Update Sep 2026/Oct 2026 — IZAK
Not to ruin the surprise, but we were planning on recording an E.P. over the winter. We had a decent chunk of funds raised. But then I kept wanting to add songs to it, and it became a whole album, whi...

3 things about Dem politicians who dabble in transphobia: 1. It's wrong, they're wrong, on a moral basis they're being evil 2. It's stupid, they're stupid, they'll never get any credit from the fascists for it 3. It's proof you're not capable of reading or rising to this, and therefore any, moment

PANEL 1: MATTIE is talking to a FRIEND.
FRIEND: AND THEN I WAS LIKE, OH MY GOD! THIS IS JUST LIKE WHEN GEMINI THE CAT–
MATTIE: –OK. I'M REALLY SORRY.

PANEL 2: MATTIE rubs her eyes.
MATTIE: OUTSIDE OF YOU REFERENCING A BOOK FOR CHILDREN IN EVERYDAY ADULT LIFE, YOU HAVE TO KNOW AT THIS POINT THAT THE AUTHOR OF THE "SPOT VOYAGER: DOG ASTRONAUT" SERIES HAS BEEN USING HER WEALTH TO DESTROY LIVES. MINE, SPECIFICALLY.

PANEL 3: Over the shoulder shot of MATTIE, who stares at the FRIEND, arms outstretched. From behind Mattie, two GOONS approach, wearing space helmets and big dog paws.
FRIEND: YEAH, THAT'S WHY I DON'T BUY ANY OF HER STUFF. BUT WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, NOT BRING IT UP? THE SERIES IS BELOVED!

PANEL: Same shot, MATTIE is being dragged off. The FRIEND puts a finger on his chin.
FRIEND: WOW… THIS IS JUST LIKE THAT ONE PART IN THE FIFTH BOOK.

When digital art programs came out there were those who insisted digital art wasn't art. I think that's what AI ppl hear when I say images made by generators aren't art. But they are intentionally disregarding the essential element here, which is fucking humanity. A human being creating something.

No, the assumption that disabled people require our colleagues’ stolen words and illustrations chopped up and spewed out in order to participate in art is ableist. We have BEEN creating art. Many of the works you love? Made by someone marginalized out of traditional jobs.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You  know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …
