Upon the Distinction Between the Ashes of the Various Tobaccos

why BORROW one when i can MAKE you one instead? 😊

perfect boy .

Like. You don't need to blow it into some huge thing. Just. Make sure all your bits and peices still work the way you think they do.

Just saying, bodies are a use it or lose it kinda thing.

So like. Thinking real hard about moving doesn't count as moving. Major bummer. Anyways. Joints.

Later on: "Anyway, even if she WAS the only son, that's not her problem, that's THEIR problem. They should have had more sons if they were going to be bothered about it."

I can already envision him as an ancient lord of a powerful house looking down his nose at the latest messenger bringing gossip from the house of his offspring’s friend and going “now they have a daughter to marry into another family for powerful alliances and two sons to take over her former duties and somehow they’re still complaining about their good fortune? They shall not survive the winter.” and then sipping his tea with all the grim satisfaction of someone about to watch an unnecessary soap opera of drama unfold from a safe distance or something

When I first spoke to my mom about trans issues, still closeted at the time, she said, "I don't understand why they feel the way they do, but they aren't hurting anyone so don't bother them. They are normal people just minding their own business." I said, "I agree, but on the topic of not understanding: Mom, do you think that when we reincarnate, we are always born into a body of the same gender?" In Buddhist stories, there was a lifetime in which Guanyin was reincarnated as a cow or ox, and in repayment for my birth, my dad does not eat beef till this day. Gender or species isn't constant in the cycle of rebirth. My mom said, "No, you're right. Whatever thing that carries on has no gender. I was probably male, human or animal, in one of my past lives." And she has supported trans rights even more ever since.

Other comic strips I think about all the time: this one Calvin and Hobbes arc where he gets an alien to impersonate him in class. Every single time I bring a packed lunch to work I look straight down the metaphorical camera and think "Lunboks:)"

The fuckin hold this single comic panel has had on my psyche for almost 20 years now
