Some folks watched Land Before Time and thought Cera was treated wrong for being shitty about species, and it shows.

Y'all literally out here like "Three horns do NOT play with looong necks" thinking it's the right thing.

Get outta here with that.

Also, thanks @birbles.bsky.social for the idea.

A gentle message for economists and analysts of various sorts.
- If your analysis doesn't account for the experiences of poor folks, it'll be wrong.
- If your analysis doesn't account for the behaviours of poor folks, it'll be wrong.

Poor folks make up the vast majority. Their experience matters.

Playing the Trails of Cold Steel series during these weird and uncertain times is proving to be really comforting.

It might... and if it does, it would help secure him as a triumphant dictator.

Resistance has to be built on more than his economic shitstorm, but also his moral evil.

The outcome of the game when this much economic power is wielded can't easily be predicted.

Here’s one key thing you should know about Trump’s shock to the world economy: it could work | James Meadway
It’s hard to say if the president truly knows what he’s doing. But there is a precedent for the US causing short-term chaos and reaping long-term gain, says economist James Meadway

Welp ... it's here. I'm a romance author ... I guess ...
This isn't the first romance I've written, but it is the first one I've written as a novella. This is planned as the first of a series. I'm kinda stoked for it.

I cannot make a comic about Trump's tariffs being placed on an island full of penguins fast enough.

Sometimes when I'm in the middle of an art block (which I am), recoloring old art helps. Or at least makes me feel good.

We caught the tail end, but it was worth the drive anyway. And the hour we spent driving around downtown in search of parking.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Really looking forward to this tomorrow. It'll be nice to finally feel like part of it rather than a spectator through a screen, under my heated blanket
⚡️FIGHT THE OLIGARCHY RALLY ⚡️
STARTING TOMORROW.

Nevada. Arizona. Colorado.
You, me, and Bernie.
Dem and GOP districts. ❤️💙

See you there 💪🏽🌞
