Hello. Have you made a #capitalist uncomfortable?

Welcome to being a #terrorist in #America. A mom made a website tracking money flowing to the armed thugs shooting people. To #DHS, that is “anarchist extremism”, according to a secret intelligence bulletin DHS sent to local and federal law enforcement in February, targeting Berlin’s website. The nationwide alert was issued by the #Philadelphia PD; make it make sense.

DHS used the same alert for Berlin’s website as for domestic terrorists. In the past, DHS has used code HSEC SIN 8, (Homeland Security Standing Information Need 😄 to flag information on ISIS beheading videos and pipe bombs in cities.

Edit: editing.

A mom's website shows who profits from ICE. Why Feds call it a 'threat'

A Texas stay-at-home mom created a website showing companies profiting from ICE. It led to hundreds of protests. Feds called the site a "national threat."

The great thing about cats is that, you can be a little annoying to them and they don't mind, because being obnoxious is part of their culture.
Bothering™ is just an expression of affection. Observe any two cats who are Friends™ and you will see them engage in Bothering Activities™

I was inspired recently after someone asked me about why I didn’t have an Instagram, to make a four page comic on why. I'm not going back to Instagram.

Maybe I can just hand this out if people ask me now.
#Comic #Autobio

4 media files

"Do You Have an Instagram by Jey Pawlik" comic page 1. The comic is black and white with halftones. While at an event with a lot of folks milling around, Jey talks with another person. The two were talking before the comic began and the person says "~ oh cool! You do comics?" Jey happily responds "Yeah, I even have books!" The person asks "Do you have an Instagram?" This surprises Jey, and their smile leaves their face as they reply "Uh, no. I don't. Sorry." The person looks worried and says "Wha-- Why not?!" Jey shrugs it off and says "It's a long story." The person is curious and asks "What happened?" Narration over a black background: "Sometimes a decade's worth of posts, art, followers and comments are just taken right from under you without notice."

"Do You Have an Instagram by Jey Pawlik" comic page 2. The comic is black and white with halftones. A black panel with white text. Narration: And you lose all trust in platforms, because YOU don't own anything. Jey and Max get home with suitcases in hand and look well rested. Jey says "We're back!" and Max says "Two weeks without internet was heaven!" Jey laughs as they sit at their computer and say "Gotta see how many emails I gotta sift through! haha" The panel turns dark as Jey looks more closely at their computer screen. An email from Instagram has appeared and reads: Instagram Take action or lose access to jeypawlik Hi jeypawlik, Your account has been suspended. This is because your account, or activity on it, does not follow our Terms of Use. If you think this was a mistake, you have until December 19, 2023 to appeal.

"Do You Have an Instagram by Jey Pawlik" comic page 3. The comic is black and white with halftones. Jey is holding their head, terrified they say "How? What?! This has to be a mistake!" From Instragram: Reason: Automated Bot-Like Behavior Jey's hands start falling down their cheeks as they read the reasoning. They say "My account wasn't hacked. My activity is clean." A big "Appeal" button appears above Jey and their mouse clicks on it. They nervously look at their computer screen saying "It's just a mistake, right?" The Instagram appeal form reads: Provide your Personal Info: Full Name Instagram username Registered email address Attach Identification: For individual accounts, take a clear photo of yourself holding a handwritten sign with your full name and Instagram username. At the bottom is a "Submit" button. Jey looks tired and frustrated as they take a selfie with the info Instagram asked for. A new email comes in from Instagram that reads: Hi jeypawlik, We reviewed your account and found that it still doesn't follow our Terms of Use. As a result, your account has been permanently disabled. Learn how our Terms of Use help keep the Instagram community an authentic and respectful place for people to express themselves. Jey is in utter shock as the words "PERMANENTLY DISABLED" are huge an intimidating behind them.

"Do You Have an Instagram by Jey Pawlik" comic page 4. The comic is black and white with halftones. Jey is angry and throwing their hands down as they exclaim "But I did everything they asked!" They explode, raising their hands above them in rage. They say "Bot-like behaviour?! How could a bot give a selfie with my name and handle?!" Note: this story takes place before AI was a thing. Jey, at their computer, shows the meta-suite on their screen and says "All I did was use their stupid META suite to schedule posts" a note above the screen reads "THEY MADE THIS!" Jey collapses onto the ground and their spouse rubs their back. Jey, defeated, says "I hate social media." Time passes with a large gap between panels. Jey is at another gathering, much like the one on the first page and is chatting with someone. The person asks "Oh cool! You do comics? Do you have an Instagram?" Jey grins and has a new response, saying "No, but you should check out my website instead 'cause I actually own it! And have you heard about RSS?"

Book 24 was Black Trans Feminism by Marquis Bey.

The author argues that to be feminist requires one to be pro-Black and pro-trans (and all the vices versa).

Targeted more to academic readers rather than casual readers.

Tip for students (and anyone else): If anyone needs to squint to read the text on the presentation, the font is too small, and you probably have too much text on the slide.

In just 64 days, the American people has the unique chance to elect a different Senate and a different House, that will end the orange clown show.

It is time to — for real — make America great again.
