This is poster-worthy.  Amazing.  Perfect.

--after Giovanni Battista Gaulli’s ‘The Sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham’

The Lamb is ballpoint pen.  Everything else is black color pencil.

After it was finished I matted & framed it and gave it as a gift to Freddy, the guy I’ve been falling in love with for months.

I picked a hell of a time to come out of the closet.  I’m very nervous.  But there’s nothing healthy about hiding who I am.  It actually was very damaging, and to some extent made me crazier than I ordinarily am.

So it’s frightening, admitting that I want this kind, generous, beautiful, fascinating man.  I know my male co-workers will look at me differently.  Some already are.  But that’s life.  I am who I’ve always been: I’m just trying to live a whole, integrated existence for the first time in my adult life, no dim corners to hide my soul in.

Dear President Pisspig:

Why does New York think you’re such a tangerine creep?

Dear President Pisspig:

When you are far from me, in your tacky castle, sucking the patties out of big macs;

When it is 3am and the klonopin has run out and your ochre thumbs are all a-twiddle;

Know that I revere your asshole as part of the grand ineffable.

Seriously.  Wouldn’t touch it with a footlong strapon.

Dear President Pisspig:

Those pearly penile papules look like a clownfish could be hiding in them.

Dear President Pisspig:

Recently I had my heart-- not broken so much as eroded.  Perhaps you can commiserate.

Dear President Pisspig:

You seem like you’re having a weird year.  Can I help?

[ratfuckee-blog]

Dear President Pisspig:

I have not written you in some time, and am contrite.  How fare you, lover?

Increasingly

find myself thinking that if/when a fissure forms in the Union, it’s going to run right through the Carolinas.

WHO GIVES A SHIT IF

Russia hacked our election?  We have to deal with the shitbirds in office regardless.  FOCUS ON YOUR GODDAMN MISSION, WET THE BED LATER

Trump twitters?  Trump’s twitter feed is garbage.  Facts.  Evidence.  Make the case that the dipshit can’t take office.  That’s your job.  QUIT CHASING THE DANGLY STRING AND HUNT YOU USELESS HYSTERICAL DINGBATS

Climate deniers deny climate?  ROADBLOCK THE DUMBASSES AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY, MAKE THESE SCUM RUE THEIR INSATIABLE GREED

Rich hypocrites want to control our sex lives?  Stop being on the defensive about human rights.  We own our bodies.  The government doesn’t.  CRIMINALIZE VIAGRA, DENY SENATORS THEIR GODLESS BONERS

Warren Craghead’s drawings + pencils

I think line for line Warren Craghead (@wcraghead on Twitter and Instagram) is drawing some of my favorite drawings right now.

From his interview with the Comics Journal:

I have very little time to draw between my day job and my family and I think that has made my work move more towards being integrated into my life more. I’ll draw a lot while doing other things (eating, playing with kids, driving) and that ends up being used in work I make.

I tweeted that I’d love to know what he uses to get such a variety of line quality and he tweeted back the pencils in his pocket and this note: “It’s all pencils, soft, hard, big , small. Plus drawing surfaces, soft, hard… Lot’s of erasing and smearing too.”

What I see in his work is an eye really looking, and a hand really exploring, and a family man stealing whatever time to draw that he can (he draws a lot while watching TV—stuff like news reports and even Gossip Girl). Quite the inspiration. Check him out.

VP Elect Mike Pence cosponsored a bill that would have essentially redefined rape, prohibiting federal funds from paying for abortion except in cases of ‘forcible rape,’ and a bill that would allow hospitals to deny abortions to pregnant women who would die without the care.” In March, Pence signed a bill into law requiring burial or cremation for aborted fetuses.

Warren Craghead’s style kills.

Big fan of his use of negative space, too.

Logged in.  Top two “recommended” tumblrs on the right were propagating racial hatred & misogyny.

How is this acceptable?

Megyn Kelly On Trump And The Media: 'We're In A Dangerous Phase Right Now'

The Fox News host tells Fresh Air that she worries about Trump's "de-legitimization" of the media. "Too many millions of Americans aren't listening at all to what the press tells them," Kelly says.

Trump advisor Steve Bannon: “That’s why there are some unintended consequences of the women’s liberation movement. That, in fact, the women that would lead this country would be pro-family, they would have husbands, they would love their children. They wouldn’t be a bunch of dykes that came from the Seven Sisters schools up in New England.”
