Proud to say I work for an org like this 👇😂 (though in a totally different field...no pun intended).

“I think people either got to get big or get weird,” Josh Payne said. “We chose to get weird.”

I'm going to be trying out Hubzilla a bit more.

If you materially support a genocide, what does that make you? How about if you pledge political allegiance to the people who are providing material support for a genocide? Questions that would keep me up at night if were I a different kind of person.

If capitalism works so well, why is it so hard to find a paying job doing labor that is actively beneficial to society, or at least not actively propagating harm?

@kyle Not just apartments...I remember walkisng down to the Post Office with my grandma in a small town, and they still had this type of door. circa 1970ish It might have had two dials, IIRC.

Point being: people make mistakes. Even people who really, truly should know better.

You might be tired.
You might be unwell.
You might be distracted.

You might click the link.

And so might people you're tasked with helping and protecting.

Keep that in mind. It's never just the person's fault.

Design systems and policies in a way that takes this into account, always. Add a little friction, it really helps.

Because… people make mistakes. Even people who really, truly should know better.

Looks like the only solution that might work is to modify the actual DNS records to redirect specifically to "eviscerati.org/comics" . I have no idea how to do that, or if it's even possible (honestly I've only ever seen domain names point to ip addresses). I barely know how to modify .htaccess, and it usually requires my site go offline for hours while I figure out how to fix whatever it is I initially tried to do.

So for the moment all I can do is be annoyed. So I am annoyed. 3/fin

It's kind of fun to make up post election scenarios based upon the Democratic and Republican fear mongering.

Imagine a world of Nazis vs. pet eaters. Could the new Nazi Party stand up to the genocidal Zionists? Where would the army of pregnant trans Amazons come into play?

I'm predicting climate change for the loss.

How's this scenario sound? Trump wins and the Nazi Germany predictions come true. Soon the USA has occupied all the Americas and is fighting across both oceans. The massive effort has left few armed forces back home, and the Native Americans take their lands back.

Hitting the road for Buffalo soon. Come out to Gutter Pop comics tonight and see me present along with some great local cartoonists!

Voter suppression is going to be a huge thing this U.S. election cycle, and there's a critical need for observers in Georgia to help ensure that everyone has a chance to cast a ballot and have it counted.
