Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot. She has looked out for us for generations, now it’s time to look out for her. Donate if you can: fundly.com/missmajor

Replaying old Call of Duty games from like fifteen years ago (the explosions and the shooting of Nazis relaxes me, for some reason?) and the overall thematic core of these games seems to be, "WOW! ISN'T WAR TOTALLY AWESOME!!!? BWAAAAM! PEW-PEW! AMERICA WON VIETNAM, RIGHT?!"

An image of a small dog in a red sweater nervously sitting on top of a tiny mattress above another image of a badass super-soldier with far too many guns in the shadows who's asking, "Is that a dog with a tiny mattress"

Incredibly informative thread about the ways ICE can know who we are, what we’re thinking, and what we’re doing. And as is being made clear, ICE is not just focused on immigrants—it’s Trump’s private army to attack people who disapprove of his reign of terror.

🚨 It's time to talk about about DHS's surveillance apparatus.

For a few months, I've tracked ICE contracts for a map of companies supporting the mass deportation agenda. Huge sums for detention, weapons, and—especially alarming—an array of tech for spying on immigrants and citizens alike.

Learned how to do paper-mache masks the other month with my mentor in puppetry, and we made this Chihuahuacabra! Part Chihuahua, part chupacabra, all vicious

Heyyall, some sad news. Gabby, friend of mine's mother just passed away and she's got to gather up funding for her funeral. I knew her mom. She was tough, caring and sweet. She'll be greatly missed. If you could pass this link along or contribute in any way, it'd be appreciated🌹

gonna finish posting the new merch to my shop tonight and then complete my page edits! Hopefully I can get some pencils done too. I’ve really been cranking hard on them lately and pushing myself to do some of my best work. I hope it shows. I feel like there’s an end in sight though, so that’s good

After working on my webcomic Witch-Slayer with my co-creator @rosegarou.bsky.social for over a year now, I can confirm that all of the advice @jimzub.bsky.social has listed on his comic script critique is one hundred percent correct and will aid you in writing comics, especially point number one!

Good morning!

Saw a beautiful sunrise today while I was on my way back from my walk. Brewed a cup of extra nice Earl Grey with breakfast. Maybe I can't draw as much as I'd like to right now, but life is still really cool. Good luck today, y'all -- please make it a great one!

Candid selfie of me reacting as I read (for, like, the twentieth time) detailed descriptions of a hypothetical human meat industry in Tender is the Flesh by Augustina Bazterrica that acts as a metaphor for the brutality capitalism requires us to condone to sustain it

More of a sexy way to open October rather than spooky, but I just wanted to share @rosegarou.bsky.social's concept art of Witch-Slayer! I love how many subtle changes wound up happening to get to his current design

(And yes, the thong was vital for our research and development!)

Well, that was amazing!

nervous about calls? let me assure you how easy it is 💘💪😤

1. you will most likely go to voicemail. leave your name, city/zip
2. if a clerk picks up, they are always friendly
3. say "i am against cutting federal funding for gender affirming care". you do not need to justify it
4. done! 💘
