Sure thing, will do!
4 frame comic. The author gets told by a random guy : hey degenerate, go to therapy! She replies : sure thing, will do! A bearded man behind a desk tells her : yeah no, not only should you keep being yourself, but I think you should increase the thing. She says : sure thing, will do!

​🌎 THE WORLD'S WEEP
​In this painting, I have tried to tell a story about climate change and water scarcity.
​A man tilts his face upwards while a hand lets fall upon him an intensely blue drip, as if the planet's water were being depleted onto his skin.

November 13th-19th is Trans Awareness Week.
4 frame comic. characters are saying : November 13th marks the beginning of Trans Awareness Week. at least one in ten humans are trans, non-binary or gender non-conforming. Most of them on the planet don't have the privilege of safely transitioning or expressing themselves authentically. Making spaces explicitly inclusive of gender diversity can be the difference between life and death.

What a coincidence!
4 frame comics, where we see scenes from the 1936 olympic games in Berlin : the Berlin stadium, 5 women holding hula hoops in the shape of the olympics logo, athletes doing an obstacle course. the last frame is the 2028 Los Angeles olympic logo. the text reads : the olympics have seen various forms of gender policing since the games of 1936 in nazi germany. it was introduced as a way to enforce the gender binary by disqualifying people with inter- sex characteristics or atypical gender expression. naked parades in front of a jury, gynecological inspections, chromosomal testing, certifica- tions that only richer countries could issue... these were all attempts at gender policing by the olympic committee between 1936 and 1996. one after the other, these practices were outlawed. they were all found to be flawed, misleading, humiliating, discrimi- natory, racist, misogynistic. since 2003, strict guidelines have allowed intersex and trans women to participate. despite 20 years of inclusion, there has only been one trans woman who competed, not winning any medal. yet, we just learned that the I.o.C. was looking into bringing back gender policing to ban intersex & trans athletes, in time for the nazi germany olympics of 2028. oops, I mean united states.

4 frame comic. 1st frame shows a frame from the ai video of trump dumping shit from a plane. Text reads : here's why i think ai art is The quintessential aesthetic of fascism. 2nd frame shows a frame from the trump Gaza ai video. Text reads : Its the closest that oligarchs can get to artists' power to create universes out of thin air. 3rd frame shows ai picture of trump as a pope. Text reads : they see art as a threat because it questions and deciphers the myths, dogmas, lies and illusions that fascism is built upon. 4th frame shows a frame from ai video of mysk dancing with trump. Text reads : ai art being soulless, depthless and uncritical is a feature... not a bug.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

What is "plenary authority" and why is it a big deal that Miller said that Trump has it over the national guard?
4 frame comic where Miller slowly blinks. Text reads. A few hours ago, speaking on cnn about Trump's plan to send the national guard into us cities, Miller said : under title 10 of the us code, the president has plenary authority, has... He then fully stopped talking and just blinked at the camera, as if he realized that he said the quiet part out loud. "Plenary authority" means "complete power over a particular area with no limitayions". It is equivalent to ruling by decree, which us how Mussolini, Stalin or Hitler governed. Having "plenary authority" over the military would mean that Trump can just use the national guard as he pleases, no matter what the courts say. It's a power grab.

Ways to resist fascism
Ways to resist fascism. Drawing of a megaphone : once you have properly identified fascist rhetoric, don’t let it go unchallenged. Speak up when you witness attempts to normalize it. Picture of a book titled "resist". Knowledge is power. Learn, read, discuss about fascism and the ways fascist discourses can permeate culture and find its way in everuday conversations. Picture of someone doing a roman salute. Many hands are pointing at him. Laugh at fascists and their ideas. Take every opportunity to subject them to ridicule. The power people give them largely stems from sentimentaalinen of fear and inevitability, but they are all incompetent, insecure cowards. Picture of a button press. Most importantly, get involved in your community. Find roles for yourself and others. You might not topple a fascist government today, but you can find purpose and strength to live to fight another day.

This shutdown happened by design.
title : This government shutdown didn't happen by accident. it happened by design. 4 frame comic. we see Russell Vought, Curtis Yarvin, Russell Vought again, and the White House. Text reads : russell vought is the director of the u.s. office of management and budget and the key architect of project 2025. the nyt called him "the man behind trump's push for an all-powerful presidency." project 2025 includes a roadmap to achieve curtis yarvin's butter- fly revolution, in which the neo-reactionary leader advocates for replacing non-partisan gov't employees with loyalists, seizing control of public assets and centralizing power in a small group of elites. what vought aimed to do was create the conditions in which he could strip bare what he calls the "unelected fourth branch of government". back in february, he instructed agencies to prepare for mass layoffs on sept. 30th. this shutdown will give Trump the power to bypass Congressional oversight: Trump can just declare which areas are considered essential services, and ignore the 1974 law that prevents presidents from withholding federal dollars. this shutdown was the goal all along.

A useful glossary for 2025.
4 frame comics. in the first frame theres a MAGA hat. text reads : fascism is a "cult of the leader who promises national resto- ration in the face of humiliation brought on by supposed commu- nists, Marxists and minorities and immigrants who are supposedly posing a threat to the character and the history of a nation." (j. stanley, 2018) 2nd frame we see Trump's silhouette. text reads : authoritarianism is a political system that revolves around a central figure, a party or the military. it rejects political pluralism and the rule of law. in 3rd frame we see the Texas proposed congressional districts. text reads : An illiberal democracy is a governing system that "hides its nondemocratic practices behind formally democratic institutions and procedures" (bonet & zamorano, 2021) while suppressing opposing views. 4th frame we see Curtis Yarvin. text reads : the neo-reactionary movement, or dark enlightenment, is an anti-egalitarian ideology advoca- ting for a return to monarchy and a dismantlement of the state. yarvin, its founder, is backed by peter thiel and an influential friend of jd vance, as well as the thinker behind elon musk's d.o.g.e..

It's never too late.
4 frame comic. 1st frame is Charlie Kirk recording a podcast. text reads : It's never too late to realize that you've been duped by authoritarians offering you convenient scapegoats to your problems. Second frame is a silhouette in the dark in front of a computer screen. text reads : there is no shame in admitting that you once spoke from a place of prejudice or ignorance. third frame, we see someone using a bellow to light a fire. text reads : I bet fanning the flame of hatred must have felt nice and warm... purposeful even, in the coldness of our world. fourth frame is the silhouette of a demonstration with banners and raised fists. text reads : it might be a long journey to redemption, but it is the only destination worth it. There is a place for you in the resistance.
