretty good at forging with my right hand! But I forever still pick things up, try things, and reach out for things with Lefty.
