Daily bunny no.3212 lets it slide

A bunny stands in the snow, on an icy street after a storm. A penguin slides down the sidewalk, which is shiny and frozen over like the surface of a ski rink. The bunny is standing in a snowbank, reluctant to go on the ice

🎨I feel like hosting an art share! 🎨

Post some human made art here that you are proud of :D

I'd love to see it.

A shadowy figure with red eyes in a cloak; a tome rests in front of the creature and a little moth made of bright green light rests on the sleeve.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Westley treated the snow like a personal amusement park. Face first. Zoomies. Dramatic hops. Trevor supervised like a tiny, serious park ranger making sure nobody broke the laws of physics. ❄️🐾
Now it’s nap time. Who else crashes hard after snow fun? 😴

Daily bunny no.3209 is quite solemn

A bunny in a monks robe walks solemnly down the outer hall of a monastery. Balancing on the window-ledge, a smaller bunny also in a monks robe is playing around.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

A new painting (by me) I can share for the game we are working on here at Gardens. I still can't say much, but things are moving along smoothly and I'm excited for you all to see it when it's ready. I really appreciate all the enthusiasm everyone has shared with me about the art we've shown so far.

A group of young adventurers approach a mysterious shrine where a sword emerges from a rock shrouded in mist. A key concept art painting by Andy Porter for Gardens Interactive's new game.

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis.

#iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls

Just before Christmas, I got a puppy.
Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie.

I'm still learning how to understand her.

Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo?
Do you need to do a widdle piddle?

Minnie: Arf!

*I just call her "little baby" most of the time.

I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now.
Nobody tells you about that.

I got so lucky with my first puppy.
Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now.

Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport.

I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers.

I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless.
The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective.

I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition.
ICE will pick up anybody.

I know that.

So I tucked my passport away.

And I largely avoid leaving my house.

I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too.
And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized.
We'll do our best to get through this.

Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?

For my followers in the EU, there is an European citizens’ initiative you can sign to demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
If you are for BDS this would be a huge step up.
