1. You are letting people tell you that you should be doing other things with your time.
2. You can’t live with the level of clean that your family accepts as normal.
3. You haven’t decided to treat your writing seriously and so no one around you treats it seriously,…
hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women.
also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it.
anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!!
As a comic book lover, more realism is sometimes welcome.

A very poignant and inspiring anti-bullying video.
Duck at Radhuset station, Stockholm. Possibly the coolest looking metro station I’ve been in the world!
Post GP:London 2013, I’m currently at 6/9 Power with 3 more to go… One thing is for sure: hunting down unsigned Unlimited power is rather tricky!
This article on Wired explains why the Empire should have creamed the Rebel Alliance at The Battle of Hoth in the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back. The conclusion is quite sad for Vader fans though.
This version of Metroplex is much better proportioned to his G1 counterpart. I remember geeking out as a schoolkid and brimming with envy at friends with this baby at the end of the primary school year when kids could bring their toys to school. This was waaaay before electronic toys and Gameboys were popular.
However, I now realise that Trypticon is infinitely cooler. Who wouldn’t want a city-sized dinosaur robot toy!
Sigh. I must be a closet Decepticon.

This 2-foot tall robot can be yours for $124.99 USD this summer!
If you want to stop social networking services from exploiting your likeness for advertising, you’ve got to start paying up.
Word.
Where is this coming from? Instagram’s new Terms of Service:
Some or all of the Service may be supported by advertising revenue. To help us deliver interesting paid or sponsored content or promotions, you agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with any associated metadata), and/or actions you take, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you.
FYI, there are paid versions of social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter out there like App.net. The true challenge however, is getting your friends to come on board as well; which means convincing them of parting with some cold, hard, cash.

What a disgrace.
Time for yet another reboot.
But first, perhaps a bit of explanation is in order.
Running your own WP server takes time and dedication. Once upon a time, when WP wasn’t so ubiquitous, one could get away with leaving the installation unattended. But now no longer. Because this was the second time I had to reboot the databases, reinstall scripts and do a server cleanup due to malicious code injection, I didn’t think I could do it for a third time.
So here I am on Tumblr instead.
Rejoice.
