I got like an hour on this bus so I want to shill a couple of my favorite indie cartoons that aren’t super popular _boisvert A surreal and abstract experience, often a little hard to understand but that gives way to unique interpretations. It’s eerie, raw, and emotionally resonant. Room the goat

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking. I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

Office Rep: Hello! this is the office for congressman Billy Bob. How May I help you?

Me: Hey my name is (Gov. name) from (residing city). I had some concerns.

Office Rep: Sure thing I can pass on a message!

Me: Are you familiar with this ongoing push for these online safety laws? 

Office Rep: Hmm...Is there a particular bill or law that it involves?

Me: A few actually! 

Office Rep: Go ahead!Me: the KIDS Act, Kids online safety act (KOSA), the Screen Act, Sammy's Law, and the App Store Accountability Act

Office Rep: Got it!

Me: I strongly oppose these laws and I urge Billy Bob to vote no when these bills are up for vote. They do nothing to actually protect children and are just a cover to suppress free speech. 

Also There's been a bipartisan push to end section 230. I think Section 230 should be protected since it's important for online free speech. I'm not a fan of this speed running of a surveillance state happening
right now. Have you noticed that?

Office Rep: (Chuckles) Okay, I have it all written down and I'll make sure Billy Bob gets the message. Thank you for calling!

Me: Thank you for listening.

More old art! I'm a reposting machine! This was a set of drawings of me and my friends 'sonas I did back in 2023. I wanted to get around to making more but ran out of ideas. I was attempting go for a more battle manga style at the time, as well as test some new brushes I'd downloaded. #myart #shArt

My and @lalodelasoul's sona posed up, my sona is wearing a puffy jacker with an armband and making a smug expression. Behind me Lalo's sona is looking more serious and also wearing a puffy jacket with vertical stripes on it with his hands in his pockets. Behind both of us is my sona's true form in this universe, a large eldritch creature with sprawling tentacles. A large toothy smile on my 'face' revealing an eye within its mouth. Both @xtremersadiq's and @sporktown's sonas. Spork's sona is dressed in a japanese sailor uniform, looking casual and chill while wielding a butcher's knife. Behind her is Sadiq's sona, floating casually and smiling as his body and ears trail off like a cloud. Behind them Sadiq's true form is shown, a weather elemental with a body made of thunder clouds, his head is shrouded in shadow as his eyes shoot lightning in all directions. @justcerebro and @shininghubee's sonas. Cerebro's sona wears an outfit based off of Daisaku Kusama from Giant Robo, on the sleeves of his blazer are pins dedicated to two V-Tubers he was a fan of at the time. On his wrist is a wristwatch just like Daisaku's meant to control and relay commands to Gun(shininghubee). Gun's sona is a little cartoon bee with gloves and sneakers, excitedly posing next to Cerebro. His true form is a giant bio-organic bug themed mech similar to those seen in "Aura Battler Dunbine", he has giant wings, antennae, a set of compounds eyes and an armored carapace. 
@kaboodledoodles and Starbeam's sona. Kaboodles is a little cartoon dinosaur with a goofy smile and noodle limbs, he floats humorously like he just smelled a delicious pie next to the more scary and spooky Starbeam. Starbeam's sona is in contrast far more unsettling, having a shyguy-esque mask that is cloaked in shadow with only one of his pupils visible behind the dark. He wears a hoodie and clutches his body tightly as if he is cold. Behind them is Kaboodle's true form, a giant ferocious dinosaur with design elements from the likes of Godzilla and Dinosaurus from Invincible. He is snarling and charging what looks like atomic breath within his mouth.
