hell if I know, lemme get some other shit out of the way first
THIS IS A MAGICAL TOOT. IT WILL WIPE ALL YOUR FILES. IT WILL ALSO EAT YOUR HEAD.
Okay, not really, but if the thought of losing everything on your phone, computer, tablet, or whatever is more panicking than, "Ugh, gotta restore from backup," then you are definitely overdue for a backup, friend.
Sadly, there's little to be done for your head. If you want anything from your brain preserved, say or type or draw or otherwise express and record it while you can.
THEN MAKE A BACKUP OF THAT, TOO.
quasi-politics/silliness
First they came for the nationalists, and I did not speak out!
Then they came for the capitalists, and I did not speak out!
Then they came for the worshippers of mighty Cynothoglys the Mortician God, and I did not speak out.
Then they came for me, and found only a mass of writhing organs, topped by one glowing eye! It cast a beam of primal rot, glistering, unholy with ultraviolet motes, and incinerated them! Ia! Ia! Cynothoglys ia vulgtlagln syha'h! Vulgtlagln n'ghft!
cw: politics, inordinate optimism
I mean, I've been a radical leftist for about a quarter of a century now. I essentially went steady with Karl Marx's pet coyote for fifteen years. ( Miss you. <3 ) I remember when about a quarter of my friends were libertarians, because about half of nerds were libertarians. I remember getting mocked on Livejournal for proposing general strikes.
Now they're talking about basic income and LGBT rights in fuckin' Forbes. There is real positive change happening.
Hunh. Turns out that a cousin of mine I haven't seen since a family reunion when she was six years old has since become an accomplished illustrator with gallery showings in the US and a few European countries. Her medium of choice?
Etch-A-Sketch.
Henlo frens!
I made an AntiFa Illustrator template that you can use to make your own AntiFa logo for your local region! It's all in vector so it scales beautifully. Great for stickers! Please feel free to use and share!
Some folks _make_ explosions.
Gav and Dan _queer_ explosions.

a very concise political analogy
The Tick : Arthur :: Antifa : me
I am on your side 100%. You have stirred my heart in the battle against Evil and I am committed to the fight. I'm just a little nervous about the fact you want to go straight in through the wall, even as I slowly, dazedly gain faith in the unstoppable hardness of your heads. O_o
This is pretty neat. The shared symbols between Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic writing systems

Hey, who wants to see a cool little animation explaining some of the basics of robotics? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io1j-A-U3dg

Peter Gabriel (fourth self-titled album, a.k.a. _Security_)
Wow, it's kinda crazy to look at the ReplayGain values for these tracks. Not a single negative value – meaning no dynamic compression to make everything as loud as possible, meaning a very pleasant listen on headphones in a relatively quiet room. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
