Spent the day painting. I love you.
A painting of a boot crushing ice cubes in a grassy field; behind the boot is a pansy, a sunflower, and a poppy, as well as a sun and a moon. The word "Crush" is at the top in desert chrome lettering, and the word "Ice" is at the bottom in an ice-cube style of letter. The boot is laced with a string that represents the colors of the contemporary pride flag.

“I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.”

aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...
I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Do the thing that you can do.

Whatever it is, wherever you are.

The thing you actually do, however small, is of infinite more value than the most grand perfect thing you imagine but do not do.

This looks like a joke but it's not a joke, I had to switch my setting to show "rude" posts like okay mom????? Weird ass stuff

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
Rude Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.

this is such a fantastic example of the transformative power of design when used collaboratively and intelligently. the visual design of this campaign is deep-rooted in history and culture and is thoughtful and beautiful

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

"Bury him face down." This barn burner of an obit might feel hyperbolic to people who entered the world in the wake of 9/11; it's not. Cheney was one of the architects of today's American Christian conservatism. He was directly responsible for millions of deaths. Salt the earth where he's buried.

Would you believe this is the second time I've made a zine about my favorite musician's mullets?

The world is on fire but sometimes u gotta make a silly zine. You gotta. Fixate on a weird thing that makes you happy for a night. This made me happy.

The Raven Sits, a linocut, handprinted zine / minicomic based on an excerpt of Lord Byron's Manfred.

Yes, I know the raven stone is actually the gallows, but I both dislike hanging people and very much like my ravens a little stupid.

No, I don't know how to make things simple and fast. 😔

Thanks to the efforts of @geraldawo.bsky.social the full run of Animag magazine can now be seen on the Internet Archive. I wrote a bit about the magazine's history and the time and place it was published: bit.ly/animag2
On the Precipice of Professional Anime Magazines: Animag
In 1987 fans from the Bay Area published what was, for its time, the closest thing to a professional anime magazine in English.
