just found this comic i drew in 2012

i also watched arcane a couple of months ago. it was fun

— Michel Foucault, “Sex, Power, and the Politics of Identity” (1984)

shoutout to whoever stole my amazon package containing nothing but a single pair of shoelaces.

most damaging idea of the 21st century: the conviction of vast numbers of people that human history will end within our lifetimes

climate change represents world-altering tragedy if unchecked, but not even in the worst-case scenario does it mean “literally everyone dies”

yet so many people have jumped already to “it’s over, the world is going to end, we can do nothing about it” and are just paralyzingly cynical. How do I explain that the power to imagine a future is essential for creating it

you know the thing where trauma can cause you to just. not expect to live much longer so when you get to 30 you don’t know what to do because you thought you’d be dead by 25

That is happening to all of us right now on a society-wide scale

A lot of people are like. REALLY angry at me for suggesting that “be depressed and do nothing” isn’t necessarily the only response to climate change.

this, this, this, this, this, this, and like, 700 other sources will tell you that most of the effects of climate change will be reversible even if we pass the ‘threshold’ of a 1.5 degrees Celsius increase in global temperature

BUT. Even if the worst happens, it will be important to be doing things other than wallowing in misery???

I’m not trying to be callous but for people living today it’s wildly unlikely for the results to be “literally immediate death.”

People will get displaced from their homes by rising sea levels. We have like, years, probably decades, before that happens. It seems so fucked up to decide that we should do nothing, because we’ve already decided they’re going to die anyway????

If a bunch of us are going to die, why not die trying to help each other? Why not try to make sure fewer people die? Why not do something that might reduce someone’s suffering or give them food or clean water or a place to sleep?

I don’t know how to explain to you that people need socks during the apocalypse

Important.

linkin park was right. i’ve become so numb

Linkin Park was right about everything

fullmetal alchemist was nuts because “theres a crazy murderer who was executed for his crimes and then had his soul implanted in a suit of armor as part of a twisted government experiment” is a D-plot at best

The range of 8path protagonist’s stories is incredible. We have:

-Priestess on a holy pilgrimage in the name of her great religion

-Noble warrior trying to regain his honour and discover the truth about the fall of his kingdom

-Thief caught red-handed by a shady aristocratic house and forced to steal back legendary artifacts to earn his freedom

-Vigilante seeking vengeance against the powerful crime lords that murdered her father

In the same game as:

-Girl who just wants to be filthy rich and will stab a bitch to get there

-Lady who’s pretty sure her friend got lost on his way home

-Socialist medicine man

-Guy trying to return a library book
