If you have ever read a book to a baby, you will realize it's not a linear experience. The baby wants to turn pages backward, wants to ask questions (if they're old enough), wants to examine the pages and get really excited if they can say "bear!" even if the word "bear!" is not on the page.

The narrative that Americans are divided on abortion is a lie to hide just how undemocratic bans are—and convince lawmakers to take weaker stances on abortion. ~70% of Deep South voters oppose abortion bans. I wrote about the implications of this:

Plus, Deep South voters are the least likely to say that abortion should never be permitted.

It feels like one of the tenets of the MAGA movement is you always have to act like you're the dumbest motherfucker alive. JD Vance has a degree in political science and philosophy from Ohio State. He has a law degree from Yale. He absolutely knows what socialism is, but he has to do this act.

My next book has a whole section on the psychology behind "People becoming successful by simply lying about already being successful then charging other people to learn their 'secrets' about how to become successful". This would make a perfect case study, but I doubt the legal team will go with it.

Lawvers for Andrew Tate have had to admit in
court that he is not a citizen of Estonia as he
previously claimed.
Much of his wealth and status is fabricated, they
said in attempt to convince the court he and his
brother are not a flight risk if released on bail
That included his claims to seven passports.
"The Tates are engaged in several businesses
teaching men how to earn money. It is in their
interest to portray themselves on social media
as uberwealthy." 1/3

This was so important to me to do
Old looking photo of a large-ish rock or piece of land (large for a rock, small for a piece of land if that makes sense) surrounded by a lake, atop the rock is a toilet on a pole. It's beautiful. Screenshot from the game Minecraft that is my attempt to recreate the beauty of the first photo. I really hope it gives off the vibe of 'this is where I post from' but honestly there are a lot of glow squids in the water so this screenshot goes pretty hard all on its own. Elevated but complimentary. Gotta make the scene more whimsical tho.

"The current level of political animosity is exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s citizens." There are not enough exclamation points to convey how I felt reading this paragraph
Screenshot of article which reads: From this perspective, the “both sides” frame falls apart. The prob-
lem is not that the parties are divided. The problem is the existential 
threat that a reempowered ethnonationalist strain poses to pluralistic 
U.S. democracy writ large. The current level of political animosity is 
exactly what one would expect to see if an extremist faction attempted 
to rescind the hard-earned rights of the vast majority of the country’s 
citizens. The only way to re-oppress most of a country is to use anti-
democratic and authoritarian tactics. And the only way to oppose those 
tactics is to push back as a population and clearly reject them. This is 
the argument happening in the United States, and its pathology is not 
anger—it is the movement to undermine a generation of rights.

Any survivor of a rape isn't surprised by the recent Cornell news. We know our rapists rarely face consequences, if any. Many of us don't bother to report because we saw how others were treated before us. Instead, we're questioned about every choice (including clothing) we made that day.

A freestanding shelf is filled with plushies and stuffed animals. Elephants, bears, dolls, little horses, etc. Everyone is wearing a pink bow on their head, except for one: A tiny man, smaller than the rest of the group, hiding on the top shelf without his bow. A woman, who is not tiny and wearing a matching bow, stands next to her shelf of stuffed animals. She looks at the floor and sees that one of the bows has been thrown to the ground. “Looks like someone’s not wearing their bow,” she says. Her cat looks up at the top shelf, giving away the tiny man’s position. 
Reader, we can’t be certain what happens next but there will likely be a punishment for bow removal. Also, let me tell you that while I like this piece, the line work bugs me a little. This is an older one and looking at it now I have to say that it’s too precise compared to some other drawings. Sometimes when I’m trying to add more details or multiple characters, I tend to slow down and be too deliberate with my lines. That’s not a bad thing but I prefer lines that indicate shape or at least feel spontaneous so there’s more energy. I’ve gotta trust myself when drawing and just let it rip. Of course it really doesn’t matter but at the same time it matters so much. We move on. We try again. Also, I’m going to make plush animals. I’m working on it.
