con café new chapter dropped and it is absolutely unreal bonkers

A typical conservative "joke" reply: Oh, so that's what this Matt fellow was jumping up and down for. I thought he was flipping out because a black non-binary genderfluid person showed up holding a pride flag and wearing xe/xir pronouns on xir belt.

You'll never look at right wingers the same once you realize they signal values to each other by listing off things they hate. It's why their bios are just rants and they can't tell a joke without succumbing to making lists. They use buzzwords to close deltas where character is supposed to be.

people like to say star trek is scifi and star wars is fantasy, but there's at least one way in which star trek is more fantasy than star wars: UI design.

star wars at least understands that you don't fly a spaceship with touchscreens and voice commands

feels like we're living through some kind of cultural gas leak

if transgender for everybody is a consequence of shutting down the government, that’s a deal i’ll have to take

Panel 1: A hand extends a single red brick toward the character. The character looks surprised and slightly sad as they reach out to take it. Text: “It’s hard for people to understand why small comments can make me so emotional,” Behind the character, there’s already a small pile of red bricks on the ground. Panel 2: The character now holds the brick close to their chest, looking down with a pained expression. The pile of red bricks behind them has grown into a large heap, stretching far into the background. Text: “because they can’t see how many times I’ve been criticized for the same thing, over and over again.”

When the reward for growing up with so much criticism is hearing „You’re just too sensitive!

comic cover!!! featuring the main character, Dina, looking nervous and sweaty. She’s a young woman in an ill-fitting work shirt and pencil skirt with her dark hair tied up in a bun and bangs pinned with a dog-shaped clip. Some sort of ominous shadow looms over her. Text reads: FELT BAD, MET GOD by molly kate young (aka longfusilli) (aka ME!!!!)

hiiiii here’s a comic i made about having a job and being overwhelmed (1/7)

THE MEME IS REAL

Painting of a boar in a sweater with a mushroom basket, holding and smelling a mushroom.

Day 27 of #septempera - the connoisseur.

Firing up the technicolor plant again so that the most talented director possible can make a movie where the main character drives a combine harvester through a nazi rally.

One Battle After Another and Sinners both lay out a formula for cinema success: diverse movies where white nationalists get duffed in the most graphic way possible shot and presented in increasingly baroque high resolution formats.

I forgot to mention, I assume someone eventually realized that having a journalist inside for hours observing them was less than ideal so they taped bags up over every window in our cell so we couldn’t see out. At least not as well anyway, there are always gaps.

I’m out, I'm sore. I'll have more later, but right now I have to say a couple of things. First, walking out of there to learn about the kindness, support, and quick action from so many of you all has meant the world to me, my wife, and co-founder, Raven. Thank you.

“welcome to womanhood”

thanks, i’ve been here. where were you?

errant

fun fact: drayage drivers, the people who pick up containers from ships and trains, are overwhelmingly immigrants

this would basically make it straight up impossible to move anything in a container in this country

Raven shot in the face.

Took fire to the face. ICE definitely isn’t aiming at ground and firing at people’s heads again.

every time a driver runs a stop sign or doesn't check a blind spot or punish passes, and nearly maims me with their weaponized incompetence, i know with certainty that they are shaking their fist about all of these damn cyclists on the road who need to get out of their way.

car brain is a sickness.

the fun thing about cycling is that if you Follow The Law™ when you are forced to ride with cars, it will probably get you killed by some inattentive driver, but if you ride in a way that is safe for you, you get branded as reckless by news org hit pieces and threatened by aggressive drivers instead

What's your secret to being online all the time without contracting computer madness? For me it's being pure of heart
