Guys! DO NOT RESUBSCRIBE JUST BECAUSE THEY PUT KIMMEL BACK ON! A lot of us have been boycotting Disney for over a year due to their complicity in genocide. What matters to you more- one white guy being “cancelled” or an entire people being systematically wiped out? Priorities guys!

SCOOP / UPDATE — Disney saw more than 1.7 million total paid streaming cancelations during the period 9/17-9/23, a Disney source confirms to me. The total includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN.

NEW — I wrote about my confirmed scoop from last night that Disney hastened Kimmel's return because of a planned Disney+ streaming price increase announcement coming on Tuesday:

Tea animals 🐇 little collectible ceramic guys my grandparents from red rose tea boxes. #sketchbook

A colored pencil drawing of little ceramic animal figurines, each drawn in one color. Animals depicted are a lion, a rooste, a swordfish, a sheepish bird of prey, and two puppies snuggling. Various tea items like teabags and cups are scattered around, as well as the text “tea animal” and “free from their attic wrapping”.

These animals are drawn in the same style- they’re a poodle in a tutu, a little rhino, an elephant holding up their trunk, and a kangaroo with a Joey’s head sticking out of their pouch.

I think there's this idea that since the national guard didn't show up, everything's OK. It's really not! ICE is spreading out over suburbs with large Latino populations and terrorizing them. It's really, really bad in lots of towns people forget about because they don't have money. It's bad.

Hi

ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday

Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere

If you have any national platform at all

Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

Pigeon & chicken stamps 🪶 #lino #linocut #chickens #pigeons

A black ink impression of a pigeon stamp I carved today! The little buddy is all loafed up, in a square frame with checkerboard corners- a worm, two mushrooms, a mossy stick, and two flowers are inside the frame’s sides.

The stamp the previous image was made with, held in my inky hand!

Another stamp next to two impressions in a sketchbook- this one is a square composed of four hens staring down a big blueberry in the center! It’s inspired by quilt patterns.

PSA: RFK Jr is a eugenics-supporting piece of shit. He ALSO has spasmodic dysphonia, which is why his voice sounds the way it does.

There are endless ways to express what a piece of shit he is WITHOUT mocking his disability.

RFK Jr won’t see what you say about him, but other disabled people will

NEW: 16 months ago, a young Palestinian locksmith went to help unlock a car.

He's been in detention ever since.

The FBI interrogated him. After refusing to become an informant, he was put in high-security as "retribution."

He's not convicted of a crime—but ICE will neither free nor deport him.

A 22-Year-Old Palestinian Has Been Locked Up in 'High-Security' ICE Detention for 16 Months

Taher Mohammed Taher Hasan has faced harassment from detainees and guards and is held in a cockroach-infested cell, his legal team says.

DS9 scene. Rom is a Ferengi hero who has a large bald head and giant ears and lobes that sort of connect to make a unibrow and a ribbed pine cone looking nose. He's wearing a jacket that looks like those lick and stick backsplash tiles you can get at Lowe's. He's pictured here standing in a corridor, talking to someone and holding/reading a PADD. Closed caption reads, "Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains."
