Starting my #ArchivePosting series using Drake, my partner’s shih tzu who slowly sorta became my dog too. Hems getting older every day and I figure I ought to post more of him while I can. Napakataba, sobrang nakakagigil.

Hundreds Murdered by Hitmen Inspired by Duterte's 'Davao Death Squad'
The ICC trial of former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte is the necessary antidote to this contagion of state-sanctioned murder in the Philippines. #TagumDeathSquad

Just reminded again of Ser Dunk’s battle in the trial of 7. I have never seen cinema so fucking potent, in a while. It made me remember to be a man.

this is just like the moment I start typing pretty intensely, there’s a precise 2-5 minute timer that starts before a serious conversation is had, one that usually derails my concentration for a good 30minutes-hour. I’ve developed a habit as a result of fake-typing for about a minute before working.
my wife has developed a new bit where she waits until the exact moment I hit play on the youtube video I’ve spent ten minutes hunting for that perfectly fits our mutual tastes to announce she’s going to bed

Understand the sentiment about Fox being just the worst. But you do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to Chinese state media.
Compare Chinese state media (below) with US state media (Fox et al, with increasing bleed-over into many "legit" news operations.)
China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies.
It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony

everytime I see this in southeast Asia my heart becomes a bunch more Maoist. like I just know the landowner isn’t doing shit to even think about making recompense replanting/seeding elsewhere, or even making good use of the lumber, just selling it off. that was a beautiful heart of Earth you devil.
A beautiful and healthy 400 year old oak tree near my house was mysteriously assessed as “dying” and cut down after surveyors said it was thriving
probably a coincidence that the landowner wants to let a local football club pave over the site but couldn’t bc of the tree

last night and a few days ago encountering what I imagine is one of the most prolific (and homegrown!) tabletop projects that I’ve ever seen inspired me to be more posting of my shit on here. so I guess I’ll post more CHASM stuff.

“Light Melts Ice”, 24x24. Acrylic on canvas. Trying to express reactions to our current state of affairs. I want to be hopeful yet very aware of where we are. These are crude and I will probably continue on this after it dries. But it felt good to let anger and outrage flow.

The 87th Precinct novels were a major influence - not least because of the detailed world building that went into the imaginary city where the precinct is located.

crazily, there are some things in our lives that can be a little hard to be hardy against– with that, I can be a little thankful at how toothless, and dependably so, Bluesky can be. this place is a sanctuary, even for the meanwhile
