This comic made me feel things!
Hey, the source is not credited properly, so I thought that should be mentioned here. The short comic is from volume 5 of “Flight” comic anthology series. You can get a physical copy if you want to support the comic! The comic artist’s name is Svetlana Chmakova. Please check out her other works “Awkward”, “Brave”, and “Crush” at the library or bookstore! Also available in the ebook version. They all appear in the cute style and the color palette like the short comic.
For a fun fact, Svetlana Chmakova is the same artist who created “Dramacon” and “Nightschool” manga. Also the manga adaptation of ”Witch & Wizard”!
Beautiful
I am losing my fucking MIND you can see him realising what’s on the card in real time and picking it up. I love baseball what an incredible little sport
For the uninitiated: catchers often wear a wristband with a transparent cardholder and a flap. In the holder they’ll put a card with sign sequences, as well as the game plan — scouting reports telling what to throw to what hitter. A cheat sheet, basically. Most players have these for defensive positioning but the catcher’s is a whole other level of importance. It’s top level intelligence.
It fell out of Kirk’s wristband and Kiermaier clearly recognises what it is and takes it with him. That’s completely legal and not cheating. And now he knows exactly how the Jays were planning to pitch to the Rays for the rest of the series — which removes a lot of the element of surprise and forces the Jays to completely reconsider their strategy.
It’s so fucking stupid and it’s perfect
humans are an essential part of the ecosystem. nearly every ecosystem on earth had humans as an essential part of its function. the earth would be worse off than before if we were gone suddenly overnight. send tweet
I don’t remember dinosaurs drilling for oil and dumping trash everywhere…
very gently: yes. some humans have been doing destruction recently. yes, some humans are living in unsustainable ways. yes, the world is suffering for the actions of the humans who exploit the natural world.
however.
this has not been the case for the vast majority of time. this is not currently the case for many people on the earth right now. we evolved alongside earth’s ecosystems, as they evolved alongside us. we are part of it. we are embedded in the world. we have never been seperate from it, and the idea that we are – that our actions somehow could have no consequences for the world at large – is the mindset that allowed the current crisis to reach where it is.
it’s. hard to truly get a sense of the scale of humans’ existence on the planet– under the readmore i’ve drawn out a rough timeline for you. it is very long, so i’ll put it under the cut.
suffice it to say: humans, homo sapiens, have existed on the earth for 315,000 years. we did not invent agriculture until 11,500 years ago. the industrial revolution, the drilling for oil and dumping plastic? that has happened only in the last 250 years.
we are part of the world. we are in the world. some of us have very, very recently forgotten this fact. but we are remembering, and remembering quickly.
the earth needs us. it needs us to fix the things we’ve gotten wrong, yes. but it also needs us to be humans. to hunt, to burn, to care for the forests and the fields and the grasslands. it has always needed us. we are not interlopers here. we belong. we have simply forgotten our manners.
it is easy to just say ah humans are a plague no hope for us this is easy and comforting in its finality despair is easy it removes your responsibility from the equation but if we are to fix what we have broken we need to remember what we have always been supposed to do you can learn. you can help. it will be okay. we can fix it but we all have to WORK! we dont have to live alone! big and spacious history
CDC: if you’re vaccinated you don’t have to wear a mask anymore!
me: *sets this new recommendation gently on the ground* ah. no thank you
The C.D.C. said Thursday that vaccinated Americans no longer needed masks in most places. Other disease experts recently had a different mes
Everyone should know the international sign for Help Me. Let’s make this famous!!
Interesting; I didn't know this was a thing.
It’s apparently a thing, but it’s a very new thing, so it may need some help being known.

From gerrymandering to voter roll purges, we showed people around the world how the American system works. It didn’t go well.
Watch this video!
Here are some highlights from the video:
On Gerrymandering:
Ott (Estonia): “Well, now when you tell me what gerrymandering is then this sounds like cheating.”
Linda (UK): “That’s illegal. I’m sorry, firstly, gerrymandering needs to be illegal.”
