Some time ago (I think in 2021) I had to go see a neurologist over really scary symptoms that resembled seizures. I was a nervous wreck about what I was feeling and had barely slept all week, which seemed to be apparent to the doc’s assistant when I sat down in the exam room for questioning or whatever. Dude was pretty young and soft spoken, around my age. He was laser focused doing something on one of those tablet-laptop Surface things as I spoke, presumably writing down my symptoms.

Midway through talking about my symptoms my voice audibly started shaking as I was describing them, clearly upset.

In the middle of my monologue he turns the tablet to face me, closes whatever program he has open and the wallpaper is this fucking collage of pictures of lord farquaad from shrek, lovingly decorated. Dude just sat there placidly smiling at me until I noticed and stopped dead in the middle of a sentence. We sat there in silence like this for like a solid minute before I started wheezing laughing. Before I could even say anything else or process it he picked up the tablet and wordlessly left the room, and I just sat there dumbfounded until the doctor showed up. 10/10 doctor experience tbh

I didn’t own a cell phone at the time to get a photo so this rendition from memory is all I can provide you

Seeing that Tucker Carlson clip going around and being reminded of conversations a year ago, so just a reminder. When Neo Nazis and White Supremacists say things that make sense politically, they're not coming at it from the same angle as you.

When David Duke expresses support for Palestine, it's not because he cares about Palestinians, it's because he hates Jews, and he wants to use Israel to harm diaspora Jews.

Neo Nazis see the justified opposition to Israel and its actions as a path into new crowds they can radicalize, or a way to launder their rhetoric and their politics.

They don't care about Iran and Iranians, they have a goal, and it's just as horrible as any White Supremacist goal. Especially when it's political figures and not some random bigot you know in your life that can be deradicalized because he's having some epiphany. To right wing figures, everything is a hunting ground.

Don't spread their words as if "even that horrible person sees how bad this is." Fascists have been stealing leftist ideas and talking points since the beginning. He doesn't suddenly care about people of color. He's seeing an opening for something and he's grabbing at it.

You have people you can platform that don't spread rhetoric that enables hate crimes on a regular basis.

i hope luigi mangione is proven innocent & gets to sue a ton of companies for slander and win & i hope he gets enough money to rebuild his life and get any help for his chronic pain that he needs & i hope he’s able to disappear from the public eye entirely if that’s what he wants

why bother caring about the environment when 1. It’s so obviously a lost cause and 2. There’s definitely going to be a nuclear war?

And what are you doing about it Anon? Learn about ecological restoration or get out of my way.

My favorite Naruto fanfic trope: there is one (1) braincell in Team 7 and if Kakashi isn't holding it, Sakura is, no one else

You are so so correct anon. I just had to visualize it hehe >:3

Kakashi’s lame, sloppy and unreliable persona in adulthood is so special to me. It’s really the most radical thing he does to reject the expectations on him and to make up for his past.

This guy is inherently such a serious person. He’s sharp, incredibly intelligent and with years of experience under his belt. He’s a venerated legend and known to basically every ninja in the world. He’s a war vet. The list goes on.

Yet he chooses to present himself as non-threatening. He slouches, is chronically late, lets other people bully him into situations, reads Icha Icha in public and doesn’t fight too hard when his genin team drag him into antics.

After he drops the whole tough guy act with Team 7 early on in the series, he’s surprisingly patient and gentle with them. He answers their questions, calmly corrects them and rarely ever gets mad.

He’s a thousand percent a shambolic mess when he’s first introduced and yet he tries to get it together enough to support team 7. He tries to be there for them.

Without the context of his backstory, Kakashi is still a really compelling character. But when you put it all together, it really does feel quite miraculous that he can be such a loser adult. He didn’t let himself get hardened when it would’ve been so easy to do so. He remains gentle. And I really standby the fact that he is gentle and kind. Those are traits that really shine through to me.

I find myself wondering how he would’ve shown up for team 7 if the Chuunin exams didn’t happen so early in the series. He didn’t really get that much time with them without one major crisis after another. In a way, all the other Jounin senseis got to ease into their role, some even had years but I don’t think Kakashi ever got that.

i think star trek should write an in universe reason why some series don’t have swearing and some do. make it a universal translator glitch or something.

*crawls out of the pit*

Part 2 of silly 1 panel comics I made featuring Naruto fic tropes (and fandom head canons) I enjoy that make me giggle a lil :) !!!!!

Niche edition, so bare with me-

Naruto doing fox things randomly (thank you @alternitavely )

T&I being the home of Konoha’s rumour mill, and specifically Aoba and Anko being PROLIFIC gossipers (Ibiki pretends to hate it but he doesn’t stop them)

Not from a fic but @oh-no-its-bird turned me on to the concept of Sakumo Hatake being a sex symbol back in the day and it haunting Kakashi. It has not left my head since.

Alright that’s it, if I can think of more I might do this series semi-periodically but we’ll see 🤷‍♀️

Also thank you so much for liking part 1 of this series, it makes me so happy that people enjoy my brainworms <3

‘Till next time byee~

Hi!! Do you have any good articles on Bill C-2?

[non-operator]

Whew boy, this comic took me two whole days to finish, I hope you like it! :)

Sorry this is annoying. Why is it that when the bad guys run out of usable Pokemon, they’re fine and continue their evil plans, but when *I* run out of usable Pokemon, Professor Oak rises from the grave and knocks me the fuck out with a sock full of batteries and I wake up in the Poke Center?
