“Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it’s to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential-as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth. You’ll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you’re doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you’ll hear about them.”

- Bill Watterson. (via estebanwaseaten)

Diabetes Funnies #8

2008

Black Prismacolour colour pencil on sketchbook paper

It’s amazing what people will say to you when you tell them you have diabetes. All you can do is smile politely and not hit them…

This fictional conversation (based on real comments people have made to me) is set on the sidewalk on Broadway and Kingsway,outside “Our Town”. Across the street was a row of old buildings that burnt down, some say in a case of “urabn renewal by arson”, that included shops and upstairs a number of artist’s studios. There’s plans to put a huge condo tower there now… can never have enough condos…

Awesome.

People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.

I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.

A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?

It is a big deal because i’m a transman.

It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.

Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.

At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.

At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.

TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.

saith.

Damn good.

it’s funny that we’re a generation known for being obnoxiously ironic while the previous generation wants to only be known for their positive impacts on the world and push all of their mistakes and problems onto us while calling us lazy and selfish.

every

generation

the

“me”

generation

The truth of the matter is that ALL of society is lazy and selfish, and refuses to take responsibility for their actions. At any opportunity, we will bend over fucking backwards to deflect any sense of responsibility on anybody else but our selves. The republicans, the democrats, liberals, conservatives, the rich, the poor, the middle class, the working class the ruling class, white men, black men, women, minorities, Christians, Jews, Muslims, straight people, gay people, transgendered, cis, the government, Jon Stewart, Rush Limbaugh, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan, ad infinitium…

quollism:

This is not a quoll but it’s close enough. It’s a Tasmanian devil, the largest marsupial predator still in existence and the record-holder for highest bite-strength to weight ratio of any living animal.

Looney Tunes Show writers: if you’re reading this and The Looney Tunes Show is still going, please turn Taz into an immigrant from Australia, give him an impenetrable Tasmanian accent and a deathly fear of acne. The discontinuity will be worth it.

Tasmanian devils are currently undergoing an Australia-wide breeding programme to create insurance populations in case they go extinct in the wild from communicable facial cancer. If you’re in or around Perth, the biggest display group of Tasmanian devils in one place can be found down at Peel Zoo near Pinjarra.

This little guy looks so sad. :C

Mvsic To Our Ears

Remember when the M in MTV stood for music? Yeah, neither do we. But that’s exactly what our favorite new website, mvsic.net is hoping to achieve. It’s a simple concept; a website that provides a constant stream of music videos. But these aren’t just your run of the mill dance hits featuring Pitbull; these are highly curated music videos that run the gamut from artsy, to trippy, to haunting, to beautiful, to everything in between. It’s the perfect solution when you need to throw something on the computer during parties, or just have it playing in the background while you pretend to do work.

The site was started in 2012 by Martin Rack and Dominic Frohlof with a simple proposition: resurrecting music videos. Needless to say, we’re hooked. The site is still in its infancy but we’re excited for these dudes and support what they’re doing. Keep it up fellas!

Music videos have, for a really long time, been my favorite genre of film. Will have to check it out!

Oh I’m so there.

suprastar:

Yes complement, not compliment. A person who accentuates your true personality, who adds fuel to your fire. Someone who can help teach you things you could never learn on your own. The one who sparks your creativity and challenges you to do better and be better.

Yes, please.

bombsfall:

A quick editorial cartoon about the intersection of self-pity, entitlement, rape, territoriality, misogyny and fear of women. You see it all over the place online in the form of Men’s Rights Activists (of whom there are a few reasonable non-misogynists), Men Going Their Own Way, Pick Up Artists, and dudes touting the “Red Pill”, because The Matrix is a good movie. Look any of these up if you have the stomach for it. These are extreme examples, but watered-down forms of these ideas are everywhere.

In lurking their blogs and youtube channels for a while, I’ve noticed that beyond the standard patriarchal chauvinism there is this deep fear of women - what they will do to me, how they will reject me, how they will use me, how they are changing society in a way that does not favor me, how they are making men into something I don’t like, how they are making themselves into something I don’t like, that they won’t give me what I want, and that they won’t give me what I think is rightfully mine. This goes beyond fear of feminism- this is fear of women at its purest. And that, to quote a puppet, leads to anger and hate. It’s sad.

I am a feminist. I think there’s enough ice cream to go around, but it does mean those of us with 3 scoops might have to give one or two up. Also, The Matrix is a fun movie but probably not anything you should be basing a philosophy on.

Man I just watched this thing like six times in a row, even beyond the message it’s still pretty technically impressive, great timing, editing, use of music and sound effects, it’s a pretty well executed little clip.

I just love this so much omg wow

“I AM AFRAID”
