#resist #FuckTheHatriarchy

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general.

If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Every janitor I've met literally gives no fucks if trans people are using the bathroom. They just want people to clean up after themselves and flush.

I live in Texas

Talking to people here makes me wanna eat my hair

Yes, this is a cult. Yes, this isn't okay. However can we look at the irony (or possibly intentional) of the design here? Why does he have the likeness of a "dictator for life" that lived 2000 years ago? One that became a novelty pencil holder because of how be died? One that is a mascot for pizza?

The part that really rings true for me as a comic creator is:

“A sentence should contain no unnecessary words”

I am famously verbose among my IRL friends, and it’s a daily struggle to work w/ the constraints of what words will fit in speech bubbles. But being concise has made me a better writer.

Either way, the choice comes down to this. Do you become who others want you to be, or do you embrace who you know you truly are?

I wrote this because were at a time in history, again, where we all have to make this same choice, right now. 8/8 #resist

If she stands apart, as many might choose, she still loses something precious, the people who shaped her life, who live in her memories, but for the sake of remaining true to herself. 7/8 #resist

If she betrays herself by raising her hand, she loses a piece of her soul, rejecting her own identity just to belong. 6/8 #resist

For those who may not understand the deeper meaning. This choice forces us to confront where we truly stand. 5/8 #resist

Now she faces a choice: raise her hand in betrayal of herself, or extend it in solidarity with her people. Which path would you choose when acceptance comes at the cost of your soul? 4/8 #resist

When confronted, they dismissed her fears nothing bad would happen to her specifically. She was different, they assured her. Not like the "majority" they despised. She could still belong, if only she'd raise her hand too. If only she'd join in condemning people just like herself. 3/8 #resist

Now she couldn't fathom how they envisioned a future without people like her.
One gesture became the ultimate betrayal. How could she return from this? How could she ever sit at their table again, breaking bread with those who celebrated her kind's demise? 2/8 #resist

She stood frozen, watching them chant. These were people she had considered her inner circle, her friends and family, now thrusting their hands skyward in unity against everything she was. Moments before, she couldn't imagine a future without them. 1/8 #resist

Questions I want to learn before I die.
1. How do societies validate different forms of knowledge?
2. What determines which scientific ideas gain acceptance?
3. How do cultural beliefs influence scientific understanding?

My #BrainInABucketList
Questions I want to learn before I die.
1. What is the nature of consciousness and how does it relate to human culture?
2. How do societies find the balance between individual freedom and collective good?
3. What is the relationship between morality and cultural relativism?

the rage I felt reading this as the parent of a disabled 14yo

This is the way…

“The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.”

With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

True, but somtimes the wind echos.

Neck has shaggy beard of gray feathers. Large yellow bill is open with small, gray tadpole in mid air about to be caught.

The official US Army account is now reposting ‘Libs of TikTok’.

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly.

Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences.

The public must turn on this madness and soon.

A screenshot from Twitter. The original tweet reads: "Rapper Kenderick Lamar wore size 29 women's jeans to Super Bowl LIX." The tweet garnered over a thousand replies, most negative. I (Derek Guy) screenshotted that tweet and wrote: "so funny to see history repeat itself. men who wear slim fit and stretch denim—both of which were once considered strictly for women—criticizing kendrick for wearing flares bc they were on the women's aisle. in ten years, you'll be in flares clutching pearls about something else" Then another user replied to my tweet, saying: "Wearing women’s clothes has never been in style, homo."

Not true. I'll give you some examples of when styles crossed over from womenswear to menswear, and how men have worn straight-up womenswear or just feminine styles in cool ways. 🧵

I have to pace myself with news & one way of avoiding randomly descending into rabbit holes of stress-inducing internet material is listening to full albums on CD.

Physical media is still delightful in part because they can’t wedge new medication commercials into my classic BB King records.
