UN CASO ASSAI BIZZARRO is now available for pre-order! Clocking in at over 300pgs and a whopping 24% SMUT BY VOLUME, illustrated by @lysandre.me with hand lettering/layout by @subvertebra.bsky.social, if you like old man yaoi, pre-order now!

cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/for...

Cover of UN CASO ASSAI BIZZARRO, as drawn by @insecateur and laid out/lettered by @subvertebra. A digital full-color illustration of two men in 1820s fashion standing in front of a dark green patterned background. The man on the left is wearing a grey frock coat, the man on the right is wearing a deep purple frock coat and has lifted his hand to grasp the other man's elbow. The man in the purple coat is fat, with the edge of his double chin visible at the top of the cover above the white cloth of his shirt collar. He is wearing a gold signet ring on his little finger. The title of the book is hand lettered in a sparkly golden font that frames the upraised hand.

Cover of UN CASO ASSAI BIZZARRO, as drawn by @insecateur and laid out by @subvertebra. On top of the same dark green wallpaper background is a full-color digital illustration of a series of repeating lemon and blue anthered potato flowers on vines, with a large black text box in the middle of the image framed with gold filigree. On the inside of the text box is the summary: "Don Magnifico, Baron of Montefiascone, has drunk his stepdaughter’s inheritance and gambled away her dowry, treated her as his servant for twenty years, and now whether he likes it or not, Cenerentola—Angelina—is the Princess of Salerno. In a single strange day, a valet became a prince while a prince became a groom, a servant became a princess, a baron became a cellarman, and somehow true love won in the end.

Goodness has triumphed, pride has fallen, and in the aftermath of all these strange reversals of fortune, everyone must put their lives back together. The princess might have forgiven her family their neglect, but the prince hasn’t: debts remain unpaid, apologies unmade, and questions unanswered. To win back any degree of respect, Don Magnifico will have to humble himself and accept the consequences of his actions.

And despite that, Dandini the valet wants to marry the baron. Don Magnifico wants to marry the valet. Un caso assai bizzarro—a most bizarre case."

On top of the same dark green wallpaper background from the front and back cover is text reading "Un Caso Assai Bizzarro Pre-Orders" and then the digital illustrations of the lemon and potato flowers from the back cover. Further text says: "EPub/PDF: 5€, Print and EPub/PDF: 15€". Finally, "Pre-Orders begin: 11 Jan. Full Release: 15 March."

The sheriff’s ASSOCIATION issued a statement because one of their members had a pig meme drawn on their cop. Imagine if they found out what actual public employees and fast food workers/service workers had to put up with, and without benefits or full time hours!!!

Message from ALADS President Richard Pippin

Dear Members,
We are aware and disappointed by the recent incident ir which one of our deputies was met with a derogatory image on a paper cup while visiting a local Starbucks in Norwalk.
This behavior, we are sure, falls short of the standard of respect and customer service that should be shown to ANY Starbucks customer and member of our diverse LA County community.
We hope this was an isolated incident and not reflective of the community values upon which Starbucks was founded, and that it is addressed appropriately and with a sincere apology to the community.
Deputies continue to express genuine appreciation for the strong support they receive from the communities thev serve, including many local businesses - among them, other Starbucks locations- that consistently demonstrate professionalism and respect.
Sincerely,
Richard Pippin. ALADS President

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Great read

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"
