You can survive this. Outlast your enemies and thrive. (Plan for a two part linocut. I think I'm just going to have to suck it up and buy some new lino; I have rubber blocks and a couple small pieces of lino but it seems I just can't do without detail.)
You have to make a fucking commitment that extends beyond your narrow, myopic definition of "normal" or you're going to continue to fail the fascism pop quiz, every fucking time.
You need to be willing to defend shit you find personally unsavory/unappealing/unintelligible. You need to be able to defend the weird porn. You need to defend the incomprehensible art. You need to defend the micro-identities that you think sound made up.
What matters is harm. Actual, tangible, documented harm. Not hypothetical. Not theoretical. Actual harm. If it's not harmful, it should be allowed to exist and anyone who tells you it shouldn't, it's trying to radicalize you. Don't fucking let them.
And if it causes actual harm, commit to actual harm reduction. Specific, tangible actions to minimize the specific, tangible harm. Anything else is propaganda.
I'm begging you to rub two brain cells together and stop platforming fascist talking points under the thinnest veneer of respectability. Your definition of normal doesn't apply to anyone else but yourself. If you're queer, if you're disabled, if you're a minority in any axis, stop fucking licking the boot that wants to crush your throat.
They mean you. When they call for the death of freaks and undesirables. When they want to criminalize anything that threatens children's safety. When they insist they only want to target dangerous perverts and malicious criminals.
They mean you.
Stop fucking helping them!
genuinely wild to me when I go to someone's house and we watch TV or listen to music or something and there are ads. I haven't seen an ad in my home since 2005. what do you mean you haven't set up multiple layers of digital infrastructure to banish corporate messaging to oblivion before it manifests? listen, this is important. this is the 21st century version of carving sigils on the wall to deny entry to demons or wearing bells to ward off the Unseelie. come on give me your router admin password and I'll show you how to cast a protective spell of Get Thee Tae Fuck, Capital
I do love a good dance with yourself. evil clone? alternate reality version? past version? future version? metaphorical representation of the true self? they should all do a homoerotic little waltz
got his ass
in jinx we trust
I don’t know what trans guy needs to hear this but please break up and cut off with that person trying to convince you not to transition. They don’t care about your happiness.
Go get that masculine hair cut. Change your wardrobe. Go on T. Get top and/or bottom surgery. Do what makes you happy, and don’t let anyone try to tell you their comfort matters more then your happiness.
i talked to the new pope and he said i can kill with impunity
we don't understand the point or basis of the majority of syscourse but it feels like we can never admit that to any other systems because everyone seems so caught up in it

As someone who makes webcomics, I miss that tiny sliver of history when indie creators of ongoing, labor-intensive passion projects finally had the means to fund their work via subscription, but big businesses hadn't yet realized they could unnecessarily milk more money from every customer by turning single-purchase products into subscriptions for no reason.

Being alterhuman, nonhuman, etc. isn't just identifying as a cute little creature. When your identity leaves you often outcast by society, it can carry some pretty dark and/or negative traits. It's simply our nature as alter-beings, and we should learn to except ourselves and others for having these experiences.
I understand some of you may be triggered by dark, gorey, or generally morbid things, but that doesn't mean you should look down on or discriminate against those who deal with those experiences. There is a dark side to being alterhuman. Always has been.
My message here is that no matter how gross, violent, or otherwise your experiences may be, you are still loved and valid. Imbrace being a monster if that's what you'd like. As long as you're not hurting anyone you shouldn't hide from these feelings.
