On the left is a witch wearing a blue stereotypical outfit. She is hold onto an upright coffin that has an old male corpse in it. The corpse is wearing a black tuxedo jacket and pants with a white dress shirt and bow tie. He has a what appears to be either a tiny flower or a button on his right lapel. His hand is being held by a woman who looks hypnotized. She is wearing a white bridal dress with a swirling pattern plus a veil while holding a bunch of flowers. A three pronged candle stand behind her right side with three burning candles of various sizes. In front of these three figures and on the right side of the cover is a minister in a monk style of robes. The minister is saying "...I now pronounce you, man and--widow!" At the top of the comic is the trade dress and logo. Above the logo are the word "It's Midnight..." Lastly, the bar code and the creator signatures are on the bottom left side of the cover. Picture is of the cover to The Witching Hour #67 from dc comics back in 1976 or 1977.

Block fascists. There's no reasoning or arguing with them, you might as well debate with spoiled leftovers. Don't let them bait you. Block fast, block often, block fascists. Let their accounts mummify.

Pretty much every single one of these new government accounts is posting rage bait. It's possible (like 100% guaranteed) they are trying to provoke people here on purpose, so don't fall for it. Blockity block block block.

Can’t believe this needs saying (but days-long Twitter discourse suggests it does):

Yesterday at #NoKings, I met a woman who works with the local anti-ICE “Home Depot Patrol,” and I’m going to make some time to stand a few watches over at my local Home Depot.

Springboards.

the massive scale of the No Kings protests, from the organizers’ perspectives, was ALWAYS about making it easy for people to people to go and meet organizers and organizations and mutual aid:

“Let this be a springboard, not the end of your journey.”

if you went, how are you doing so?

Screenshot of text that reads: I'm a single disabled mom of four. I have uterine fibroids that causes excessive bleeding and fatigue, POTs and PTSD from Covid turning into long covid and causing my health problems. I was working two jobs prior to not working until it caught up to me and l ended up in the ER with a heart rate that wouldn't slow down until I had to take medication. I have been trying to get on disability since. A year later I started to caretake for my disabled child by myself as well. I had help previously but it wasn't working out and l've had to do a lot of it on my own, now I'm stuck in a situation where working isn't possible for my health and while I'm already caretaking for my disabled child that needs constant care. I did not ever envision this happening to me and have always worked hard to take care of my family but now I'm in what feels like an impossible situation trying my best to take care of my kids and myself so I can stay around for them as long as possible. Im not enjoying coming online asking for help but I have no where else to turn. I'm doing everything I can to get help but it's not Screenshot of text that reads: everything I can to get help but it's not enough to survive off of. I'm sadly the only responsible parent and have limited family that all live too far to help. I live in California which is a bit expensive but with the state of America right now I'm trying to stay where my trans child and disabled child are the safest. Any help is appreciated and keeps my kids and I surviving while waiting on disability or other options I'm pursuing to happen. I don't know what the future holds but as a mother I'm doing everything I can to keep my family together, healthy and happy. Even if it means coming online and begging for that help. Thank you if you read. Please boost if you're able. The chances someone who can help sees my post greatly increases with more eyes. Lots of love

I love that we've taken back the Frog from the far-right! They stole Matt Furie's Pepe the Frog. Bet they won't touch it anymore.

I get that the easiest marketing path will often win but I despise how “punk” as a suffix became shorthand for “genre” after cyberpunk, which used it to mean the punk ethos correctly, took off. Like every possible scandal is now “gate” it’s lazy and feels bad.
