I’m not anti-technology, I just think there’s something deeply sick about a society where robots make art and children work in factories.
The golf links lie so near the mill That almost every day The laboring children can look out And see the men at play.
(Sarah Norcliffe Cleghorn, c. 1910.)

stop believing that you ran out of time to shape yourself into who you want to be! stop believing that its ruined! stop believing you don’t have potential! you are not a fixed being! you have endless opportunities to grow.
Any time I feel the grip of anxiety that I’m too old or don’t have time to do something with my limited hours after work, I just remember the wisdom of the ancients:
this 50′s hungarian comic strip I’d never heard of until now is so damn cute for something that also gets so horny
It helps that the writer was trying to create something he hoped would appeal to women as much as men.
Yeah and I think where it really succeeds vs. modern anime wifey fantasy shit is that Jucika really is just a character super comfortable with being sexual, likes looking sexy and even has no shame in using it to get her way:
….But at the same time, she doesn’t tolerate being objectified against her wishes:
….And the comic takes her side in both cases, whereas I’ve seen countless modern narratives in which this same character would have only been framed as like a Slutty ™ Bitch ™ or full blown villain.
One of the things I also really like about this comic, besides what’s already been stated, is that the humor isn’t always about her being sexy. Sometimes it’s just about other goofy things in her life!
oh yes many of them are experienes just anybody can relate to
but then there’s also the time she just….built a functional AI?
she just didn’t predict how the robot rebellion would really manifest
I love how there isn’t a single dialogue bubble, yet you can fully understand what’s happening.
Always reblog Jucika.

THE ACTUAL NEWS
I read an interview with this guy (who is a real news anchor), and he said he told his acting agent that he is ONLY interested in parts where he plays a new anchor. This is no coincidence. This is by design.
what is his plan
We won’t know until it’s too late.
According to the FDA, xylitol may also be referred to as “wood sugar, birch sugar, and birch bark extract.”
[ID: a message in neon blue and pink lettering that reads: CALLING ALL DOG OWNERS: The doctors and team at Bryan Animal Clinic want you to know that the artificial sweetener xylitol is now being marketed as “birch sugar.” Xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs and can cause liver failure. It is commonly found in peanut butter, chewing gum, and ice cream. /end of ID]
look sometimes we just gotta own that there are entire dimensions of romance straight people don’t understand, and it is my duty to help illuminate that truth

I think I already reblogged this but im gonna do it again because this is a good reminder on how toxic gatekeeping it.
I’m reblogging this for the amount of thought that was put into figuring out the necessary configuration for a mertaur wheelchair.
MMMMM, the LAYERS to this.
She’s technically a monster too. She might not look it at first glance and seems mostly human, but it isn’t deniable even despite her looks compared to the other monsters.
But she realizes that she is still not like the rest of the monsters either and may not have entirely the same experiences as them, which is why she feels that she might not belong to or deserve to go to the support group. By sometimes passing as human, she feels she isn’t worthy of the space.
The sad reality though is even though she’s mostly human in appearance, that tail she has undeniably would still cause her some struggle. Humans are still gonna look at that tail and think she’s a freak. There are probably still accommodations she needs because of the tail that she may still struggle to have access to. Even if it is just the tail, that tail is still enough to other her from humans and cause her problems and discrimination.
She should get to belong in that support group even if she gets told she’s not monster “enough”. She still shares some of the same struggles as them that are caused by being a monster, and needs support.
This is an excellent demonstration of the flaws in the concept of passing privilege. Bravo to the artist.
NOW I will reblog this.

A seven-panel comic that was digitally drawn by @/pet_foolery on Instagram.
Panel 1: A werewolf in a light blue shirt and jeans stands with a clipboard in hand, eyes looking off toward the side of the panel. Behind him in the background are three other monsters , a gargoyle, a Bigfoot-esque character, and a green lizard, all on a white background. The werewolf is commenting “Uh… I’m sorry, ma'am, but this is a support group for monsters only.”
Panel 2: The panel zooms back to show only the werewolf and the person he’s talking to, a light-skinned, blond-haired woman with a pink shirt and black pants with a typically “Karen” haircut. She looks like a regular human. The woman replies “Well, actually, I AM a monster.” The werewolf questions, “How?”
Panel 3: The panel has a close up of the woman’s face as she talks, a thought bubble over her head as she explains “Well, you see, my mother was a mermaid, and my father was a minotaur.” In the thought bubble is a mermaid in a tank, holding hands with a minotaur standing beside it as they gaze lovingly into each other’s eyes.
Panel 4: The panel has zoomed back out to show both the woman and the werewolf, the werewolf looking irritated. “Right.” He replies, the “i” stretched out sarcastically. “And let me guess: you got the human half from both of them.” The woman replies, “Exactly.” “Gotcha. Hardy har har.”
Panel 5: The panel zooms into another close up where only top top halves of the woman and werewolf are present, the werewolf leaning in and angrily pointing a finger at the woman. “Ya know, it’s insensitive mockery like this that makes us need these groups in the first place.” The woman looks bewildered at the statement, her hands up almost defensively as she reacts with “Huh?”
Panel 6: The panel draws back out to reveal the two full-bodied again, this time adding a third character standing behind the woman. “Listen, sir. I’m just here to drop off my brother and I’ll be in my way.” She gestures to the person mext to her. He’s a monster like the werewolf, with a mermaid tail and a bull torso/head. He wears a Chicago Bulls jersey with the number 23 on the front, perched on a specially-made wheelchair that helps him move around. He looks annoyed, asking “This guy buggin’ you, sis?” The werewolf is looking at the mino-mermaid in shock, silent.
Panel 7: The woman is walking off the left side of the panel. With her back showing, a bull tail can be visible that wasn’t seen with her front facing out toward the viewer. She glances back at her brother, commenting “I’ll be back to pick you up around seven.” The mino-mermaid glances back at her with a smile, “Sounds good, thanks.” The werewolf is still in his shocked silence, watching her walk off.
