#Other Problems

Pics: Problems Forgotten During an Election Year...

1. The U.S. response to the Israeli massacre in Gaza has been far too little, far too late.

We shouldn't be on the side of anyone who kills civilians & then makes "fun" about it online...

We & the U.N. should be calling for an exchange of prisoners/hostages not backing more abuse.

We should be denouncing the whole- sale massacre & the stealing of land that Israel engages in.

Yes, Irani backed attacks shouldn't be tolerated by Israel.

But, that doesn't mean that you respond by killing the innocents that your enemy hides behind.

You punish Iran & the attackers them- selves...

Anything else is overkill & bloodlust.

Things that aren't normally allowed by the international rule of law.

Things we shouldn't be involved in...

2 thru 4. The falling apart of airplanes - while in flight - has been traced back to tRump era loosening of safeguard laws.

We should sue the aircraft owners & the Republikkkan Party for passing dangerous public laws & force them both to pay for reparations...

5 & 6. So, Tik Tok can be banned for being dangerous to our country's overall safety?

Then, why aren't guns completely banned for truly being so dangerous to all of our lives?!

Can you spell distraction?!!

7 & 8. If there's a true failure in the Democratic Party today - it's their failure to help normal citizens avoid inflammatory pricing.

Where's the laws that keep American businesses from openly gouging their customers?

Why haven't we even heard much about this from the Better Business Bureau or the other economic watchdogs?

To make matters worse, we're now paying inflated prices for shrinkflation products...

Sure, it's an election year. But, our government can't afford to forget about its economy just because of that...

Sue the corporations behind all of the gouging, raise taxes on them & make them pay reparations for all of their past overpricing!!

End.

Nothing in my career will ever beat the time many years ago when I gave a patient, who for the record was buck ass naked, potassium pills and she went “what do they think I am, a porn star?!”

keep seeing undergrads on social media saying “oh if a prof has a strict no-AI academic integrity policy that’s a red flag for me because that means they don’t know how to design assignments” like sorry girl but that just sounds like you’ve got a case of sour grapes about not being allowed to cheat with the plagiarism machine that doesn’t know how to evaluate sources and kills the environment! I have a strict no-AI policy because if you use AI to write your essays for a writing course it’s literally plagiarism because you didn’t write it and you’re not learning any of the things the course teaches if you just plug a prompt into the plagiarism generator that kills the environment, hope this helps!

White people are miserable, racist losers period. They’ve even been getting mad at Japanese people for correcting them about Yasuke as well.

As someone who grew up with "I'm not going to praise you for doing what's expected of you; that's not being good, that's doing the bare minimum" I want to encourage you to celebrate every little thing you can. Everything that takes energy and effort should be appreciated and you're allowed to be happy about trying.

Did somebody say Bill shouldn't be allowed to swear? I think somebody said Bill shouldn't be allowed to swear. Thanks to that, have these retooled The Good Place jokes:

The "powers that be" can refer to either the Theraprism staff, the Axolotl, or just. Ya know. Disney in general. Or all three! Whichever you think is funniest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The "party" Bill's referring to is Weirdmageddon, of course. He was quite the ashhole to everyone back then.

Ford has probably gotten pretty good at the 'tune out your psychopathic ex with dank memes' challenge.

It must be very cathartic to be able to make Bill shut up whenever you want with just the press of a button. I'm sure Ford doesn't abuse this ability at all.

