What do you think? What are your experiences in identity investigation? Comment on For Harriet or here. I want your thoughts!!

Then check out your circle (a.k.a. family, friends, classmates, coworkers, etc.). While it’s completely normal to allow some influences, if they control your tastes—be it directly or through snide comments, nasty looks, eye rolling, and other non-computerized human signals—then it’s time to take a step back. Drop what you don’t like to pick up what you do. If you can’t stand their tastes, create your own. Once you accept that you can change, you will have a better understanding of who you are.

Dear devs, I wrote an article about the art of programming. What is your opinion on the subject?

A quick explanation about what happened in Ferguson. For those of you that remember, I wrote a comic about cop violence a few weeks ago, which outlined some of the events. Hopefully, this will explain a few things to some of you who weren’t made aware of the recent events and summarize it for those of you that were.

There are still protests and arrests going on. You are free to add any extra information or share your opinions on the subject!

It's a Character Revolution! All of these fellows are part of Dill's world which I've been creating since I was 7 years old. These are their semi-finalized designs, as their evolution continues to happen.
