I totally forgot to add that these guys are print-ready 3D models, not just the 2D render. If you want them physical, we can figure that out, whether we send over the models or print, paint, and mail them ourselves.

@rickyftw.bsky.social my other half has been spending some time messing around with Labubus in his art and couldn't help himself after watching yesterday's episode. He's been making all kinds of weird stuff like this. I call them Labozos.

You are fantastic. You are a moment of profound realization. You are the resilience of a water bear. You are a gothic film with practical effects. You are a labyrinth formed of ancient hedges, populated by eldritch hedgehogs and talking capybaras in top hats.

Fascist regimes thrive on propaganda, fear, and the erosion of critical thought. By reclaiming the narrative through verified information and public discourse, societies can resist normalization of authoritarian control and preserve civic freedoms.

Just a reminder that America will in fact crush fascism. It will take a while and it will be messy. But bet on it.

He did a remote town hall in my county. It was a freaking joke. He's the worst rep I've ever had. And that was before the current regime of monstrosities.

This is genocide. There is no die process. This treatment is intentionally dehumanizing. The people making the Hitler comparisons are right.

That is, in fact, what we are watching here. Trump has been beholden to Russian money since the 80s.

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

The distance between a legal resident who's not a citizen being deported without due process and a citizen being deported without due process is a hell of a lot shorter than many folks seem to believe, and when it does happen to a citizen, just remember it started here and who was quiet in response.

The cure for insecurity can only come from within. Maybe it's time for Elon to finally try therapy. He can get that autism diagnosis formalized finally.

I think somewhere in between. And then you get the people who will tell you you're holding a grudge against them because you're holding a boundary.

Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

Pretty sure he's a Schu-in to lose his next primary. Organizing around him would make it a sure thing. And make some of us constituents feel represented somewhere.

I think he's too old, too deaf, and has his head too far up his ass to hear it. For over a decade, every time I write or call his office, I get back irrelevant form letters about issues I didn't contact him about. He's a spineless man, made for soft times.

You're a spineless man, made for soft times. You've done a piss poor job of representing and responding to your constituents when things are good. What you are now is complicit. Go kiss Putin's ass instead.

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

Peach themed works in progress.
A jellyfish with a peach body and green and brown tentacles.

The contrast between the tentacles and body are meant to evoke the contrast of ripeness and decay, the way we can be full of ourselves in our prime, but reaching and grasping when we are not our best.

This jelly is taking in water for propulsion, the collar  tall and visible beneath the shroud of its body. A jellyfish with a peach body and green and brown tentacles.

It’s hard to reconcile the “they’ll go after ideologies they don’t like next” talk with the fact they’ve been openly targeting a whole suite of them associated with Black scholarship already. They’ve already threatened to defund any university teaching critical race theory. Why doesn’t that count?

My poodle puppy is 8 months old this week. She has taught herself to set traps. I walked into the kitchen last night and whispered, "Clever girl."
The doorway between my kitchen and porch is obstructed by a gallon of Dawn dish liquid (which she pushed at least 8 inches to tighten the gap in the doorway, smart little bitch), and her favorite stuffed duck.

Viktor Frankl speaks about “attitudinal freedoms” - when life or history or oppression curtails other freedoms the one freedom that always remains is the freedom to locate your values and attempt to live up the them.

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

She had to resign from the CT state Board of Ed because she lied about her degree. My bestie went to school in Hartford under her influence and the horror stories she tells me outrage me so much, they don't stay in my brain.

Tonight, no Senate Democrats voted for the ban on trans girls and young women participating in sports, and it failed cloture. The prevailing reasoning was far less about trans equality and far more about preventing genital exams of girls and young women. Don't be surprised when the GOP tries again.

So I've been doing some research into the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the real motivations. The problem is it's not something you can explain in 10 seconds. It's long, complicated and goes back hundreds of years. So I'm creating a series of WhiteBoard Explainer videos.

Fuck that guy. He knows what he did.
A screenshot of a tweet. 

Samon Without the L posts:
Ranking the 4 best live action jokers of all time:
1. Heath Ledger 
2. Joaquin Phoenix
3. Jack Nicholson
4. Cesar Romero

Jared Leto shows up to respond:
5. There's been 5 live action film Jokers. But fuck me, right?

Nexxdoor says:
Yeah, fuck you. 

Seriously, fuck Jared Leto. He knows what he did and that it isn't method, just narcissistic and abusive histrionics. I hope Stanislavski, Strasburg, Adler, and Meisner all haunt him like he's the Scrooge of dipshit actors.

I watched under 3 minutes of that travesty of a meeting and I've been angry for more than 3 days now. It's stupid, incensing, fucking triggering (classic abusive behavior!), and will absolutely result in unnecessary hardship and loss of life.
