Happy World Octopus Day! To celebrate, here’s the first piece in my series of Octopolis tarot cards: The Fool!
#octopolis #worldoctopusday #octopus #tarot
A digital illustration within a tarot card frame titled ‘The Fool’. The images is of a mimic octopus bursting through the surface of the ocean into a sunlit day. The octopus is covered in many colored stripes. It holds one arm up through which light refracts. In another arm it holds a bundle of kelp. Beneath the water is a yellow cuttlefish looking very happy.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

“a poor, ignorant, malicious, crapulous mass” —John Adams

(He was referring to one of Thomas Paine’s pamphlets, but I believe it applies better to Trump.)

Haha, be warned, it’s more violent than it looks. (In a silly way.)

Flop-o-saurus, ouch.

Hey, stop trying to make me look.

That sounds like Looney Tunes logic, where the character doesn’t fall until he looks down and sees he’s not standing on anything.

I go by my last name a lot, too, to the point some people don’t realize it’s a last name at first.
