it's the Muppet Show with our special guest, GOETZ OF THE IRON HAND!

the best tattoo I've ever seen was either HECHO EN MEXICO with the li'l eagle, or the scientist who had centimeter scales tattooed along the inside of their thumb and along their forefinger

apparently Wednesdays are my pissed about government/AI (same fucking thing innit?) days

let's pretend for a brief moment illegal immigration is something to crack down on and law enforcement in general actually serves and protects the community.

You can probably guess what I think, but let's pretend. An agency about this has exactly NO authority or reason to;

1) haul unarmed civilians off to camps anywhere, especially outside the country, potentially for free labor
2) fight "gang crime," that's for other agencies (and adjacent organizations like the USCG)
3) spontaneously execute or kidnap anyone, illegal or not
4) openly advocate racism
5) have a larger budget than an actual branch of the military, a lot of which goes to cronies' companies
6) serve as a way for the President to get back at states and cities he doesn't personally like
7) serve as a way for the President and his party to woo conservative voters with a feel-good war, only without the downside of Americans coming back traumatized, disabled, or in flag draped coffins

Again I feel the most conservative position has to be "suspend operations temporarily until potentially years of investigations have been completed, temporarily authorize and fund alternative (perhaps state/local agencies) to do the actual stated job." This isn't of course what I ACTUALLY think, because I don't think ICE has EVER acted in good faith.

I may be a sad ancient neurospicy trans heeb with a past I deeply regret, no fucking future, and no assets worth shit, but I'm still several dozen times more worthwhile than the richest man in the entire world. How the fuck's that even happen?

@Tuftears Hey thanks!

hot take: leopard seals are what happens when a trans guy trying to reach some sort of peace with all the bullshit he caught about his weight as a kid, decides to make a shark fursona.

Last night’s #drawings

Last night’s #drawings were more comfort after not drawing this weekend.

FICTIONAL VILLAIN: what if you decided to turn all the ostracism, victimization and forced invisibility on your oppressors, to make sure no child like you grows up like you had to, what if you no longer cared it was unfair or perpetuated the cycle?

REAL LIFE VILLAIN: what if you wanted more money?

y'standin' in line
y'believin' the lies
ya bowin' down to tha flag
ya got a bullet in ya head

HPL [scribbling more frantically]: Put on your nose guard! Put on the life guard! The five dimensional solids! There goes the sting ray! There goes a manta ray! There goes a jellyfish! Ia, Ia... Watch out for that piranha! There goes a narwhal! Heh, heh... ever heer tell uv a SHOGGOTH?

LOVECRAFT: We were at a beach, one of those dreary wave-shattered places of ferocious cold that dot the coast outside Kingston. Everyone had matching towels. I went under a dock, and there I saw a rock. BUT IT WASN'T A ROCK! It was far worse, something I cannot and MUST not recall!

Washington/Seattle folks;

HB2112 proposes age verification for web use in Washington. Please comment here to oppose it;

#drawing with Ticonderoga carmine red. Feels good but not great; the softness is nice and it leaves little residue on the page like graphite pencils but the lead is somehow very brittle and prone to break, and I’d forgotten that.

also figured out some small but useful puzzle pieces today;

1) narcissists win b/c they value being the awesomest best person at all times. Whereas a neurotypical person values negotiation and some self-doubt, and an abuse victim has been trained to negotiate and self-doubt.

2) it's not that Christians always think they're doing the right thing, AND they think having professed the right faith saves them. It's that having professed the right faith, they therefore must be espousing right things.

something something Zootopia 2 didn't actually include a blockwar between Birute Galdikas Block and L David Mech Block civ-def forces, and Nick and Judy traveling to Brit-Cit

with the sequel my hopes of getting Judy's clone saga or a showdown with the Deadworld ZPD gets further and further away
