It looks like old lace!

Ive never read Martin but i was intrigued about his struggle to finish Winds of Winter and read a blog post that looked at his statements and suggested he just didnt enjoy the series any more. But Martin did say he likes Dunk and Egg so Im happy for both of you

Reminds me of the indignant remarks quoted in so many historical eras when rich people see people who are supposed to be their slaves just loafing around.

This reminds me of the indignation we see down the ages when rich people see people who are supposed to be slaves just loafing around. All this intelligence, not making money for me!

Two plates with a slice of homemade bread on each. One has an unpunctured runny yolk and the white is cut up on the other plate.

One child only eats egg yolks and the other only eats egg whites. The third child eats both but prefers to season them by dropping them on the floor

Im so glad you asked about gateway comments and sparked this memory for me. Its appalling how often i read an amazing book and forget about it

4 personalty types since forever haha

Yessss!

Best We Could Do, aah

The Best We Could Fo by Thi Bui about her parents from Vietnam got me into graphic novels as an adult. I borrowed it randomly from the library and it was my first comic since reading a little manga as a teen. Thi Bui evoked so much emotion for me and it was my most immersive comic xperience bakthen

My 11 year old is a very good chess player so i am offended at any literal or abstract version of this claim.

Not bluesky givingme bug characters i didnt knowi needed. Do you have any narrative stories out?

That is the coolest thing ever! It needs an entire portal fantasy series written around it

Its a travesty that you cant write a story just by thinking about it really hard!
Cant remember who said it here first but so true! #amwriting #writerslife #whining

For me it was my Iranian mom in a little liberal New England town and feeling foreign on her behalf. Like her out of placeness made feeling in place weird. And the Bahai faith’s enthusiastic embrace of diversity making vague 90s tolerance stand out. We werent perfect but it got my eyes open

Omg yes! Print novels were the gateway to comics in adulthood for me and im so glad. I was an overly serious kid lol

Now i wonder what chain of childhood experiences prevented me from having the opposite experience of that illusion dashed during adulthood.

I vividly remember a moment in second grade when i realized that some ppl actually think China is populated by drones who all look and think the same instead of unique people like over here. The implication of vague comments about other places id heard suddenly came into focus for me.

True though isnt that the case with most invasive species?

You Floridians still seem to live in the dinosaur age. I cant imagine meeting gators when i try to take out the trash

Wow just when i thought it was perfect as is. Love the glow!

Ugh. The Overton window is a gaping hole left by a bulldozer in the white house wall

Unrelated my toddler pretends to blow his nose by holding up a tissue and doing a raspberry and its freakin adorable

Yesss i am amazed showers work so well for this, esp when kid is too young to blow their own nose

Maybe the old physicians had an ulterior motive to make their patients shut up? Haha

To be clear i mean kindness to individuals in everyday life, because thats the foundation of the world we want to build. Tell someone they said something racist and at the same time be humble about how you got to the point of seeing through racism. Us white ppl have been asked to educate our own

I watched the whole thing, thanks for sharing. Its great context and vindicates us canceling the times a few years ago out of frustration, not even knowing whats behind the scenes. At the same time I feel we cant give up on reaching out to ppl in real life. Kindness has power esp when it isnt easy

Love the title

What keeps you going?

Before reading this i thought plastic was a byproduct of fossil fuels, and as renewable energy decreased plastic production would too. But the industry has doubled plastic production and will do so again. Eye opening read
