Barbara Cameron was a Hunkpapa Lakota artist and pillar of the San Francisco community who advocated for lesbian and Two-Spirit people, people with HIV/AIDS, and women impacted by violence.

In 1975, she co-founded Gay American Indians, the first association for gay Native Americans in the U.S.
Brown graphic with a yellow-tinted photo of Barbara Cameron outside leaning on a guardrail. Yellow text reads: "It's important for us as Indian People, as we reclaim and revitalize our languages and traditions, to include the heritage and contributions of Indian lesbians and gay men." The quote is attributed to Barbara Cameron, two-spirit activist for Indigenous and queer rights, for Native American Heritage Month

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 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. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

The road was rough on my copy of Black and Bloody (spine's a little banged up, no biggie) but look how cool! Can't wait to see what @blackindiecomix.bsky.social does next. The @phantanoir.bsky.social sticker is heckin' sick too 🖤
[Image: photo of the anthology BLACK & BLOODY from Black Indie Comic Club. The cover shows a Black person with stylized red eyes. blood runs from their mouth and coats the tip of one fang; their tongue is stuck out and curled up. On the book is a holographic sticker of a Black vampire lady crawling toward the viewer.]

Well, this #AceWeek please be aware that I, an ace artist, am attempting to raise funds for my trans ace friend's medical bills. If you have a hankering for ace-themed wallpapers, I got you covered:
buymeacoffee.com/isthiseva/e/340497
Promotional graphic for a set of 5 asexuality themed wallpapers, shown on 5 phone screens. One shows a pair of hands levitating an ace of spades playing card; the second shows a starry night sky with a dragon formed in the negative space of the clouds; the third shows a cheesecake slice in the ace flag colours, with the text "ACE, no matter how you slice it;" the fourth has hand-drawn text that says "I'm beauty, I'm ace, if you mess with my I'll punch you in the face!!;" and the last one shows a cat sleeping among the clouds.

The thing about the Public Good is that it flows to everyone. Everyone deserves health care, just like everyone deserves good schools and fair governments and safe roads and clean water and open libraries and every other good thing from a functioning society.

Punishing others helps no one.

Oleen is an oarfish-inspired mermaid of mysterious origins. Her dying grandmother left her egg with a very surprised human, and only a select group of humans know about her.

Kip and Ayel are from a short story, Ayel is a siren with magic thrall and Kip is low on self-preservation. (forgot alt text)
[image: traditional ink drawing, colored digitally, of a teenage girl in a bathing suit sitting in a half-submerged cave. an oarfish-like mermaid creature leans on the rock with her long tail trailing in the water, one hand braced on the girl's knee. the cave is full of random stuff, some of it valuable, most of it the kind of trash you might find on a beach. the girl holds up a regular table fork as an offering for the hoard; the mermaid stares at it admiringly.] [Image: a pen and pencil drawing of two mermaids; one is seal-esque, the other somewhat ghoulish with a long eel-like tail. They are holding hands, looking at each other with their noses almost touching.]
