Regardless of how one feels about the Catholic Church or about Pope Francis, now is a time to come together to claim that JD Vance killed him

I finally did what I have been wanting to do for FOUR years!! Meet the (almost) whole gang of my silly characters ❤️ This will be a free little A5 poster for all customers in my online shop and on conventions :> ! #art #cuteart

A picture of many animal characters chilling on a patch of grass. There is a poster of Mysticus the mysterious magician on a wall in the background. The other characters are: Cool Dog (he/him). Nobody knows his real name. Is just Really Cool. Rikky the raccoon (he/him). A rebel. Commits minor crimes on a daily base. Zap the crocodile (she/her). has too many jobs. Skit the cat (they/them). can't do anything without coffee. Loves naps. Weird humour but stil funny. Riley the Shiba Inu (he/him). An absolute sweetheart. Loves rom-coms unironically. Mo the seagull (he/him). Addicted to fries. Talks too loudly. The last one to get the joke. Rubi the fox (she/her). The best partner in crime. Can never sit still. Loves climbing trees. Miki the tiger (she/her). A badass with a heart of gold. Loves music. Late-night snacker. Phib the bear (she/her). Bookworm. Seems quiet but has a lot to say. Loves murder mysteries. Lala the frog (she/her). An artist. Loves all kinds of flowers. Plays pranks on her girlfriend Phib. Nim the bunny (they/them). The sassy friend. Really loves fluffy socks.

if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead” even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.

On her first day in the facility, Becky asked for a scrap of paper and a pen, and began to draw the inmates on the table next to her. She was immediately inundated with portrait requests. A Mexican woman called Lopez, who had a photo of her children stored on one of the iPads, told Becky she would buy her some paper and colouring pencils from the commissary if Becky drew her kids. She soon became the dorm’s unofficial artist-in-residence, with women huddling around the dirty mirrors to make themselves look presentable before they sat for her. They would decorate their cells with Becky’s drawings, or send them to their families. Lopez declared herself Becky’s manager. “She kept saying, ‘Becky, you need to ask for stuff in exchange. Ask for popcorn.’ And I’d be like, ‘Lopez, I don’t need anything.’ I thought, I’m here briefly, you’re stuck here a long time. I’m not going to take your food away from you.”A three by three grid illustrating in blue pen cartoon portraits of women in an ICE detention center. “Mrs Kailey,” Bana, Lewelyn, Ikram, Asil, ‘Auntie,’ ‘F.Z,’ Kseniia, and “P.A.” Two have light hair, three have glasses, one wears a hijab, one poses, and one holds a drink.

Everyone should read this, especially for the bits in the article that give us some insight into what these detention prisons used by ICE are like. And no one, no one, should be traveling to the US if they can avoid it. No one. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