Oh, sure, 'Not now,' he says, before he immediately backs out of the newly-made hole in the Theraprism wall. 🙄

Don't worry, Bill doesn't get far.

also yeah i know this one doesn't have an attempted swear - i just wanted to use the joke because of the massive stink-eye involved in it because it makes me laugh

⬇️ More goofs beneath the brief ramble if you wanna skip it lmao⬇️

Why is Ford even there, you might ask? Well, he either decided he preferred to watch Bill suffer in person over being distantly and repeatedly harassed with the same evil desperation book for the rest of his life, or he got roped into some kind of contrived community service for 1.) all his many counts of interdimensional thievery, and 2.) his ignoring all the very clear warnings to NOT summon Bill in the first place (which I like to imagine is also illegal). Theraprism staff were just like, 'Wait, this guy matters to Bill? Ooh, we can USE that! It might be the only thing that can help him want to get better!' It is not considered that throwing Ford at Bill so soon after Weirdmageddon could instead make them both WORSE - in new and altogether special ways! :D

Anyway, I'm calling it the Community Service AU, and I am most likely not going to do anything else with it beyond appropriating these silly Good Place jokes. So, feel free to adopt the concept if y'all wanna??? Just make sure that Bill is still not allowed to swear, no matter what, full stop. It's gotta be a real linguistic corkblork of a situation for him, is all I'm sayin'.

Finally, have these bonus Good Place jokes, but with Handyman!Bill this time:

'Opposite tortures' doesn't sound so bad...at least until it's an all-powerful chaos entity known for torture saying it.

you may think i forgot mabel's cute pink cheeks but the truth is that i did in fact forget but then immediately stopped caring which makes it okay, SHHHHHHH

And, finally:

lmao this is shit

True facts, if you cram Season 1 Eleanor Shellstrop and Michael into a singular triangle shape, they turn into Bill Cipher. This is science, look it up. Or don't, and just trust the source that is me, bro.

Anyway, I should be in bed, y'all have fun with these, I guess. Tune in after like a week or so and maybe I'll have an addendum to my comic about how Bill was drawn naked for karaoke night. Because him actually being naked was not the only thing I considered as a plausible explanation. XD

Also if you see any inconsistencies or errors in any of these comics, No You Do Not :D

Also also, reblogs are rad as hell and I appreciate every single one, just don't repost, please and thanks. Every time a repost is made, an artist somewhere cries. :,)

i have such a love for characters who descend into madness or villainy out of deep, deep empathy. characters who fundamentally cannot cope with the cruel realities they find themselves in and blow up about it in spectacular fashion. fallen angel type characters with tears of outrage in their eyes. characters who break before they bend, and break so badly they splatter blood all over their noble ideals. every variation on it gets me so good

[xenascribbles]

this is a safe space for people who think they’re “bad” writers btw you’re not a bad writer, you’re learning and i love you

Pics: And things seemed to be going 'smoothly' for the Republikkkan Nazis.

1. My caption reads (purposely miss repeating Star Wars 4), "There's not a worse den of riffraff in 12 parsecs!!"

But, I really like the more succinct, "Hell No!!"

Which is much better...

2. Math is 1 thing that the American oligarchs are on top of.

They use their accountants to cheat the rest of the country.

Cause they're so much better than anyone else...

3. Now who's the oldest mental head case to try & steal our elections?!!

4. So, the Republikkkans are now all trying to 'attack' VP Harris.

But, they're now trying not to use any racist or sexist language in their usual virulent ads...

Which is backfiring on them!!

The Rump actually has racists turning on him because of a 'heartfelt' letter that he sent to a Muslim police officer.

So, they're voting against tRump - for him not being racist enough!!

Only in America...

5. Yes, the Rump's recovered enough to ramble ever on - without anything to actually say!

Just the usual macho crap - when he remembers...

Pics: Other things to worry about!

1. What's going on with the Secret Service?

This is 1 of their worse 'showings' ever!

Since Kennedy's assassination - at least...

2. A world of too much info seems to leave most of us with too many fears.

Especially, when a lot of conspiracy theories are 'running' the world!!

Being used to take advantage of others & leaving good folk to not trust anyone else...

3. There's already been a tech bubble crash in our past!

But, corporations seem to now build newer bubbles every couple of years.

The same thing is happening to the 'false money' (Bitcoin, etc...) bubbles...

All because regular banks don't pay much in interest, causing people to try more risky 'options'...

