Hey everyone! Sorry about this, but I’m reposting my last comic to see if I’ve figured out why my art doesn’t show up in Tumblr mobile tags at all. Sorry for the spam!
EDIT: WOW SUCCESS. Turns out 1) Adding external links to stuff like twitter/tapas/kofi gets it flagged as spam immediately 2) I used JPG instead of PNG, which shouldn’t matter but I guess it saves on file size 3) I posted with only one tag and added more with the edit function?? This one shouldn’t actually be the problem (it was just easier to test with one tag) but hey–I’m a scientist–so gotta note down variables like one LOL
So today pulling into Stop and Shop, this lady cut me off and nearly drove into me, and then, when I tried to pass her, she swung to the right and nearly hit me again, and then flipped me off.
So somebody is having a bad day and taking it out on me. That’s fine. It’s harmless, and I don’t know what’s going on in this woman’s life. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt she’s not just a piece of shit and is just having a bad day.
But then I park and she follows me, and gets out of the car and starts swearing at me and getting in my face.
Now I go from “indifferent” to “I’m gonna fuck with this woman’s head.” Now I would say I’m a gentleman of size, and in all black and bemohawked I probably look spookier than I actually am, so props to this lady for getting in my face. Now of course I’m not going to hit her, or even threaten violence. That’s shitty. Nobody should get threatened with violence.
Instead, I take a step back, narrowing my eyes like I’m studying her face really closely, and then I touch one of the several piece of “occulty” jewelry I’m wearing (none of which, by the way, are magicked in any way at all). Then I mumble some nonsense under my breath, and then make the fig gesture and the horns at her.
She stops, wide-eyed.
“WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO TO ME?”
I chuckled, and shake my head. “Nothing at all.” I say in a not-terrible convincing voice. “But every time something bad happens to you today, you’re gonna be thinking of me.”
Why is this even a problem? If you need more citizens, take in more immigrants or refugees. It’s not like America has a shortage of either wanting to come in. If you can’t make your own citizens, imported is fine.

“If you can’t make your own citizens, imported is fine.”
The problem with the “no labels” thought process is often that it is championed by people who don’t need labels to feel validated. Yes there can be something freeing about saying “I don’t need a word to know I can exist” but there is also something comforting in saying “there is a word for how I feel which means that someone else feels it too”.
Let people figure out on their own if they want a word to describe them.
having a word for something makes it easier to talk about, which is important because this is still a world where it’s possible for people to not know that such things even exist
Welcome back to Tumblr. Would you like some discourse? Or a funny picture?
Or maybe you want… me?
I want a Triple Baconator, large fries, 2 chocolate chunk cookies, a large orange Hi-C, and one small vanilla frosty.
Alright that’s a Triple Baconator, one large fry, two cookie, a large Pepsi, and… oh, I’m sorry, but our frosty machine is broken. Would you like anything else or will that complete your order?
I said I wanted a Large Orange Hi-C.
Alright, so that’s a Triple Baconator, two large fries, a cookie, a large Pepsi, a large Hi-C, and no frosty. Will that complete your order?
Yes, it will. Thank you.
I’m pulling up to the first window now.
[at the first window]
hey, you had the uh, two steak quesaritos, one cheesy potato griller, and a large baja blast?
Or say, “you’re [incorrect name], right?” If they correct you, they’re the real deal. If they say yes, then get out of there.
Take Lyft, they always greet you with “[insert name]?” Or “are you [name]?” If they’re a newer Lyft they have a a little Lyft sign that flashes your name in lights across it
that alien in lilo and stitch that just made sandwiches all the time is really relatable
Wasn’t that the one that had the potential to be just as strong, smart, and capable at things as Stitch was but chose to just make sandwiches cuz that’s what he liked?
