Realized today I could bring my #tatting to my next comic festival and does anyone have a pattern that’s easy for beginners and would look good in hot pink? Unfortunately I can only read the drawn patterns yet, not the written ones

If you are not from Jersey or haven’t lived in Jersey you cannot comment on diner culture. Your state does not understand or experience true diner culture. You are an outsider to diners.
This is not up for debate.

(sleepily) it's the freakin' weekend
On top of reasons of role deconstruction and bodily autonomy, this is one reason why it's so important to many people in power to eradicate trans folk.
If you're secure with yourself, feeling good BEING yourself, they can't tell you you're broken and then sell you a "fix"

worth noting that the specific thing thomas will never forgive liberals for is instituting laws and policies meant to correct for systemic racism

I need people to understand numbers on SM are fake. "number go up" is a fallacy. big numbers don't translate to big bucks. it never has. the biggest indie creator you follow is probably poorer than you. I need you to understand this so you internalize indie studios exist purely by divine miracle.
Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.
ok no spoilers I haven't watched the finale yet but even in season one it's very clear IMO that this is intentionally a weakness of the character that exists for a very good reason, namely to show that his heroism as a doctor doesn't exempt him from all human foibles and power dynamics!
Fascistic and sexually censorious societies tend to devolve into this. Pornography is limited and banned, but advertising and political expression become highly sexual through repressed eroticism. You can see this through the increase in euphemisms and innuendos in today’s ad slogans
i read a lot of non fic about the american revolution and it never ceases to amaze me that ~70% of the founding fathers were rebelling because they were broke freaks who really hated taxes and 30% of them constantly ruminated on the meaning of life and the human condition and NOTHING has changed

now imagine this happening everywhere... imagine the mindset shift... imagine how radically it would improve people's lives, all while still existing side-by-side with capitalism (for now). Imagine the pressure it puts on a brutal system when they can get their needs met outside of that system.
r/povertyfinance - 13h ago » RiddleCorsair Bartering with my neighbors literally saved my life this month Success/Cheers I have been struggling for a while now after my hours got cut and for a couple of months there I was basically choosing between gas for the car or actual groceries. It is a soul crushing way to live honestly. About six weeks ago my neighbor across the hall was complaining about how expensive it was to get her kids hair cut for school and I just kind of joked that | used to cut my brothers hair all the time growing up. She actually took me seriously and asked if I would do it for twenty bucks but I told her to just keep the money and maybe help me out with a ride to work since my car has been making a terrifying clicking sound. That one little interaction basically spiraled into a whole system. Now I cut her kids hair every few weeks and in return she picks up extra stuff from the warehouse club...Another guy in our complex is a retired mechanic and I started helping him move his heavy furniture because his back is shot and in exchange he actually took a look at my car and fixed the clicking for free. We arent exchanging a single dollar but the pressure that has been lifted off my shoulders is insane. It has made the whole situation feel a lot less hopeless and like I am part of a community instead of just a person failing at life alone.
my dude has rediscovered the commons and I could not be happier for them

today is Fuck Off Friday! how are you celebrating?
the idea that the demand of affluent people for strangers’ children is in tension with child welfare protections is actually correct. But of course in Anglophone countries, where #adoption is about making people into parents, the conclusion is “so much the worse for child welfare protections.”
CDs are controlled experiences. VCRs, DVDs, etc are focused curated forms of media. A streaming service is a wash of nonsense algorithms & ad laden, constantly degrading, late capitalistic fonts of slop that make high retention, low interest media that want you to keep it running as background noise
Well well well... would you look at that... you can now follow along on BackerKit! 👀

Digital color illustration. Six horizontal panels, each with a character, from top: a woman face forward with long braid and fantasy tabard, hands raised and calling out; a scruffy man in profile wearing leather trench and visible tech bracer, firing an energy pistol; a bald fantasy dwarf with long beard and massive battle axe whose eyes have no iris or pupils, charging in profile; a woman in profile with long flowing ponytail wearing sci-fi regalia, hand at temple as she launches psionic energy from her forehead; a young man in profile wearing fantasy gambeson armor with metal pauldron, firing cracking energy from his hands; an android face forward wearing poncho and hat falling off, emitting circular sonic energy from his hands. Each panel is value rendered in a single color (from top: blue, teal, geeen, violet, magenta, red).
Digital color illustration of the Teachout sisters: Corwyn (left) and Gwen (right). They wear vaguely Victorian-steampunk clothes in muted colors. Corwyn holds a glowing, floating artifact that crackles with blue energy. She is decidedly uncertain about this thing. Gwen, rifle draped across her shoulders and knives on her hips, gives the item a mischievous smirk.
Digital color art of a thickset figure who wears adventuring gear and stands in a stone hallway. They have a head made of fire and hold a firey hand aloft to inspect a skull hanging in spider webs. Behind them, a purple and cyan spider hangs from its own webline.
Faux book cover digital color illustration of a bearish man with pink hair, brown beard, and no visible clothing lying sensually in a field of grass and roses which strategically cover anything too naughty. The shadow of tree leaves falls across the top right corner of the image. Text across the top says “R.S.Davis.” Tagline text reads “He was looking for game What he found was.” Title text on the bottom reads “Bear Meat.”