4. Climate change - the 'forgotten' problem that can kill us all...

The weather is getting worse, medical & industrial pollution sees no letdown & only a few folk & companies are actively trying to do something about it...

5. Now, add up all of those problems - together!!

Sadly, all of the attention is now on the US election - with enough twists & turns to make a great TV series!

Otherwise, we keep leaving such 'Big' problems for scientists to solve.

Well, they could use your local help!

It doesn't have to be a sudden, giant change in your life.

But, you can help out just by following a small step approach.

Those little changes do add up...

End - for now.

I mean I get that’s it’s not the only contributing factor, but I’m curious exactly how much of the shelter dog over-population problem is actually due to poor dog ownership/management vs the housing crisis and economical stress. I’d be willing to bet by investing in social programs that give people the resources they need to care for their pets (cough cough affordable and free housing cough cough) that the amount of pets in shelters would dramatically drop. We can all sit here pointing fingers and screaming at each other until we are blue in the face, but if the owners basic needs are not being met, how can we hold them to a basic standard for their pets?

[july-19th-club]

seriously have been thinking about this all night long. call me autistic but the fact that 90% of workplaces the point is not to get your work done and then be done doing it but to instead perform an elaborate social dance in which you find something to do even when you're done doing everything you need to do in order to show your fellow workers that you, too, are Working . because you are at Work . disgusting why cant we all agree that if there is no work immediately to be done. we just dont do anything

[i-whisper-not-to-be-heard]

A friend once told me “ur too sweet not to get that many compliments” while I was on a trip doing something I was terrified to do. This followed an exchange of her complimenting me for ten minutes which made my week.

I love her.

We texted daily for two years.

In January she stopped completely. Normal conversation and the next day she didn’t respond. I say that’s ok. Hope she’s ok. Next day, she doesn’t respond. I get a little worried, but that’s ok people are busy, I’m busy. A week later I text asking if she’s ok, if I did or said anything to hurt her what I can do for her. She reads it.

She doesn’t respond.

Way back in October she texted me crying, asking for my help. She didn’t like needles and was having a situation with one. I help, and afterwards she says “it helped more than u think” and I say “of course. Always. Always. I love you” and she says it back

But she hasn’t responded.

She won’t read this. She doesn’t have a tumblr. But I love you I love you I love you.

My brain does this thing where I see a thing and want to tell her about it. I’ll draft a text. I’ll write it out, but she won’t respond i know she won’t. So I don’t send it.

I still love you, even if it hurts.

And it does.

Apparently this needs to be said so

Forgetting things is morally neutral! Memory issues are morally neutral!

You're not a bad person if you...

forget things quickly

forget people

can't remember entire stages of your life

can't remember important things

can remember some things very well and forget other things all the time

can't remember things (or anything!) about your interests

forget to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, etc

forget to reply to texts

remember things and immediately forget them again

can't remember birthdays, events, etc

frequently answer 'I forgot' to questions

can't retain new information

forget things you used to know

only remember things when it's too late

have vague, distorted and/or unreliable memories

depend on others to know how an event you were in played out

have other symptoms that are worsened by memory issues and vice versa

... and anything else I might have missed!

man I wish people understood how much it sucks ass to be neurodivergent and trying to find the middle ground where people like/tolerate you. like, I'm either "boring" (trying to wait my turn in conversations, holding space for other people, taking a back seat to let others get some spotlight) or "too much" (too loud/talking too much, getting excited to share, trying to participate in group conversations/activities). No one really talks about how much of being neurodivergent is just sort of trying to make yourself palatable.

I feel like so much of my life has been spent trying to find this effortless sort of middle ground everyone else seems to automatically already know, and I'm always swinging too far one way or the other. I'm lucky to have neurodivergent friends who grok me, but goddamn I wish that I could just like, exist without the constant background script in my brain that's like "you're being too loud. You're not talking enough. you're being self-centered. you're being boring. you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong." I feel like I'm back in high school trying to make friends but stuck as the eternal "weird kid"

it's just... lonely and sucks bad.
