I swear, everything you make is stunning.

How the fuck do so many people still think that's somehow ok? Or hell, think it actually works?

There once was a time when elected officials spewing naked bigotry like this was career ending. Now it's basically required in this regime, it seems.

Fair point. I'm just not sure if anyone following me would be upset at reposts and such. I know some folks already have a feed that contains NSFW content.

Question to folks who follow me. How do you all feel about reposts of NSFW content? Assuming it's always done with consent and appropriate tagging (I wouldn't if it lacked either), are you ok with it? This is a good reminder to adjust the settings how you prefer. (Settings - Moderation - scroll)

Happy birthday to women, who deal with entirely too much shit and get entirely too little in return. It's wild that every single cis woman and trans woman was born on the same day. The more you know! #InternationalWomensDay
(The birthday bit is a joke, but my appreciation for women isn't.)

Hell yes Ben, congrats! That's such a massive accomplishment!

Just come visit Phoenix in the summer, it'll feel plenty like a volcanic hellscape.

You say this like making cool stuff like this is a bad thing.

They've got a hell of an excavator to keep digging the bar lower and lower.

Time to add another notch on the Late Stage Capitalism scale.

Some of the things I see shared would terrify any rational person. And that's just the things they're willing to share. The absolute volume and intensity of the things they aren't willing to share doubtlessly dwarf both metrics. I hope this person finds healing and also stays the hell away from you.

The Spider-Man set's complaints were myriad, and for good reason. But the TMNT hate feels more like an extension of just the fatigue with UB rather than the set's design. Though the issue of each turtle having 5ish cards makes identifying them exhausting.

Congratulations to you both!

Ok, but can we maybe get pictures of the finished cake as a compromise? (If possible/comfortable doing so, of course)

Holy shit, that dress is spectacular.

I won't get into the weeds of defining specific chooseable demographics, bit there is one with significant historical precedent - religion. If you hear someone in power blame an entire religion (Muslims, Jewish, etc) and/or call them all criminals, they're full of shit.

To clarify the last sentence a bit, I mean a demographic that you can't choose for yourself. Race, age, gender, place of birth, etc. Things you can choose to be, let's say billionaire for example, can be universally criminal. And I dare say that that group in particular is.

There's a simple rule of thumb when listening to someone in power assign blame. If they place the blame for anything on a single demographic (gender, race, sexual orientation, etc), they're full of shit. There's no single unchooseable demographic of people that are universally criminals. Full stop.

Congrats, Matt! That's a huge accomplishment!

This box is closer to mom. That's why it's better.

Rest assured you are far from alone in that stance. Revenge porn is an atrocious act.

What is a challenge you frequently face in your current career that you did not foresee before beginning it?

I imagine one faces lots of challenges as a congressperson, but I always wonder about the ones that a person did not foresee. Thank you for all your hard work!

Really, all 3 of them are absolutely incredible. I've watched them easy so many times now, and don't intend to stop any time soon.

Holy crap, what a stunning piece of art.

There isn't enough unkind words that I can say about the state of the US healthcare system. My key takeaway is that no matter how bad you think the system is, I can guarantee it's even worse.

I'd love for some good news to pop up to break the far-too-long chain of bad news. Maybe some day.

And I'm continually glad that you're still with us.
