"It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd."

For Your 0wn Safety and Protection


In response to the recent flooding
of the poetry trade with cheap, inferior verse,
heavy tariffs have been imposed
on this poem.


As a result, it is unlikely
this poem will be read by anyone
outside my domestic market -
or as I like to call her, my cat.


Such news will come as a relief
to the thousands of people
who have already found my poetry
to be taxing enough,


and lends further credence
to those literary critics
who consider my work to be
of little import.

Includes Nausicaä on glider, Totoro with red bridge, Howl's castle, Laputa robot, and multiple minifigures. Buildings with traditional Japanese architecture connected by paths create a cohesive village atmosphere against a teal background.

A girl in a blue shirt smiles amidst symbols like a rainbow, smiling flowers, a sunflower, and an infinity loop. Reflective text reads, “12 y.o. me, who knew she was different, but wouldn’t know why until 30 years later... Happy Autism Awareness Day.” The mood is celebratory and contemplative.

A standalone illustration, showing the Silver surfer taking up the bulk of the panel and shooting an energy beam out of his left fist. Behind him, Kirby Krackling swirls of energy appear in space (along with planets or moons, a black circle that may be a planet or anti-sun, and some sort of glowing concentric circles. The figure of the watcher, looking displeased, takes up the left side of the background.

A middle aged man with long brown hair and goatee stands in front of Union Station in Denver, a train station with a neoclassical design of off-white stone and rounded arches. The man wears dark blue jeans and a black t-shirt bearing the symbols of a rose and a broken chain. In a gothic font, the shirt reads “Protect trans folks”

A black woman stands in the foreground in the front right. She is wearing what looks like a schoolgirl's black skirt, white shirt, and black tie, with two homemade giant cardboard chainsaw blades tie the light of her arms sticking out in front of her. On her head is a sort of helmet, with another chainsaw blade on it. The blades are fleked with red blood.She's in a nice, suburban-looking living room, with her a possible sibling in the background, and her mom sitting on the couch, both staring at the camera
