I wonder if there are people out there who believe these "people who solve this have an IQ over 220!" claims of this Mahjong app I got obsessed with and boast about it to their friends.. "Actually my IQ is 240 - Vita Mahjong told me!"

A lot of people don't know this, but when you brush a cat, you are legally required to show them the wad of cat hair that came off of them and tell them "this is enough for another whole cat"

To me, one of the biggest difficulties making zines is constantly questioning myself. "Is it okay to have this opinion?", "Will people even care about what I have to say?" and the classic "Who do I think I am to create this?"

I hate when someone makes a joke about the minority they're part of and then people outside of said minority laugh as well, like no, shut up, you are not to laugh. This is our thing. Go away and eat some mayo.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Portrait of Andrea González-Ramírez
By Andrea González-Ramírez, a senior writer for The Cut who covers systems of power. Those physicals, Maria explains, are usually perfunctory: “Like, Are you walking normally? Are you lightheaded? I have never had to take any clothes off. I’ve never felt uncomfortable or violated.” If IL26-638 were to pass and Maria were still in school, she says she would likely drop out of her team. (We’re withholding Maria’s real name to protect her privacy.) “I honestly don’t know if I would be able to do these tests,” she adds. “It would also make me question, If I do it, are all my teammates going to too? Or would I just play with the three or four girls who are willing to or have access to do it?”

Not to soap box about this but i feel that ppl in the english indie comics space should hear it: creating doujinshi/self published comics without the stamp of a prestigious fair or an indie publisher does not make you any less of a comic artist. drawing comics makes you a comic artist.
