The Adventures of Me

I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing, but lets do this!

It’s finally happened.

After almost a decade on this site, I found another Tumblr user in the wild. I stopped to tie my shoe with rainbow laces this morning outside the silversmith at Colonial Williamsburg, and I heard it.

“I like your shoelaces.”

Oh. Oh no.

I responded the only way I could. “Thanks.” And then I reluctantly added, “I stole them from the president…and if that makes sense to you, I’m very sorry.”

The poor man, in full Colonial dress, stared at me for a long moment. And then burst into laughter. And said, “I haven’t thought about that in YEARS and this has never happened to me before.”

Yeah. Me neither. Not until today.

Tumblr rite of passage. Achievement unlocked.

Amazing moments in Dads: my friend’s dad’s critique of Frankenstein was, “I just don’t think the author had read science fiction before.”

i know you're already typing "of course the cookie clicker guy would post that" but i really do have a fondness for exponential automation bootstrapping scenarios. one of my favorite old minecraft modpacks had stuff like solar panels and replicators. what you do is you painstakingly amass the components to create your first replicator (which involves rubber farms, ore quarries, processing lines, etc) and go to great lengths to power it through cranks you have to turn or coal you have to dig up. at some point you build your first solar panel. very slow energy output but it passively powers your replicator for free. what do you replicate? solar panels. you can then craft more efficient solar panels out of those solar panels. your energy output accelerates and so does your replication rate. eventually you're producing so much extra energy that you can justify plugging in a second replicator, and then a third, which you replicated for free. your replicators replicate replicators along with the solar panels that power them. for fun, you drop one diamond in the system and your entire chest network fills up almost immediately with thousands and thousands of diamonds. you will never run out of anything ever again. i don't think that modpack has replicators anymore

I know I already made a post to this effect but it's so baffling to me when someone defends the fact that headphone jacks are slowly but surely getting phased out by smartphone manufacturers with some variations of "wireless headphones are more convenient anyway" bc like. If we're talking about convenience what I like about wired headphones is that they conveniently have a single plug that makes the same damn pair of headphones universally compatible with every single audio-output-capable device I own, from my phone and my computer to my fucking gameboy and my casette player, it doesn't get any more convenient than that.

The hamster way.

Redraw. Dunno if I like this one better, but needed it cleaned/abridged for printing. It would be criminal not to include fan favorite, Unhinged Hamster Woman.

I'm selling a physical compilation of Mouseworld comics at Anthrocon 2026! If you can't make it, digital PDFs are now available!

the difference between interviewing louis and lestat is that louis has spent the past decades ruminating in depressed silence and it’s going to be very hard to say something he hasn’t already thought to himself. daniel can say “have you thought about how your kid’s death was your fault” and louis will be like “extensively.” meanwhile lestat has been living in such avoidance loops that you ask him if he’d stuttered as a child he won’t answer because he needs to have a party drug orgy about it

When the crops are woke

[homunculus-argument]

What do I need to do when people respond to arguments of "you, as an adult, should be capable of making this specific choice for yourself, and can be expected to take responsibility of the consequences" with shit like "but what about my sister's kids, if we let my toddler nieces loose in these circumstances unsupervised, they would get seriously hurt". Like I get that some of you were taught to just skip the words you don't understand and assume that they aren't important to understanding the whole sentence, but how do you not know what the word "adult" means??
