Re-reading QC from the start. Noticed this in the background. This strip was made in 2004

I cannot find any info about a band that used this (characters in a music store)

So I present the idea: Jeph Jacques spawned DuoLingo

A more hopeful view from Jeph (the writer and artist).

The characters from left to right are Beepatrice, Bubbles, and Faye.

Let’s talk about another grounding exercise: sight. 

At times, I will dissociate from the moment. The way I’ve found to help combat this is usually to start becoming hyper-aware of what’s around me. I’ll note to myself: “The red light, the green sign, 21st street, red sedan, green truck, the time says 10:31,” on and on, keeping myself within the present moment by focusing so intently on what I can see, to tell myself what is going on. 

Becoming aware of what is around me, reminds me of where I am, and begins to draw me back in. It forces me to acknowledge everything around me, as it moves, how it moves, what it says.

I don’t know why it works. 

I got the idea from a Questionable Content comic where one of the AIs was having a dissociative episode, and it’s worked for me. 

Said comic can be found here: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4354

The context is that the robot had her mind put into another body, and she’s having trouble adjusting to being in that body because it “isn’t her”. 

Focusing on sensations can help to pull you back in the midst of panic, anxiety, or dissociation. I prefer to use sight for it, but all of these methods can be of use.

I just want to say real quick how refreshing it is to see more non-binary characters in media? Steven Universe was the first one I know of to do it and yet more than half of the web comics I read has a non-binary character and honestly it’s the coolest feeling. It’s like every non-binary character makes me feel more like I can come out of hiding. It’s nice. I feel like I’m being included, which is nice. <3

Respect for Questionable Content setting up the classic "allright, then you do it" with Ahn and instead having her tell her dad "screw you!"
