Let's usher in this new acc with some old college backlog

First, charcoal still life 🖍️
Gestural charcoal drawing of a kitchen scene: two pots warm up on electric burners, while a third sits on the countertop to the right. A dish towel hangs in the right background, with the rest filled by a fridge with two magnets. Gestural charcoal drawing of a kitchen sink, centered by three bottles, framed by the faucet in the behind them, a jar just out of left frame, and more dishes to the right.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment:

"To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.
Alt text: A tweet from Joey Mannarino (@JoeyMannarinoUS) dated August 27, 2025. The tweet calls for Health and Human Services to violate HIPAA laws and forward information about every transgender and transgender-questioning person to law enforcement for immediate detainment, claiming they are killing children in schools. It describes this as a matter of national security, says transgender people should be locked away and studied, calls for medical professionals who enable transitions to be expelled from the profession, and demands that the federal government treat transgender people as if they were terrorist organizations. The tweet shows it was last edited at 1:11 PM and has 5,049 views.

Hey guys, so remember how I wrote about the four stages of how P25 and Republicans want to enact anti-trans censorship?

This signals that we have FULLY entered Stage Two: We lose the trans internet. Stage One is over - they've already gotten there.

Please pay attention to this now.

remember your homeland's heritage
screenshot taken from the defunct mmorpg Free Realms. It centers on a human character riding a velociraptor on a cobbled road, framed by two plants grown into an archway. In the distance, there is a rustic village and a massive tree.

My husband and I run a game store and after all the tariff announcements, he decided to write out kind of a "behind the scenes" of how we spend and spill it out for people who don't understand. He's had so many reactions and shares I wanted to bring it here, too.

If you're protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.
Black graphic with text: "Know Your Protest Rights. You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”Know Your Rights.

apologies for the repost on this, there was an error that was bugging me that i wanted to fix ^v^; A drawing of my original character Sidca crouched atop a small utility pole looking down at the camera. a cat similarly is sat upon his back looking to the camera below. the sky is shades of morning purples, a cluster of trees also sits near the bottom of the image with their leaves in an autumnal shade.

More people need to understand the massive negative externalities - and huge bloody bills - imposed on the entire world wide web by LLMs.

The sense of entitlement to other people's labour and other organisations's hugely increased monthly overheads of the tech bros is nothing short of depraved.

The Wikimedia Foundation, which owns Wikipedia, says its bandwidth costs have gone up 50% since Jan 2024 — a rise they attribute to AI crawlers.

"GET BEHIND ME!"

Transphobia is now government policy and all queer people are in danger. To young trans people, I wanna reassure you that not every adult has gone mad and many of us have your back. We'll be fighting to the bitter end for a just world. THE FIRST PRIDE WAS A RIOT AND WE FIGHT BACK.
An illustration of Barney from the Dead End: Paranormal Park and DeadEndia franchise. He's a cartoony man with spiked hair and a yellow hoodie with a trans flag patch on the shoulder. He's holding a baseball bat and staring at the viewer with an angry expression. The background is a distorted trans flag.

Buzzed
Lineart doodle of of original characters Aran and Tao with some simple greyscale coloring. Aran sits on a chair, can of some drink in one hand an cigarette in the other, as he smirks at the viewer. Tao stands behind him, one hand in Aran’s fluffy hair, in the other hand a electrical haircutter and buzzing Aran’s hair.

This was my first big painting project, 9 6x24" panels studied from a walk around Cleveland. Decent for 2 days & nights without sleep, surviving that first final critique was worth it for the chocolate Dunkin donut and orange juice

[ #art #illustration ]
A set of 3 acrylic paintings. The first depicts a city street, there is a store sign in the right foreground, a car moving into frame from the left and 2 more cars obscured by a grassy median. The second depicts a glassy building reflecting yellow light, broken up by several trees with and without leaves. The third depicts a different building with several storefront awnings, cast in orange light, and is framed to the right by street lights and a cloudy, early evening sky to the left. Another set of 3 acrylic paintings, growing noticeably darker, saturated, and gestural. The first here depicts a sidewalk, framed by trees and greenery lit by ground lights, with parked cars to the right. A red fire hydrant leads the eye down the length of the sidewalk. The second depicts 2 trees painted in dark orange and maroon tones, contrasting a building softly lit with red and soft yellow. The third depicts a similar scene as the second, but the trees are nearly black in silhouette against a building brightly lit in yellow and orange, and the hint of a diluted purple evening sky. The final set of 3 acrylic paintings, which contrast deep indigo of night against bright warm tones. The first is a large tree, lit in the center-right by a street lamp. The second looks down a disheveled street. There is caution tape and orange cones around a small tree, and a car crossing the intersection in the background. The road is dark, without much lighting. The final piece shows the very first painting's store sign, giving context to the starting point of perspective.
