1947 illustration by Turkish cartoonist Ramiz Gökçe (1900-1953) of his classy and corpulent Tombul Teyze ("Chubby Aunt") and her much shorter husband Sıska Dayı ("Uncle Skinny"), who debuted in the newspaper Cumhuriyet gazetesi. Tombul Teyze was an advocate of good manners, who never hesitated to "correct" people with less appropriate behavior.

If I had a nickel for every time the topic of cannibalism came up during dinners with my family I'm not sure how many nickels I'd have but I think it would be more than the average person.

Monsterfucking is so normalized on Tumblr I kinda forgot it even counted as a kink. I thought it was like liking boobs on girls. The basic normal stuff most people like.

I think one challenge in living among so much uncertainty and tragedy is the way capitalism has taught us that our quiet, domestic moments don’t count for anything. The times we take to step away and have a moment to ourselves don’t count for anything. Our daily acts of care for friends and family don’t count for anything. The free things we do to bolster our connections and communities don’t count for anything. But these messages are coming from an ideology that wants us to be endless sources of profit. It’s an upside-down mindset that attempts to cast foundational human strengths and endeavors as frivolous. So, we may end up feeling that the necessities of life, the things our instincts are screaming for, are wasteful indulgences, especially in the face of so many big, worthy challenges. Just remember, as creatures of this Earth, we were not shaped by eons to be engines of profit. The small stuff is the big stuff. Doubly so in challenging times. Don’t make light of the gentle, vital, foundations of your life. Yes, huge heroic actions exist, but their impact pales in comparison to the thoughtful, caring acts of our everyday lives. Respect the small actions that make the good within your reach possible.
