besides applying in the game and comics spaces, I’ve also started looking for work with non-profits (such as those aggregated on Idealist) in my various creative fields (writing, motion graphics, video / audio editing, graphic design, sound design) in case you see something …

if you were still doubting— the murder plus the ensuing propaganda— it’s not at the door— it is inside the room
My thoughts about the tragic shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis — and why this is what happens under authoritarian regimes that socializes its agents to wage war on the public.

In white Christian nationalism, power becomes sanctified.

Using military force is reframed as a moral duty. Domination is recast as a divine right.

In that framework, bombing Caracas and capturing Venezuela’s president and First Lady is not seen as imperial overreach but as righteous intervention

you often hear the shorthand of “half the country” believes such-and-such in regards to the president’s actions and even some friends still speak this way— I remind them a plurality of voting age citizens simply didn’t participate in 2024— of approx 340 million over 262 million did not vote for him

focusing on the midterms feels like controlled opposition— we’re already five years behind accountability and Congress is in a fugue state

unsolicited agent querying tip: if their online form asks an essay question w/ the number (1000) above the field, go ahead and paste some junk text in there to discover if they mean Character or Word Count instead of spending all day fine-tuning a response twice the allowed length #WritingCommunity

called my representative again to encourage impeachment and mentioned the president’s additional threats this weekend to sovereign nations, this time instead of leaving a message I spoke to an assistant and this person said to me “he wants to rule the world”
a short guide on a process to contact your congresspeople and request impeachment of the president of the united states of america:

in all seriousness, he is so unhealthy for our hearts, the last decade, absolute shit
January 5, 2026 at 3:06 PM
is there a comprehensive list of representatives across the nation calling for impeachment? I’ve seen a thread focusing on Illinois

so long as he enriches the wealthy they will protect him— there is no legal or moral consideration for them to make

funny the isolated moments you remember— wore this pin on my jean jacket in high school, one day a teacher stopped me in the hall to say how glad he was the youth of America still appreciated Bob Dylan— didn’t tell him I had no idea who Bob Dylan was

confident in concluding that Schumer works for the president— I don’t mean metaphorically, I don’t mean as a useful idiot, I mean Schumer works for the president