Dan (Australia): ”In Australia, redistricting is done by an independent commission, not done by the politicians who won those districts, so it is a lot fairer.”
On Voter Registration
Ott (Estonia): “What is voter registration? I mean, I know what it is, but I understand, why do you have this kind of thing?
Olga (Germany): ”In Germany, you don’t need to register yourself for the vote.”
Ott (Estonia): “In Estonia, voter registration is automatic.”
Hridaya (India): “I actually had somebody who is an election officer come over to my house and help me out with my process of voter registration, and mind you, this is in a country of 1.3 billion people.”
On Voter Purging
Linda (UK): ”Come on. No one thinks of a word ‘purge’ and thinks of anything positive. We have seen the ‘Purge’ films.”
Clara (Italy): “Georgia likely removed nearly 200,000 from voter rolls wrongfully? How?”
Olga (Germany): ”I can’t imagine for this to happen in Germany.”
Nikita (New Zealand): “Nope, you don’t get to vote. Nope, you don’t get to vote either. Nope.”
On Making Voting Inconvenient
Ott (Estonia): “To me, it sounds like 19th century to be honest.”
Olga (Germany): “What I really appreciate about Germany is it’s so easy for you to go and vote. It’s on a Sunday. It’s on a free day.”
Hridaya (India): “In India, it’s actually illegal to keep your employees from voting.”
Dan (Australia): “So in Australia, we have this thing called a ‘democracy sausage.’ You take a selfie with your democracy sausage. You haven’t voted in Australia unless you’ve gotten your democracy sausage.”
Ott (Estonia): “In the last Estonian parliamentary elections, I think I cast my vote during breakfast. I have this identity card. I insert it into a computer reader, pick my candidate, and cast my vote.”
Jezza (New Zealand): “It took me two minutes.”
Ott (Estonia): “Approximately a minute.”
Linda (UK): “Five minutes.”
Hridaya (India): “Five to seven minutes.”
Olga (Germany): “Five to 10.”
Dan (Australia) “Ten minutes.”
Linda (UK): “Wait, wait, wait, it took him the amount of time it will take for me to fly from the U.K., from London to New York.”
Hridaya (India): “This feels like the opposite of easy to vote.”
Ott (Estonia): “This is not acceptable. It’s just not acceptable in a democratic country, I think.”
Linda (UK): “I’ll say 80 percent, just because they’ve haven’t been doing too well recently with everything else.”
Linda (UK): “64 percent.”
Nikita (New Zealand): “Yeah, that’s not good.”
Sibs (South Africa): “That’s almost half of the Americans have no voice.”
Hridaya (India): “It’s like you want to stop people from voting.”
Sibs (South Africa): “Why is that so?”
American democracy is broken.
Republicans in particular seem to want to make it hard for many Americans to vote.
Unfortunately, the conservative justices appointed by Republicans frequently uphold these kinds of voter suppression tactics.
We have to fix our democracy.
Voting Blue right now is the best chance we have to do so.
i know its the mets, but this is the coolest shit i’ve ever seen a human being do
Smoove with it too
This is the kind of shit you see in anime that shows that a certain character is stronger than other characters.
“Pathetic. You can’t even hold the bat you dare step to the plate? Have you no respect for the sport?”
reminds me of this gif
Baseball players are to be feared
Reblogging for the last one
^Same for me
They just kept getting progressively more “woah”
I’m not saying baseball superstitions are real but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Brandon Crawford during BP - May 29, 2015
Do you ever think about the players who don’t get remembered? The players who never hit legendary status. The players who won’t get a big farewell. The players who you won’t tell your kids and grandkids about. I know not everyone can be a hero and a legend nor should everyone get those titles, but here’s to the players who give their all to their teams expecting nothing in return. You are needed and loved.
There is an old Oakland A's player that used to play about 10-15 years ago and now he is the most successful real estate agent in my area. And every year he comes to our local middle school for career day and talks about being a pro player and how you should always have a back up plan.
