Fun fact! one of Strelka's puppies was named Pushinka and given to JFK as a gift to help ease Cold War tensions. Pushinka later had puppies of her own and her descendants are still living as of 2024.

PISTACHIO TAKEOVER

I've been commissioning chapter art with him/drawing him a lot. The first 3 pics here are by @nathycartoons, the 3 in the middle were drawn by me, and the last one was drawn by me but colored and fixed up by my friend @sorrisoface on instagram ❤️

My favorite grouchy captain. In my story, Vex is actually the more calm/level headed one despite Pistache keeping up the appearance of the stoic, cool, collected captain of The Wandering Star at work. Pistache is prone to spazzing out and losing his temper once he reaches his threshold (which changes depending on the day.) He's a germaphobe and a bit of a control freak, but also an incredibly protective older brother to his sisters who are his squadmates. A lot of his neuroticism is due to the constant pressure of upholding his dad's legacy while keeping his sisters safe in a job that can be dangerous for such little creatures like imps.

As much as I think it would be fun to have emotive anthropomorphic ears, I also recognize I can barely control my facial expressions. Like hell can I keep from Angry Ears-ing during meetings

This is who you’re having a meeting with, by the way.

Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.

It’s recently been found that even hive insects rest. Bees will play with colorful toys. Ants sleep for about 1 minute but they do it so frequently it amounts to a few hours per day. Even trees take breaks.

The only things that work without rest are machines; literally everything that lives requires rest.

EVERYTHING THAT LIVES REQUIRES REST. STOP JUDGING YOURSELF FOR NOT BEING A ROBOT.

[roach-works]

robots require very frequent breaks! welding machines generally have it programmed in that they can’t run so long they melt themselves. ive overseen two different manufacturing robots now and each of them were fragile, finicky idiots that require constant maintenance and repair. they pause in between moves, in between jobs. you’re always keeping an eye on programming errors, on coolant levels, on heat. you’re always pulling bits of scrap out of joints, sweeping up debris, washing off nozzles and untangling hoses. and even then it snaps a chain and takes a whole morning’s vacation.

even robots need downtime.

It is, in fact, normal for you to just want to lay around not producing anything. You’re a mammal. Stop judging yourself for not being a hive insect. /End ID]

Plain text: Everything that lives requires rest. Stop judging yourself for not being a robot.

The only thing — not man, animal, insect, plant, or machine — that demands no rest is capitalism

How I sleep every night knowing that my aroace ass is contributing to falling birth rates:

[pupbuns12]

I've been sterilized since I was 28 ❤️ The day I got my bisalp was one of the best days of my life. I'd never felt such profound relief, and peeving off nazi's is just the icing on the cake

[pupbuns12]

I love this outfit. Adore it. I am so worried it'll get RUINED and that'll be IT. NO MORE. They are no longer in production :') If I were a cartoon character, this would be my outfit. THE outfit.i need it to stay on perfect condition til the end of time. It is a part of me. My beloved.

““When I was about 20 years old, I met an old pastor’s wife who told me that when she was young and had her first child, she didn’t believe in striking children, although spanking kids with a switch pulled from a tree was standard punishment at the time. But one day, when her son was four or five, he did something that she felt warranted a spanking–the first in his life. She told him that he would have to go outside himself and find a switch for her to hit him with. The boy was gone a long time. And when he came back in, he was crying. He said to her, “Mama, I couldn’t find a switch, but here’s a rock that you can throw at me.” All of a sudden the mother understood how the situation felt from the child’s point of view: that if my mother wants to hurt me, then it makes no difference what she does it with; she might as well do it with a stone. And the mother took the boy into her lap and they both cried. Then she laid the rock on a shelf in the kitchen to remind herself forever: never violence. And that is something I think everyone should keep in mind. Because if violence begins in the nursery one can raise children into violence.””

— Astrid Lindgren, author of Pippi Longstocking, 1978 Peace Prize Acceptance Speech (via jillymomcraftypants)

[shamebats]

In 1978, when she received the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade, Lindgren spoke against corporal punishment of children in a speech entitled Never Violence! After that, she teamed up with scientists, journalists and politicians to promote non-violent upbringing. In 1979, a law was introduced in Sweden prohibiting violence against children in response to her demands. Until then there was no such law anywhere in the world.

What a legacy. We’re so lucky to have had her.

[queeranarchism]

“1978 seems late, I wonder when that law was introduced in my country”

[2007, the Netherlands]

Jesus fucking christ.

And of fucking course it’s legal in Belgium, the UK and the US. Could have guessed.

Corporal punishment of children in the United States - Wikipedia

I feel very YIKES about this. These states it is still right now legal to administer corporal punishment IN SCHOOLS. WTF? Apparently spanking is legal everywhere by the parents but in these red states you don’t even have to obtain parent permission to paddle or switch a kid in school. As a teacher I am baffled that this is still the case.

In California striking students with an object is considered abuse no matter who is doing it and a teacher would be fired for striking a child. I have to regularly take trainings on how to identify and report abuse. How the heck is this still allowed?

[byjove]

he has no personality, I cannot think of any 3 ‘interests’ less interesting, which would be fine if he wasn’t also fucking evil

the post went on to detail how he wants her to lose 40 pounds too (she frames it as being due to his interest in fitness and not the fact he is a loser) and all of the commenters are saying “hey, red flag, code red, all of this is bad, not a single good thing about him, he really sucks and he is making demands/setting expectations that are controlling and ridiculous” and she is making edit after edit defending him up and down despite being the one to ask the internet their opinion. I’d never tell anyone to stay quiet about their relationship because that is a surefire way to protect abusers but stop coming online to tell everyone about your evil boyfriend and then express defensiveness and misplaced anger at people giving you advice on an advice forum. just log off if you don’t like the advice.

[silvermoon424]

Women posting about their horrendous deadbeat husbands/boyfriends clearly looking for sympathy only to get defensive when people call out their SO’s horrendous deadbeat behavior is an entire genre at this point 🫩

It actually doesn’t bother me that much considering that it hopefully plants the seeds of a divorce/breakup once the women start reflecting more. But it’s still frustrating to hear someone describe harmful behavior and then get extremely defensive when people rightfully criticize it.

A collection of chapter art for my Imp Inc fan-continuation series all done by @nathycartoons ❤️

Her art has been instrumental in keeping me motivated to keep writing. For whatever reason, that obscure little pilot really struck a nerve with me, and its been my passion project for the last year writing an illustrated fan-revival (while the story has been something I've been coming up with for nearly a decade.)

If anyone ever wants to read my series, it'll be linked right here :)
