i could not eat a dozen fried eggs and would never want to do so. but i almost certainly could accidentally eat a dozen deviled eggs if i was at a party or perhaps a picnic and they were there. they are a highly dangerous food item in this way

here is the thing about steel. and this is a lesson i have learned the hard way. every so often you will decide a grade of steel is your favorite grade of steel. sometimes it's a superalloy and sometimes it's just something regular that you can buy at any vendor ever. and you will put that grade of steel in everything and think your life is hunky dory. and then suddenly someone will discover that your pet grade of steel has some obscure esoteric little problem with it that fucks up your whole day [ie it's way more brittle than you expected, or it becomes magnetic when welded. etc.]. so you freak out and run crying into the arms of another grade of steel, and this one is like shhhh baby don't worry you can trust me i'll never betray you like that. but believe me. they all will. every last one of them.

i have a humble request to all indie comics artists and zine makers: please type your text. your handwriting is unreadably bad i'm sorry. i know it compromises your artistic vision but i cannot read whatever you're writing

pretty much everybody "craves validation" and the fact that many people's lives are so shitty that they get approximately none from any sphere of their life (professional or personal) is imo a big factor in basically every social phenomenon you can point to. it's weird to say "craves validation" is a flaw in a general class of people (or define a group of people by the fact that they do) because it seems to be a fairly basic state of most of humanity
