ya cram ya culture down my throat
say I'm inferior when I find that I choke
you fill my mind with a false sense of history
and then you wonder why I have no identity?

Hoping to release a comic about super-tech-defenders from the American Government Engagements on Neutral Territory so it can be “Agents of AGENT.”

Also hiking Saturday I found some poo; I’m pretty sure this is coyote and raccoon poo. If you know please tell me!

hey guess who got 5.5 hours of great sleep but is now up with racing thoughts and some weird stomach upset.

I think one place I'm going with this is that any more tolerant state is facing a batch of new arrivals who will probably not have all that much money (very Great Migration) and even though a trans equivalent might not have the same generational poverty, wouldn't this be a great time to start making life easier for poor people in general? (Better transit, rent control, zoning mixed income areas, more benefits etc?)

A minor ethnic gripe here is that everyone always pulls Holocaust comparisons

but that isn't accurate to literal centuries of Jewish experience. That's sort of like referencing the 1921 Tulsa Massacre without any other incidents of anti-Blackness before or since, and as though there are no African-Americans around.

And, along those lines, I actually feel that transphobia news has a *lot* more in common with Black experience - conservatives rolled back rights, including with loss of life, the "opposition party" didn't get in the way, and the result was the Great Migration - not in Europe, but right here.

Sure I’d heard it before. It’s the same sort of sad song you hear in a million black and white movies that goes with the rain pouring down, the sort of thing you hear right before the private eye delivers the tough guy monologue.

In the personal side of politics here, I realize that beyond “person suggested my friends be genocided” and “this implies they would like to genocide my ethnic group and myself” as part of “decided scapegoating is a good distraction from rampant profiteering and environmental devastation,” this is bully behavior; not only do I want to fight because that’s a memory from childhood, but bullies pull this shit because they’re sure it’s safe to do so.

Trying to do more subtle #coloring on an old(!) #drawing. Adventurer encounters a minotaur in a dungeon somewhere. Found out the hard way that "paint and apply" is the brush I want in Clip Studio, and not "opaque watercolor," but I feel good about figuring it out finally.

I’m actually angry about transphobia this time round. The CPAC Nazis basically preached genocide. They need to be stopped, I would prefer legally and peacefully, and I have a very bad feeling that won’t happen.

Apparently the Green Party now limits their Twitter feed or apparently I got blocked for saying "if you show you don't care about artists by using an AI generated image, I am skeptical you care about any other workers."
