Any progress is good progress.

Doing something creative and sharing it for others to enjoy is absolutely a bright light in the world today.

Please keep doing it.
Even if it's only for yourself.

Good luck with this one!

Kids are awesome.
... but happy kids, however they get there, are so much better.

Like, the parents can grasp "oh he doesn't eat chocolate ice cream" or "oh, they don't like that show" but somehow... not extend that same level of care towards "they're more comfortable behaving this way".

I'd be more incredulous if this was a NEW issue, but it was around as I grew up too.

They want a "goddamned grip" - they want to be so absolutely controlling, kids are not allowed to do anything except what they're told. After all, kids are idiots, right? Adults certainly know what's best for them!
No, because each individual has different needs and desires. Even over ice cream.

What's more interesting is... like... WHY decide you need to try to do something to embarrass the Teamsters? Does he want to never get a delivery to his place ever again?

He's trying to use that phrase to absolve himself of "but it was assault" from the guy he's fighting.

... of course, if he was to lose, he'd try to claim he never consented to it. Or that it's assault anyway. (I think technically it is, come to think? I'm no lawyer. Feels like it would STILL be.)

They could also go in there and "look for something which might be what you want" based on the cover and back blurb.

... which, of course, also gave rise to games which were sneakily deceptive in both cases but that's another thing entirely. :)

Darnit, Sophia, don't you know better?
... you're supposed to microwave tea. I had an expert explain that to me!

I think that's her classic two-piece...
... which is still a phenomenal look, yes. :)

Wasn't that the Teamsters president, too?

Or did Markwayne do this more than once?

"Knock it off, there's more than enough to share."
"But THIS one is mine."

Maybe some others too, like Laurel.

Counterpoint...

Nobody is going to tell you no.

... might have?
Maybe you need to make sure. Find another. :)

Hmmm, yeah this is a fun channel for little shorts of various topics. Today it's Star Wars and I'm definitely putting this out there:

(It really is... no joking. :) )

Also because it's really dumb for something trying to be helpful.

Like Clippy.

Fuck Clippy too.

... I should plug that a bit more to people when I mention your "long form videos".

(I've ALSO been told "white is bad, yellow is a NIGHTMARE". So have fun thinking on that one! :) )

I'm told white can be differently-difficult depending on what white you use. Some have spoken pleasantly of the Pro Acryl "Bold Titanium White".
I instead got a cheap "Apple Barrel" acrylic from WalMart once upon a time and use that. It's... worked, but I have to be VERY careful while 'touching up'.

... I would love for someone to place a chicken on the desk and go. "So, it's bipedal and produces eggs..."

Well you just need to get An Archive Of Her Own for your work.

So you can keep the Tagalongs. I'll keep the Samoas. Everyone else can fight over the Thin Mints. :)

A box of cookies is never enough, and yet it does have to end at some point... and when it ends, that first thought is how it wasn't enough.

Like all good things.
... not Tagalongs, I leave those for others. Not my thing. Samoas, though? Reminds me, need to go out of my way to get some soon.

Depends on which, and when...
