Like — they CANNOT understand where the hatred for their brutality and illegal activities comes from.

In their minds, it HAS to be an evil underground foreign terrorist group that is manipulating the public into having opinions they’d never have when being bullied.

Fucking fascist morons.

What’s important about these online anti-ice hunts is that — ICE is run by delusional dumbasses, crazed by their own propaganda.

Most protesters detained at Whipple were interrogated with the assumption that they were part of a dark organization that created public backlash. ICE is paranoid.

ICE has -NOT- left Minnesota.

New ICE offices have popped up just outside of the Twin Cities, and a mega-detention center has been proposed north of Minneapolis.

At best, ICE gave up on terrorizing everyone on the street into compliance, because fuck these racist pedo-protecting police posers.

Yep. Already understood well enough it became a meme:

Yeah, and — get enough fans, they’ll be screaming for more. So …

This is one of those posts that’s fun enough. But if you don’t have context, you don’t know how much fun it actually is. So you go read the whole damned comic. — That makes it exceptional marketing (not clickbait).
Run free, new Crittertongue strip!

This notion is already a meme :)

“Worst of the worst” in Trump’s mind is anyone not white.

Everything from DHS white nationalist propaganda to Trump posting racist memes confirms this.

Stop quoting Trump to refute him; save your energy and just write the headline: “Racist Trump Lied About Immigration Policies, Again”.

Only complaint: vegan sandwich I ordered came looking like a lettuce flesh-light. Staff started joking if it’s still vegan after you fuck it. I argued the sandwich can’t consent to it. And it looked too sad to eat, let alone poke.

My main print sold in the first hour of the first night.

We (OAC) made the scene glow red. Met up with damn near every artist I’ve ever made friends these past 20 years. And banked even more $$$ at merch table.

I wish I could share images of how crazy it got, but we respect our attendees’ privacy.

Successful SafeWord art show.

Performances were flawless/fantastic. New ticket drink services reduced lines/waiting to almost nothing. Art sales broke a record for artists that sold. Weather was unseasonably comfortable. Gf got tied up, artfully.

ALTR Gallery is as good as funded for 2026.

Go hard, kid. Troll begged for it, while he underestimated you. Now you’re a hero. Thank you.

It’s not a kink show. Yiff is only presenting if we can find performers for it.

On the final stage, I butterfingered the squeegee into the ink… and remembered way back in art college, when I decided not to further pursue painting or sculpting, because they all seemed too messy…

Second color, orange, had to not be vivid enough to contrast, but not dark enough to dissolve the blue-green, AND transparent enough to layer in contrast.

Not sure if I pulled it off, but the last color brought it all back - a dark grey-blue. (After black inks shit the bed on 3 prints.)

First color only seems easy. Whatever details I missed, will compound every problem afterwards.

In this case, I went worth an off-white paper with a blue-green ink. But the yellow of the off-white drown the green so it just looked blue. Had to mix more yellow in on the fly.

Another in-the-nick-of-time print special for SafeWord art show.

“Feeling Vine”, three colors on ‘dirty popcorn’ paper.

As always, this just wasn’t a simple print process :/

An apartment in MPLS used to be one giant grain mill. When it was in operation, they lubricated the machines by just forcing grease through the ENTIRE building.

Black blood still leaks out of the walls in the sub-sub basement levels far below, and it looks as creepy as it sounds (A-Mill apts).
