Trump, champion of vaccine doubts, quietly grabs his COVID booster while his CDC dials back broad endorsements. The irony of inoculated skeptics shines bright in this health charade.

It’s ironic to hear the rights rhetoric about what is and isn’t an insurrection.

Mike Pence could have used the National Guard that day—perhaps before they erected gallows.

Top half: A peaceful protest at night with people in colorful costumes, standing calmly with others. Text reads “INSURRECTION.”

Bottom half: A chaotic crowd at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021, with rioters waving Trump flags, smoke in the air, and people pushing toward the building. Text reads “NOT AN INSURRECTION.”

Yeessss. Beat them on "originalism"

Hopefully they don't treat the law like they do the Bible and decide what best deserves that interpretation and what doesn't.

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago.

She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

OPINION AND ORDER
Since this country was founded, Americans have disagreed about the appropriate division
of power between the federal government and the fifty states that make up our Union. This
tension is a natural result of the system of federalism adopted by our Founders. And yet, not even
the Founding Father most ardently in favor of a strong federal government believed that one
state's militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution, calling such
a suggestion "inflammatory," and stating "it is impossible to believe that [a President] would employ such preposterous means to accomplish their designs." But Plaintiffs contend that such
an event has come to pass, and argue that National Guard troops from both Illinois and Texas
have been deployed to Illinois because the President of the United States wants to punish state elected officials whose policies are different from his own.

#Caulktober 9 and 10: Giving/receiving blowies

Human Samiel and cat-hunk Rapuska from "Cat and the Brat" have absolutely both done this, for each other. On page.

Chapter 11
Rapuska’s tongue spread Samiel’s wetness along his folds, making the human's whole mound glisten in the firelight. He raised up to swirl his tongue over the short cock some more, which opened up room for him to slide the back of one sheathed claw down Samiel’s slit and slip it inside. He thrust it deeper inside and Samiel’s velvet walls parted around him.
The presence made Samiel press his heels into Rapuska's back, and the Felien returned it back onto Samiel's hardness with a moan. Samiel desperately rocked his hips down onto the finger and up against Rapuska's mouth trying to get more. “Fuck… Rapuska…,” he moaned.

“Mhn,” Samiel hummed onto his tip. His eyes fluttered low again as he dove back onto Rapuska.
“C-can touch my sack, too. Just squeeze it a little and tug….”
Which Samiel promptly did, and Rapuska throbbed in his mouth. Samiel quirked a brow. That was something his toy could never do! It could also never talk to him, or taste like Rapuska did. The veins on the Tyrian’s cock were a different texture than the grooves in the dragon statuette, and he was so warm. Just so much better. Samiel kept bobbing over Rapuska’s length, his lover’s moans and petting everything he wanted.

#Caulktober Day 8: magical powers

Both Joren and Vahn have magical powers, Joren over water, and Vahn is well-attuned to the leylines which heightens the strength of his potionmaking.

Lineart by @sheilkuroi.bsky.social

An orca-patterned man with teal accents, a long, thick finned tail, and four arms with teal fins/webbing, relaxes in bed with a half-dragon human tucked against him. The dragon has folded red wings and a serpentine red tail that ends in a spiky vane. He has claws, and two curved horns with scaled bases protruding from his forehead. His long brown hair is tied back in a low ponytail. Both are naked.

Every time an educator tells me they used Coyote & Crow Games in their class and had a great response or when a student emails me and says they're doing a paper on C&C and can they ask me some questions, or when a Native shares art of their OC, I know I'm going to make it through the day.

Bite Sized is a short comic written and illustrated by me! In which a bounty hunter walks into a vampire bar, and shenanigans ensue.

I'm proud of it because it was my first time doing comics ever. I learned a lot!

Promotional graphic featuring the Bite Sized, a comic by IsThisEva. The price of $5 is written inside a blood-drop shape. “Buy now at buymeacoffee.com/isthiseva”. There are arrows arranged around the cover with a list of tropes, as follows: hurt/comfort, enemies to allies to lovers, NBi/m romance & established NBi/f pairing, banter, vampire vs. hunter, arguing and swordpoint, “what if I make it your problem?”

#LGBTQWriteAThon Day 9: Pride flags

Instagram story mode is about the only way I know to do this on my phone 😆 And their library is kinsa limited. So here goes!

Art by @sheilkuroi.bsky.social

A half-naked olive-skinned man lays across the lap of a white woman in a slip on a window seat before a window looking on a garden. They have hands buried in each other's long brown and auburn hair, respectively, as they gaze into wach other's eyes as they kiss.
Kneeling plaintively by the man's legs is another half naked man, blonde and white, with one hand on the first man's thigh, and the other with fingers entwined with the first man's other hand, resting on the foreground tanned knee. Bybthe blonde man are three green and blue Vincian pride flags shaped in hearts around a center point. To the right of the olive-skinned man's bare shoulder is a bisexual flag, and the new polyamory flag is at the top right, yellow heart on a white triangle to the left of pink, purple, and blue stripes.
