Maceration is a queer horror/thriller that follows Chris as he spirals into an obsession with what he finds in the upstairs bedroom of an abounded house at the edge of town.

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

I joined my friend Greg and other cartoonists to draw something to welcome Liam Ramos home, but ~3800 children remain in ICE custody, including at least three students from Liam's school (and 25 parents). Join us at #Comics4Liam !

The California State University system spent $16.9 million last year giving ChatGPT to all students, faculty, and staff. We are asking the CSU chancellor not to renew the contract with OpenAI when it expires.

Anyone can sign the petition — link below!
The CSU/OpenAI contract is set to expire June 30, 2026.

Sign this petition: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/cancel-chatgpt-edu-invest-in-humans/ for the CSU NOT to renew the contract and to use the savings to protect jobs at CSU campuses facing layoffs.

been very talkative on here the past two days, despite hardly being online. just one of those things, i suppose.

see. i like being able to sit with an idea for about 15 minutes because either my brain will conceptualize how stupid it is and decides it needs to stay locked up in my head, or it has merit and can be further explored on paper.

nearly all of my ocs have piercings–my most pierced group are the DayDreamer kids.

Kit: 10 (tongue, bridge, dimples, septum, nipples, 14mm gauges, R upper lobe)
Charlie: 4 (16mm gauges, snake bites)
Chris: 9, but had 10 (labret, 20mm gauges, R nose, R ripped-out brow, R daith, upper/lower lobe)
Does your OC have piercings?

Turns out that you can simply chose not to sell your warehouse and prevent it from becoming a detention center

Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.

A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website:

just got proved right in the worst way possible by finding out ICE bought a warehouse right near my childhood home to use as a fucking detention facility.

i just knew this was going to happen at some point, but it doesn't cease to make me feel even more ill.
