maybe i’m a joyless bitch but i actually do NOT think it’s funny to see women being like “the house is just in my husbands name” or “my husband makes all the money” or “i don’t even know who our mortgage is with” or “the only bank account/credit card is his and i get an allowance” like i do NOT find that cute or romantic and i am begging these women to Stand Up. you should at least be named on the deed to your house and the title to your car and the bank accounts even if you don’t pay for them/earn all the money. you can’t stop existing in the eyes of the law and the credit unions simply because you have a husband. if you’re raising his children and washing his socks half of everything he’s got is yours and it needs to be yours LEGALLY BY NAME. "he takes such good care of me :)" girl you are a PRISONER!! that’s all

googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much

ive decided to become a Lawful Good edgelord abt driving a car. *looks broodily away from you* what's wrong...? no, you wouldn't understand. I've been burdened with a great and terrible power. a lethal metal machine that obeys my every whim but which whispers dark things to me...tempting me to move ever faster, to grow careless in my movements... I've seen this power corrupt many others. my father. my great-aunt veronica. I've seen them neglect the wisdom of the turn signal. I've seen them text while driving. every day I must remain vigilant lest I become over-used to this dark power......

honestly tragic there was never a star trek show weird and ok with showing gay people yet also homophobic enough at the same time to do a planet of gays episode where gay is straight and straight is gay i mean they sort of did that with the unbearably confused couldnt tell if it was being a gay or trans metaphor episode where that metaphor trans girl was most oppressed for desiring to be heterosexual in a world without gender but that was almost too self serious i mean it is star trek it would still believe the episode where riker endures heterophobia on planet gay was a really important mission statement episode and being boldly political but again whats really vital is we need the evil gay ruling class oppressing the poor sweet heteros we need the enterprise crew pretending to be gay for diplomacy purposes and it needs to be painfully dated and homophobic one can imagine different versions for different eras... in tos it would be like planet entirely of men or entirely of women and they wouldnt say it was planet of gays but it would be like all the most misogynistic moments of spocks brain but like with no respite and kirk would prove to the cold lesbian ice queen ruler of the planet that men are real flesh and blood and teach her how to love and spock would be really popular with planet lesbian if it was tng it would be like we are really bravely showing the homophobia thru the lens of straight people it would be exactly like the world where gay is straight and straight is gay viral youtube video and riker would save a poor woman from a life of cruel lesbian political marriage she doesnt believe in and teach her how to love... planet gays readily accepts captain picard as one of their own its all painfully serious and miserable if it was on ds9 it would be a ferengi episode where they delve into the deranged homosocial ferengi customs and its one of the worst episodes ever made they make sure that everyone knows part of the reason quark left ferenginar was because he wasnt "like that" but also keep making quark gay jokes anyways if it was on voyager they would use it as an opportunity to prove captain janeway is not a lesbian and really doesnt appreciate people saying that about her tom and harry would end up in an evil gay bar and get their kidneys stolen if it was on enterprise it would be a near constant unending barrage of unfunny gay jokes and the episode was never syndicated again after widespread protests as to its offensiveness malcolm and trip go to a bar and keep making more extreme gross out faces about getting hit on by men and have to put on a deeply painful gay stereotype performance to leave a situation unscathed t'pol experiences reverse homophobia heterophobia from the planets women but the enterprise crew keeps joking she might be gay and she gets it from both sides regularly rated one of the worst episodes of star trek ever made

I’m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says “that’s not a real name, but alright” which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80’s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know

Meiji period fashion was some of the best in the world, speaking purely from an aesthetic standpoint you can really see the collision of European and Japanese standards of beauty and how their broad agreement even in particulars (the similarity between Japanese and Gibson girl bouffants, the obi vs the corset, the obi knot vs the bustle, the mutual covetousness for exotic textiles, the feverish swapping of both art styles and subjects) combined and produced some of the most interesting cultural exchange we have this level of documentation for. Europeans were wearing kimono or adapting them into tea gowns, japanese were pairing lacy Edwardian blouses with skirt hakama and little button up boots. haori jackets with bowler hats and European style lapels. if steampunk was any good as an aesthetic it would steal wholesale from the copious records we have in both graphic arts and photography of how people were dressing in this milieu.

the thing is, sitting with your legs curled up underneath you is so so comfy. until it's not. and your feet and legs are numb and cramping. and this happens every time

My adaptation of the God of Arepo short story, which was originally up at ShortBox Comics Fair for charity. You can get a copy of the DRM-free ebook here for free - and I'd encourage you to donate to Mighty Writers or The Ministry of Stories in exchange.

Again it's an honour to be drawing one of my favourite short stories ever. Thank you so much for the original authors for creating this story; and for everyone who bought a copy and donated to the above non-profits.

i feel like it's absolutely crucial in the social justice world to take "he a little confused but he got the spirit" and similar sentiments/situations as a Win. intent is so much more important than saying it right the first time! if someone is approaching with scuffed language and incorrect terms but they're visibly being as polite as they know how, that person is a friend and should be treated better than what their words might invite in someone else's mouth.
