waiting for my train, really needed to piss. accidentally pissed in my pants (still in a state of shock and confusion after 5 hours) then got on the train, managing to hide my piss soaked pants. got off the train saw someone who i haven't seen for 5 years, and the last time i saw them they confessed to me. cant believe this wasn't a dream

recently was informed that a former classmate and friend of mine believes that i didn’t earn my internship that im currently at through merit… i could speculate as to how exactly he thinks i got it, but i do know that he thinks i took advantage of something (?) to get it and didnt earn it through my work. so that’s really cool. good to know misogyny is alive and well in my government as well as my social circle…

do i have to be ugly to be allowed success? if im pretty and unsuccessful am i a bimbo? if i’m the wrong type of pretty and successful am i a manipulator? if im ugly and unsuccessful am i worthless? do women have to be the right amount of attractive and the right amount of successful to be deserving of respect? hmmmmmmmmm

Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel

IT'S BAD

PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS

EDIT: If you're still having problems, it might help to switch from "Save/Save as" to "Export (as a) Single Layer". Just. Make SURE the box labeled "Expression Color" is set to RGB. I've been messing with this all day, and it looks like this combination of settings will allow exported PNGs to maintain their colors perfectly. To you. So far both Discord and Toyhouse still only display desaturated images and I cannot for the life of me figure out why

when i realise that anything nice anybody has done for me is because i played it up so i could use them<<<

when im having a panic attack i often start repeating "i wanna go home" over and over and over in my head and sometimes out loud even when im at home. where is home, who is home , what is home i dont know

the “i wanna go home” never leaves my head even when i’m physically sitting in my bed

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.

I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."

NATIVE PLANTS TOO PLS you can even research native edible plantssss

Hi

I was wondering if I could get some advice for my March projects.

So far, I just have a few ramble bullet points:

⦁ Plant tomatoes on the side of the road for strangers to pick. ⦁ Cucumbers? ⦁ Carrot planting. ⦁ Look into rules in town for making community access to garden? ⦁ Possible veggie stand on side of road for people to snag? ⦁ Egg basket for picking? Maybe? Can you keep eggs outside for people to collect? ⦁ Snack bags? Brown paper bag lunches?

And I'm not sure if these are even logistically possible but I would like any advice you might have and suggestions!

tomatoes maybe grow in your garden / window box / windowsill just bc they can be quite delicate plants you might want more control over. but you could then put them out in a basket

cucumbers and carrots are way hardier. plant them wherever, seedbomb a lawn

smart move, but also dont be afraid to ignore rules if stupid

egg and veggie stand both smart move but keep eggs out of sun if sun is applicable

love a brown paper snack bag!

With JoAnne Fabrics going out of business I feel it is my duty as a cosplayer, historical costumer, and general sewing gremlin to help teach y'all how not to be reliant on evil overpriced mediocre big box stores for fabric and cosplay supply, cause if I catch y'all going into Homophobia Lobby to get cosplay fabrics imma have to start throwing hands. And frankly you guys all deserve better.

- Find a neighborhood full of brown people. Probably a slightly poorer neighborhod. I know, I know, but they will have small independent fabric stores. Selection in each may vary. Hispanic and Caribbean areas will give you prints that EAT. Muslim areas will give you fabrics with amazing drapery. Indian and Southeast Asian areas will give you beading that would make the House of Worth wet with envy. (Try to avoid oldwhitelady quilting stores unless you are a knitter or are specifically trying to cosplay Kirsten Larson.) (Also ask while you're there for lunch/dinner spot recommendations. Your fabric store guy usually has a buddy with a joint nextdoor with the best *insert relevant ethnic food here* you'll ever put in your mouth.)

- DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE OWNER OF SAID STORE. This I cannot stress enough. Abdul, my fabric guy, can and will get me whatever I want cause he knows me, knows I bring in other young people, and knows I will be back every month for more. Indie fabric stores tend to have older clients. They are anxious to see faces under 60. Just chat with whoever is in there about the kind of stuff you want and need and they will help you. This also frequently leads to discounts. I have not paid listed price for fabric in years and just walked out of Abdul's with 7~ yards of gorgeous teal satin for 10 bucks. Not a yard. Total.

- Do not be afraid of mess. The best shit comes from stores that look like a hurricane went through them. Don't try to understand the organization. (One day, 4 years into your relationship with the store, suddenly the fabric gods will reveal the knowledge to you.) Again, talk to whoever is in there about your project. They'll help.

- Give up on one stop shopping. Get your crafting supplies elsewhere. Like a small independent hardware store. There's usually an old guy in there that reminds you of an uncle who will also help you.

-Worbla and whatever other Cosplay Specific Material you're using is a fatphobic material straight from Satan's hot taint, you do not need it, and any old hardware/tractor supply dad will help you find better, more durable armor/weapon/detailing material. Don't snub your nose at paper mache and plaster of paris. Venetian Mask makers have been using it for years. Balsa wood is also your friend. Hardware store Uncles will teach you to work with both.

- Elderly people are your bffs. If you see an old person TALK TO THEM. They know how to do all kinds of shit. I know there's a hesitation around old people because of the political climate and a fear that they may be homo/trans/whatever-phobic, but hey....minds are changed by making friends. My elderly Muslim fabric supplier is an Our Flag Means Death fan because of me gushing about the teal I needed for Stede Bonnet. He wishes me happy pride now. He put bolt of rainbow in the window in June and kept it up all summer. And he'd never had a thought about queers before me.

- Don't feel limited to Craft and Fabric stores. Hardware stores are cool. They stock outdoor fabrics and umbrella and furniture covers that are very durable....my first cosplay was made out of patio furniture covers. Also upholstery stores and upholsterers have velvets and damasks and faux leather and real leather and all sorts of rich textures. Most of them will part with a few yards pretty cheap. Second hand sheets and bedspreads and curtains also make some really cool garments. A significant amount of my ren fair garb started as household goods.

- If you are forced to order fabric online, please for the love of all that is holy DO NOT BUY FROM MOOD or any other famous store. You're paying for their branding and their place on certain reality shows I will not mention. Indie is always cheaper for the quality and usually not abusing their workers.

- If the fabric/hobby/hardware/upholstery/etc store you develop a relationship with is inconveniently far from you, see if said owner is willing to take your order via phone and send it to you. You'd be surprised how accommodating people in the crafting and sewing world can be.

It all really comes down to having to form a community. I know finding multiple small stores is a lot less convenient than Joannes. But forming a relationship with a local supplier will, in the long run, yield you much better results AND put money and good back into a community near you.

(And if you're in the NYC area DM me and I'll put you in contact with Abdul. He's the absolute best and I'd do anything to help him and his business grow!!!)

you are no better than a shitty american politician if you're sitting there, blaming the working class for their own issues in a system built to fail them. you're a class traitor, and you've fallen for propaganda. you are not some genius leftist who is the only one seeing the truth. this goes for everyone.

you clearly do not understand american politics, if you do not understand the results of the us election. you do not understand american politics, if you do not understand that there was very little choice involved in this. if you still believe america is a free country of privilege, you believe exactly what the fascist government wants you to believe. you do not understand that american propaganda isn't only forced into americans.

if you make the ignorant cishet able-bodied white american your idea of every american, you are not an ally. if you make the vapid, stupidly rich people your idea of every american, you are not an ally.

so many of these supposed leftists need to tighten up, because your supposedly "radicalized" socialist/communist/anarchist ideals are contradicting everything that you say. the only thing that makes you different from the americans you hate, even the worst ones, is circumstance. you would not be any different if you were born and raised in their situation. anyone can be brainwashed, anyone can be indoctrinated, anyone can be manipulated. you probably already have been, just not in the same way.
