Happy Boxing Day!

Hope you had a great Christmas if you’re celebrating and are enjoying your vacation otherwise. This is a little sneak peek of a new print I made recently of an alfalfa leaf cutter in the act of cutting its telltale half-moon cut in a leaf. 🧪🧵 #Invertefest I made a collection of 🧵

In Hungary, Orban created a new model for authoritarians to gain control of the media without overt censorship.

He used regulatory and legal pressure to force media owners to sell their outlets to pro-regime allies.

In the US, Trump is using the same approach to consolidate media control.
During today's editorial call, Bari Weiss doubled down on pulling the CECOT segment while lashing out at Sharyn Alfonsi:

"The only newsroom that I'm interested in running is one where we are able to have contentious disagreements about the thorniest and editorial matters, and do so with respect."

Stop everything you’re doing and read this. So much more than a sweet old lady in the park service. Absolute powerhouse of a human being who championed civil rights, workers rights, artists, and so much more. זייל 🕯️

I detest JD with every fiber of my being. Cosplays poverty for his book but he is in no way for the people
It’s really strange the vice president of the United States is a white supremacist, who says white supremacist slogans, who publicly praises and follows the work of white supremacists, and it’s simply not mentioned or discussed in political media

Local woman wakes up, announces the oatmeal games, a 4 day breakfast event where a couple people from each Canadian province and territory get together to commiserate about the weather, brainstorm whimsically nefarious ways to change the world and eat oatmeal, makes oatmeal.

TAKE ACTION with SCBNA TODAY to write in opposition to the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) implementation guidelines.

If enacted, they will deteriorate vital ecosystem functions that sustain biogeochemical processes and jeopardize the core benefits that people get from nature.

I feel this is also why so many people think you either need to take drugs or be an artist in pain to create art.

You don't. Drugs are an experience. Pain is vivid experience.

But there are other experiences. You just need to experience them.
Creativity is the decay product of experience.

You see, hear, feel and/or smell something.

It's sits in your brain's temporary storage while it makes room to burn just enough neurons to sit there longer.

Over time or even in the moment, pieces wander. Combine like tumbleweeds.

I still am yet to develop the sublime eloquence of insight my friend possesses. I am moved by the message.
Wages have not kept pace with what it actually costs to be alive and somehow when people try to pretend they have they're the smart ones?

So this is where we arm ourselves in protection of our neighbors. Square up fascist bros, I got nothing but time and skills
It's hard to fathom but we are now *here* on this path to fascism.

This is why other employees have to stand in solidarity with our LGBTQ folks and refuse to support these discriminatory actions. No one should be subjected to this sort of idiocy, even though I am well aware it happens all the time.
Under Trump, federal workplace anti-discrimination agency engaged in...workplace discrimination
A judge rules that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission created a hostile work environment for a transgender employee.

In bed before 7pm because I am a mammal who deserves to hibernate but as a human they don't let me. Very dumb. Should also be getting lots of snuggles but noooo the world has to be stupid.
