as above, so below

I'm trying not to rewrite my whole personality around this but I did just wake up from a dream where I was told I was "an ambassador of the bloody god" so that was pretty fucking awesome if I do say so myself.

Coding should be able to backfire like magic. Some guy in a polo shirt messes up an equation and turns blue. Person in the coffee shop next to you forgets a semicolon and suddenly they're an inch tall and eternally moving left. You get it.

Recently picked up the first two Strong Female Protagonist compendiums at my local library, (after years of skimming to get the bare minimum of info I needed to contextualize it in larger discussions.) Very cool comic! One very interesting about it is how it was very visibly written when there was still hope

Elaborate.

While a very thoughtful and well-considered comic, it very much felt to me as though it was the product of that second-term Obama optimism that the momentum was generally on the side of progressive politics even if it was still important to think through the specifics on how to most inclusively and equitably steer the ship. Conceived contemporary with Occupy (how'd that go?) and thoroughly pre-Trump tonally. (All of these things are, notably, assumptions shared by a lot of mainstream cape comics that were coming out in the run-up to Trump.) By contrast, most overtly-progressive superhero stories these days are being written (correctly) from within something resembling a siege mentality or from within a burning building, in terms of the basic assumptions that they're making about the world and progressivism's place in it. Contrast, for example, Alison's eventual considered, well-argued decision against pre-emptive political violence against what Absolute Green Arrow has been doing to all those billionaires

see when people try and nitpick me because i call my dog "my dog" when it's technically "the family dog".......well first of all i still call my brother "my brother" and not "the family boy". although maybe that should change. second of all sorry i'm still thinking about the family boy. btw i fell asleep while making this post last night and i think you can tell

isnt it crazy how the moon is a real place you can go to. like you can, theoretically, go there. people have done that. and there's rocks. and dust. and even hills and mountains

hey, sex pervert question: do you ever think about me even when im not present

people aren't even exaggerating indeed is literally like that. walmart attendant $13 an hour, target attendant $13 an hour, AI dick sucker $40 an hour, home depot attendant $13 an hour, guy who designs bullets that can only kill children $160k a year plus benefits, gas station manager $18 an hour

literally the worst way of ending a series is “all the survivors are happily straight married with tons and tons of babies!” 

people still getting mad at this post i made in 2014 so I will add here. in 2026. that the point of this post isn’t “happy endings bad” its when the story’s only way to imagine a happy ending is a heterosexual nuclear family for everyone.

fool me once shame on you. fool me twice shame on me. fool me three times this has gotta be a sex thing for at least one of us

hey. i heard what the devil on your shoulder just told you to do to me. pervert.

The Cake Wrecks blog is one that I miss.
