Watched the last three episodes of _BoJack Horseman_ while stoned. 

Well, fuck, _that_ finally made the season worth watching, didn't it?

OMG I just realized something

Hugh Jackman is an alien infiltrator in a terrible disguise

I mean how else can you explain naming yourself "Jack Human" and then being all "oh shit that's too obvious I better spoonerize that"

Anthology proposal:

"Stories From The Emerald Witch's Trunk".

You know that anthology proposal you loved enough to draw half of despite it not being accepted? This anthology is for that.

Requirements:

* I like it
* You live in Seattle
* You draw an extra intro/outro with a Horror Hostess introducing the story

Deadline:

hell if I know, lemme get some other shit out of the way first

Tired: That moment of hearing a song for the first time and realising one recognises it from a Weird Al parody.

Wired: That moment of hearing a song for the first time and realising one recognises it from a Neil Cicieriga mashup.

PSA: If you see police doing something that's not really OK, take a video of it and share it as far and wide as you can. It's the best thing we as individuals can do to keep police accountable for their actions.

📹RECORD📹 THE 🚨POLICE🚨

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.

Show thread

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!

(For the impatient, the money shot happens just after the seven-minute mark.) awoo.space/media/Y_NKsDB6Q-LZc

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

Ah, that moment on waking and discovering that one had accidentally faved and retooted the wrong toot the previous night.

Hey, who wants to see a cool little animation explaining some of the basics of robotics? youtube.com/watch?v=Io1j-A-U3d

Current music:
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.

Free speech discourse 

Rando: it is important to be open to opinions you do not agree with, to expand your horizons and broaden your understanding

Me: fuck off, berk

Rando: hey now, don't use that kind of language at me!

Me: it is important to be open to opinions you do not agree with, to expand your horizons and broaden your understanding

A quick note on pronunciation: it's ON-tee-fa, as in "Antifaschistische Aktion," which is German for exactly what it looks like.
