To expand a bit for those of you who haven’t concerned themselves with the goings-on of congress, Republicans have attempted to repeal all or part of the ACA over sixty times. Almost every they were blocked by a coalition of Democrats, but even then one attempt managed to slip through and end up on the President’s desk. If this happens with Trump as president, the ACA is gone. My access to healthcare disappears completely, my right to be treated with dignity and respect is stripped away, and I lose access to medication that is quite literally life-saving, all because I happen to be transgender and poor. The point I am trying to make is: Republicans want me dead. This is established fact. They will try their damnedest to make sure I am degraded and spat upon, make my life a living hell where I am not even allowed to use the restroom, and generally stoke fears about ulterior motives so as to convince a gullible rube into violence against me. All of this action done in the hopes that I cease to exist, be that through murder or suicide. We have seen this in North Carolina with the “bathroom bill” which strips cities of LGBTQ protections. Six other state legislatures controlled by Republicans tried to follow in NC’s footsteps, but were stopped because of community backlash. I need you to amplify that backlash. I need you to strike back at the Republican genocide of minorities and mogai. I need you to fight for those of us who can’t. I need you to vote Hillary and Democratic all the way down the ballot. If you haven’t already voted early, please I beg of you go vote tomorrow. I need your help, and I am scared shitless that you will refuse.

American followers of voting age - on behalf of my friend whose life was saved by Obamacare, and my friends whose continued access to healthcare depends on it, and my friends who depend on benefits, and for my younger self who got by on food stamps, and my not-so-younger self who got by on unemployment insurance, and essentially everyone who would be fucked if we gave in and let ourselves follow the UK’s lead in how we treat people who need help, I’m gonna ask you to vote tomorrow if you haven’t already, and I’m gonna ask you to vote the straight democratic ticket top to bottom, barring any particularly odious assholes if any should happen to be blighting your district.

This is an act with real consequences.  Policy decisions affect lives, and sometimes end them.  Please vote for the viable party that will acknowledge that global warming exists.  Please vote for the viable party that will acknowledge that trans people have a right to exist.  Please vote for the viable party that you want picking the supreme court justice who’s going to sit and make these macro-level decisions for the next few decades.  Do it even if it’s a hardship, even if you have to wait in line, even if it doesn’t match up with how you think things ought to be.  Here and now, there are lives to be saved and work to be done.

That’s today.  I will be back to talking about hella cartoons tomorrow, and we can start planning the revolution again on Wednesday, or whenever is good for you.

Easy To Spot In The Field By Their Long Limbs And Generally Self-conscious Demeanour, Gangly Blue Herons

Easy to spot in the field by their long limbs and generally self-conscious demeanour, Gangly Blue Herons tower over their multitudinous cousins. Exploited by other ornithoids for their remarkable reach, these elongated birds are often consumed by body image issues as their daily lives rarely bring them into regular contact with other birds of similar stature. This lack of representation engrains a warped standard of beauty, making it much more difficult for these birds to love their own bodies.

What is the best, overall, species of bird to be devoured by? Which one is the worst?

How have I wronged you? What grave offense slip’d from my hands to cause such retaliation? This is obscenity pure and simple and I have had enough of this punishment, Bird Vore Anon, there is no inadvertent insult which warrants such simply vile villainry as these questions you cast upon me like so much rotted produce.That said, there is no such thing as a good bird devourment, They are all heinous in equally horrifying ways. For an example, please watch this clip from the 1963 smash-hit docudrama The Birds:

Even though nobody is consumed on-camera, you can get a small sense of the visceral panic that comes from an all-out attack and I can assure you when they get down to feeding the fear will be no less palpable be the bird a Gull or a Kiwifruit Bird or an Eagle of some sort. The only difference is how many of the species will be required to effect your demise and you can consider it a guarantee that one large and furious Emu and thirteen thousand irate Hummingbirds will inspire the same terror.

Of Great Interest To Scientists Studying Quantum Phenomena, Horses Are One Of Eight Known Multidimensional

Of great interest to scientists studying quantum phenomena, Horses are one of eight known multidimensional “keystone” species extant across the explored multiverse. Unlike most fauna whose multiplanar existences branch as they age, Horses begin their lives simultaneously existing across nearly infinite timelines which gradually collapse into a single life-line or “trunk”. Early research suggests this ‘backwards’ tree-of-life to be an evolutionary counter to their otherwise astonishing fragility; by starting at a massive existence advantage these quantum-entangled Equidae are better able to weather their nearly constant murder on the extradimensional level. Unfortunately, this has the knock-on effect of every Horse having total awareness of their thousand daily deaths. This is why a Horse may suddenly startle at a discarded shopping bag or refuse to enter a trailer for transport; in a close worldline that Horse was consumed by a carnivorous Land-jellyfish or maliciously led into the maw of a Deathslug worshiped by the local human-analogue.
