Banging on the walls chanting "OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR ACA THRU JAN 15" like some deranged town crier. Election results aside, you have options to access healthcare as a RIGHT through the ACA. NO one can dismantle the Affordable Care Act in less than 4 years, so SIGN UP! GET YOUR CARE! USE THE SYSTEM!
You have options RIGHT NOW that will be stable thru the next year, the one after that, and I'd be shocked to see them shrink even the year after that. That means RIGHT NOW you can get signed up for next year to gain 100% covered preventative care (your annual check ups, pap smears, dental cleaning, vision check). You have the option to get checked and screened as you need, do NOT be dissuaded from exploring ACA choices. They are SOLID, LEGISLATED, and WORK BEST WHEN PEOPLE USE THEM.
I can't change most things around me, BUT I CAN tell everyone I know that THEY CAN GET LIFE SAVING CARE. THEY CAN GET PRESCRIPTIONS. THEY CAN GET PREGNANCY CARE. THEY CAN GET CANCER CARE. AND THEY WILL GET THAT CARE!!!!!!
SIGN UP BY DECEMBER 15, 2024 FOR COVERAGE TO BEGIN ON JANUARY 1, 2025. ENROLLMENT AFTER 12/15/24 WILL HAVE COVERAGE BEGINNING FEBRUARY 1, 2025.

I saw some pictures of the real Rocky, as well as your portrait of him, and I wanted to draw him ever since! I bet he was a wonderful cat.
It's been a rough week, but his really brightened my day. Thank you so much! 💙💙

I've been looking though the art on your site (its very lovely by the way) and I saw the original illustration for Mitzi, Rocky, and Freckle. And Im very curious about why you decided to make it set in the 1920s. I guess Im wondering if you had a pre-disposition to that era or it just naturally came along! (I am very interested in that era for almost everything, and your lovely series has been great ;w; I am also very very thankful for the gallery on the site its so fun to just flip through!)
Ah, thanks for the kind words! Glad you've been enjoying the gallery. The period setting came about because of the house I moved into not long before starting on Lackadaisy as a comic. It was built around 1905. I got pretty interested in that and the history of the neighborhood, and then basically fell down a rabbit hole of St. Louis' past. The Lemps, the caves, and the effects Prohibition had on the city captured my imagination most. The aesthetics - fashion, art, and design styles - of the era were pretty enticing to me too. That, and I was listening to a lot of jazz and jazz-revival music at the time. It just culminated in a weird combination of cats, caves, and crimes in the 1920s.

The fact that you can’t raise taxes on billionaires even slightly without them pouring money into fascist political movements is, of itself, evidence that billionaires as a class shouldn’t be allowed to exist in the first place.

if u voted for trump, I mean this in the most disrespectful way possible, I do not want anything to do with you. Not only did you vote against basic human rights and equality, you decided rascism, homophobia, islamophobia, transphobia & misogynistic behavior wasn't a deal breaker. i do not want your follow or support ! thank you.

the idea that there’s enough online leftists to make her lose this badly is laughable tbh this is very obviously due to the most irritating people on the fucking planet: undecided centrist swing voters

This is a reminder to:
Never mention a possible pregnancy/abortion to anyone, especially not through a social media app messaging service such as messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, Snapchat, etc.
Delete all period tracking apps and to start tracking using a planner or physical calendar
Book appointments for a form of birth control if possible, or to always carry condoms for yourself and other
Look into sterilization options if that is the route you want to go down (here is a list of 1000 doctors willing to sterilize you without a fight)
Protect your fellow person, protect the women in your life, the queer people, the disabled people, everyone will be affected by this
Form communities. Tell your people that you love them. Protect one another. Check in on one another. None of us are alone.

Hi, everyone.
I’ve seen an incredible amount of despair and loss of hope from people today. Please take the time to grieve, and be angry, and feel drained, or whatever you must do… but please don’t give up on your life.
Human existence is so, so precious, and Every. Single. Person. is precious. I don’t want to lose anyone, not a friend, not an acquaintance, not a stranger. Do whatever you must to stay alive if need be. Play a video game. Scribble in a journal. Call that old friend. Scream in the backyard. Pet a cute animal. Reach out to someone. Anything, please just stay here.
Love you all, and please stay safe,
-Chip

With Trump looking on track to win, I just want to give some hope for people right now.
The Senate is Republican, but two years in the future a third of the Senate will be reelected, meaning Trump has at most 2 years to work with an agreeable Senate
Whether or not Trump goes through with project 2025 or not, this will most definitely be our last term with him
If he doesn't do what he promised, his voter base will get mad they didn't get what they voted for
If he does do what he promised, his voter base will get mad when they realise tariffs=higher costs and when their taxes don't decrease
People WILL protest in their states and nationally and either a) Trump listens or b) Trump ignores it and people become more disillusioned with him
There is no way Trump will do something that can't be reversible or managed by the later President
If Trump supporters do become disillusioned, we could see a blue midterm
1/2 of Congress is needed to pass a bill
Just take a breath. It isn't going to be great, but we can and will survive.

20 million votes have been uncounted
Link to this Tweet here
Link to the tweet here for the image above
Link to the White house
If you need further help in a quick format, here is one, but i urge you to also add in the details for requiring an investigation, not just recount.
I know its a shitty situation and were tired but we still have to try to fight for a life that's worth living.
If you can blaze this post, GO FOR IT!!!

Mordecai would hate me as I, too, eat KitKat just like that. Lol
If KitKat's had been around in the 1920s this 100% would have happened XD
