This Real Estate Agent is a Genius.
People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.
Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.
Actually, I realized my real point here: we all need to make our art weirder. Please make weird art. I want more stuff like Prequel Adventure and 17776 and MyHouse.wad and I want it now. Capitalism thrives on conformity. We must be weird at all costs.
thank you scherz et al. for bringing us the frogs Mini ature, Mini mum and of course, the Mini scule
Glad to see we made one scientist very happy
"... “I’m taking action because I feel desperate,” said U.S. climate scientist Peter Kalmus, who along with several others locked himself to the front door of a JPMorgan Chase building in Los Angeles. A recent report found that the financial giant is the biggest private funder of oil and gas initiatives in the world.
“It’s the 11th hour in terms of Earth breakdown, and I feel terrified for my kids, and terrified for humanity,” Kalmus continued. “World leaders are still expanding the fossil fuel industry as fast as they can, but this is insane. The science clearly indicates that everything we hold dear is at risk, including even civilization itself and the wonderful, beautiful, cosmically precious life on this planet. I actually don’t get how any scientist who understands this could possibly stay on the sidelines at this point.” ..."
Corporate media will not cover the climate crisis.
Hey. Gentiles. Listen up for a sec.
When September and October are nearing and you’re planning an event: google “Rosh Hashanah *year*” and *Yom Kippur *year*” and then, and I cannot stress this enough, don’t plan your event on those days. In fact, don’t plan any events starting sundown the night before. Those are the three most important days of the Jewish calendar, and, once again, I cannot stress enough how much this little bit of forethought and kindness will make every Jew you know cry tears of joy.
Rosh Hashanah is September 16th, 2033
Tom Kippur is September 25th, 2023
you’ve been told’t
jesus fucking christ
"i wish i could do something 😔 / i wish the wga had a kickstarter or a gofundme, i would throw money at it" good news! it's amazing how you can literally go onto the wga strike website or the wgawest linktree from their twitter and find links to support writers and other workers affected by the strike

Which path should he choose?
The path of the warrior, the path of the scholar, or the path of the artist?
he should wander away and have a picnic while he thinks about what path to choose
Great idea! But where should he have the picnic?
Under the tree, or under the old fort?
By the sea, so he can enjoy the sound of the waves
A lovely choice!
Should he build a sandcastle to pass the time? Or perhaps go fishing?
Perhaps he could collect shells he finds interesting
Sounds fun!
Which shell should he pick up?
This one
That's not a shell, it's a tiny earpiece.
Should he listen to music? Or to the mysterious pre-recorded message?
He should give it back to the crab in the largest shell, they thought they had lost their wave-pod and are grateful he found it!
The crab wants to give a gift in return.
Should he accept the gift of power, or the gift of knowledge?
the gift of friendship :)
Friendship acquired!
Should they celebrate with pizza or ice cream?
The crab friend cannot eat either of those! Let's split a nice seaweed salad instead. :)
So many options!
Should they get tossed salad, wiggly salad, or spiky salad?
Seasar salad
Nothing beats getting it straight from the source
Should they use scissors or claws to cut the seaweed?
What about that sword in the first panel?
The circle is complete.
Through choices, friendship, and salad, he found his way to the path of the warrior. But he won't walk it alone.
Their path is just beginning, but this story is over.
Thank you to everyone who participated!
This is somehow both the epitome and antithesis of "yes, and" and it FASCINATES me
"No, and"
if you got like a 100kilo bag of glitter and opened it up and left it in the path of like a tornado i think that would be interesting. i dont care abt ecological damage btw
I do. 100kg bag of seaweed based glitter.
i dont. 100kg bag of enriched uranium based glitter
wait isnt uranium denser than lead how heavy would a 100kg bag of uranium be
thyrell.
just kill me
I do love the phrase executive dysfunction bc the image it conjures is of a bunch of people wearing business suits around a long oval conference table arguing with each other to the point where they’re getting into physical fights, but in the background there’s just a big empty whiteboard with a To Do list with one item on it and that item is “take shower”
I think we should bring back that thing everyone did in 2014 where you badly photoshop two characters from entirely different media together to look like they’re in love. This is my proposal for doc ock x glados please consider
It's a horse girl movie but they both think the other is the horse
Short-staffing has become a major problem in all sectors. Retail, food service, health care, education, factory production lines, call centers, child care, IT, office support staff, etc. Every corner of our society and economy.
Now we know that even in creative spaces employers are not willing to hire sufficient staff to accomplish necessary tasks, demand workers do more than their fair share of work, for longer hours, without fair compensation or reasonable breaks/time off.
This needs to stop.
"do you seriously think you're above the rules" the stupid ones yeah
if you want me to follow the rules you have to make sure they're not stupid. this isn't a difficult concept to grasp.
today's "elderly parishioner out for a stroll" adventures was that we ran out of leo's medicated dry food which is 99% of the time the only thing he'll eat so rather than leave him pacing and restless while i went to go pick up the new bag i brought him with me on his leash to the vet and to the pharmacy and he's usually in his crate for those errands but it's too hot to deal with the crate and everyone was like "your cat is unbelievably, ridiculously well behaved" as he sat perfectly contently in my arms in his harness on his leash while i paid for stuff and got to say hi to some of his favorite people who got to scratch him and he was soooooo happy and then when we were done he
HAULED ME AROUND OVER HALF OF AN ENTIRE WHOLE-ASS CHICAGO CITY BLOCK
just like yes. we are taking a walk now. dragged me off down a major street (unbothered by cars, trucks, passers-by) (exciting a small child in a stroller who kept pointing and going KITTY CAT! IT'S A KITTY CAT!) then down the residential street next to it (he saw a dog. the dog was very excited. the dog's owner commented that he was a very good kitty cat) then off and around and chasing some butterflies then tried to go up someone's driveway before i finally picked him up to head home bc it was honestly pretty hot and even then he still walked most of the way back to the car, got back into the car, stuffed his face into the air conditioning and closed his eyes fur blowing in the wind in absolute bliss and then sprawled out on my passenger seat like the world's most relaxed creature
when we got home he wanted to walk home his usual route to patrol his territory, but he was so tired he made it as far as our front walk and then just flopped onto the sidewalk and i had to carry him home. he ate about half a cup of his food and has gone and laid down and passed out.
he's been in remission from his cancer for two years this month.

Spellcasters hate this fact but if you just stick your fingers in their mouth while they're casting a spell with a verbal component it's literally more effective than a counter spell.
This also works with pinning their hands against the wall when they're trying to use somnatic components.
Basically if you make out sloppy style while pressed against a wall the spellcasters can't do anything
this collar isnt a sex thing it's so the scientists who are studying me know where i am
The scientists studying me is definitely a sex thing though.
one of the stupidest gripes i have with totk is that fact that they call the tears "secret stones" . that's so dumb. "he wanted to keep u from finding my stone ...my secret stone" bro u sound like a kindergartner playing superhero rn

Wow I'm weirdly unhappy and there's no reason for it I'm sure this has nothing to do with any sort of biological process my body has regularly undergone for years now
By Talos this can't be happening
