I'm in my 40s and I still watch cartoons. And not just the new ones. I'll happily watch
X-Men 97
Hazbin hotel
Danny phantom
Haunted hotel
Invincible
Family Guy
American Dad
Bluey (damn right)
Star Wars Clone Wars
Big Mouth

Because they're awesome and they make me happy and life is short. Seriously you should let people have nice things and let them do things that bring them joy.

That's it. That's the post. Cartoons forever!

Please fight this bill

BREAKING: Congress has scheduled a vote on the SAVE America Act, a bill that would restrict the freedom to vote for millions of Americans. This bill would require anyone registering or renewing their voter registration to show a passport or birth certificate AND “show their papers” when they vote. More than 21 million Americans have neither of these documents readily available — married women, rural voters, people of color and millions of others.

Here’s what you can do to stop this ugly attack on our democracy:

Contact your rep at 833-346-1779.

Show up at your Congress members’ town halls and offices and ask if they’re supporting this bill.

Spread the word about this harmful bill.

There’s no question: gender affirming care saves lives.

If you wouldn’t accept a trans or q***r child, you shouldn’t be a parent.

I think it's appropriate to call people in without calling them out (which obviously I've done a lot of), but Uppity Negress Redux nails it... Being welcomed back in decency and democracy requires accountability. You've gotta own you s**t and explain why.

This isn't a "whoopsie" this is a "I made a huge mistake and I promise to grow from this so I can be worthy of welcome"

You’re not automatically a safe person for leaving or regretting this choice.

This is just the beginning of a very, very long journey of unpacking your beliefs.

I won’t be holding your hand through it and neither will ppl harmed by your choices, however, if you’re sincere, I made something that may help.

I hereby promise that if you want a caricature, I'll happily draw you one. You don't need AI!! I've been a professional cartoonist on and off since I was eight.

Guys, I’d just rather see your effort than your A.I. That’s my hill.

Anyone else want to get this as a tattoo with me? Because these horrors are.... persistent. (And so are we).
