I’ve been rewatching the Coen Bros filmography this month and while drawing a Barton Fink illustration, it struck me how much their films feel like Far Side cartoons: funny, strange, clever, yet frequently inscrutable. Anyway here’s a thread!

An illustration of a scene from Fargo drawn in the style of the comic strip The Far Side: Marge encountering the wood chipper situation and exclaiming, “Oh Jeez.”

Pippa Phillips @pippaesque.bsky.social on LANDMARK STATUS WOMAN (review in Pan Haiku Review 5):

"In Japanese micropoetry, the technique of linking to a verse while also shifting away from it is an important technique– Mohr elevates it to an ideology in landmark status woman."

From the 50501 community on Reddit: Trans Woman Violently Taken by ICE (how can I do more to help)

Please come up with a safety plan. Travel with friends, have someone check in on you and ready to search for you if you don't answer. Reach out for legal advice BEFORE you need it, not when it's too late.

Good luck out there.

Look out for each other.

Warning to my trans friends: I just saw a video of ICE kidnapping a trans woman. Together with the news that the government is asking hospitals for names and addresses of those taking hormone blockers, I think they're going to start targeting trans people.

Federal investigators demand details on trans patients from at least one hospital

A subpoena sent to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia demanded information about individual patients, including names, birth dates and Social Security numbers.
