Did you know there was a Chinese Soviet Republic (like literally called a Soviet, explicitly copying the USSR's homework) that used money with Lenin's face on it

It had very big...making your own Sailor Moon OC vibes. Except ~9 million people were involved across several discontinuous regions

(Map from China: From Permanent Revolution to Counter-Revolution. I have not read this book and therefore cannot recommend or denounce it, just using this illustration.)

Hey you know how I said I was going to make a workbook on the kind of bullshit you need to do when someone you love dies? I actually did that.

HERE IS THE VERSION WITH LOTS OF SWEARING AT THE USELESS, SHITTY SITUATION YOU’RE IN.

HERE IS THE VERSION WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF BLACK HUMOR BUT NO CURSEWORDS.

Featuring Helpful Sections such as:

Death Certificates – What you need, why you need them, and how to get them

Prepare to spend a long and miserable time on the phone

What the Everloving Fuck is Probate

Some Simple Dos and Don’ts

Shitty Mad Libs – Templates for writing Obituaries and Memorials

How to plan a non-religious death party

So you suddenly have to become some sort of hacker or some shit

This is an eighteen page book that you can print out, download, share, and give away; it is meant to be used to collect information about funeral planning and account management after a death OR you can use it BEFORE you die and give people information so they’re not stuck playing Nancy Fucking Drew while trying to keep seventeen cousins who crawled out of the woodwork from gutting each other in front of the fucking casket as they argue about who’s inheriting grandma’s favorite dentures.

It’s not exactly cheerful and it’s full of things that are probably going to feel really fucking raw if you’re processing a fresh death.

I’m sorry! I love you! Death is shitty! I’m trying to laugh about it a little and I hope you can laugh a little too because otherwise we’re all just going to cry together.

Good luck!

(in memory of my weirdo mother and her weirdo siblings who all died too fucking young and left me holding this flaming bag of dogshit)

A reminder that turning in assignments for partial credit is better than not turning them in at all. It is. Even if you think you’ve done a bad job and are ashamed of your work, or it’s way overdue, you take whatever you can get. Partial credit dramatically improves your grade over a zero, and I’m always astounded by how often even the smartest kids don’t really comprehend that. 60% is worlds better than 0%. Even 10% is going to help you. Letter grades are misleading and are not created equal. “F"s are mathematically valuable. Turn that late assignment in.

I just realized that apparently I never shared this series here on Tumblr??  

I call it Living Paintings, as they are recreations of extinct animals that some artists actually saw and painted from memory, a long time ago.

“There is no such thing as a liberal media bias because liberals don’t own broadcast licenses,” observed Frank Zappa. “All media in the United States - and I would presume in the rest of the world too - is basically controlled by people who are of the right-wing persuasion. And I think that the concept of liberal media bias was a convenient fiction manufactured during the Reagan administration … “Basically, media in all of its forms is controlled by people who are not liberal. So, if you raise this bogeyman of liberal media bias, it gives you the license under the idea of American fairness to give the people on the other side a little bit more time … please give more time to the conservative point of view. And what that did was it just swamped the country with conservative propaganda. Except that it wasn’t conservative propaganda - it was bordering on fascist propaganda.”

Honest question: Why do pop culture references work and get a laugh in things like Shrek, but in others they just come across as just being lame and forced? What makes a pop culture reference work?
