I understand why they're doing this, but fuck them. These mayors can't guarantee the safety of their own citizens from ICE, and they sure as hell can't guarantee the safety of Canadian visitors. Also, North Dakota, where 2/3 of voters voted for Trump, wants foreigners to come back? Fuck them twice.

This is an old piece that still makes me laugh, circa 2008. @tacorat.com sketched, I vectored. It was some seriously bitchin' salsa from Trader Joe's. Sorry about the size, it's a product of its time and I've since lost the vector file. (Fellas, you can use this excuse, works almost every time!)

A cartoony-styled illustration of an anthropomorphic rat and wolf exchanging dialog about some especially good salsa they acquired from a Trader Joe's back in 2008 in San Francisco. Pac, the rat, exclaims "OH MY GOD! THIS SALSA IS AMAZING!! WHAT'S IN IT?", and Tow, the wolf, responds "Beeeeeees.", their dialog written/stylized by the person who spoke. Bee butts/stingers can be seen embedded in the red, spicy wads of deliciousness. The original sketch was drawn by Pac (tacorat.com), the vector/color was... attempted by her husband Tow/vomitsaw a year or so later, 'cuz he slow. The incident, dialog, and image originally occurred and were created in January 2008. Both we're disabled by laughter for a solid five minutes. I don't recall if it was the delivery or what, exactly.

Lots of birds have great camouflage. The Sunbittern looks like the boulders they traverse. You have to watch the river until you spot a boulder that is moving. And if you get lucky they will show you what they are hiding under their wings. #birdsseenin2026 #CostaRica #hummingbirds #nikon #z8

A Sunbittern steps out to stand balanced on a gray rock in the middle of a shallow, flowing stream. The bird is captured from the side, showcasing its slender neck, long legs, and intricate brown, gray, and black patterned plumage that blends into the natural environment.

Closer view of the Sunbittern as it walks across rocks to cross the river. The birds overall body is round gray with black and white markings to match the rocks of its environment. It has a long slender neck that is rust in color. Its head is gray with two white stripes that are above and below the eye. Its beak is long and black on top and orange below.

An adult sunbittern viewed from behind spreads its wings wide to reveal a dramatic, symmetrical pattern resembling giant eyes. The upper plumage of the back and wings features intricate, horizontal barred stripes of black, gray, and brown. When fully extended, each wing displays a large, vivid eyespot with a dark central circle rimmed in crisp white, surrounded by a broad band of rich chestnut-orange and bright yellow. The sunbittern's small head is looking straight ahead., and its long, slender tail is closed and mirrors the black and gray banding of the wings.

Photo of a watercolor sketchbook page depicting a blue coyote in a depressive state.
The coyote looks out across a lamp lit room at a door cracked open to a dark hallway. Text: "sitting in my office late at night, a terrible ache along my neck- I wonder if this depression will ever lift?"
Below the coyote is laying down looking miserable. Text: "any feeling of joy seems suspended. All my energy is gone. I've been trapped in one room due to heat and illness. Well, at least He'll is cool."
