Casual reminder that The Washington Post is owned by Nash Holdings, which is controlled by good ol’ Jeffery Bezos.

Was going to keep this in the tags BUT I think it’s important people understand that sturgeon caviar is only a luxury in the first place because of colonization. Anishanabae and other Great Lakes area tribes (and I’m sure more I’m just speaking where I am from) have been fishing Sturgeon for literally thousands of years. Besides consuming the fish eggs and meat we also made glue from its bladder, bags from its skin and used the oil from the fish as well. Sturgeon is important to many of our tribes traditionally and spiritually. So much so we even have Clans in honor of the Sturgeon. Than European settler-colonizers showed up and like they decimated Buffalo populations to starve Natives they did similarly with Sturgeon. When they pushed our people onto reservations they also created laws and legislation to keep us from fishing and hunting in our own ancestral lands. Than they built fisheries and Damns, destroying habitats and overfishing sturgeon to near extinction.

a lot of people in the notes are saying “this is the opposite of what happened with Lobster” so I wanted to point out that no it is actually exactly what happened to lobster.

the liberal reaction to the war in ukraine is honestly kind of jokerifying because these people have just ceased to live in reality. whenever anyone in the vague vicinity of the political mainstream acknowledges the patently obvious ‘there needs to be a negotiated end to this war’ they get treated like they just advocated for a policy of eating babies

[guy who doesn’t live in ukraine voice] we CANNOT advocate a biltaral peace treaty! the world should simply continue throwing ukrainian lives into a meat grinder for the next several years out of principle instead of seeking a diplomatic resolution! doing otherwise would be LETTING FASCISM WIN

everyone replying to this with ‘russia would never accept a peace because the russian state is ontologically evil and irrational and cannot be reasoned with'—you are living in a fantasy world. i feel bad for them honestly because it must be terrifying to be opposed on principle to understanding why bad things happen

I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023

I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.
