Lo, I have come down from my secluded mountain meditations having cultivated an appreciation for MDZS 5 years too late and the first thing that happened to me was voter suppression.

I'm going back to the mountain tbh.

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled “immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

Expressions People Use When They Lose a Game (Electronic Fun with Computer and Games #5, Mar. 1983)

[id: picture of a person kicking and hitting a box they are leaning atop of in a tantrum, where the box reads, "Expressions people use when they lose a game."

The list follows: 1. Life is a tough deal 2. Death be not proud 3. Oh, I took abuse 4. Stinking Mutants 5. Bummer 6. That rots (alternate: Rot city) 7. Harsh toke 8. Wasted, blew me away 9. Thus endeth the game

end id]

It really shouldn't surprise me so much that 'men are human beings' pisses so many people off considering I myself was steeped far into into radical feminism enough at one time to be like, "Are they really, though?" but it is disappointing to see how the attitude has spread since I pulled myself back out of it.

Btw, no one is telling you to go up to Matt Walsh and try to have a deep conversation about where and how his fee fees were hurt and why he acts this way.

We're telling you to reassure the sixteen year old boy asking on reddit what he can do about being a man because he feels so bad about it and and if there's any way to not be a bad person despite it that he's not irreparably damaged and destined to go full Anakin just because of the sex he was born as and maybe watch where and how you do your venting because why the fuck have I seen so many questions along these lines from young men on reddit the past few years.

There was also an uptick of young trans men posting questions in trans reddits asking how to get themselves to 'not want to become an icky predatory male' despite their dysphoria over the past several years too.

The dehumanization of men hurts me as a nonbinary transfem person too. It hurts me because many ppl still see me as male, and it hurts me because I see myself as part male. And thirdly because I want to be free to express my gender how I want, and I cannot do that if I have to run from or denounce masculinity in order to be accepted in left-wing circles. That's not freedom, it's toxic.

Hello and welcome to "Icon Making With Killian: An Intro to the 'Lost' Art of LiveJournal Icons"

aka, I'm still making them and I'd like to teach you how to do it, too!

This tutorial was written in Photoshop 2020, but you can probably recreate it in as far back as CS2-ish (since I still use the same sort of techniques I've been using since then, lmao). It also assumes basic understanding of the software, though I've tried to be as clear as possible throughout.

With that out of the way, let's get this tutorial on the road!!!!!!

Ahsoka offering barriss silent reassurance before a mission

i’ve been meaning to give more to the barrissoka people, but i’m so burnt out this is all i got yall

just noticed the funniest review of one of my games. Thank you for your succinct summary

Pinpanar9 is an unsung hero, leaving a simple and understated "good" on all manner of indie games. Every creator that I know who has an itch.io counts it as a mark of pride to have a "good" from pinpanar9.

I've got a couple, and every time I get one, I feel a little more like I've made it. That I'm a real designer.

And then I got this.

This is what I imagine an Ennie win feels like. It can't feel any better.
