The crotch/ass seam is also a different ratio and the waist is higher on women's pants. Also the fabrics tend to be a lighter weight so u get more value for money in mens section. Get white pants we can dye them!!!!!!

An image announcing a 5-min portrait fundraiser for DCAF, with two examples of portraits, both are rendered with black out lines on a white background. Text reads "Support DCAF and get a custom drawing by one of our talented committee members"

An explanation of the fundraiser reads "We are committed to keeping costs down for our artists. But our expenses are ever increasing. Your donations will help cover the costs of our venue, tables, insurance, posters, poster artists, workshops and more. *Plus you get some custom art*

A further description of the fundraiser. Text reads "A 5-min, head and shoulders. Styles and colour will vary." There is another drawing similar to the two in the first image. Text reads "You will receive an A5 PDF file via email which you can print yourself, and a jpg which you can use to post online (please tag DCAF and your artist).

**DCAF FUNDRAISER!!!** Our very talented committee members have donated their time for a 5-min portrait fundraiser to help cover the costs of running DCAF in 2026. Prices from €5 (or donate what you can).

Ugh I hate doing this part of comics. Ugh I hate doing THIS part. Ugh I HATE doing this part. "Why don't you do literally anything else" WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!!!! I LOVE COMICS I WOULD DIE FOR THEM

"They lived happily ever after until one random tuesday when the monster suddenly ate the monsterfucker. It was ruled a death by misadventure."

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field.

There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

Oh god. Oh fuck.

A crying person crouches in the dark, illuminated only by the light from their phone. Text reads: "I LET LOVE DESTROY ME AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID COMIC by Hel Mel: A chronicle of a heartbroken dyke braving the murky waters of dating apps, exploring gay yearning, intimacy, and the gamification of dating."

"[Autobiography] just scratches some sort of gossip gland. It's not snooping, but it feels like it."
