Daffodil has returned.

Daffodil the dragon is camera-shy.

Daffodil the dragon has been paying attention to the news coming from Florida. She reads the news, and smoke rings rise from her nostrils.

Governor Little Adolf dePsycho isn’t satisfied with destroying education in his state of Florida. Yes, he is gloating because thanks to him, teachers can’t teach diversity, Black history, or LGBTQIA+ history without getting fired and can’t even have books on such topics in their classrooms. He’s also gloating because school libraries can’t have any such books in his shitstates. He’s even influenced the Board of Education and has banned Black history from AP classes. A Florida teacher merely took a photo of his empty bookshelves and posted it on social media… and next thing you know, he’s fired. Queer teachers in Florida are advised not to have photos of their families on their desks — not if they want to keep their jobs. Fascist lawmakers in other shitstates are feeling emboldened by Governor dePyscho and are aping him, attempting to pass similar laws.

But Governor dePyscho keeps coming up with more fascist laws. He can’t punch down enough at people who aren’t cishet white male Christians.

He doesn’t intend to stop with Florida. He wants to become president of the United States and do the same sadistic, fascist fuckery across the country that he’s…
