We can tell our children that school is important until we’re blue in the face, they’re not stupid. They see the loudest applause is for the kids on the field. They know teachers are paid poorly and don’t drive fancy cars. They know people plan Super Bowl parties but mock the National Spelling Bee. In other words, they see the hypocrisy, and we can’t expect society to correct itself. If we want to have any lasting influence on the way our kids approach education — the way future generations approach education — then we have to grab our pom-poms and paint our faces and celebrate intellectual curiosity with the same vigor we do their athletic achievements.
Ethel's Chicken 'n' Waffles: If you were wondering ... ★
I think I’m done.
I’ve been on a nearly five-month hiatus for personal reasons, and I’ve come to realize, at this point, I really don’t have much motivation or interest in continuing Cheap Thrills. I’ve been putting off writing this for a long while, but I think I really owe it to readers to let…
I’m sad to see this comic go, but I can completely understand why. I’ve had stories I’ve had to give up myself, and it hurts, but yeah, fixing things is sometimes just not worth it when you can move on and start over fresh.
I would love to hear a synopsis of what happens to these guys if you want to put that out there! Some kind of closure on the story would be cool.
Thanks for being honest with us, and for all of the comics you’ve done - I just want to say, that your writing and art are both kind of fantastic - you made a story that enthralled me for hours on end, reading this thing start to finish. Your art’s grown so much, and is so wonderfully crafted, stylized, etc., that I do hope that moving on from here, you can make some more beautiful things you can really put your heart behind.
Good luck with everything, and thanks for being awesome!
These are… actually pretty inspiring.
Cool.
Forever reblog.
“you are never taller than when you stand up for yourself”

“You’re the result of 4 billion years of evolutionary success; F***ING ACT LIKE IT.”
My fave right there.
“You are never taller than when you stand up for yourself” My all time favorite.
“A solid foundation” That is a good way to think of it.

Social anxiety isn’t cool.
OCD isn’t cool.
Bipolar disorder isn’t cool.
Depression isn’t cool.
Cutting isn’t cool.
Phobias aren’t cool.
Trauma isn’t cool.
Sleep disorders aren’t cool.
Eating disorders aren’t cool.
They’re real things, they’re scary, and pretending you have them is just fucking obnoxious and an insult.

Abutt Male Privilege: michaonthemoon: yaoibutts: I love how potato in French is pomme de... ★
I love how potato in French is pomme de terre, which pretty much means “earth apple.”
like what stupid frenchman saw this:
and said “zis petite légume looks like a, how you say, APPLE! hmmm… but it grows in ze earth… HON HON HON! MAIS OUI! C’EST UNE POMME DE TERRE!”
j’adore comment ananas se dit pineapple en anglais, ce qui veut littéralement dire “pomme de pin”, genre quel type anglais a vu ça:
et s’est dit : “ow cette étrange big fruit ressemble à une, how do you say, POMME! hmmm… mais plutôt une pomme qui pousse dans les pins… HU HU HU! OH YES, IT’S A PINEAPPLE!”
(z’avez vu, on peut le faire aussi… hon hon hon!)
Calm down you two.
In German, these are called “Handschuhe”Translated literally, that means hand shoes.
Hand shoes.
