I think it's funnier that someone got this signed by the original Turtles.

the ad from above, but signed by Renee Jacobs (April O'Neil, with a "guess not...", Barry Gordon (Donatello, with a "YEAH RIGHT!"), Townsend Coleman (Michelangelo, with a "Still here!"), Rob Paulsen (Raphael) and Cam Clarke (Leonardo, with a "Crystal Ball, anyone?")

This brown skinned landscaper was minding his business on a job in Edgewater when 3 masked ICE thugs took him away. Then on leaving the 3 reportedly got out of their car, turned their guns on a woman and tried to get into her car for apparently driving too close searching for parking near her home

Alright I need a short story break before I dive back into another gargantuan anthology, so let's read one of the oldest transfemme books I'm aware of!

Autobiography of an Androgyne is one of the earliest "trans memoirs," published a solid 15 years before the commonly cited 'first' trans memoir.

Since its FOIA Friday, I’d be interested in the rental car receipts for these vehicles they’re plowing through traffic all over the country. Wonder if DHS is springing for the damage waivers or paying out huge bills on insurance claims from the rental companies.

A series of images I found on my computer labeled "Wrestling solutions."

A roof shaped ring, utilizing an incline. Probably deadly.

A full sized ring inside of a double sized ring. Why not? What do you have to lose?

A ring with vertical ring ropes, attached to an unsecured light fixture. An OSHA violation for sure.

A ring with 9 turnbuckles, instead of the customary 3. This one is fine, no one would have a problem with this one except a whiner.

it's kind of wild that a guy died a little while ago and the government swore we would reap the whirlwind and that his widow would lead a howling army of valkyries across the galaxy and then the most you heard about it since was the secretary of domestic war saying they arrested the wife of antifa
