This was actually infuriating to read. “Not a spectrum,” but goes on to describe four categories with differing levels of impact in differing areas. Says there’s no scientific basis for things like ear defenders or other sensory accommodations, so I guess when we say they help it’s meaningless?

Okay there was value beyond shock value, it does feel likes it's a mechanism for developing Betsy. Specifically it's following up a line from the Slaymaster arc, hinting at a vengeful streak in the character.

Disgusting.

Hm. Nope. Don't trust that.

Let's not read too much into Rebecca texting her dad the exact same way she texted Josh. That's Dr. Akopian's job.

Betcha Maya could plan a mean wedding. Though I could never forget who they do end up getting...

He's a cutie.

As I reach the end of season 2 I'm starting to recall a particularly frustrating scene and I'm gonna cringe into oblivion when I get to it.

Of course they got a model that looks like Paige Buekers.

You know what? When Alan Moore was writing, I don't think any of the other Captain Britains were Brian.

Me when the hookup from grindr wasn’t exaggerating

New music video for Ants Ants Ants & Alphabet Rockers is out today and thrilled to have it featured on the YouTube Kids app! You can check out the full video here: youtu.be/R0Kl-DFmrQ8?...

No one before Ben has ever considered that trans women might actually be effeminate gay boys. No one has ever suggested such a thing to us, repeatedly, in a bid to prevent us from transitioning, or developed entire typologies around the idea, or reinforced it in multiple academic fields!

Banshee and Moira MacTaggert

Long awaited Toy Story sidequel.

What possible community guideline could this be violating?

Who's the new guy feels like a cheating way to get out in front of every criticism they knew they'd get over Nathaniel. I'm not huge on him. I respect his growth and everything, and he was a key role in... probably my favorite song of the whole series.

Have a very merry #MutantMonday

A pet collar is actually a great early dating gift. Never thought of that before.

Love that they kept the continuity that Valencia's real name is Maria, but she just thought Valencia sounded better. It's such a quirky character beat for a character who's sort of anti-quirk.

aw man i missed celebrating 1999 toyota corolla day

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS. I wish Wellstone were with us. Looking and sounding like an outsider helps win elections, but being an inexperienced outsider and running for Senate is dumb! run for House, run for statehouse, at least get involved in a DSA chapter, something! @runforsomething.net

What the FUCK. Just outa nowhere.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

I sort of love these guys. They seem doomed to failure at every turn but never stoop to infighting. I wonder if it's because they were created be Jaspers' lackies, so with no Jaspers they just have nothing they're good at.

Been watching this guy's 60 second analysis on CEGF, this is probably my favorite. He takes a look at the role Rebecca plays in the community of West Covina.

I'm of the unpopular opinion that season 1 had the worst intro, but they were the best at transitioning from the cold open.

(This is in response to a complaint about Taylor Lautner playing an indigenous character) Okay but you get that Native Americans are real while shark boys fucking aren't, right?

I actually didn't remember "it was a shitshow" being censored. It Had to've been for network television when it premiered. Maybe it was uncensored for Netflix, where I first watched it. Or maybe I rewatched it on YouTube that version just supplanted my memory of the one from the show.

The dream.

2 episodes into season 2 and no Valencia >:C

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Neighbor downstairs is playing drums. I must be too old because I think it's too loud. I got work tomorrow.

As funny as this was? A dead loved one's definitely less time consuming than a sick one.

God I hope my landlord never figures out the washing machine works without inserting coins...

MAKE IT 17 SEASONS OF TELEVISION, NOW! Progress!

Now, did they get a new girl to play young Rebecca because they needed her younger in this scene than the others? Oooor are they planning ahead for the other kid aging out of the role?

Superman Special #1 (1983) #artistsplash

Rebecca is so close to being stable near the end of season 1. Her problem is that she thinks if she could just kick her Josh habit her life would be perfect, rather than addressing the root of why she went after Josh in the first place.

"Well, I work full time and my dad is sick." "I work two jobs and my husband is dead." "... I... am very sorry, but I was not involved."

Why does anyone draw Kitty with any different hair? Dauterman's approach is perfect.

"How many sleeping pills did you take?" "SO MANY!" People who've seen the show before:

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But only slightly less well known is this… "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"

The world is a scary place and the news is awful, but I hope y'all have art that brings you joy the way Peach's art brings me joy.
