I’m Dane. I’m an artist and with my wife @ashliehammond.bsky.social run Monkey Minion and we go around the country selling art and arty accessories at comicons.
I skeet/reskeet a lot of art related stuff & progressive politics. I block all AI/NFT/MAGA

TIL that blood platelets have serotonin receptors, which is why anemia can mimic depression symptoms and that is absolutely fucking fascinating.

Dems going on tv and pumping themselves while fucking over the American people is just so disgusting. “We have waged a battle” fucking please. The people who are going to have their healthcare deleted are waging a battle. *You* fucking cowards turned tail and ran away from the “battle”
CNN: Was the shutdown worth it?
HAKEEM JEFFRIES: We have waged a battle on behalf of the American people.
CNN: But you didn't get what you want.
JEFFRIES: At the end of the day, the fight lives on.

This. If FUNKO can’t absorb this fuckery & hold on, guess how we’re doing.
Hey, I'm all here for the death of Funko but I need people to look at how the tariffs have hurt giant brands like this and then carefully think about how us indies are doing because trust me, we're feeling it FAR worse.

RFK Jr & the MAHA institute are selling anti-vaccine onesies.
When I say they PROFIT by causing preventable illness & death, this only scrapes the surface of their deadly profiteering.
RFK Jr is not a vaccine skeptic.
He an anti-vaxxer.
He is a danger to society.

[Thread] All the times Arnold Schwarzenegger almost reprised his role as Major Alan “Dutch” Schaefer (Predator, 1987) in another Predator movie, but oops, he didn't.
You could make a movie just about that.

So there’s tatttooing happening at this show, (which is its own kind of ick) but I saw a dude with a brand new Deathly Hallows tattoo (in 2025!), no 2nd skin, no bandage, just open to the air and I’m just like “I hope that gets infected, itches like a motherfucker & heals weird.”

We’re getting extreme winter weather in the next 24hrs and I was going to go check on NOAA since they’re usually most accurate but I forgot that it’s federal. Sucks how they can just turn off the weather reporting because republicans want to starve poor people 🤡

I think a number of press outlets badly want there to be a groundswell of anti-trans feeling, because the ownership/senior editorial of those papers have absolutely cooked their own brains on transphobia. It seems to be largely an elite psychosis!
the harris campaign said the “they/them” ad didn’t sway the election.
one of the trump campaign’s top strategists this week said trans rights isn’t in the top five issues for swing voters.
when will the press stop talking about us like we’re a liability and start looking itself in the mirror
