This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants.
This is horrifying beyond words.

I wanted to be Alanna the Lioness finding her own way from ~12. Not doing what her parent wanted.
I have a hard time with this because I'm bad at remembering characters in the moment but I think I've never truly related to a character overall more than adora from she-ra and before that it was Rapunzel from tangled) hahaha (emotionally I'm a blonde)

#50501 encouraging us to go outside at 8 PM local time and ring a bell for 10 seconds. Tonight and every night until they are GONE. You can use a recording of a bell of course (Siri has one, youtube has one--just skip the ad!). Just 10 seconds. Let freedom ring! Down with the fascists!

The shortages are coming. If you can swing it, get 20 lbs each of rice and beans. If you have space, try to grow some of the produce you need over the summer. It won't make up for everything, but every little bit helps. If you have neighbors who garden, set up an exchange. We can do this.

'Rolling hills by the Irish coast' - I don't think I've shared this landscape yet! It was a commission completed in Autumn 2024, they wanted an aerial inspired by a specific region of the Irish coast :) I loved the curious field shapes! #embroidery #fibrearts

My first card of the year (left) & my latest (right). We'll see if I'm able to find some time to do any more before year's end, but I like this pair! 2.5"X3.5" bristol cards, red lead pencil sketch base, various sizes of Microns & a bit of Dr. Ph. Martin's Pen-White from a .35 Rotring Isograph.

Great ready for faculty bot-ification
If we want there to be such a thing as college faculty, that is.

My doctoral studies are possible due to my faculty funding: without it, I would not be producing research into Christian extremism in Canada, an under-researched topic.
Farming out TA tasks to a computer programme removes the humanity from the humanities. It harms scholarship.

(Btw, here in the real world, by using our AI tool to remove simpler tasks, I repurposed my human course assistants to exclusively tutor students who were really struggling after the midterm. More useful work for the humans, better help for the students! Productivity is good!)

This could destroy the livelihoods of many indie comics creators by jacking up the costs of everything - think of crowdfunding shipping alone. Please tell your US reps and senators to do all they can to fight the privatization of the USPS.

A reminder that Canada Post workers wanted to do rotating strikes, so mail could still be delivered.
The corporation then locked them out.
Our government needs to stay out of labour disputes.
If you support the gov't ordering postal workers back to work, you do not support workers rights, full stop.
