I didn’t realize you had a webcomic, I don’t immediately see anything on your blog about it. Maybe make a pinned post or put a link in your blog description? If you want your followers to read it you need to post more about it because new followers won’t hear unless you’re loud and frequent. What’s your comic called, what’s it about?
Oh, dear! I should post more about it besides the weekly updates yes! (I just get cold feet sometimes).
Imagine you get a job as a building superintendent, and the tentants happen to be the semi-retired forces of the Cosmos, such as the five archangel, and the four horsewomen of the Apocalypse? Well, Joshua still doesnāt know the last part, but the Universe is ready to test his patience and that of his fiancee.

Villain: fool! the prophecy says that no man may kill me!
Trans Man Hero: *ineffectual stabbing*
Trans Man Hero: okay so like. the prophetic acknowledgement of my gender is good but also. very inconvenient right now.
Reformed villain opens a shop where trans men can come and stab them to affirm their gender identity
Alternately:
Villain standing there with a sword through his gut, but for all intents and purposes is unharmed: “Look. I know you might think this is a snarky dig because you’re kind of masculine and, like, you just put two feet of steel in my stomach, but I’m dead serious here. I mean, I’m living serious, which is kind of the issue. But… are you sure you’re a woman? I’m not trying to tell you your gender, and I’m going to keep using feminine pronouns until you tell me otherwise, but the prophecy CLEARLY has some opinions on the matter.”
Hero: “You know, this explains a lot.”
Villain: “You know, my minion benefits package includes gender affirmation surgery.”

So, this hasnāt crossed my dash yet. (Not blaming anyone, there is soooo much going on in the world and Iād also missed it in the noise).
There is currently a strike at Frito-Lay. in Topeka. These workers are striking because:
They were being forced to work 84 hour weeks. The companyās best offer so far is a 60 hour cap. This is shit we fought for a century ago, people.
Their generous offer also includes a whole 4 percent wage increaseā¦over the next 2 years. Iām not sure what COL is in Topeka, butā¦ Well, itās better than the entire 77 cents theyāve apparently gotten in the last decade.
Thereās also a report that a worker literally collapsed and dropped dead on the line and the foremanās response was to make them move the body out of the way and put in a replacement. (However, this is unconfirmed and, of course, the company denies it).
There have been multiple OSHA violations at this plant over the last few years, including a forklift accident thatās under investigation.
Theyāve now been striking since July 5 but, of course, it only hit the national media yesterday.
Because Frito-Lay is refusing to budge. They are attempting to make the excuse that union leadership agreed to the 60 hour work week and crappy pay cutā¦when union leadership only agreed to put it to a vote.
And this means that we need to put the thumbscrews on them. Remember, this is about 19th century style working conditions.
So, Iām calling on my followers to boycott Frito Layās until the strike is involved.
Frito-Lay owns:
Layās
Doritos (Sorry. I really am. I KNOW thereās no good alternative to Doritos, although Zappās are good if you can find them).
Fritos
Tostitos
Cheetos
Ruffles
Sun Chips
Baken-ets
Chesterās
Cracker Jack
Islen plantain chips
Funyuns
Grandmaās (the cookies)
Matador Meat Snacks
Maui style potato chips
Miss Vickieās
Munchies
Munchos
Rolled Gold
Sabritones
Santitas
Simply
Smartfood
Stacys
The Walking Taco
NatuChips
PopCorners (this one wasnāt on their website, but was bought by Pepsiās in 2019 with the intent of adding it. So best avoided just in case).
Yes, this really is more than half of the snack aisle. Suggested alternatives:
Kettle Brand Chips
Zappās (If you can find them. My supermarket had them once and not since, so Iām guessing the culinary cowards in this neighborhood were afraid of āVoodooā flavored chips).
Pringles
On the Border for salsa.
Wise Cheez Doodles
Bugles
Utz
Store own brand alternatives, if your store has ones that are any good.
Cheez-its
Check before you buy and letās tell these people they donāt get to treat workers like that.
This was posted on FB recently by someone supporting the strike!
I know I already posted about this, but hereās more brand info if you wanna boycott. Also other good chip brands are Late July and Boulder Canyon.
just out of curiosity, did the union call for a boycott?
I think I already reblogged this but im gonna do it again because this is a good reminder on how toxic gatekeeping it.
I’m reblogging this for the amount of thought that was put into figuring out the necessary configuration for a mertaur wheelchair.
MMMMM, the LAYERS to this.
She’s technically a monster too. She might not look it at first glance and seems mostly human, but it isn’t deniable even despite her looks compared to the other monsters.
But she realizes that she is still not like the rest of the monsters either and may not have entirely the same experiences as them, which is why she feels that she might not belong to or deserve to go to the support group. By sometimes passing as human, she feels she isn’t worthy of the space.
The sad reality though is even though she’s mostly human in appearance, that tail she has undeniably would still cause her some struggle. Humans are still gonna look at that tail and think she’s a freak. There are probably still accommodations she needs because of the tail that she may still struggle to have access to. Even if it is just the tail, that tail is still enough to other her from humans and cause her problems and discrimination.
She should get to belong in that support group even if she gets told she’s not monster “enough”. She still shares some of the same struggles as them that are caused by being a monster, and needs support.
This is an excellent demonstration of the flaws in the concept of passing privilege. Bravo to the artist.
NOW I will reblog this.
Image description: A comic in seven panels
Panel 1: A wolf man wearing a pale blue polo shirt and dark blue pants faces the viewer. He is saying, “Uh… I’m sorry ma’am, but this is a support group for monsters only.” With his right hand, he gestures to a group of monsters sitting around a table in the background. The monsters are a giant bat, a gorilla, and a dragon. They are facing away from the viewer.
Panel 2: A white woman with blonde hair wearing a pink striped shirt and dark capri pants says with a smile, “Well, actually, I AM a monster.” The wolf man replies, looking skeptically, “… How?”
Panel 3: The woman responds, while looking at the viewer, “Well, you see, my mother was a mermaid and my father was a minotaur.” Above her head, there is a thought cloud depicting a mermaid in a tank holding hands and looking lovingly at a Minotaur who is standing outside of the tank.
Panel 4: The wolf man, still looking dismissive, says, “Riiight. And let me guess: You got the human half from both of them.” The woman responds, “Exactly!” The wolf man says, “Gotcha. Hardy har har.”
Panel 5: The wolf man points and makes a snarling face at the woman, saying, “Ya know, it’s insensitive mockery like this that makes us need these groups in the first place.” The woman holds up her hands defensively, leaning away and looking surprised. She says, “Huh?”
Panel 6: The woman says, “Listen sir, I’m just here to drop off my brother and I’ll be on my way.” She still has a worried expression and gestures to her brother behind her. Her brother has a Minotaur upper half and a fish lower half. He is riding a mobility device. He says, “This guy buggin’ you sis?” while raising an eyebrow.” The wolf man looks astonished.
Panel 7: The woman is shown walking off-panel to the left. She says over her shoulder, “I’ll be back to pick you up at seven.” Since her back is to the viewer, we can now see that she has a tail. Her brother says, “Sounds good, thanks.” The wolf man continues to look astonished.”

