I'm an untrained artist designing merch that draws on niche pop culture mashups for queer pride, nerd humor, and agitprop for a better world being possible. This thread includes a sampling of my work, which you can find on stickers and shirts, pins, prints, and patches at willburrows.art/shop

A vinyl sticker featuring a drawing of Garak making jazz hands in front of a rainbow, overlaid with the text, "Friend of Garak" in DS9 title fonts.

A poster featuring a drawing of Miles O'Brien teaching Rom and Leeta about unions over Guinness and snail juice in Quark's Bar. Above, it says "The boss needs you, you don't need them!" and below it says "Labor is entitled to all it creates."

A gold Starfleet delta insignia with the three arrows symbol in black enamel in the center, and a high gloss surface.

An embroidered patch featuring Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors growing in a can that says "compost the rich."

Noem says they arrested "the girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa." You probably don't know her, though; she goes to a different school.

lest anyone think the girlfriend line was a hilarious joke I concocted...

With all due respect, anyone who's not a philistine knows Iggy Pop first and foremost as Belvedere Rickettes from the 1990 John Waters film Cry-Baby.

You gotta ask which one is more disturbing to the established order. That's always the worse one, even when it's obviously not.

Yeah I think homophobia is just a different manifestation of misogyny

Have they produced it or is it classified? Because it can't be both.

Will BOO-rows 🖖🍞🥀 @reforest-kelley.bsky.social · 1d

It and the S1 theme are both very catchy and potential earworms, but to me "Do You Wanna Taste It" is annoying, whereas "Oh Lord" is genuinely a banger. My partner finds them both annoying though and evidently there are people who actually like the S1 intro.

Will BOO-rows 🖖🍞🥀 @reforest-kelley.bsky.social · 1d

The big difference is that "Oh Lord" was written specifically for the singer's son, whereas "Lean on Me" is a paean to mutual aid.

Will BOO-rows 🖖🍞🥀 @reforest-kelley.bsky.social · 1d

Not even saying it doesn't work! Like they're very different artists but the songs in question - Foxy Shazam's "Oh Lord" (Peacemaker S2 theme) and Withers' "Lean on Me" - have thematic similarities in offering help to someone in need.

I'm so grateful for how y'all have responded to this shirt design! I'm already out of many sizes; I have a small, preliminary re-stock on the way, and I'm right now putting together another order with the print shop. If you'd like to reserve one they'll ship in about 3-4 weeks. willburrows.art/shop

Will BOO-rows 🖖🍞🥀 @reforest-kelley.bsky.social · 16d

Trekkies Against Fascism shirts are stocked! So far I've sent out 50 of these to customers in four countries - a few have already been delivered. I still have at least one of almost every available size ready to ship right away. Other sizes may be purchased on backorder.

We'll see if he gets Dixie Chicksed or not, but like...
When your base is the white working class and petit bourgeoisie, is it good or bad for country music stars to turn against you?

Zach Bryan calls out ICE as he teases new song 'Bad News'

Country star Zach Bryan, a U.S. Navy veteran, dropped a snippet that seemingly addresses American politics: "The fading of the red, white, and blue."
