Massachusetts is moving towards strong protections for the right to read! You've got a few minutes, you can send an email!

UPDATE! Several senators have filed amendments that, if passed, will significantly strengthen the bill! Please urge your senator to vote for Amendments 1, 4, 5, 6, and 18. This must be done before Wednesday, so the sooner the better. More details...1/5

URGENT Call to Action: The Senate version of the S.2696 is moving out of committee BUT this version does not include any protections for book creators and only contains weak first amendment protections. The timing is tight: please email your senator before Wednesday, Nov. 12! More info:

SERIOUSLY?

Alternative girl looking over her shoulder at the viewer with disgust. She is reading a zine. She wears a leather jacket with a broken chain patch on the sleeve, and the words WORMS on the back with a large earthworm patch. She has bleached hair with black roots and an eyebrow ring and a nose piercing. The text above her reads, “Ew, you don’t read zines??” The zine has the writing: “Why farts are the call of the worker” with a farting cartoon butt.

Meet my newest creation: Jasper the Festive Moth of Doom! I designed, hand-sewed, and hand-embroidered him. Jasper fervently believes that just because he's a moth of doom doesn't mean that he can't also be a fun and celebratory fellow.

www.patreon.com/jeremycreature

Here's a lovely photo of Jasper. He's a black fabric art moth with a gray face and seven red eyes. He has a small open mouth with two sharp teeth on the top and three slightly larger sharp teeth on the bottom. He's covered with red embroidered flowers with gray lines around them. Short red lines and gray points and other folk art looking markings cover his body. He his twirly black antennae covered with short red lines all in a row. There's green fur in the background of the pic.

Here's another lovely photo of Jasper. His antennae are pointing upwards in this one with a slight curl at the end.

Pen drawing of a large, vaguely humanoid figure with a simple disc for a face surrounded by a thick oval halo while two organic limbs rise from behind it's shoulders while it opens up wings that reveal the void of space with stars as they arc around it's body that seems to be made up of several other figures and forms as if a portal. In front of this are several figures in poses suggesting that they are worshipping this scene while all around are strange ancient cathedral looking ruins with ancient Egyptian style textures and patterns.
