I've been planning to pick up a little matchbox light bus when I'm back next year! The pastry tin designed to look like one isn't quite cutting it, cute as it is hahah.
THE! WORST! SHIT!
never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.
My maternal grandfather died when my mom was 3, but my mom told me this story about how the light bus driving test in Hong Kong was to cruise around the city with a glass of water on the dashβand if you spilled even a drop, you were not hired. I think about that weirdly a lot.

Stag photographed with wire wrapped around antlers by Tolu Oloruntoba Your modern crown of green fence does make you larger than you were. I too, would like to wear my confinement as antlerpiece, to have discovered the rutting of the green of forest and the eternity of hydrocarbons, to be thus followed by worshipful watchers as I anoint and lift up the twisted child that must inherit all earth. Eido. Lo. Ecce! Note: Poem title is from Bullock, C. (2024, October 1I). Stag photographed with wire wrapped around antlers. BBC News. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckg901kj2neo

Iβm actually not sure we can come back from βprediction markets for war crimesβ, as a society. I think this might be it for us.
perfect representation of the vicious asininity of our persecution and the banal mechanisms of its implementation: these regular-ass people, the staff at the dmv, dutifully inflicting whatever absurd degradation they're told, no matter how blatantly, cruelly pointless. would you do that? will you?
kind of what it looks like, too
this is the sound of being alive in 2026 tbqh
The day after we put the final touches on issues #88-91 of βSwamp Thingβ, news broke about the passing of Tatjana Wood, the original colorist on the series. Tomorrow, March 2nd, would have been Tatjanaβs 100th birthday. Letβs raise a glass to one of comicsβ originals.
This is a policy of genocide.
This look is SO PERF
Oh no Iβm saying that you already very much can.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
