This is where we are. Again. We've had horrible men elected president in 2000 and 2016 because good people, like minded people, were too divided to out vote the evil with the flawed but decent. Please don't let it happen again.
Early Grim Reaper Comics That Still Make Us Chuckle
We have been making comics for over a decade now, and thanks to our patrons we can continue to do so in the future!
things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever
- change the color used to highlight text on your laptop
- move the pictures on your wall
- stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all
- slightly vary your commute, even just by one street
- change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed
- drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real
- shower with the lights off, without music
- buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room
- start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing
- wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night
- listen to the entirety of your favorite album from 2015
Almost all of these are about variety. Humans need stimulation! We need enrichment! We literally cannot do the same thing every day!
The other day I was feeling miserable, so I hopped on a bus and rode it all the way back to where I’d started, and my brain, which had finally had some proper stimulation via new environments, was suddenly ready to go again!
This is why taking walks/drives and trying new hobbies are good for you! Don’t turn yourself into a sad zoo animal! You need some pumpkins to roll around in your enclosure!
ITS BACK!!!!!
god i fucking love the quote “dont turn yourself into a sad zoo animal” it has really inspired me!
Not to undermine the message, because yes, especially locally, votes count - but the only reason they were able to avoid the veto-override was that a couple more Republicans changed their votes from when they originally passed the legislation.
So, actually this is more "vote and" adding to the message rather than undermining, because at least one of those Repubs said her changed vote was due to people in her district contacting her and urging her not to support the override. So vote AND contact your reps.

skeleton of cave bear in Bears Cave, Romania
wonder why it’s called that
This sent me down a massive historical rabbit hole, but, long story short: it’s called Romania because there were once Romans there.
