I understand the political theory behind this - “look, we’re on your side re: affordable gas” - I just think it’s a stupid fucking theory
let them touch the stove, press their hand on it good and hard
who could have predicted that members of a regime you have publicly promised to end both as a political body and as a collection of individual lives might proceed as though you said that
You should call your reps. I know they all suck so badly--I know the Congress hates the American people and resents us so much--but you should call. Oppose the "KIDS Act", a bundle of censorious bills that claim to be about kids' safety online, but endanger everyone's data privacy (including kids).
I’m always happy to see you, too!
O round world, keeps on rolling
OK, comics hive mind: Apart from the big news sites, who are your favorite People Who Know Things for comics? Used to be, bloggers ran the world. I'm coming out of a ten-year burnout, and most of my old list of people who belong on press release lists are not in the game anymore.
Who ya got?
Also... I have 32 copies of a signed and numbered SETTLERS comic left. Come get one if you like physical media! The solid blacks are nice and crisp, the plans for the future already delusional, the story is solid!

There was a lot of wild food on my grandmother's land, too. Apart from berry picking and getting malaria while gathering plums, I don't remember much of that in LITTLE HOUSE, which is funny.
New pages for my webcomic, SETTLERS OF THE STORM WORLDS! Last week's pages become free, and these are still pretty cheep. Both chapters together gets ya 77 pages, plenty for a coffee break long enough to get ya yelled at! Come look!

I seem to recall that was just Sunday dinner! That kid ate like a sawmill.
The things you pick up from farming relatives… my uncles used to gather immature pumpkins, apple sized, slice and fry them in butter. Didn’t even peel them. Called ‘em “baby heads.”
She did. Descriptions of how things were done were always interesting. Pouring hot syrup into snowbanks to make candy?? So exotic to a kid like me, for whom snow itself was largely theoretical.
Bah! At least toast it for a little crunch!
Oh, hadn’t thought of her in ages, but Francesca Lia Block was really good at lush, descriptive prose, whatever the subject, and she went all in on food as she did on everything. Sandwiches made with waffles, butter served sliced like cheese, raspberry tea, silky eggplant lasagna.
Nice! Fresh pita is the best.
Oh, and lamb stew with rice and fruit. I had to create my own recipe after reading THE HUNGER GAMES.
I developed a great fondness for cucumber sandwiches after reading THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, all the more so years and years later when Alison Bechdel described how they became a family favorite after her mother took a role in that play.
Not Turkish Delight, that’s for sure.
Bought a big bag of toasted kasha, because in the book I’m reading people eat it hot for breakfast, and I love literary food.
Ellery Rummage, protagonist of webcomic SETTLERS OF THE STORM WORLDS, digs through books for something new.
Tomorrow, new update on my webcomic, SETTLERS OF THE STORM WORLDS! So many books, so little time... www.patreon.com/c/carlaspeed...
Had to drive through his “college” to get to our favorite pizza place back in the day.
This quote has been with me every day since I first heard it and I love her so much for saying it.
It's been 65 days since Donald Trump invaded a sovereign state, abducted its leader, and declared the US will "run" the state indefinitely
It's been 9 days since Trump launched a war (his word) against Iran without congressional approval
No House member has filed articles of impeachment for either
Why the USA can't afford anything.
Yeah, BOOOO, dude who was in the director’s chair for INSIDE OUT, thd most therapy-informed kids’ film ever, and UP, the first fifteen minutes of which broke all of us
These asshole twerps with no brains or education from DOGE really did use ChatGPT to find NEH grants to terminate ILLEGALLY - ruining hundreds lives and destroying hundreds of the greatest humanities projects and partnerships of our time. I’m overwhelmed with rage and anger all over again.
yes yes treason etc but also can we talk about "they'll tell me things my own country won't tell me"
my man, that's called "getting played". you got played
Not being a medical professional, I can’t really say, but how much worse than HOUSE can it be? Good character drama, fwiw.
Good god. Well…
That’s another one. Doesn’t a major hospital have an independent system, an intranet that can be used independently from the outside web? If not, ffs, WHY not??
