Glad you all liked my most recent kpdh comic so much haha!

Got a lot of (positive!) comments about Rumi's arms though, which is funny to me because I wasn't intentionally trying to draw her muscular? But I think I just do it as a force of habit at this point 💀

SO here's a quick warm up I did for you all lol

CALL YOUR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES. THE H.R. 1 BILL CANNOT PASS.

This bill will gut Medicaid and Medicare, resulting in 19.5 million people losing health insurance. These will be the poor, the disabled, the elderly. They will be left high and dry, and people will suffer.

This bill also imposes a 10 year moratorium on states regulating AI; this will allow the AI industry to grow unchecked.

It will triple the ICE budget and turn the current mass deportation efforts into the stuff of nightmares.

This website allows you to easily locate and call your representative; there is a script provided, and it tracks the bill's alterations and progress as well.

We cannot allow this to go through. Make your voice heard!!!!

what ppl defending kids on ipads don’t seem to understand is that there are other ways to keep kids occupied. my mom had a whole bag full of little toys and games for me to play with while waiting in lines at disney world. once your kid is like 7 or 8 they can read a book. they can color. or they can literally just sit there and imagine things. i did that a lot as a kid.

[pangolinsandnewts]

Well that's interesting

Here's the link

I found the ending a little cheesy but it's cute that Kai voluntarily told wyldfire

Also I think it accidentally implied that Kai didn't want to tell someone

Also Kai definitely does art therapy

It's also good that Kai is more willing to tell someone a dark or traumatizing part of his life

when I was a kid I never realized this strip was a parody of some old child safety psas (“it is now 10pm. do you know where your children are?”) and that honestly made it funnier because it looked like calvin was doing this for no reason

[pangolinsandnewts]

Okay I’ve snapped.

If you say Percy Jackson is stupid I will find you and make sure you regret it.

I have inattentive type ADHD. I was diagnosed in 4th grade and got put on medication. I did not think there was a difference but I got an award from the school for how much I improved. They didn’t know it was because of meds.

Before I was diagnosed I remember being on the verge of tears often at school because I got so frustrated that I couldn’t do work. I sat at my desk with the pencil in my hand staring at a worksheet physically unable to write the awnser I knew. I would stare at the question and like an optical illusion the rest of the page blurs together and I can’t even make out word anymore.

I thought I was dyslexic for the longest time because some fonts are so difficult for me to read. I could look at a recit, know it says lettuce, and it will not process in my brain. Unless I am a few hours away from a deadline it is nearly impossible to start assignments. Essays are hell.

You know those songs that have an American accent but are completely nonsense? That’s what it sounds like a lot when I listen to people talk. Usally I can grasp the general meaning but I can not tell you what word you just said.

Time is not real. I sit down, scroll through tumblr for maybe 15 minutes and my roommate asks why I’m sitting doing nothing for 4 hours straight. Full days disappear and I can’t remember anything that happened. I have no idea how long it takes me to do something I do almost every day.

I went two weeks at the beginning of the semester with meds that where 10 milligrams lower than my usual dosage. My grades still haven’t recovered.

THAT SAID. In cannon, Percy Jackson passed 13 years of school with high enough grades to be accepted to a university. Not medicated. Without accommodations.

So either the education system in New York is taylored specifically for people with ADHD, or Percy Jackson is a fucking geinios. I can’t spell.

So ignoring the fact that nearly every fight he won by outsmarting his opponent, let me tell you why.

In the books, he’s an introvert, sits in the back, tries to keep his head down but usually fails, gets detention often, and has been expelled multiple times. That’s not the kind of kid teachers go out of their way to help. He’s also unlikely to ask for help. So, despite his struggles in the classroom, he has never been held back or had to redo a grade as far as we know. And it’s pretty likely considering his age.

Add in the fact that he would be constantly sleep deprived from staying up very late (like from 10-3, based off my experience) and his dyslexia, Percy would need to be really good at retaining information after hearing or seeing it only once. That’s actually supported by his ability to memorize prophecies word for word after only hearing them once. We know Percy is bad at taking tests, so he would have to be really good at recalling information.

He also did it all unmedicated. I want to cry just thinking about it.

tldr, the fact that Percy’s grades where high enough to get into college means hes fucking brilliant

My new theory on why the 1987 Turtles act the way they do in crossovers is because they don’t want to be called on their counterparts for Every. Single. Issue they have.

But they do want to keep an eye out for issues that could threaten the multiverse. So every once in a while if a problem looks like it’s going to leak into another dimension, they closely monitor it but opt to leave it alone if that universe’s turtles look like they can handle it.
