A strip done in collaboration with the @humanartistry.bsky.social , starring Question Hound as he gets some unwanted help for a comic he’s working on:

this blows way past "reasonable people can disagree about how to address institutional transphobia at the NYT" into a cross between "my trans friend said it was okay for me to say that word" and "what so I need notarized permission from the 'trans community' to wipe my ass now"

i think it's important for people to remember that puberty blockers *were* the "moderate, compromise" position.

y'ever think about how the MY LITTLE PONY folks went "we need a new character whose purpose is to learn about friendship, let's call her [looks up 'twilight' and 'sparkle' in thesaurus] Sunset Shimmer"

the recent "sexual dimorphism of Shen" comic had a bonus panel "sexual dimorphism of Life" that gave me serious pause like, on one level it's a fun throwaway gag… but also life as a woman is scary and challenging, mhm, go on, how does this observation about Life relate to how you observe yourself?…

Never let someone tell you that you must excuse owning enslaved people or participating in killing Native people because someone was "of their time". Silas Soule was of the same time.

The legendary "walking bed" page from Winsor McCay's "Little Nemo in Slumberland" was published on July 26, 1908. If there’s a Mt. Rushmore for Sunday pages, this one is certainly on it.

I usually find it hard to relate to folks' experiences of being "traumatized" by movies in their youth, but that golden key and the heavy door and the Nightmare engulfing King Morpheus… jeepers, comes close

some of the sequences drag a bit, but having a more mature understanding of the animation and art influences (and dubbing!) gave me all new appreciation and yes, there's a clueless trans kid angle, dim memories of wondering: why would Nemo ever have balked at the invitation to play with a girl?!

Sara humored me and we watched LITTLE NEMO tonight, a movie I distinctly remembered from my childhood but could remember relatively little *about*, until while watching it everything came flooding back how could I have forgotten Morpheus, or the way the scepter sliced through that manta

JAZAMA PAJAMA PAJAMA JAZAMA SHIMERA-KAZAM KIMERA-KAZAM IMERATAZAM PAJA-PAJAP SHAZAMA SHAZAMA-PAJAMA **PAJAMA!**

cannot for the life of me remember how BUFFET INFINITY wound up on my To Watch list but we Watched it tonight and it was delightfully weird and wonderfully executed

Politicians and pundits giving up human rights of some "in order to win" is like players scoring on their own goal "in order to win." Yes, you're scoring. You've also forgotten the game, and why you're playing, and what winning even is, and you have to be benched in favor of people who remember.

from A.R. Moxon, with whose work I've been particularly engaged lately: by means testing "we are approaching the question 'should everyone be fed?' from a spirit of lack—which means that, spiritually speaking, we're aligned *with* abusive wealth, not against it"

finally watched a movie tonight that I had long been meaning to, about a band of folks who might be considered terrorists, which is odd since they never meant to terrorize the general population related, go watch @theabigailthorn.bsky.social's video on Violence & Protest: youtu.be/dh4G1Gjv7bA?...

I'm usin a fuckin bomb on that wall, I tell you that much

I took a philosophy course in college that addressed this sort of question. and, informed by that, I take your side what is "blue" if not "a sensation which we have been taught by example to associate with the word 'blue'"?

ooooh, I bet you could get pretty far using polymer clay to make some of the pieces

sugoi…

LAST TEMPTATION is such a wildly better movie, as a human and tragic inquiry into whether and why one might give one's life over to a perceived higher power PASSION is pure he-man it's-so-sad-but-I'm-so-tough-and-I-am-God
