Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Mondoweiss @mondoweiss.net · 19h

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

I'm so tired yall

mintpalmer™🍉 @mintpalmer.com · 11h

Like, at this point FFS is a complete pipedream but I don't know if I could function in the future without at least electrolysis

And yet my GP is STILL arguing with me about whether I should be given the HRT that I've been on for like a decade

It's just exhausting knowing that several things that would alleviate my dysphoria are out of my financial reach, and the NHS (which is supposed to look after people) does not give a single fuckkkk

Does anyone want to fund my electrolysis lol

In Transformers Beast Wars, Rattrap calls Arcee his great aunt. So I drew Arcee as a mouse. I think mouse mode is cute!

Was there ever an official Rattrap repainted as Arcee, like a BotCon thing or something?

A white mouse with pink nose, feet and tail. She turns into a robot. Her tail becomes a long rifle.

I took a notion to draw a wee comic last night, based on my real-life experience where I felt bad for some sticks.

Comic page. 2 Panels.

Panel 1: Me walking my dog in the woods.

Caption: Not to brag - but I walk my dog, okay/

Caption: We often find ourselves in the local woods.

Panel 2: Me looking at a big stretch of boggy muck.

Caption: There's this one big stretch of boggy muck on the pack we take.

Caption: You're probably thinking that we just shouldn't go this way. Hey you might be right. First time for everything, as they say.

Comic page. 1 Panel

Panel 1: Me and the dog walking over the boggy muck, elevated on sticks laid into the dirt.

Caption: Every few weeks, though - someone lays down a very useful series of branches so we can cross with ease.

Caption: That's nice isn't it? Someone taking the time and expending the effort to build a little bridge.

Caption: I often wonder who it is. Perhaps it's more than just one person. That's a comforting thought.

Panel 2: Me looking at a big stretch of boggy muck.

Caption: There's this one big stretch of boggy muck on the pack we take.

Caption: You're probably thinking that we just shouldn't go this way. Hey you might be right. First time for everything, as they say.

Comic Page - 1 Panel. Me crossing the sticks, we see all the previous sticks crushed down deep into the dark mud.

Caption: It's funny how guilty I feel when a branch breaks - like I've undone their good work, y'know?

Caption: But within a weeo or two, there's a new set of branches ready to be trodden into the mud.

Caption: It's hard not to think about all those other branches, crushed down deper in the dark with every new layer.

Comic Page 2 panels.

Panel 1: Me standing in the woods looking down at the path.

Caption: maybe it's my turn to lay down some branches for the next folk who come this way.

Caption: God knows it wouldn't take long - and I definitely have the time.

Panel 2: Shot of my hands holding the sticks I'd need.

Caption: Nah

You know when you keep pressing the suggested text on a phone keyboard, and it keeps repeating itself? This reads exactly like that lol

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

They're offering a discount for people who own the original, so I'm inclined. I will definitely give the original a go first.

mintpalmer™🍉 @mintpalmer.com · 5d

As someone who owns the original on Steam, but is yet to play, do you think it's worth picking up the new one?

incredible investigation by @972mag.com
