I draw, I'm ok at it, and I'm old as fuck. I have been tired of people my entire life. BLM, ACAB. They/She. Apparently I'm a streamer now so I will be posting about that a lot these days https://www.twitch.tv/yourfriendratbucket

torpedo smorgasbord 1-3
PANEL 1: A group of sailors in a WW2 submarine. HENDRICKS: "You think that U-boat's still out there, cap'n?" CAPTAIN: "Mr. Hendricks, never in this salinated void have I met 'luck.' Today would be a silly day to star believing in it." PANEL 2: Mr. Earsley, the sonar operator, listening intently at his console and sweating. EARSLEY: "Luckily Captain Cutlet doesn't need to rely on outdated superstitions like luck now that we have perfected the science of SONAR DETECTION!" PANEL 3: CAPTAIN: "Men like Mr. Earsley there are the future of war. Men seated at consoles for whom victory is but a byproduct of OPTIMIZATIONS..." HENDRICKS: "Still, if it gets the princess to the wedding..." PANEL 4: Hamburguesa, a sailor standing behind Earsley's console, speaks up. HAMBURGUESA: "Any idea what kinda grub they're servin at dis weddin reception? All dis ring-around-da-rosy with da waterkrauts has me STARVIN'!" EARSLEY: "Everything has you 'starvin,' Hamburguesa." HAMBURGUESA: "Dat's true." PANEL 5: HENDRICKS: "Word from British intelligence is the King of Mars has spared no expense on the wedding of his first-born daughter to FDR Jr." HAMBURGUESA: "Just so long as it's not all MARTIAN GLEEP-GLOOP!" CAPTAIN (smiling): "Never change, Mr. Hamburguesa, never change." PANEL 1: A Martian princess is in a bunk reading a Martian magazine next to her robotic maidservant. PRINCESS: "As if your brute Earthling palates could ever appreciate Martian culinary arts! Nursetron, did you know they still eat animal corpses here?" NURSETRON: "Please, Majesty, my diodes can't process this much backsass." EARSLEY: "Permission to gag the cargo while we listen for the blockade of killer U-Boats, Captain?" HAMBURGUESA: "Riskin' our lives ta protect dis pampered dame who don't even wanna get married!" PANEL 2: PRINCESS: "I certainly don't want to marry some MAN I've never met! Nursetron, give me a backing track, Key of Blix." NURSETRON: <a backing track> PANEL 3: The Princess Oxyltottlemy begins to sing the number 'Down to Earth': Yes, I'm a pampered Martian princess. Yes, of royal Barsoom birth/But hear my tragic Martian story, and you might find me down to Earth/On Mars there is no water/All we've got to drink is gin/And it's with that clear elixir that my true life begins:" PANEL 3: PRINCESS: "I used to sneak out of my tower like a creature in a trance/and spend my nights down in the canyons, where the sweaty bodies dance." PANEL 3: PRINCESS (now dressed like she's Liza in Cabaret but with a crown): "See, as princess I was nothing. But as a dancer? I was queen./And I had many loyal subjects (if you know what I mean)." PANEL 1: PRINCESS: "I'm the privileged Martian princess/who wound up down to Earth/'cuz it wasn't 'til those gin joints/that I found my own self-worth. Yeah, I'm the royal Martian princess who wound up down to Earth/And here's where my self knowledge receives its just desserts:" PANEL 2: PRINCESS: "I would stay out until morning/got my hair cut in a bob/And then one of Daddy's viziers recognized me from his job/Daddy's vizier then told Daddy/And then Daddy went berskerk/such that Daddy's showgirl princess was put neatly out of work" PANEL 3: The princess presses her face against a porthole on the submarine. PRINCESS: "I was sealed up in the tower/with a sleepless robot nun/and I likely would have died there/if Earth hadn't needed guns./My father's made a treaty/by which Mars will gain a son/while its daughter's prospects ended/just the moment they'd begun." PANEL 4: The princess, still singing, superimposed over the submarine cruising through the water. PRINCESS: "See this wartime alliance/is all I was ever worth/Shipped as a body to my wedding/in this underwater hearse/You're afraid of German U-Boats/Well, I'm afraid there's nothing worse--" PANEL 5: The princess, small in a shrinking spotlight. PRINCESS: "Than to be a cast-off Martian princess whose dreams came/crashing/down to ea-arth" PANEL 6: Hamburguesa looks choked up by the end of the song. HAMBURGUESA: "What a sad song. Guess it's true: rich folks do got it worse 'den us palookas..." Earsley freaks out, surprised by the SONAR console. EARSLEY: "INCOMING TORPEDOS! THEY MUST'VE DETECTED OUR MUSICAL NUMBER!"

A resident named Walter calmly took the mic and recounted an April 9, 1945 newspaper clipping about the liberation of the Ohrdruf concentration camp...

"And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough."
www.welcometohellworld.com/a-surprise-z...
“The U.S. Army brought the leading citizens of Ohrdruf to tour the facility, which turned out to be part of the Buchenwald network of concentration camps. A U.S Army colonel told the German civilians who viewed the scenes that they were to blame. One of the Germans replied that what happened in the camp was 'done by a few people,’ and ‘you cannot blame us all.’ And the American, who could have been any one of our grandfathers, said 'This was done by those that the German people chose to lead them, and all are responsible.'" "The morning after the tour, the Mayor of Ohrdruf killed himself. And maybe he did not know the full extent of the outrages that were committed in his community, but he knew enough. And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough. I ask you to consider what the Mayor of Ordruf might have thought before he died. Maybe he felt like a victim. He might have thought 'How is this my fault? I have no jurisdiction over this.' Maybe he would have said, 'This site was not subject to local zoning, what could I do?' But I think, when he reflected on the suffering that occurred at this camp, just outside of town, that those words would have sounded hollow even to him. Because in his heart he knew, as we do, that we are all responsible for what happens in our community.”

