reminder series: bleak yet comforting thoughts.

i specifically chose animals that are (or believed to be) extinct due to human influence: thylacine, great auk, baiji, west african black rhino, golden toad, dodo, passenger pigeon, and quagga. there are many other species i could have included. the plants are also based on extinct species, but i found much less information about extinct plants, unfortunately.

the text doesn’t necessarily relate to each animal or their extinction. it’s all basically the same idea: let’s all be nice to each other, because today, the universe is vast and incomprehensible, we are all suffering, we are all going to die, and we’re all in this together. for today.

i’m busy for a couple weeks with conventions, but after that i’m considering a companion series with ancient extinct animals, so feel free to send me your favorites :)

What does it look like to sail into a blockade, knowing you'll likely be intercepted, attacked or imprisoned? Last year, Al Jazeera was on board the Global Sumud Flotilla to find out. This is the story of the activists on board that flotilla – the sacrifices they made to take the journey, the attacks they endured and the conviction to continue fighting for Palestinian rights.

“Once a dog forms a close relationship with a caring owner, their loyalty can be unbreakable, and they will stick with their owner through thick and thin. And unlike us, dogs don’t pass judgment on people who are down on their luck or homeless. This post is a tribute to homeless dogs, who love and stick with their homeless owners no matter what.

Pet dogs offer vital help to the homeless. They provide them with unconditional love in a time when much of society has turned their back on them and they protect their owners from the many dangers of the streets. Surprisingly, many homeless dogs are relatively well-cared for. Homeless owners will often choose to go hungry themselves rather than see their companion go hungry, although they are often unable to provide their pets with professional veterinary help.” Bored Panda

Not to ruin the vibe, but they also serve as protection from countless (usually) suburban thugs who have no issue with assaulting the homeless.

you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.

Here’s an important snippet from my comic Gringa! on how stereotyping and ignorance can impact POC. 

Sadly yes there are people who don’t take this seriously but we must stop encouraging them to continue this kind of mindset. I used to shrug it off and thought it was just the norm despite feeling very uncomfortable. However, it’s not okay! We must speak up or else we’ll be spoken for by the wrong people. 

You can read more of Gringa! at Gumroad for $3. Hope it’s inspiring enough for yalls to share your own experiences and contribute positive representation of your own background. :) <3
