What I like about this comic is that it doesn’t “trivialize” mental health problems in and of themselves. It’s clear that the koala IS genuinely traumatized by what’s happened. But it does emphasize that the mental health problems are a symptom of some real tangible problem that needs to be dealt with immediately.

Imagine being famous celebrity Kamilah al Jamil, dying and going to the afterlife, walking into the office of the Architect(s) of your entire afterlife experience, and seeing a framed photo of your long-dead, way less successful sister in said Architect’s office because she and her rando friends reformed the entire afterlife system and are directly responsible for you and everyone else not being tortured by chainsaw bears forever.  How do you even react to that?

Kamilah: *wakes up in the afterlife*

Literally everyone: oh wow, aren’t you Tahani’s sister???

this guy pulled out his dick in front of like 5 billion feminist protestors holy shit

Some context for the idiots claiming the women are overreacting:

This occurred at a Slut Walk. For those not familiar with it, the Slut Walk is basically a peaceful protest seeking to eliminate the rape apologism so prevalent in society. The basis is that no woman is “asking for it,” with “it” being rape. It’s not a feminist protest; it’s a human rights protest.

Many of the protesters, as you can probably imagine, have dealt with sexual harassment or rape in their own lives. Many of them have structured their daily activities to avoid being raped. The gathering is supposed to be a place for them to feel empowered and able to recover in the company of those who understand what they’ve been through or who will not blame them.

Nobody at a Slut Walk will tell a survivor that it’s her fault. They will not ask what she was wearing to provoke her attacker. Nobody will say she had too much to drink. Nobody will tell the men in the group that they are inherently rapists themselves, and nobody will tell a male survivor that his experience “wasn’t really rape.”

Then, this fellow comes along. He sees this gathering of survivors and their supporters, and to him, it’s a joke. He sees feminazis. He sees girls who are taking “a bit of fun” too seriously. And what does he do? He exposes himself to this group of survivors and supporters - some of whom are, in fact, underage.

He sexually harasses literally hundreds of women in one act. Aside from public indecency, there was cruel intent in his actions. He wanted to make them uncomfortable. He wanted to “put them in their place.” Other photos from this event show him flipping the protesters off and laughing at their anger.

And there are still people defending his actions. There are those who still feel like these women were asking for itand that they deserved to be harassed for trying to claim they weren’t. There are those who feel that women should be taught a lesson this way, and they applaud this man’s actions.

So no, he didn’t pull out his dick in front of feminist protesters. He harassed dozens - if not hundreds - of rape survivors. The reaction to his actions alone outline the purpose of the Slut Walk.

For those of you still doubting whether what he did was wrong (and I do wonder if there’s something wrong with you, if you have doubts), let me give you an analogous situation. Imagine a gathering of black civil rights activists. Imagine Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, and all their colleagues gathered together to demonstrate that being black did not make them lesser people. That being black and living in the South did not mean they were “asking” to be the target of hate crimes.

And at this gathering, a white man decides he should teach them a lesson by pointedly hanging a noose from the nearest tree and laughing at their anger. And other white men, laughing along with him, commend him for taking these activists down a peg.

That’s what happened here. It’s not an “OMG, I can’t believe he did that!” moment. It’s an “OMG, there are people who think this is okay” moment. And the fact is, it’s not. It never will be. And that’s the take home message of this ridiculous rant I’ve written up.

Libraries also offer low income people access to the internet when they wouldn’t be able to afford it otherwise. This is a great help for job hunting!

Yea, but Andrea doesn’t care he just wants to bash.  I bet he is the biggest suck up at work.

Here is the Mother of All Responses to Andrea’s tweet.

BTW, the original poster Cressida Cowell’s latest book (in the US, anyway) is titled The Wizards of Once,  is excellent and has already been picked up by Dreamworks for an animated movie. You may recognize her earlier series of books, also made into films: How to Train Your Dragon.

“Close all the libraries!

I can’t go in them no more because of what der librarian lady caught me watching on der wifi!

Bad!”

- Andre Walker, probably

yet more proof that Republicans are unfit to have any kind of role in any form of government

Todays “Republican politicians” are yesterdays Town Idiot/Drunk

UGH

i’m so tired of this “we don’t need libraries anymore” bullshit

bc these politicians know exactly what they’re fucking doing

libraries give people free access to information

as well as the tools to navigate the massive, massive garbage swamp of content that exists on the internet

among the many many many other vital services libraries provide free of charge

and these politicians think informed people with critical thinking skills are dangerous

so of course they want to close libraries

they have a vested interest in keeping people ignorant and cutting off access to services and programs that help vulnerable populations

they’re pure fucking evil
