spotted recently online;
younger or non-English speakers being baffled by the lyrics "Comet! It makes your mouth turn green... Comet! It makes you vomit/So try some comet and vomit today" and assuming, given the "Colonel Bogey March" as context, it was some sort of military thing - possibly the A34, late war upgunned Cromwell.
WA pol, transphobia
I feel that a big danger of the Trump Administration isn't just the bigots-in-chief, but they'll have little nauseating local sycophants eagerly imitating their bigotry - and state politics is a lot easier to screw with than national politics.

Stop, back up, review the basics (uspol, note to self)
1) they are doing this as an intentional, abusive tactic
2) its success hinges on me forgetting I have any future beyond their abuse

But figuring out more how to do this is more important than pushing to get a finished product ESPECIALLY at the cost of half-assing it.
Goodness knows why I sink so much effort into art given I don't think I have any chance of going FT professional anymore, but it's 2025, any joy you can get from not-corporate-Amerikkka is good.
so if Spider-Man is strong (listen bud) because he’s got radioactive blood, and canonically gets skin broken in fights all the time, is that a biohazard, or given say how New Yorkers get exposed to asbestos and lead from walls Rhino, Hobgoblin etc demolish in the same fights, and Galactus just tried to eat the planet, it’s pretty negligible?
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
