Something I think about a lot is how every single person reading this can frame at least one mass shooting, often more than one, in relation to everyday occurrences in their own lives. For me, it's been a few shootings at malls and other public places I visit often, but the one that *really* threw me was the Dayton shooter used to follow me and like my tweets on this here hellsite. I was familiar with his Hunter S. Thompson avatar and everything.

I'm fielding some questions so let's do a quick update on the Rachel Peng series: The first four books in the series are available now! These are set in the OACET universe, and follow Rachel Peng, the first cyborg liaison to the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police.

Me: Okay. So. You know how sometimes I say something on Twitter and it starts rolling and then things get weird?

Brown: … how weird is this going to get?

Me: No, no, baby, it started weird and you get to see where it ended.

Brown: Jesus. Me: A few weeks back, @UrsulaV asked Lawyer Twitter what happens when cops search your bag and you’ve preemptively filled it with dildos.

Brown: Like ya do.

Me: So I tweeted out that my cop-trolling dildo fund was in my Twitter bio.

Brown: Does this end with you in jail?

It's the end of the month! If you're looking for ways to support independent creators, please consider hiring me or my creative partner @AlePresser, purchasing some of the many weird things we make, or tossing a few bucks our way. The easiest way to support us is through Patreon! We're starting a new comic at the beginning of July and freaking out about this quite a lot tbh.

Reminder that early protests in America could include dismantling the houses of unpopular public figures, brick by brick, into tidy piles. I'm just saying that if they insist on being originalists, they've set the ground rules.

A very fast story about COVID and everybody trying to do right in circumstances which are weird and wild and impossible.

Hypothetically, let's pretend someone in this purely fictional household works for the state of North Carolina. Let's say that the married couple in this hypothetical household has been hypervigilant about COVID protocols from early 2020 through now.

And, of course, right around Christmas, our imaginary couple felt like absolute balls.

Looks like I'm doing another #ImpeachmentSnax daily news dump, this one about the Jan 6 insurrection. Mute this thread if you don't want to deal with politics, news, and/or absolute nonsense.

I'll do this using the same format as the other #ImpeachmentSnax threads with evening roundups of the big news highlights from that day. So please remember the following:

Good morning! And if you're reading the IPCC report...well, good morning anyhow.

A lot of people will be shouting about personal responsibility and corporate carbon burdens and government interventions and...and...and...

And I'm going to talk about moss. Moss is great! Did you know that peatlands (wetland bogs) are immense carbon sinks?

Petition to replace all current government policymakers with a bunch of women in their late 60s who have seen it all and are sick of your shit. Woke up mad at how Biden is handling the current outbreak, then remembered the previous dude openly wondered about injecting bleach at a live presser.

We now have an effective model for comparison and it's not doing us any real good.

DC's PR department: "No no no no, it's not that Batman won't go down on Catwoman because he's a selfish lover. It's because he's a selfish billionaire."

Angry mob: "Okay that checks out." Kinda sorry for everyone who isn't part of Comics Twitter as that tweet just bonked y'all right on the nose without warning.

First WH press briefing after the Asia trip. Sarah HS opens with a joke. Place air quotes where you will. SHS is thrilled with the tax cuts and says that Trump has no opinions on Roy Moore, unless the allegations are proven to be true, in which case Moore should step aside.

Reporter: How will allegations be proven?

SHS: Meh. Witches float, right?
