This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets. Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.

Happy Pizza Table Day! It's the 41st anniversary of the US patent for the "pizza saver" being issued to Carmela Vitale on Feb. 12, 1985. A similar patent was first issued to Claudio Daniel Troglia in Argentina on Feb. 28, 1974. So from Feb. 12-28, you can celebrate by ordering some pizza!

A U.S. patent document with engineering sketches for the "pizza saver." Diagrams show a small plastic three-legged "table" maintaining space between food (pizza) and the lid of a cardboard box. The document includes a header with the date "Feb. 12, 1985."

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

“There’s no point to calling because my senators already agree with me” “There’s no point to calling because my senators won’t listen” These are both false information and you should correct and/or block anyone circulating them. Your calls are tallied and create support and/or real pressure.

A personal piece on painful healing ❤️‍🩹

Two watercolour and ink pieces, side by side. One features a naked person floating in a sitting, slightly curled up pose, on a black background. They're holding a bow and pulling it's string and an arrow pointed towards themselves. Thorny vines grow around them. The text says: "If I am not to blame, then where do I point my arrow?"

The second piece is also on a black background, but this time it's a broken bow and a few broken arrows hidden in a curly plant with vibrant leaves ranging in colour from green to yellow to orange, blue and purple.
The text on this one says: "I will grow stronger and kinder "

Most of us “become disabled“ by finally admitting it to ourselves. We have to fight the medical community and our own community to get any sort of accommodations, and when we run out of energy to fight, we just don’t get accommodated—and we’re shut out of society.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

The cover spread from a one page zine printout. The left (back cover) features images of a scale and gavel, with notes on First Amendment and filming rights, and the advice to “shut the fuck up.”

On the right is the cover, a megaphone with the title text “PROTEST SAFELY.” Behind it are faceless protestors. The subtitle notes, “A brief collection of tips from around the internet.”

A spread from one page zine printout.
On the left is an illustration of a protestor with the title “What to Wear,” including a helmet, goggles, ear plugs, gloves, a mask, a backpack, and layers/long sleeves/pants. Each have additional notes explaining their use.

On the right is “What to Bring,” featuring illustrations of a backpack, money, water bottles, a mask, a granola bar and bag of trail mix, a first aid kit, folded shirt and pants, and an ID, with “DIY Defense” listed underneath it showing one protestor using a luggage case, one holding a trash can lid, and one using an open umbrella as a shield.

A spread from one page zine printout.
On the left is “Protect Your Identity,” advising to cover up identifying features, avoiding photography of protesters, deactivating biometric phone-unlocking tools, and writing emergency contact and counsel numbers on your arm.

On the right is “Be Like Water,” the motto of the 2019 Hong Kong protests, and the text “BEWARE THE BAIT” with images of a palette of bricks and a masked man holding a crowbar toward a protestor with a sign, “Psst, free crowbar?” encouraging the reader not to engage with traps and undercover agents.

A spread from one page zine printout featuring the hazards of protest opposition, including tear gas, rubber bullets, and LRAD sound cannons and flash bangs. Caution tape images accompany the text explaining the dangers of each, how to flush out eyes that have been maced/etc, and how to extinguish a gas canister with a traffic cone.
