The song “Hunting the Wren,” performed by Lankum & featured on the #PeakyBlinders film soundtrack, draws on Irish folklore about the tiny birds. The name also appears in history: the Wrens of the Curragh, women who once survived on Ireland’s plains. Read an original account: bit.ly/4bioRZC

Fun Harry Potter and
JK Rowling Facts For Potterheads!

Prince Andrew, photographed with underage girls with Jeffrey Epstein, was invited in 2025 to the set of the new Harry Potter show years after his implication with Epstein..

JK Rowling once described Lolita as a "tragic love story" in an interview.

JK Rowling's team directly invited Jeffrey Epstein to the play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Epstein was at least seen to be connected enough to Rowling for folks to go to him to be connected with her.

Rowling once accidentally replied to a twitter post by a child's mom with hate speech copied into her clipboard.

Rowling has used her Harry Potter money to aid in the legal expenses of white supremacists because she agreed with their transphobia as well as successful judicial attacks on children by the UK supreme court.

Things continue. #iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls
In a lot of ways, I'm really lucky. I work from home. I write and draw books.
I still experience a lot of the same normal creative issues. I'm burned out.
My current project frustrates me.

But a few things in my routine have changed.

Me: Hey, mom. Are the cousins okay? How's grandma? And your sisters?

Me: Oh, good.
Yeah. Okay, that's good.
I'll call you later.

Watching Bob's Burgers on repeat while I work.
My friends check in from time to time.

Text: I got rubber-bulleted by ICE just on my way back from work. Ouch.

Text: Hey I'm gonna observe tomorrow at the protest. I'll text every hour, and if you don't hear from me, please call [number] and give them my identifying information. I'd probably be at the Whipple. Okay?

Text: They knocked on my door, but I'm okay.
I demanded a signed judicial warrant, and they couldn’t provide one, so they left. 

I’m worried all the time. Very little in the news feels encouraging.

Headline: Mayor Kaohly Her says she was told to carry a passport amid ICE operations in Minnesota

St. Paul Mayor elect Kaobly Her says her office received reports of federal agents going door-to-door asking where the Asian people are. KARE11 January 16, 2026
And it makes me feel utterly untethered from reality when I have to live like this and just get back to work and draw my stupid little cartoons.
Nothing else feels real or important right now.

But my neighbors are doing such a great job staying engaged and finding needs to meet.

Text: I'm running to Costco and picking up some canned goods to run to the food shelf. Let me know if you want to donate anything.

Text: I'll throw in for some canned goods!

Text: Me too!

Text from me: What's your Venmo? I can contribute.

thrilled and honored for SIMPLICITY to be on here. thank you NPR~
"Monsters, both metaphysical and metaphorical, threaten the ideals of a separatist utopian commune in a nearer-than-we’d-like future in which the U.S. has devolved into autonomous city-states. A trans anthropologist sent on a fact-finding mission for a philanthropic museum struggles to determine what’s real and what’s imagined in these sociopolitical contexts. What does it mean to be a member of a marginalized group recuperated into an oppressive society with a thin veneer of acceptance? What does it take to give up on the illusion of security as a complacent collaborator and dive into the precarity of radical revolution? Simplicity raises questions and hints at answers with a satirical voice and incisive imagery."
