Just throwing out the entire underlying concept of the humanities

AGAB language went wrong when it drifted rhetorically from describing a social process ("I was assigned male at birth") to describing a quality of a person ("I am AMAB").

Me looking at the thumbnail: “this is about methods of rationality, isn’t it?”

Me reading your skeet: “yup, got it in one”

Uggggh

To be fair, we are an existential threat… to patriarchy. They should probably unpack their attachment to it

Quicksand, nudism, love triangles where two of the parties are the same person just in different costumes

That they believe they’ve succeeded, anyway

I daresay the gay men who distance themselves from us don’t even see themselves as faggots anymore, that they’ve succeeded in their goal of assimilation

Showed up immediately in my feed, for what it’s worth

liberals can’t even handle anyone to their left criticizing democrats like pete buttigieg and gavin newsom 3 years before the presidential primary about how they have shifted right on trans issues and homeless policies. when is the right time to criticize them????

You know what Zionism is, right? It’s an ideology explicitly predicated on creating a Jewish ethnostate

Which you don’t do in your country yet, I’m afraid.

I would say this dimwit is a clown, but that would be an insult to that noble and hot art.

“EtHnOsTaTeS aRe GoOd, AcTuAlLy”

Ridiculous person

So, she needed to make sure she got the racist vote. You realize that’s your argument here, right? Because the only people who care about “securing the border” are racists.

I love this one. “She needed to talk like a Republican about “securing the border” to court voters who think that’s an issue. I’m going to ignore that the only people who think this are racists and that she was pandering to racists because that’s inconvenient”

Shitlib distilled

And the next strip has Dorothy just going to town on the pudding cup Joyce gave her, sans spoon.

Like, this shit isn’t even subtext at this point

I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God”

Next hovertext hint comes in on Feb 22, 2018, where the hovertext is simply “Ruth 1:16” which, if we use the KJV for accuracy to Joyce’s character, says:

“And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest,

Heads up for Nov 22, 2016 hovertext: “maybe Leslie’s read the dumbiverse sexuality rule”

Yay 🥰

Aww, Jocelyn high fiving Becky for coming out, and Becky seeming to understand what she was getting at (if not totally, probably is just thinking she’s a gay man there) is really nice.

I hope you don’t mind me continuing to flag interesting hovertext as I read through. I’m just really enjoying the comic and this is a nice thread to come back to as I’m doing it and it’s keeping me from despairing so much about unemployment 😅

Looks like a couple days later there’s another where he shut comments off too. Only two I’ve noticed, but I appreciate that he’s willing to not give space for jackasses to be transphobic when Carla getting the brunt of a character’s transphobia is the focus of a strip

Okay, I have an interview tomorrow, so maybe all hope isn’t lost just yet.

And interesting to note that when Mary does a transphobia to Carla (Jan 20, 2016), it’s the first strip I’ve seen where there’s straight up no comments. Looks like Willis decided to not invite a comment shitstorm

Watch the hovertext on November 11

(Though I do want to point out ahead of time that July 22 has “fake it until you make it, Joyce” with respect to being gay)

For April 20, hovertext says “so I guess it’s not normal to try to smell Dorothy’s hair like you do mine”

Also learned that if you tap the white on either side of the navigation buttons on mobile you can get the hovertext. So if me chiming in with hovertext is annoying, I can stop

I love that Carla has the adjoining room, and how blissfully unaware she is of what’s going on next door
