It took me ages to learn that privilege is very hard to spot in part because it makes things *easier*, not easy. Being poor instead of dirt poor, having to hide your ethnicity, queerness or disability rather than being unable to avoid any flak you might take for it, waiting for an elevator being an annoyance rather than a necessity.

This stacks badly with a human tendency towards dualisms, and baggage from seeing suffering as virtuous (things which were bad but not miserable get discounted).

then they said "I would. COVID is only killing about as many people as the flu used to, at a rate of about 50K/year in the US, and just as most of the people who used to die of the flu would likely have died of something else anyway, most of the people who die of COVID have other life-threatening conditions. All of these are characteristics of an endemic disease, not a pandemic."

"Hash is legal there, nebbech?"
"100% legal, but they don't want that you should go into a coffee shop, order a nice danish and start puffing away. They want that you should smoke in y'home or certain designated places."

Just one #drawing today, two anthropomorphic adventures - catfolk spellcaster and a canine ranger.

I'm fairly sure Tom Waits is one of the few famous people who got LESS mellow after marriage.

Prior to 1980 his music is all "it's another lonely Saturday and the piano is turning the late afternoon the color of whiskey" and after 1980 there's still nostalgia but now it's mixed with "they found the bodies piled behind the furnace in the basement."

The Coyote Bathroom Oracle! Do the cards tell the future or are they just full of shit?

DJ Thulhu spins those eldrich beats.

“Ya moves like they does,” from the 1936 Fleischer short, “The May-Tricks.”

Apparently I’ve decided to share old stupid stuff that makes me laugh (rather than new stupid stuff that makes me laugh). Thanks for the idea @chimerror!
It’s a common misconception that Lisa Frank was the name of the monster, but in fact that’s the name of the monster’s creator.

Have an old holiday picture. The ghost of Bob Marley visits Scrooge on Christmas Eve and he mellows out a LOT as a result.

THEY SPEAK WITH GUTTURAL CROAKS AND TO HEAR THEM PROVOKES
A PROFOUND DESIRE TO FLEE
THEIR EYES NEVER BLINK AND QUITE FRANKLY THEY STINK
LIKE A CARCASS WASHED UP FROM THE SEA! #ayuh
