Nothing is going to stop the people of Minnesota and America from defeating this criminal President, his administration, and all the traitors who enabled it. Not ICE terrorism. Not the insurrection act. Not martial law. Not a second civil war. Nothing. No matter what happens, they are going to lose.

Accidentally fell asleep while on call with my bf (his voice makes me sleepy) and now I feel miserable that I wasted what little time I had with him

Hey #PortfolioDay, I'm Rik!
I draw, ink and colour comics! I've worked on Sonic the Hedgehog, TMNT, Transformers, MLP, Miraculous Ladybug, Felix the Cat, Godzilla and more in some capacity or other!

Book in a jam? Need someone to help get it to the finish line? Hit me up!

📧Rik@ RikDraws.com 🎨

The cover to Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds one-shot, cover B by this guy right here. Featuring all your favourite sonic characters like Jet the Hawk on their racing vehicles from the hit new videogame 'sonic car design and I guess also racing but it's mostly a big fight would you STOP SAWING MY CAR IN HALF JEEEZ' at least I think that's what it's called.

The cover to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures #30 B cover by this lil mutant aka me. Featuring the lads surfing through the sewer except they're skating but I still called it sewer surfing because of the game and I'm not very smart. I covered the bottom of the skateboards in nods and throwback references to the TMNT's long and storied career because I love those goofs. 9.95!

The cover to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures #18 B cover by a me you might know. Can you believe they let me do this twice? Well this was the first one but you know what I mean. I wonder if I cross my fingers real hard and make a wish they'll let me do another one. This one being my first meant I had to involve my favourites so that's why Casey Jones is flexing in the top right because he's the best. Also weirdly despite it being the first time I ever drew him I REALLY like how Rocksteady looks on this cover. He's tricky and I think he looks on model! Good job me.

Okay so I haven't done four solo covers yet so have a random pinup style illustration of Sonic The Hedgehog because otherwise I'd have to post a one off sample of me inking or colouring someone else and that wouldn't be fair making me pick a single sample. I've inked/coloured a bunch of super cool people and honestly I love working with them all. I just try my best not to ruin their work but I've got a long way to. As you can see from my awful colouring job on this cover, I really need to focus on that this year. But the special stage is a nice nostalgic hit for me and I've not done any full solo art I can share just yet in like a year so I can't use that really but just you wait JUST YOU WAIT. I got a big thing dropping around June maybe it'll be fun. It involves not one, but TWO penguins. That's all I'll say about that. Also Chaos Emeralds ae rad and the Classic Sonic Special Stages are as follows: 2's half pipe > 1's rotating nightmare >>> > 3d blasts boring bridges >>>>>>>>>>>>>3's blue spheres.

U.S. Mail Not For Sale

@usmailnotforsale.bsky.social

This is a good breakdown of what's happened with postmarks, which were never guaranteed the same day. But service slowdowns in 2021 and 2025 mean a mail piece is less likely to get a postmark the same day for many people.
So, return your ballot early and fight to expand #USPS services.

You may have seen lots of confusion online about a new USPS rule on postmarks and how it affects ballots. Here's what the rule actually means for voters and the upcoming elections.

Extremely disappointed at how fast people are embracing AI memes. It feels like the amount of AI I've been seeing online (and in private circles) has tripled in the last couple *days*

Everyone trying to destroy the USPS - a wonderful service that's worked for 200+ years - is going to Hell. If they don't then I'll drag them down with me when I go.

The USPS is doing something even worse. Look at the postmarks of your recent Christmas cards.
Here are just five of the cards we received in the last 3 or 4 weeks from family and friends.

Look closely.
If you think changing the postmark by a day or so is a problem, how about 12 months?

A photograph of the postmarks on five recently received Christmas cards from three different cities. The postmark ink and style is similar in all and the “Happy Holidays” stamp is identical on four of the envelopes. But two of the postmarks from two different cities show the year as 2024.

Why isn't there more shouting about this? This is the USPS undermining mail-in ballots. They find every opportunity to subvert voting and democracy.

Ballots, tax returns and other important mail may not get postmarked the day you turn it in, Postal Service warns | CNN Politics

If you rely on postmarks when casting your ballot, filing your taxes or paying bills, a new US Postal Service rule makes it clear that you should plan ahead.

🚨SCOOP: Amazon is preparing to sever ties with USPS and expand its shipping network as a true coast-to-coast rival.

It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.

USPS posted a *$9 billion* loss in 2025.
