🩸 BEAST MEAT 🩸
very much considering getting this screenprinted as tees and tanks!
id: A bold, warm hued illustration of a rearing kirin in a heraldic pose, the negative space around it filled in a rich blue. Clawed, scaly forelimbs give way to hindlimbs of sharp hooves. Its dense, windswept mane contrasts a skeletal, antlered face, gaze locked with the viewer. Protruding between fangs, its forked tongue shifts to esophagus, stomach, and intestines coiled in its gut; all visible. Red stars frame the beast and lily of the valley grows by its feet. A rectangular yellow checkerboard pattern against a red backdrop further frames the artwork.

🍄 🐸 🌷 🥀 🐌 // poison garden // gouache on hot press paper
everything pictured in this piece is a poison: henbane in blue, belladonna in green, amanita muscaria in red, rosy bonnet in pink, lily of the valley, strawberry poison dart frogs, hickory tussock moth & caterpillar, ladybug. not the snails, though! they're just hanging.
[id: an illustrative gouache painting on a dark background. lush intertwined botanicals with textured blue and green leaves weave between red, white, and pink flowers. red frogs and ladybugs perch on stems, colorful pink and red mushrooms burst from the ground, and a moth hangs off a leaf. snails stroll quietly over the tops of mushrooms and along the ground. /end id]

SO#6: Power Outages Sweep County
[By Tammy Lynn O'Hanrahan, correspondent]
Many Scruggsdale residents are without power following last night’s thunderstorms, with the first outages reported around 10:00 PM and continuing on into the early morning. Most of the county has been effected, with interrupted or intermittent power reported as far west as Black Creek Road and as far south as the Bloody Bayou subdivision, including St. Enda’s Hospital and Newton Knight Elementary School.
Though it’s a ponderous process given the size of the effected area, recovery teams are hard at work getting everyone’s power back on, with some having braved the storm to roll out as soon as the first outages were reported. Those driving along Euronymous Boulevard early this morning likely spotted Scruggsdale resident and IBEW Local 420 electrician Jennifer O'Hanrahan perched atop a telephone pole to repair a blown transformer, her big green eyes narrowed in steely determination, her gorgeous strawberry blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail that whipped behind her in the wind, a smoldering cigarette clenched between her teeth as her strong hands deftly wielded tools the way a samurai warrior might wield a blade; strong, firm hands that can just as deftly caress a lover. An ancient goddess incarnated in human form but who could just as well have been chiseled from six feet of marble.
One Scruggsdale resident described Mrs. O'Hanrahan as “the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life” and “my wife who I love very much and who is probably the only person in this town besides my mom who still reads the local communist rag.”
Many have expressed frustration with the interruptions, with Scruggsdale resident Throckmorton O'Shaugnessy telling the Organizer that “I was in the middle of playin that damn Overwatch when the power gone out and I’m about pissed. Terry went and hooked up the generator right away but the damn Internet’s still out and I got them new smart light bulbs so fuck me I guess. What the hell I’m payin a power bill for, huh? I got ten pounds of ribeye steak in the deep freeze and Terry says we only got so much diesel to run the generator so y'all better get the damn power back on or somebody’s gonna hear about it. Goddamn.”
Oddly, work crews have reported that very few lines are down, attributing the outages to a power surge originating from the National Guard armory out past the old paper mill by the cypress dome. The Organizer reached out to the base commander, Mississippi National Guard colonel Donnie O'Donovan, for comment. Colonel O'Donovan at first expressed confusion, attributing the outages to the night’s thunderstorms, but when this reporter mentioned the utility workers’ findings outlined above, he responded with a very long and creative stream of cuss words and informed the Organizer that there were no power outages and that reporting on non-existent power outages would be a violation of national security. This reporter reminded the colonel that the Organizer is an independent media outlet with a standing policy to disregard gag orders, and he concluded his remarks by dramatically sighing before stating, “Aw, hell. I’m gonna hear about this one for sure.”
In other news, local sportsmen have reported that the fishing is especially good this spring, as catfish in the cypress dome seem to be heading for shallow water, as if fleeing the center of the lake. The Scruggsdale Fish And Wildlife office stated early this morning, “Don’t worry about that. That’s normal. Totally normal. Yup.”
This has been Tammy Lynn O'Hanrahan, reporting.

anyway i won't tell you how to vote in november but if you're campaigning for joe biden before he calls for a ceasefire you are campaigning for genocide and your sanctimonious "i don't like the genocide" remarks are unnecessary and do not absolve you of this. pressure him for a ceasefire before you have the nerve to list his accomplishments for your healthcare and your trains and your taxes. the blood isn't even dry yet. people are starving. you are all so fucking shameless, so fucking cowardly, and so intellectually dishonest in the name of your harm reduction. you do not believe in harm reduction—you believe in self-preservation. and i know that when i see your "we need a president we can pressure" comments—are you pressuring him right now? is there any evidence of pressure that works when he is hellbent on breaking international law? somehow you not only have less of a backbone than beto o'rourke, but you are even less convincing.
the only reason people are rushing to reblog your little liberal absolutions for bombs and starvation is because they, too, are desperate for self-preservation. the nerve of acting like you are all sucking it up and making a decision you don't want to make, the nerve of the "i hate them both too!" "i don't like either of them too!" when you are all just desperate to keep yourselves safe and very desperately convincing everyone else to keep you safe as well, as though people are trying to throw you under the bus instead of trying as desperately as they can to save the lives of people currently starving to death while you campaign for their exterminator
