  • I was gunna transition, but I realized I was going to look like Willem Dafoe in drag. Not that alone would have stopped me, he just kinda looks like my mom there, and I hate that woman.

    I just don’t want her specter staring back at me from reflective surfaces, as I carelessly cast my unfocused gaze into darkened rooms as I pass by for the rest of my life.

    Although, if anyone would come back from the dead to torment me from the shadows for the rest of my natural life, it would be that woman.

    At the end of the day, I’ll ask my students if they have any questions. No hands will go up, I’ll act a little disappointed and say, “You know, I’m always asking if you all have any questions, and no one ever asks what my favorite dinosaur is.” and I just let it hang in the air.

    Without fail, a hand will slowly go up, and I call on them. “What’s your favorite dinosaur?” and I respond immediately with, “That doesn’t count, it wasn’t organic.” and then I kick them all out of class.











  • It’s wild to me that ctl+alt+del is relevant today at all. I used to read webcomics in high school all the time, CAD included. Loss was definitely eye opening, it was a real moment of “wasn’t this comic about video games?” But then it was forgotten about for so long. It’s a marvel to me that random moment in such a dated comic got meme’d on this hard.



  • Israel is committing genocide. Over 73% of Israel is Jewish containing over 45% of the world’s Jewish population. The next highest population of Jewish citizens is the United States with over 39% of the world’s Jewish population. The next highest country is under 4% of the world’s Jewish population.

    Not I nor the comic are claiming that Israel represents the collective whole of Judaism. Also, in 2018, Israel passed a law which specifies the nature of the State of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people.

    I reiterate, the comic is merely describing the people committing the genocide. According to the numbers, even as secular as the IDF is, nearly 3 out of 4 soldiers is Jewish.

    Judaism may not be related to the genocide, but it is impossible not to associate Israel and Judaism, based on global census and Israel’s own laws.
