What a beautiful thing to know that whatever comes after the gulf will be even weirder 🥺

Speaking to the spirit now:

WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU WHEN I HIT THAT POTHOLE TWO DAYS AGO HUH? COULDNT GUIDE MY HANDS TO TURN MY CAR A LITTLE BIT TO THE LEFT!

Found lip balm when i really needed some today in a bag I havent used all winter but picked and random this morning. I feel like i was bestowed a beautiful gift by some hidden spirit guiding my fates

should be obvious by now since it's march but I'm axing the whole yearly bingo card thing. I actually made one for the year but I realized it was going to be 75% political shit and through the process I realized this bit isn't really fun anymore, so I'm calling it quits.

Some conservatives here think that secular young Iranians would be happy if America would come and liberate them. What would you say to them? Democracy, contrary to what they try to tell us, it’s not a paper that you hang on the wall and then you have a democracy. Democracy is a social evolution. It is something cultural. Iranians, they have become much more secular, and they are ready for democracy, but they have to fight themselves for democracy, and the only thing that other countries can do is to understand their fight and help them in their fight. They [America] talk about the human rights in Iran … how is it that the United States makes the biggest deals with China, and China is far from respecting human rights? What about Saudi Arabia? If you want to talk about an inquisition, the Iranian regime is far from being an inquisition. We have almost a free press, people leave, women have the right to study, they drive, they work. Saudi Arabia, they don’t have anything like that! Talk about human rights in Saudi Arabia! Why doesn’t anyone go and put a bomb in Saudi Arabia and kill the king?

Do you think it’s ironic that, in the face of American threats, you almost find yourself defending the Iranian regime? Absolutely, but if we want a democracy, the Iranian people have to do it themselves. The Americans say they want a democracy in Iran, and at the same time, when the Iranians wanted to become democratic in 1953 with [Mohammad] Mosaddeq and to nationalize our oil, the CIA came and made a coup d’état in my country. Why do you want me to believe that they want to come and make a democracy? We have to make our democracy! There are many things that I wish for in my country — I want my country to be free, I want my country to be democratic, I don’t want any journalists to go to jail because of an article they wrote in my country. But if the United States of America attacked my country, no matter what, I would be against the United States.

Do you see similarities between the Christian fundamentalists in our government and the mullahs in Iran? They’re the same! George Bush and the mullahs of Iran, they use the same words! The mullahs of Iran say we have God on our side; he has God on his side, too. Both of them are convinced that they are going to eradicate evil in the world. But when these words come out of the mouth of a mullah, it’s normal. It’s a shame that the president of the biggest secular democracy in the world talks with the same words as the mullahs. It’s extremely scary.

Do you have any advice for secular Americans who are faced with living in a country that’s increasingly governed by religious fundamentalists? If I have any advice, it’s that every day that you wake up, don’t say, “This is normal.” Every day, wake up with this idea that you have to defend your freedom. Nobody has the right to take from women the right to abortion, nobody has the right to take from homosexuals the right to be homosexual, nobody has the right to stop people laughing, to stop people thinking, to stop people talking. If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.

The full 2005 interview it's from is well worth a read btw. Sadly just as relevant today as it was 20+ years ago—moreso, in fact. www.salon.com/2005/04/24/s...

"There are many things I wish for my country . . . But if the USA attacked my country, no matter what, I would be against the US."

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Long live 2D animation (& practical effects).

I think its incredibly weird how ppl have been saying trump is doing this to cover up for the epstein files. And its invading another country. I do not wish to downplay the importance of the epstein files. But some of you need fo see the bigger picture.

Fuck my baka life gotta write a stupid damn letter to my dumb MLA >:l

I wrote this comic 2 years ago. I was terrified when I wrote it but had hope it wouldn't come to pass and would be a reminder of how bad things got before we pulled back.

It not only has, it has gotten even worse. This is absolutely terrifying and will destroy lives if passed.

I feel like an eeky creeky pile of bones

I had a slow day at work so I could submit a bunch of query letters on the clock 😎 yippee!!!

Waiting for an older man to say "well I guess they just let anyone in here" like a patient birder listening for a sparrow's call

I was doing the refresher today and you gotta watch the intro video its crazy dramatic

Its a shame i can't show the videos that are in my work's cybersecurity course because I honestly just nearly died in the middle of the office laughing at one of them

Do i have the space for a free full service photocopier? No

But by god is the devil on my shoulder working to convince me

Discord is washed. You need to migrate to Meep. Brindle is good but in early access. Goop is promising but hasn't released their IPO. And definitely avoid Scringle, they've got ties to Sproink

A 3 page deltarune fancomic. Page 1 opens with a large panel of the outside doors to an underground shelter, bathed in moonlight. On panel 2 a figure out of frame inputs a code on a keypad on the door of the shelter. Panel 3 reveals the figure is Carol Holiday, an anthropomorphic deer woman wtih blue antlers, wearing a blue poncho.

Page 2 opens with a baseball bat lying strewn on the ground inside of the shelter. Carol kneels down next to it and pulls out an urn with the name "December" etched into it. She spreads the ashes onto the baseball bat while tears stream down her face. Throughout the page, Carol speaks "It's not fair... to you... or to me."

On page 3 Carol stands up and draws her Katana. She stands and prepares to strike her sword into the ground, creating a dark fountain. She says "I'll bring you back. I promise"

"A promise"

My little Deltarune fancomic I made to decompress from my most recent large comics project :] after playing chapter 4 when it came out this is my pet theory of what Carol has going on

Alright, got the idea out of my system

Getting real reminders of why I hate the suburbs today
