Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

If we all start going "That isn't Donald Trump, that's clearly a body double" I bet we can make everyone in the White House lose their minds within a week. But we have to _commit_ to it.

I’m usually so bad at taking my own advice, but I’m gonna hang onto this one because I still feel this way. Art by itself won’t save us by itself, but community can. And I think it will.
Not to be unkind, but I am so impatient about the “what’s the point of making my little zines/comics/crafts/art when the world is on fire” sentiments. I get it, but saving the world is not a responsibility shouldered by your art! That’s what being a neighbor, a friend, and hell, a citizen is for!!!

My favorite weapon in "Brothers" is a kind of magic crossbow. Particularly effective against wizards.
The Western Empire took them away after the Eastern Empire collapse, with promises of protection, but now they are leaving the city defenseless, and the Easterners are ready 👀

#JanuaryWorldbuilders. What kind of long-range weapons are used in your world? Do they have bows? Longbows? Slingshots or darts? Or is this an age of guns, spaceships, and rockets?

Defund the police was the morally correct position. And then the white libs rushed in with “they don’t literally mean anything”defund”” and the media collectively shat itself again, so welcome to the current hellscape, I guess!

On God I think the way capitalism biz tactics got its hands on artists in the indie field did a lot of mental damage (myself included). Posting as a Brand is exhausting. I'm so glad to see so many artists not give a shit anymore and just openly be people talking about their lives alongside art
General question for discussion: How do you guys feel about artists that talk a lot in-between posting art, even if not directly art related? Inocuous posts, interests, etc.

I see they found their way to ban trans people from their 2nd Amendment rights after all.
The DOJ is weighing rolling back gun restrictions but implementing a form change requiring applicants purchasing a gun to list their "biological sex at birth" which would serve to out trans people and potentially target them with criminal charges if they list their current sex or gender identity.