Thanks for the image description!
This comic really sums up how I feel as a white passing mixed person
this comic is how I feel as a white passing mixed person, how I feel as an invisibly disabled person, and how I feel as a queer people with complicated/contradictory labels
Damn it. I’m supposed to be watching a TV show and now I’m crying.
This is how I feel as a dynamically disabled person.
I’ve never had the words to describe this like the comic described this.

The artist, btw, who is credited, is pet_foolery at instagram, also the great mind behind Pixie and Brutus and a TON of other comics that are as well thought and deep as this one (while also having some fun with other less deep subjects)
Tl;dr : There’s a new drug that will come out on the US market, but it won’t be available till august. The ALS has created a fund called the “Home Health Care Initiative” to help patients like him. You can donate here.
You know the drill, if you can’t donate, reblog! <3
Parts of Western Germany have been hit with a historical flood that has caused widespread destruction and as of now (Thursday, July 15 2021) has cost 58 lives. (source, source,
source)
Here’s a couple links to places where you can donate. These will be in German, so make sure you have a translating tool at hand.
Deutsches Rotes Kreuz(German Red Cross; not the same as the US Red Cross and considerably less shitty; donations for helpers)
I pulled all of these from official news websites, so they should be legit. I will add to this post if I come across more resources.
The death toll has risen to 81 today (July 16 2021), with 1300 people currently missing. The damages are catastrophic, and the media calls it “the worst flood of post-war Germany”. We’re currently fighting to keep the dams in the area from breaking to prevent even more destruction.
Unfortunately, it seems we’re losing him to Megstiel and Drowley or Dean/Lisa (as in, he sees both, but is so in love with Lisa himself that he admits it’s just because he thinks Lisa deserves the best, and since Dean is the best, well, he’s for Lisa)
On the other hand… he also hates Meg with a passion because she killed Jo, and Jo was his favorite before Lisa so… We will see.
Loved the Twilight episode, but said “That pretty much proves Dean could’ve handled Michael where Sam couldn’t handle Lucifer. Sam would have been drinking blood three seconds after being turned”
LOVED the Fairies episode, Veritas, and of course, the Pizza Man.
Considers the Campbells as the worst hunters in the history of hunters just for NOT questioning Sam Campbell’s return and his work with Crowley.
Still thinks Bobby Singer should be God, as he’s the best hunter ever.
Wonders HOW Crowley got Sam out, given that he was in Lucifer’s cage.
Ah, STILL considers Sam is a whinny baby as he was only a day in Hell (I think he’s in chapter 10, so he still hasn’t heard about the year)
Is now recommending Carry On My Wayward son to ANY friend in Facebook who asks him for a song rec.
Has used at LEAST once the expression “Chuck ex Machina”
In a completely different series, he ACTUALLY asked “wait, I thought a bi character is still bi if he kisses a woman, right? So, Loki is bi, just like Dean, no matter if he ends up with a girl because that doesn’t erase his sexuality?” which, REALLY, you have NO IDEA how much of an advance is with this guy. Seriously, he’s the guy who thought that Xena and Gabrielle were just “good friends” until about three years after the series ended.
Oh, he actually used the Megstiel term! He did a Sam (not knowing) by texting me: Casmeg? Megstiel? to point out he had just seen what Cas learned from the Pizzaman.
So he may not be into slash, but he surely is starting to get fandom and ships!
Honestly, if you can’t be happy with 500 million dollars then maybe the problem is *you*.
I’m pretty sure that 500 million dollars could make you, your whole family, and probably your whole neighbour happy, right after you ended world hunger.
So yeah, give me 100 billion dollars, and I’d spend all that was needed to end world hunger, and then, if I still have more than 500 million, I’d work on end homelessness.
I mean, I am pretty sure NO ONE can spend 500 million dollars on themselves during their lifetime.
