the shit you do to make a dying phone work when you dont wanna buy a new phone is amazing. my phone no longer charges unless i plug and unplug the charger exactly ten times & then flip the charger around then it works. I dont want to say i have to fuck the port a little bit first but i have to fuck the port a little bit first

fanart of your characters seems to be allowed from what I gathered, but how horny are we allowed to get with it?

iirc carel is a self-insert of yours, so maybe it's weird for randos to be drawing that stuff with your characters

trying my best to be respectful, hope this isn't too weird, I love your comics :)

please god draw whatever you want just make sure to send it to me

i love the word jumbotron. the most american word, beating out any sad contender the likes of “burger”. immediately you get “jumbo”, the most american size; land of the Big Gulp. “tron”, like the movie, implying some vague cybernetic concept that hints at its purpose. then you find out, oh, it’s the giant screen at football games. the thing that sometimes puts you on blast for the most mortifying 45 seconds of your life, if you are so lucky. feel like (or become) a star, however briefly. get your affair blasted on national tv. everything about the word speaks to such an american way of living. huge fan

Fun family story: when my aunt was marrying her wife everyone was really excited but also dreading it because my aunt is known for her insanely long speeches so everyone knew her vows would be like 9 hours long so when it came time for her to say her vows she had a shit ton of cue cards in her hands and even her wife started groaning and my aunt took a deep inhale and then unravelled all the cue cards which were taped together and they all just read ‘HOT DAMN’ in giant letters and those were my aunts vows.

the few minutes between the moment u yap in someones dms and they dont answer and you feel like you should get painfully dismembered for the crime of talking to someone vs the instant relief of normalcy you get when they text back and no ones killed you yet

This article and its opening paragraph is kind of a perfect summary of how it feels to be a Chinese person living in the west

Been thinking a bit more about how on the nose this post was and how evil a lot of the comments on it are over the past day since reblogging it. I so clearly remember when the exact same demographic of my peers that are still currently on tumblr were all in high school, the things we talked about were how physically and psychologically damaging the US school system was. How we loved learning but the homework the schools gave us didn't help us learn, it just felt like pointless busywork that overburdened us with stress and barred us from rest and leisure. How we were all so tired all the time. How it felt like we were being grilled on our obedience rather than our knowledge. How physically or mentally disabled/neurodivergent and otherwise marginalized children who could not keep up with the exact demands of the institution were left behind and punished. And now so many people have the gall to act like the problem is The Kids Are Too Lazy To Learn, as if those problems have gotten lesser instead of significantly exacerbated.

Here are a few very significant things that are different from when us Nineties Kidz were in school:

the quarantine proved that virtual schooling and other forms of making classwork less strict and more accessible were logistically possible, but these institutions just did not want to continue to provide those options.

Being forced back into in-person classes in buildings without proper ventilation and or other precautions long before there stopped being a risk of illness proved that the wellbeing of the students was significantly less of a concern than making sure they were out of the way and corralled properly so the adults could get back to work

The job market has significantly worsened in every sector, and the financial security that was supposedly the carrot to the school system's stick now seems almost completely unattainable. There is no real upward mobility associated with getting into good schools anymore.

The recent political gains of conservatism means it is straight up illegal to teach about basic social inequalities in many high school settings now, and kids aren't too stupid to know that that's happening. when you understand that your educational system is barred from teaching you basic facts about the world you live in because it is politically inconvenient to the current regime, it probably doesn't make you highly value the education these institutions can provide you

so basically on top of all of the ways the school system was fucked previously, they now know that the system does not care about their health and safety, is not capable of offering them a path to a financially sustainable life, and will not teach them about the world with a framework based in our current political reality. So with all of that in mind, i ask you, in what possible world can we expect children to still give their all despite that?

i truly do love learning a ton. i was a rigorous and dedicated student as much as my physical and mental health allowed me to be in high school. dropping to get my GED was undoubtedly one of the single best decisions i've ever made in my life. if you think kids cheating their way through high school are lazy and stupid, then you care more about children's obedience than you do about their wellbeing, plain and simple. have a little bit of compassion for a group of people who are suffering under the current socioeconomic conditions exactly as much as we are but without any of the agency to get to decide what that means for them and their life.

#for real#to add to this i hate AI#and i think it is unethical as hell and cheating for students to use it#but i don't blame them#not when it's such an accessible route to getting more free time and helping get through the day

see this is the thing. this is part of the point i'm trying to make. in what world is "cheating" something that can be meaningfully said to take place within a system that has no structural integrity. i feel like in its very essence, "cheating" requires a two way street, where all involved parties are held to mutually agreed upon standards of behavior.

in order for it to be possible to Cheat at being a student, it needs to be possible to Cheat at being an educator. but there is no such equivalent power dynamic happening in the other direction whereby the educators are held to standards of behavior set by the students. there is only the unilateral enforcement of standards from an authority onto a marginalized demographic of people who do not have the luxury of opting into or or out of these standards.

so once again the phenomenon we are upset about here just boils down to disobedience. i certainly do not think students are Enriching themselves by using AI, but as the post i linked in that first sentence up there says: these kids are trying to survive. what can be said to be unethical about using any tools at their disposal to do that? i dont think they are obligated to try and make the most out of unwilling participation in an institution that is not particularly concerned with whether or not they make it out unscathed or even alive. why do we expect students to have any respect for the mores of a society that has no respect for their autonomy.

polyamory is fun because on the rare occasion that my indomitable bratting pulls through and I end up being the dominant party, afterwards the maid ends up saying something to me like "I don't know what you did to our girlfriend but 🫵keep it up. whatever is going on, you're winning" except it says it more like how it talks usually but like, with that sentiment. and it doesnt 🫵 point like that but i thought it made the sentence more energetic. 🫵. the point is exciting.

So the government calls it Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, the people call it Pridnestrovie... why is the article called "Transnistria"?

Lets look...

Ahhhh yes. I see. It's because it's the name the ethnic nationalists use
