The last full moon rising over Lake Superior and under the Grand Marais lighthouse.

The full moon rises between the legs of a funky little lighthouse on Lake Superior. People are aimlessly walking around near the lighthouse, and the lighthouse's light is on. It's during the blue hour, so everything looks blue.

As someone who has been tweeted about personally by Rowling. And who spends my whole life trying to fight the damage caused by the litigation she funds. I think, personally, I would be less harmed by you giving me an actual kick in the ribs than watching the new Harry Potter & trying to justify it.

Isekai as a genre is exploding in popularity because it appeals to a universal desire to get hit by a truck rather than live in the 21st century.

And there you have it. The anti trans campaign in Maine was never some "grassroots movement." It was bankrolled by billionaire Richard Uihlein, who poured over $800,000 into targeting trans kids over sports and bathrooms.

My fellow cis folks, The FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to trans/gender content. Time to be an ally and tell the FCC absolutely the fuck not. It takes five minutes to do.

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading. From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.

Day 52: The Artistic Process™️ I can feel myself going insane

A 4-panel comic drawn in pen with inkwash shading. The panels are equal in size, are stacked vertically, and are wide and rectangular. Panels 1-3 show the same view of me sitting at my drafting desk working on a comic, doing the different stages (pencil, inks, erasing lines) and the fourth panel is looking over my shoulder at a finished comic.
In panel 1 I'm stooped over with my head resting on one hand while the other pencils out the comic, and the thought bubbles surrounding my head say "I can't believe we're all just sitting here adn watching this happen... half the country doesn't even know or care... god damnit."
In panel 2 I'm inking with a sable brush, with thought bubbles that say "What's going to happen to the immigrant families here... what about our schools... they're trying to criminalize librarians. And cut the whole health department. Jesus christ."
In Panel 3 I'm erasing pencil lines on the finished comic, and the thought bubbles around me say "Now he's going to privatize the USPS. Or dismantle it. Will my spouse have a job in a few months? What are rural communities supposed to do? Fuck."
Panel 4 shows the finished comic I was working on: a single panel with a top caption saying "When my cats get into the cheese puffs, lol" above a drawing of my cats farting comically (Egg Noodle's fart is blasting him into space). I'm looking at my creation and saying "Yeah that'll do it."
Beneath the comic is my signature (Kat Baumann), today's date (2-21-2025) and the time I spent drawing this (50 minutes)

statement by UT Austin faculty, announcing a strike tomorrow in protest of the police presence on campus

Too long for alt text here's a summary: faculty members at UT Austin are condemning the university administration's decision to invite heavily armed city police and state troopers to the campus in response to a planned peaceful educational event by the Palestine Solidarity Committee. The event was meant to include teach-ins, study sessions, pizza, and an art workshop, with no threat of violence or disruption. The faculty members witnessed police using excessive force against students, including punching a female student, knocking over a legal observer, and violently arresting students for standing at the front of the crowd. They are calling for no business as usual on campus and are urging the community to gather at the main mall in front of UT Tower the following day.

“What do you want? Tarot reading? Talk to your dead grandma? Oh.” Ed says, interrupting his own halfhearted spiel. Because as the kid pushes the beaded curtain aside and comes in, Ed can see that there’s a surprisingly solid-looking spirit trailing behind him, flinching slightly as the beads pass through him like he’s expecting them to hit. And from the spirit’s outfit, which looks several centuries out of date, if he’s a relative it’s a very very distant one. (Or he carked it at a costume party. Ed’s seen weirder.)

The kid watches Ed’s face as it flicks between him and the seemingly empty space over his shoulder. “Oh thank fuck, you can see him. Frenchie said you weren’t a fraud but he also believes that old guy down by the pier can turn into a seagull.”

Ed’s about to be annoyed about the fraud thing -- okay, he is, most of the time, but still, fucking rude, but then the spirit chimes in, voice as clear as if he were in the room with them. Which he is, technically. “Oh thank goodnes
