@anthracite oh wow, the bigger pages are letting me see much more of the detail too, and it's *fantastic*. yeeee!!

grah 

WoW patched and is down, Pokemon GO isn't letting me log in, I have to take Razi to the vet at 4 so I can't take a nap, GRRRAAAAHHHH. *grumples*

@zebratron2084 oh ya ya fer shur. XD this is the first time in my life that I've lived with just one other person, and the idea of it scared me for a long time--I thought I'd get super paranoid or lonely, but in a lot of ways it's been *lovely*. I'd be totally happy to blither on about it at great length! ;)

@zebratron2084 @woozle in fact... having at least the dialogue captioned in plain text under the comic would be very helpful for many readers. or even having short descriptions of the scenes on the pages, as White Noise white-noise-comic.com/ does, adds a lot--there are many times it's helped me understand what's happening in a panel, or what I'm supposed to be paying attention to. and I'd love to volunteer to help with that! ;)

@zebratron2084 yessss. this. I went through this when I was working from home and my Big Happy Poly Home collapsed, then collapsed again, then evaporated. since then I've learned to seek out contact when I feel I need it, but tbh my (analog-space) social needs have diminished significantly, and I am Totally OK With That.

You know, to be perfectly honest, if you REALLY want to do something to help my mood, there's something very specific I can ask for...

Go to egypt.urnash.com/parallax/ and tell us what you think. Constructive criticism, especially a DETAILED "I don't get what's going on here and here" would be super-welcome. And tell your friends.

We don't expect you all to read it regularly, but man, if anyone finds our work interesting -- or can explain why it's not -- I could sure stand to hear it today.

@zebratron2084 @Balinares oh hon, I know that feeling too damn well. there is definitely a future... though it may be hard or painful to see from here. much, much empathy and many hugthoughts.

@anthracite @Leucrotta yessss. in particular "Head Like a Hole" has specific coming-of-age associations, especially once I heard the Devo version...

relationships, - 

@Kistaro oh hon. much, much empathy and gentle thoughts.

mh stuff (--); extended metaphor; an single (1) swear 

@packbat that's... an interesting way of looking at things, hmm. but yeah, alllll this. much, much empathy.

@Elizafox I just do not understand that argument either. it's right up there with "made-up words"--as opposed to words we found growing on a hillside all organic and shit? if enough people use it over time that it comes into common use, it's just as much a "real word" as any other damn word we use.

Raziel snuck up on the watermelon very very stealthfully and took a lick... and then jumped backwards nearly off the desk, shaking his head and making "BLEH! BLEH!" faces. that'll teach him. I am laughing so hard right now, and he's running around squeaking indignantly. XD

omg ripe refrigerated watermelon chunks shove them all in my mouf RIGHT NOW OMNOMNOMNOM *dribble*

It is warm and hot and all the native Seattleites are whining about it on Reddit and I am just grinning happily. Here is some advice from a Southerner who's stuck up here: 

@anthracite actually on the Sound it's not that bad; the waters are so incredibly deep, and so cold most of the year, it keeps the surface temperature lower than it would be on a typical lake. if you ever get the chance you should take a Ducks tour (if you haven't already)--cheezy but informative! XD

Hi.

Please do not shame people for existing under capitalism.

This includes shaming people for not participating in a boycott you're privileged enough to be able to participate in.

Thanks.

@Soreth @starkatt this is probably going to happen in somewhat slow-motion, as in I don't expect it to be a thing until autumn at the earliest, barring some kind of miraculous windfall, but I will definitely include y'all on my notice list for whatever happens! XD
