This, the Buddy for April 14th.

Not my best work, but it has a bit of nostalgic value for the red ink on black background.

Also nostalgic, the face, looking a bit like a sad Greek Theatre mask.

It sounds a bit silly now, but when I was younger, I was interested in Classical Greek comedy. Aristophanes and whatnot. I've read a lot of those plays. The Frogs, The Birds, The Wasps, The Clouds. That type of stuff. I guess I figured if I liked comedy, I should start with the earliest comedies known to man.

The Birds was the best one. A real rage-against-the-heavens type of plot, you know. Of course, I missed a lot of stuff because I didn't know enough about the culture of an ancient people, so the stories didn't make too much sense. Hell, even calling them "stories" doesn't really make that much sense, when you consider the background.

Still, I'd read a lot of plays. It's much cheaper than going to the theatre, you know, as Troy McClure would put it.

I also had a bit of an idea of making a comic based on those stories. Still kind of do, I guess, although I'm no longer working on it. I figured a long, multi-chapter saga about greek mythology could be like Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix manga, different stories joined by a recurring element.

But, that's a bit too ambitious for a dude who barely has enough patience to make one drawing a day.

So true.

what a beautiful day to not be in high school

“In its post about Sandri, Libs of TikTok used her previous legal name, a practice called “deadnaming” that is widely considered offensive among the trans community, and also misgendered her and asked, “Would you feel comfortable with this person teaching your kid?” The account also shared a screenshot of one of Sandri’s posts about the different kinds of LGBTQ Pride flags, saying she was “pushing” the content on her public TikTok where students can follow her.

State Rep. Brian Harrison, who represents Red Oak, where the school is located, shared Libs of TikTok’s post on X and demanded that Sandri be “immediately terminated.”

“Public schools (and the property taxes that fund them) are for education ... not leftist indoctrination!” Harrison wrote.

Chaya Raichik, the far-right activist who runs the Libs of TikTok account, did not return a request for comment.

In an emailed statement, Harrison said he is "proud to have helped deliver this victory to protect Texas students."

"Public schools are for education, not indoctrination," he said. "Any teacher who claims to get 'gender euphoria' from their minor students and teaches them that boys can become girls should be terminated immediately."

While Sandri said she never taught her students about transitioning and allowed them to address her however they felt comfortable, Harrison's spokesperson alleged Sandri abused her position "by coercing the students" into calling her the "wrong gender."

Sandri said that she was out sick last Wednesday, when Libs of TikTok initially shared her video, but that she started receiving threats and harassment to her personal and school email accounts and on social media shortly after.”

On a scale of Chang Geng to Luo Binghe, how well does your teenage protagonist cope with the realization that he has a massive thing for the guy that's basically raising him?

one of my favorite clark headcanons that i have (that is completely unsupported by canon) is that he's transgender by kryptonian standards. martha and jon kent raised him as a boy and as he grew up he never had any reason to doubt it at all, he was like yeah i'm a boy, makes sense. and then he gets to the fortress of solitude for the first time and it turns out how Gender works on krypton was just Different enough that clark doesn't really fit the kryptonian standards of whatever he was supposed to be. bonus points because this makes him feel like even more of an outsider as a kryptonian, even if he's the last one left.

I decided to go through my old warm-up notebooks from my honours english class and in one of the warm-up prompts, I said I wanted my superpower to be "controlling the effects of [my] puberty," and I'm glad to say that I've gotten that superpower. It took a very long time, but that's a superpower I can check off my list

[woundworship]

randomly remembered the anatomy professor i had as a freshman who liked every single student in class and was at least polite to the ones who did no work and/or clearly didnt want to be there but hated me w a passion. like the man went out of his way to be rude to me in front of everyone to the point ppl talked about it. insane

grappling with my envy the past few days that stems from seeing people connect in all sorts of manners while my attachment issues prevent me from doing just that grrr

This is the Buddy for April 10th. Today's Buddy's brought to you by the sin of pride. That's like, the main sin, Lucifer's sin, like in: "The sin of pride," the devil cried "is what will do you in."

"I thought we had this settled. I'm the best there's ever been."

Buddy himself, like everyone from Argentina, has quite a big ego. But I wouldn't say his friends are far behind:

I know a lot of people who share that sentiment. I wouldn't say I'm above it, either. There's also:

Yeah, I mean, I've got a bit of impostor syndrome. Even though I'm better than God himself, when I see that drawing, it looks like something a child could've made in less than a minute. The world needs more humble geniuses such as myself. Then again:

That's a fact.

There are basically two ways people can end up swallowed by their own egos. First, there's the type of person who assumes they're better than everyone and they just need a chance to show it. Those are the fame-hungry people who end up on reality shows and crap like that, to show off their mediocre skills and end up trashed by the hosts. Or, you know, the self-published authors whose epic sci fi saga "Gary Stu Versus The Evil Aliens that Look Like my High School Teachers" is available online. Negative reviews were written by jealous shills. Paul T. Goldman, from the Peacock documentary of the same name, is one of those.

Then there's the second type, the type I belong to. That's the type of person who's very aware everyone else thinks they're terrible, but that's because everyone else is stupid. So of course they won't love me. You don't expect swine to love pearls, right? They don't get how amazing I am because they're all braindead. So I don't expect all those morons to realize I'm amazing. After all, they're the ones who made garbage like Power Rangers, Fifty Shades of Grey, Jersey Shore and Limp Bizkit into worldwide successes.

Luckily, that means I can't lose. Any criticism directed towards me is actually a compliment in disguise. After all, if an idiot (i.e., 99.99% of the world population) dislikes me, I must be doing something right.

GUYS look at my wha oc😎

sayuri starting her email to gakuganji with "per my last email" when discussing her students well being. in actuality, it's a fancy way of saying, fuck around and find out old man.

Ygo doing a great job reminding me why teachers can be the scum of the fucking earth

[bitstitchbitch]

oh my fucking god I found it.

the book I absolutely abhorred reading in tenth grade English. I had completely forgotten the name and plot, but I recognized it while reading the list of Hugo award winners and found an excerpt to confirm

fucking starship troopers by Robert a heinlein. I can’t even begin to explain how much I hated reading this - and I usually liked books I read in English class.

Quotes from Wikipedia:

“ Starship Troopers also criticizes the US society of the 1950s, arguing that a lack of discipline had led to a moral decline, and advocates corporal and capital punishment”

“Reviewers were strongly critical of the book's intentional glorification of the military, an aspect described as propaganda and likened to recruitment.The novel's militarism, and the fact that government service – most often military service – was a prerequisite to the right to vote in the novel's fictional society, led to it being frequently described as fascist.Others disagree, arguing that Heinlein was only exploring the idea of limiting the right to vote to a certain group of people. Heinlein's depiction of gender has also been questioned, while reviewers have said that the terms used to describe the aliens were akin to racial epithets”

I feel so justified in my hatred now. I distinctly remember feeling like the book was very sexist and excessively militaristic. And I just couldn’t stand the prose or writing style.
