This is just a place where I say things I happen to be thinking about; which is a lot... but I'm really quite terrible at blogging. i make blog software more often than I write blog posts. And stuff... and junk. |
In honor of Children’s Book Week, here’s a photo of an awesome kid.

Costco CEO Craig Jelinek supports raising the minimum wage.
Costco announced record profits today, averaging $10,000 in profit per employee compared to $7,400 at Walmart.
The secret to Costco’s success is paying employees well, providing benefits, and giving them an opportunity to unionize.So large corporations’ excuses that treating & paying workers well would damage profits are all a crock of shit.

This is very important and everyone with content on the internet needs to read this.
And just like that, a little bit of my faith in humanity was restored.

hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women.
also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it.
anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!!
Fantastic.

It’s the little things that make me happy.
“Of course the people don’t want war. But after all, it’s the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or acommunist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, exposing the country to greater danger.” ~ Herman Goering at the Nuremberg Trials
I can’t find the original source, but it’s too good not to share.

I made this today. Acrylic on board.
I play DF. Sometimes I draw my dwarves. It’s fun to try and work the generated character descriptions into a likely visual. This paticular fellow...
I tried doing one of these. I’m not sure if I like it but it was worth learning how, I think.
Spent a slightly uncomfortable amount of time in the company of my own face yesterday.
Today I was browsing more stuff on the old desktop and decided to fiddle around with this painting of Chet from 2005. I’m not as enamoured of the...
