Yes! John Brown and Jayhawks stole from slave owners.

If you thought it was OK to steal Black people from Africa and keep them as slaves? Then they thought it was OK to steal them from you and set them free, and to steal all your other stuff and keep it.

If you didn't like it? They took you out.

I'm cleaned out and I need to buy groceries and pay two bills this week.

If anyone could contribute to my fundraising it would be a huge help!

Thank you 🙏🏽❤️

‘We Are Not Expendable’: Southaven Residents Fight xAI Plan for 41 Gas Turbines to Power Musk's Grok Many residents around Southaven, Mississippi, oppose xAI’s data centers and presence in their backyards, fearing for their health and environment.

"This is not an inconvenience—this is a health crisis inside my own home,” said Chestela Farmer, a Southaven resident and mother who lives in the neighborhood next to the xAI plant.

“No parents should have to watch their child struggle to breathe and wonder if the air around them is the cause.”

This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food

Some people still gotta have my Gotta Have My Batman.

They drew those bricks on the animation cel which means Kool-Aid Man will probably show up later.

There's this joke, where a kid learns a forbidden word, a word that is so obscene just saying it escalates punishments. And the kid doesn't know what it means, and in order to learn, he keeps having to say it in order to ask, but each time he gets passed up to a higher authority with no explanation

My wife: I broke the Ninja.

Me: Warriors have attempted such a feat for a thousand years, and a housewife has done it in an afternoon.

my culture is not your costume

A clip studio pressure curve graph

This is very specific but it might help other cartoonists. I came up with a pressure curve for Clip Studio on the iPad which makes it easier to go backwards and forwards (especially inking) from your desktop Cintiq setup. No blowouts on iPad strokes at what would be normal pressure on the Cintiq.

SPOILERS:

I just, it should have just been called "17 Kids!" Don't try to make it deep. The punchline is 17 kids get to rip a witch apart in a yard, and the rest is just setup for the bus. And it worked. We were howling on the couch. Ecstatic. The performances were good, can it land again? Doubtful

But, if you tell it well, it's a fucking riot. I once told this joke for 45 minutes on a car ride and it was probably the height of my comedic prowess. You can't really tell the joke again. Not in front of anyone who's heard it, and not in front of someone who told you. That's the movie "Weapons".

Eventually he is incarcerated and after serving his time, he is released, and meets up with the person who said the word to him, and just as they are about to reveal the meaning the revealer is hit by a bus. It's not a joke for the hearer, it is for the teller. You've wasted their time.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

for anyone waiting in the wings to point out the privilege of attending university

imagine if you will

a society

WHERE UNIVERSITY IS FREE AND ANYONE CAN GO
