I've been looking for a fun/quick little animation sideproject to flex my frame-by-frame muscles, so introducing Margie! A cat-goose dragon based on this little fella from this medieval manuscript

making the radical claim "11 year old children should be taught how to make extremely simple food" has resulted in people making arguments like "I wasnt allowed to plug in electronics until I was 16 and I think this is super normal actually" and "children dont know what ratios are so its unfair to expect them to be able to comprehend the idea of adding equal amounts rice and water to a rice cooker" and I gotta say originally I thought maybe I was being too judgy but now I feel very secure in my opinion because what the fuck

it's so crazy to me cause I thought it was normal for kids to help with cooking from time to time. I started when I was 5 or 6, maybe even younger?

there are so many things that are just fun tasks for a kid to do. shucking corn, picking lentils clean, making dough (with direction lol), mixing batter. just fucking going to town with a mortar and pestle, like seriously you can give kids the ability to smash shit helpfully and productively. when they're a bit older there's peeling potatoes/carrots/etc and supervised knife use for veggie cutting. stuff I used to while sitting and watching tv. I can't emphasize enough that this is something kids have been doing Forever throughout history

#agreeing on everything here EXCEPT #shucking corn is not fun its awful #the little corn hairs get all over u sensory hell world

Comedians in the '70s and cartoons in the '90s: weird how your kids can watch violence and murder on TV but the FCC wants us dead if we say the word nipple.

Internet users in 2025: you didn't warn me that there would be erotic themes in the game you just mentioned which is fucked up because I thought it was going to be a normal "morally struggle with killing people" game but now it's gone too far :-/

A lot of you are playing into a lot more reactionary of hands than I think you would like when you act like tits are more shocking than gun violence.

We need to call people posers again. We gotta. We just gotta. No you aren't a countercultural weirdo because you made a battle jacket, you get tangibly viscerally uncomfortable if someone is breast feeding in public and that is incredibly square of you.

#and ive always said this #like sorry you cant be shocked by 'unnecessary sex scenes'#if ur also like 'yay yippee gratuitous violence!'#like sex and nudity r actially common parts of the human condition #beheading people not so much #both r cool in movies though #actually both are cool irl too #guillotine back in fashion when?

Responding to escalating clashes between civilian activists and militarized immigration authorities, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass publicly urged protesters Monday not to give the Trump administration any pretext for what they’re already doing and will keep doing no matter what. “Angelenos—don’t engage in violence and give the administration an excuse to inflict all the damage they have been inflicting carte blanche for months on end,” said Bass, adding that Trump and his team are just looking for a reason to respond with violence, as they would have done whether or not any of this happened.

If you're wondering why I haven't been around much, surprise! | live in South Minneapolis where things have been pretty bad. BUT my South Minneapolis friends and neighbors have been wonderful. I love my neighborhood and my city. We keep us safe.

For Minnesota residents, Defend612 has some great resources in the links.

ALSO if you're a cartoonist or a comics person, I invite you to journal your experience of how ICE has impacted your life with your own four-panel comics! I'd love to connect with you.

Stay frosty, but abolish ICE.

This is a safe space for all of your fainting stories

#several times #once I tripped and then stood and walked a few feet and fainted face first in the mud #once I was running and hit my hand on the corner of a picture frame and sat down and STILL managed to faint face first into the ground #another time was just heat stroke at a roller coaster park #then it's been once or twice while getting my blood drawn #and sometimes when I throw up I'll faint also #... realizing that's a lot of times tbh #polls

the persecution of lefthandedness is insane to think about because it was so intense for so long, in some places still is, without any clear profit motivation. sheer love of the game. as late as the 70s at least they were smacking my stepdad's hands for it with a wooden ruler at school, to this day he's in weird ambidexterity situation where he's not great with either side and notably clumsy due to poor hand-eye coordination. just wtf

It is fascinating to me that people also think of handedness as an example of bigotry that just...went away. As you note, it...hasn't in some places. I know people who grew up in the mid-late 90s who still had this problem.

But also, and this is really important to keep in mind regarding bigotry that still causes in many ways larger problems, that the structural problems are not actually fixed.

If you go to any computer lab or public library, the mice will be on the right side of the computer. Sometimes they can be moved. Sometimes they can't. Many computer mice are curved to only fit in right hands.

It is impossible to find lefthanded scissors without going to a specialty store, because most scissor makers don't even make them. And it's not just a matter of grip; the slicing side of the blades is obscured if you use righty scissors in your left hand, so your cut is off.

All those signing pads with the little chained styluses? Almost always on the right side, often not even long enough to stretch to the left. Makes signing for lefties extremely difficult.

I caused actual muscular problems in college having to twist around in order to write at right-handed desks in college when there weren't enough lefty desks--and there never were. Some classrooms didn't even have a single one.

I could go on.

But the point is, bigotry isn't just a mindset shift. People can't just decide they're not bothered by that particular difference anymore and everything's fine, because society is still structured and designed to cause problems for marginalized people. And they're never even going to notice all the little ways their life is bent to convenience them that inconveniences others.

#i work at a coffee shop and a lot of the equipment is made to be used by right handed people #you rlly wouldn't think about it until it's just like 'oh uh hm that's harder for me to maneuver'#kind of wild
