@elevendraws
it came to my realization that 99% of my fandom related headaches would be cured if everyone understood this
a comic i made is being sold on a shelf at my favorite cb store as of today and this post is still my biggest accomplishment of the day
This headcanon guide, if understood, would also reduce the Asks I get by about half.
My latest cartoon for @GuardianBooks.
This is what will happen when I die if I am good.
Ok now do NYT columnists
already this has tags in the notes like “#anti ai” but... this is just real life with almost everything. this is like grifter 101 please don’t exceptionalize needing to be critical of chatgpt.
This is literally how job interviews work, by the way, and then everyone is surprised the super-duper confident guy is also an incompetent moron.
This worked on Trump voters, with the added selling point that he's a piece of shit that gave them permission to be pieces of shit.
Talking to experts when I was young used to drive me nuts because I would say something self-evidently straightforward, and they would say, "Well, it's not actually as simple as that..."
And then I got older and learned things on the way, and found people asking me questions that were straightforward, but the equivalent of "Why isn't it obvious to everyone that there is only one right way of doing the thing...?" and I would reply, "Well, it's not as simple as that..." and watch them decide that I probably didn't know what I was talking about.
i must not stir the pot. stirring the pot is the notifications-killer. participation in the discourse is the little-death that brings total activity obliteration. i will face the bad opinions on the internet. i will permit them to pass over me and through me. and when they have gone past, i will turn the block button onto their source. where the discourse has come from there will be nothing. only i will remain.
anyone else seeing weird mysterious failures on Tumblr
yeah but you didnt have to call us out like that
network failures network failures
Neil Banged out his tunes today, on a train you have the comfort and relaxation to bang out your own tunes
Random writing thought: the best stories are often the ones that only you could have written — but also the ones that you could only write at this one moment.
I couldn't write All the Birds in the Sky from scratch now if I tried. But the me of 2013 couldn't have written The Prodigal Mother either.
When people ask if I'd change anything about a book I've already written, I want to explain to them that I'm not the person who wrote that book any longer, and even if I tried right now I'd write a different one. Everything you make as a writer* is a combination of what you want to say and who you are at the time you are telling that story.
*possibly also as an artist or as a human being
i am a big believer in letting music (and other media) come to you when you're ready for it. you may only know vaguely of an acclaimed beloved artist and suspect that you'd be into them but just... not ever get around to it. and then in 15 years one of their songs just hits you the right way and what a gift to suddenly have all of their works to explore! there is no hurry; what is good is always good.
i feel the need to reiterate that "hamas" also happens to be a regular arabic word that means "fervour", "excitement" or "passion" because i feel like in some time we'll start seeing arabs being "called out" because someone heard them speak the word
Some people have already said this in the tags but it can't be repeated enough:
This is the same as with "Allahu Akbar" which can be translated as "God is the greatest" (and before someone "calls me out" on it, Allah is just "god" in arabic so stfu)
This is also the same as with "Jihad", which can be "struggling", "striving" or similar words with the connotation of "exertion"
This is ALSO the same as with Al-quds or simply quds, being Jerusalem's name in arabic.
And I'm sure there are even more out there that will be weaponized by Islamophobes and racists all around the globe.
fuck, it sure is
the older i get the more frustrating i find it how little people recognize or acknowledge it when massive problems start to get solved... i get the concept of focusing on unsolved problems and injustices to keep up the pressure of public opinion, but we should also acknowledge it when great things are accomplished. we just started rolling out the first-ever malaria vaccine which will likely save millions of children's lives. about half a million people die of malaria every year and over half of those deaths are children 5 years old and under. ive seen literally no one i know talking about this huge triumph for humanity
we're also on track to completely restore the ozone layer. we have averted one horrifying environmental catastrophe and we can do it again. our planet is not doomed
Oh if people need context for live slug reaction this is the original post. I'm not sure why it's blowing up today but it sure is hilarious

Who is this Pukichop and why do they keep apearing on my fed
its pronounced pukicho
Once upon a time…
I really wish the overused sentence “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” was less relevant but here we are
In their defence, a lot of it is sand.
I'm starting to think that maybe Europe just isn't that big
no but because australia is close to the bottom of the map and the flat map is distorted to fit a square map shape, australia on the flat map is significantly smaller compared to places closer to the equator.
Thank you for being the one single person in the notes who understands map projections. Australia is big, but still significantly smaller than the US.
Australia is not significantly smaller than the mainland US, no. These are the real sizes, not a Mercator projection. I think you're misunderstanding what yanzinator said. The US does have significantly larger island territories than Australia, though.
The continuous US (so, not counting the islands and Alaska) and Australia are roughly the same size:
US: 2,959,064.44 square miles (7,663,941.7 km2)
Australia: 2,969,907 sq mi (7,692,024 km2)
And the person above has the impact of the Mercator projection completely backwards: North America and Europe appear much larger than they actually are due to their latitudes. Most notably Greenland looks like it is bigger than Africa! (It isn’t.)
In the picture below, the pale blue is Mercator and the dark blue is actual size:
And here is Africa vs Greenland:
There is a website where you can drag and drop countries on top of each other to see the actual size comparison taking into account projection
Drag and drop countries around the map to compare their relative size. Is Greenland really as big as all of Africa? You may be surprised at
It's pretty cool and also Japan is a lot bigger than I thought it was
I told myself I was gonna wait to post them until I finished their kids too but I can’t contain myself any longer…. I need everyone to look at these hags RIGHT NOW!!!!!! Nextgen raeda my beloveds!!!