double drudgery

www.noncanon.com/comics/2025-...
PANEL 1: A rat sits on a stool and a duck reclines in a big green void. RAT: "I'm so tired of the double life. Terrified of the future yet performing that I believe it'll arrive just as it has." PANEL 2: Rat in close up. RAT: "'Despair is how they win' and 'Don't comply in advance' and 'Call your reps every day' except also meal plan for next week, imagine a vacation, schedule your next haircut." PANEL 3: The rat, dejected on the stool, the duck more fully sprawled. RAT: "And none of it does anything but get me more drudgery to stagger through, pretending that the house is not on fire, my friends and family not at hazard." PANEL 4: The duck sits up. DUCK: "The drudgery is just a story you're telling yourself about the past like the fire is a story you're telling yourself about the future." PANEL 5: The rat and the duck again. DUCK: "You almost certainly have no control over any of it and will almost certainly continue doing the right thing more out of inertia than vigilance." RAT: "At least vigilance feels like *doing* something." BOTTOM TEXT: And doing something feels like drudgery.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Pale yellow landscape-oriented image with ink illustrations and text. Thuban Press Guide to Analog Self Publishing: Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Your Own Book Without a Computer by Julia Gfrörer. Illustration of a cluster of dandelion flowers, one of which has gone to seed, some seeds in the air. To the left, the quote "PEOPLE have been THINKING too long that ART is a PRIVILEGE of the MUSEUMS & the RICH. ART IS NOT BUSINESS! It does not belong to banks & fancy investors. ART IS FOOD. You can't EAT it BUT it FEEDS you. ART has to be CHEAP & available to EVERYBODY. It needs to be EVERYWHERE because it is INSIDE of the WORLD." - the WHY CHEAP ART? manifesto, Bread & Puppet Theater Glover, VT 1984. Thuban Press logo of a figure-8 oroborous, www.thorazos.net. Abridged for length 2. What to self-publish? sketchbook pages comics poetry short stories a novel dream journal tiny posters secret knowledge recipes magical forumlae your best tweets bad art good art public domain art manifesto jokes prophecies memoir unsent letters fan art problematic sex fantasies thoughts & prayers PRACTICE SPACE, your name:___________ a 2x2 handdrawn grid 3. This guide will show you how to self-publish a photocopied, saddle-stitched (stapled) 5.5x8.5" book. There are advantages to this format: it doesn't require specialized tools or skills, it's versatile, it's quick to make & cheap to reproduce. It has limitations too: it's not fancy, it's got to be ~40 pages or less and most bookstores won't stock a book without a spine. A book like this is ephemeral in exchange for being accessible. Nobody can stop you from sharing your work in a zine. All you need is [items are illustrated]... white 8.5x11" paper pens & pencils tape or gluestick white out copier long-arm stapler (copy shop will have one you can use) scissors Abridged: 4. Prep the content of your book on 5.5"x8.5" pages (standard 8.5x11" sheet folder in half.) The total pages has to be a multiple of four, including the cover. Ideas to get your page count to a multiple of four: title page, dedication page, bio page, decorative inside covers, big illustration, indicia, epigraph, table of contents. Cut or combine some of them. Count your pages and % the total by four. This will be the number of fresh 8.5x11" sheets you'll need to produce a dummy book for the next step. For a 12-page book you'll need 3 sheets. Fold each one in half. [Illustrations of numbered pages] 5. Illustration of template showing page order for printing. Page 12/1 (reversed side of sheet = 11/2); 10/3 (reversed 9/4); 8/5 (reversed /7/6). Stack pages and number lightly in pencil. Then tape/paste content pages you prepared earlier into your dummy book, trimming them down as necessary. It's going to be kind of puffy, messy and possibly sticky. Don't try to fold it in half again. THE COPY MACHINE. By default it will copy 1 -> 1 (single-side to single-side) pages. Adjust the settings to 1->2 (single to double-sided). *Include your name, contact info, date, location, and price (your cost x 3 minimum)* [Illustration of photocopier with speech bubble: "how do you do"] Abridged 6. 1. Place original on scanner bed. 2. Close lid and scan. 3. Flip original. 4. Scan again and print. 5. Retrieve your double-sided copy. Check to make sure it came out right! 6. Once you have all your copies, touch them up with white-out and give everything a final once-over. [Illustrations of step by step instructions above] 7. Your beautiful double-sided originals are ready to be dropped off at a local copy shop who can print, collate, fold and staple your books for you for a few cents/page. But if you'd rather do it yourself, place originals in copier feed tray, select 2->2 and hit print. Adjust the long stapler guide to 5.5" and staple twice down the center. Fold in half AFTER stapling. [Illustrations of zine at different stages of printing. Final zine titled NOW it's a BOOK" resting upright in a cluster of dandelion flowers.

PANEL 1: A cat in smoking in bed with an ashtray on its chest. CAT: "We tell kids 'Be Yourself' but what we mean is 'Be a You that is a Self I Will Like'" PANEL 2: The cat is now bundled up and walking outside. CAT: "This country loves individuality when it means I won't vote or join a union. Less so when it means I need a special diet, I get tired easy, or I refuse my role in a genocide." PANEL 3: The cat is now eating a burger. CAT: "We have enough Rome in us that a child is PRIVATE PROPERTY of the father here. And here THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT. EVERYTHING is on the table for you to bend and break a child to your vision. The parent as first consumer." PANEL 4: The cat is lighting another cigarette. CAT: "'Be yourself' more like a wish than a commandment, then. 'I want to seem like the kind of person who's accepting of your messy self, but let's still have service with a smile, kiddo.' That's how I learned it, anyway."
