Calvin and Hobbes Cartoon. Calvin is fulminating, in the middle of an epic rant, thumping his left fist in his right palm in the first image while frowning so hard you can't see his pupils. In the next he is opening his eyes wide, eyebrows in his hairline, his shoulders up, arms outstretched inviting you into his anger. In the third he is shouting so loudly his eyes are scrunched up in the effort and his open mouth takes up two thirds of his face. His left fist is in the air, while his right hand is daintily held against his chest in a gesture of indignation. What is body language is drawing you in on is the following monologue / rant: We don't value craftsmanship anymore! All we value is ruthless efficiency, and I say we deny our own humanity that way! Without any appreciation for grace and beauty, there's no pleasure in creating things and no pleasure in having them! Our lives are made drearier, rather than richer! How can a person take pride in his work when skill and care are considered luxuries! We're not machines! We have a human need for craftsmanship!

Someone really should check in on Bill Watterson.

Okay, so it’s not just me. Good to know!

I guess there may be uses in something like medicine or physics, but the vast majority of uses is just lazy useless garbage.

I blame Jeff Winger for all of this. Why didn’t you just pick up the dn Pizza Jeff?! #community #worsttimeline #blamejeff

RIP Michelle Trachtenberg. What a gut punch.

100k may not be ‘rich’, but it’s pretty damn comfortable. Anyone who says otherwise hasn’t had to get by on even half that. The majority of Americans make less than 100k and most of those make even less.

lol. If you go into most older churches you will find just about everything has a little plaque with someone’s name on it.

I know so little about Mormon theology - but I would love to know its influences on ‘Fablehaven’ because I really liked those books. Same with Sanderson books though I already knew he was a Mormon.

I’ve finally finished the building part of this giant project I have been working on. #ceramics #sculpture #mountain

I have a kitty named Ziggy Stardust too! He’s a big fuzzbutt!

Give this playlist a listen: The Resistance - what is your favorite resistance/political rage song? What should I add? #politicalrage #theresistance #singaboutit #playlist

Sometimes, in my darkest hours, I hope the leopards do eat their faces. I’m not proud of it, but there it is. #secretdesire #sorry

My animals are the main reason why I don’t want to go back in time and change my many mistakes. I would never have ended up finding them if I hadn’t gone where my bad choices led me to.

I really liked this movie. I know it is about trans identity, but felt it could be applied more broadly to the masking so many people who feel alienated from society.

Existence sounds fake. But here we are.

Women RUN!
House Resolution 7: because apparently, the GOP thinks women need a permission slip from their husbands, dads, or priests just to make basic healthcare decisions. Want birth control? Miscarriage care? IVF? Sorry, ladies—better check in with Father Patriarchy first.

Sometimes even I am bemused by my search history.
