Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

This is making the rounds on Tumblr again, so I'm sharing it here for anyone struggling to put Accurate Boat Stuff in their creative work. (These are excerpts from my comic A Week at Sea with OHP, which you can read online here: lucybellwood.com/new-comic-a-...)

I'd never seen this Roy Lichtenstein painting before, but it's incredible how he manages unfailingly to make his copies worse than the original comics he's ripping off.

A drab pop art painting of a sinister man driving a car, watching a stoic blonde in leopard print fur. The proportions of the guy's face are off

The original image, from Girls' Romances 78 by Tony Abruzzo. The guy has a more sinister leer, while the woman has heavier mascara and feels both sadder and more determined. A caption reads "I vowed to myself I would NOT miss my appointment -- that I would NOT go riding with him--yet before I knew it..."

i call this "neoteny of the oppressed" btw. because children are the archetypal objects of legitimate coercion (violence, authority, control, etc) any vulnerable group can have their autonomy stripped by first linking them to children & childlikeness. the comparison legitimizes any act of coercion

As I explain that "we have to sacrifice the human rights of some groups" and "you actually don't have a choice about who you vote for" are sentiments that directly contradict the founding principles of Liberalism, I am repeatedly tased and dragged away by police, to the applause of onlookers

i think in the future all art will be a perfect sphere that we all go look at, one giant orb in the center of america that we all go and stand in front of and point at it and say "there it is, there's the art". nobody knows who made it or where it came from or why it's there, we just look at it.

Here's a few more Star Trek fan art pieces. I hand-letter everything because I don't have all the fonts or the knowledge of how to do it another way (that I'm satisfied with.) I've always got time for Odo/Quark/O'Brien tributes.

A mash up illustration of Odo and Columbo labeled as "columbodo"

Miles O'brien with his hands on his hips with his sleeves rolled up. Around him is the statement "Endure and Thrive like you are Miles F'n O'Brien"

Odo and Quark having a stare-down with each other. Quark is amused. Around them in a circle is the text: Sometimes your nemesis and your best friend are the same weird little goblin.

Socialism stands against all imperialism, not just America’s imperialism. We stand against all genocides, all apartheid, all conquest, all exploitation. Foreign policy that rewards peace and punished war will create more peace and less war.

Just canceled my DashPass and sent this email to DoorDash. I encourage you to do the same if you support D.C. home rule. press@doordash.com and ir@doordash.com

Hello,

I’m writing to let you know that I just canceled my DashPass because of DoorDash’s disgraceful campaign against D.C. home rule.

DoorDash is urging Congress to nullify a new D.C. law imposing a 20 percent tax on food-delivery services—not merely by overturning that law, but by prohibiting the District from enacting any new tax without prior congressional approval. That is an extraordinarily sweeping assault on D.C.’s right to govern itself and an odious insult to the District’s residents.

I am especially disgusted by DoorDash’s public claim that it is somehow defending D.C. residents while actively seeking to strip us of our right to govern ourselves through our own democratically elected lawmakers. Please do not pretend that disenfranchising District residents is an act undertaken on our behalf.

I intend to publicize DoorDash’s attack on home rule as widely as possible and urge everyone I know to boycott the company.

Shame on you.
