writer, illustrator, lover boy Currently writing the first draft of DON'T GO GENTLY, a modern Robin Hood retelling that actually gets the fucking assignment (collectivism, anti-Capitalism, direct action, and vigilante justice).
An sketch of a young man with an intense stare. A caption reads, "He had a way of staring that made one feel cleaved asunder."
When I need a break from writing my first draft I do something relaxing, like draw my characters. Surely this won't lead to burn out or anything

A tall, handsome man adjusts his tie. There is a cigarette dangling from his mouth and he is looking through the corner of his eye at his boyfriend, who is hugging him from behind. They're both wearing suits. Are they attending a wedding? Getting married? It's hard to say.

What is happening in Minneapolis is a precursor to a vile national operation that is eugenic & supremacist at its core.
As our government targets, abducts & kills us, we are being presented with an opportunity to rely on each other, writes @autumnmeghanbrown.bsky.social in an op-ed.
No! Bye!

Hell yeah!
a blurry screenshot of a caption Sam is making for instagram that will definitely get him shadowbanned. it reads: "The mishandling of Robin Hood and his Merry Men in the late 20th and 21st century is something I find deeply disturbing. I could write an entire doctoral thesis about the subtle shift in his narrative driven by the people bankrolling the movies, TV, and books written about him in the past forty-odd years. Seems like Hollywood got the directive from their puppetmasters to make us think twice about a hero that is truly, completely FOR US. DON'T GO GENTLY is my middle finger to the establishment and the billionaires and the oligarchs that want us scared and disenfranchised. ROBIN HOOD IS A HERO, FULL STOP, I WILL NOT BE TAKING QUESTIONS, YOU CANNOT CHANGE MY MIND. FREE LUIGI"
I'M UNGOVERNABLE!

“Francis believes that change will endure. “This is who we are now. We have gained so many people into a community of love and care. I just don't see that changing…”
“This extreme closeness, togetherness and intimacy—you cannot infiltrate your way into a space where you'll understand that" says May”

Fanart for The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin. A scribbly drawing of mountains and glacier with two very small figures dragging a sledge across the landscape, sun just warming the tips of the mountains. Handwritten scribbly text reads "I think we might make it, he said," then over a drawing of a figure almost silhouetted in the foreground (Genly Ai) looking towards a figure whose fur-lined coat is illuminated round the edge with light as they look out at the landscape, "with that complete simplicity / I had so long taken / for irony"
Finished reading The Left Hand of Darkness a couple weeks ago and still thinking about it, and wanted to draw one of my favourite quotes. #art
A rough watercolor sketch of a young man with red hair and freckles, wearing camo clothing. He is drawing back a modern recurve bow and he is also making direct eye contact with you while he smiles. He is also very pretty.
Maybe the biggest pebble in my lifelong shoe is that nobody making mainstream media seems to fucking understand Robin Hood.
I'm writing DON'T GO GENTLY because if you want something done right, you gotta do it your damn self.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop
And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)
RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
Mopsy is practicing archery but after missing the target several times she finally breaks her bow in two using her foot, runs over to the target, takes out a gun, and shoots it to pieces.
Mopsy by Gladys Parker from February 15, 1953.
"If you decide to strike that match, the fire could spread from sea to shining sea, so be sure that’s what you really want. Fire is fair to a fault."

Wrote somewhere in the ballpark of 4k words this week.
The passage below may sound like it's about current events, and it is, but it is also part of the Robin Hood retelling I'm writing out of pure spite.

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites
Every major website/company now: Yeah if we find out you post or look at a boob we will freeze all your accounts without warning
The CEO of every major website/company over Gmail: Oh Jeffrey you are simply a hoot. Lovely spending time with you on Party Pervert Pedo Island
Jeffrey Epstein: yeag ,
