I’m going on a brief hiatus for school reasons

It’s my last semester of school and not to tmi but I’m also in Supertherapy atm and I just really want to focus on my life and getting shit done lol, so I’ve decided to take a hiatus from tumblr, probably for a few weeks to a month? Last time I vanished for like 4 days a few of my mutuals got worried so I thought I’d make this and pin it for while I’m gone lol.

I turned off reblogs on a few of my most-frequently-go-feral posts, just because there’s some I only still allow to circulate bc I’m around to check my notifications and like, block TERFs or ppl randomly calling artists pedophiles (I love how u can tell which posts they are just from that). Without me there to essentially moderate them, there’s some I worry would just turn into people harassing minorities when I wasn’t there to stop it. I’ll turn reblogs/replies back on for all my stuff once I’m back, something something free dissemination of information something something.

Wish me luck on my essays and I will see u on the flip side!

FEMA is doing an emergency alert test on all TVs, radios, and cell phones on October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20pm ET.

If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.

Yes, I’m doing this months in advance, and yes, my blog has very little reach, but I figure better to post about it more than less.

Please reblog and add better tags than mine, I’m bad at tags.

Celibacy Sweep! Have you Ever had sex?

Yes (I’m a minor)

No (I’m a minor)

Yes (I’m an adult 18-22)

No (I’m an adult 18-22)

Yes (I’m an adult of any other age)

No (I’m an adult of any other age)

See Results

this is an attempt to test the hypothesis i’ve seen floating around that celibacy sweeps are caused by large numbers of minors on polls. i hate the reblog baiting “for sample size” but i think a wider section of voters WOULD make this more interesting…

Another piece I did for The Nib back in 2015! Gonna keep posting these until they shut down at the end of the summer. It was such a treat to hear that Matt and the whole editorial team just won an Eisner for their work on the magazine and website. Much-deserved.

Anyway: this is a parody and isn’t representative of every screenwriter’s experience, but it certainly feels relevant with all the strikes rolling out right now. Did you know what kind of credit you get on a film directly impacts how much you’re paid? For writers you’ll see “created by,” “written by,” “story by,” and all sorts of other things, all of which translate to different levels of compensation! (Highlander, for example, has Story by Gregory Widen and Screenplay by my dad and his writing partner, Larry Ferguson.) The Writer’s Guild is often responsible for arbitrating those decisions. They have a whole MANUAL to help writers understand the process. It rules.

Thanks, WGA. Thanks, The Nib. (And you can always make more of these comics possible on Patreon.)

Cannot believe I am seeing people getting their tits bent out of joint about a man taking his daughter into a women’s room. That shit was like, completely normal when I was a kid. We really have taken a flying leap backwards as a society into the Cootie Zone

“Men don’t belong in the women’s room” is in fact a subordinate social imperative to “children should be kept an eye on so they don’t get hurt” and especially when you’re talking about a toddler, most men’s rooms don’t have changing stations or suchlike. Morons

It should really not go without comment that afaik this is a black man taking care of his daughter, racism is a factor in people making a big stink about this and I’m not really gonna let the ~daughters of the witches you couldn’t burn~ forget that their actual grandmothers probably got pissy about integrated washrooms

One of my coworkers told me that her 7 year old “mansplains” to her and it’s like… I’m pretty sure you aren’t being oppressed by a child you literally have massive legal and social power over. But maybe take a look at how yr husband talks to you if you think yr kids picking that up from somewhere
