Alright, let's do this one last time… https://linktr.ee/indigo_k he/him, y'all

Azhrarn, Prince of Demons from Tanith Lee's Night's Master. We all know that's not what I drew, but I learned the writer cribbed Sandman from Lee around the same time we learned he was a serial abuser of women. I tried to contact the estate to ask about the comic rights, but never got a response

This sends the message to men and boys — from classrooms to Congress — that abusing women is not disqualifying. That it won’t stop you from getting what you want in life. This is much bigger than just Max Miller. But Miller’s comments are sure symbolic of it. 2/2

This highlights a profound impact of Trump — the further normalization of violence against women. Trump got elected in spite of his long history of violence against women. He is not held accountable when he continues to abuse women. 1/2

Max Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight."

I don’t think you ever get over seeing a book you wrote sitting on library shelves & bookstore shelves 🥹😁 I’m So Happy You’re Here: A Celebration of Library Joy written by myself, illustrated by Lorraine Nam 🐧 📖

Saw some guy asking (paraphrase): For the anti-AI crowd, what would you do if it disappeared today? Would you be able to manage without it? Hell, yes. Because I already DON'T USE IT! Weird attempt at "Gotcha!" Don't know any anti-AI types who are using GenAI unless it is somehow forced on them.

Kids, if you're going to mark trans people as a flavour of human, you need to do the same with cis people. Some consideration -- literally any at all -- for trans men and nonbinary trans people would also be welcome. Additive, not replacing. Expanding our understanding of who is harmed.

We got some quotes from @wyden.senate.gov about his wild report yesterday about banks withholding suspicious activity reports about Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking empire because they wanted to keep the lucrative relationship. Crazy conduct and Wyden has some good solutions for it.

Sen. Wyden Report: Banks Systematically Ignored Jeffrey Epstein’s Crimes - The American Prospect

The report shows how employees at Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, and JPMorgan helped to hide Epstein’s activities because he was a load-bearing part of their ‘wall of cash.’

Sometimes I really love the country of my birth. Deranged selfish American christian trying to inflict his views on everyone on the train & he’s heckled, laughed at, & told to shut the fuck up. You can have your beliefs, but no one else needs to hear them unless requested.

I still do not understand why chart bros think that we need to pretend poor people have it good in America or else we’re “handing it” to the Republicans. Both parties have spent the past 4+ decades completely dismantling the social safety net. It is not a mystery why it’s hard to be poor in America

If you're still on Substack, you're helping platform fascists and their enthusiastic minions, such as Bari Weiss, whom they actively partnered with just before her move to CBS. Go check out @buttondown.com and @ghost.org instead. You can even migrate yours subscribers and subscriptions!

What if instead of starting substacks in twenty-fucking-twenty-six people learned to give one iota of a fuck about whether they want to associate themselves with nazis.

Transportation secretary Sean Duffy benefited from millions in corporate donations to make a show about road trips. But two months after Duffy said the show would premiere, it doesn't appear to exist at all. My latest False Flag @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/what-the-h...

What the Hell Happened to Sean Duffy’s Road-Trip TV Show?

Three months after it was announced, the secretary of transportation’s summer show—funded by companies he regulates—hasn’t aired a single episode.

Booker: "They have become so obsessed with the millions the Bidens made that they have ignored completely the billions of dollars the Trump family is making. That is like being obsessed with a stain on the living room carpet when behind you is a mountain of excrement."

Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "
