comic panel 1: lake driving with meg in passenger seat; speech bubble from lake says “So… i realized this year i’m more toward the boy side of the gender spectrum… so our genders and sexualities don’t fully line up…”ALT
comic panel 2: meg in the passenger seat excitedly saying “what a coincidence! I realized this year i want to raise kids eventually and i know you don’t”ALT
comic panel 3: a view from outside the car with lake and meg high fiving inside, confetti explodes around the car and two banners at the top and bottom read “BESTIES DIVORCE”ALT
drawing of lake lit in a spotlight with a microphone jauntily gesturing at meg, in another spotlight, saying “ladies, my wife is SINGLE!!”. glowing neon signs point to meg that read “FUNNY”, “CLEVER”, “HOT” and “THOUGHTFUL”ALT
sketch of lake saying “i am also single but ‘people of all genders, i’m single’ is not nearly as funny as ‘ladies, my wife is single’ and, like a hammerhead that stops swimming, if i stop being funny i’ll die. also my wife is a catch and you should date her”ALT
sketch of lake and meg in cowboy outfits holding a banner that reads “JUST (several months ago) PARDNER’D (platonically)”ALT

my partner & i recently transitioned to being best friend platonic partners and romantically separated (due to some simple romantic incompatibilities) - we’re both very happy with and excited about this change and most importantly we think it is VERY funny and gay to continue doing everything together and living together as exes

The Gaza Death Toll Has Now Hit 9,000.

Gaza’s health ministry has updated its death toll since the conflict broke out on October 7, to 9,061, including 3,760 children and 2,326 women.

Please, please do not be desensitized to the numbers. Please don’t look away! Palestinians do not even have the privilege look away! Do not stop protesting, do not stop demanding for a ceasefire, do not stop donating esims or money or humanitarian aid, do not stop looking ways for help, do not stop talking about Palestine!

when fanfic writers put in their author’s notes “this was so self indulgent” man i’m so happy for you. i hope so. i hope you had a blast making this. i love you

Self indulgence for public consumption == vulnerability, and oh my gawd do I have A Thing for that. Like it’s funny that most of what I write about is Being Vulnerable and Getting Comfy with Embarrassment, because that’s also what I’m doing!

When they lose their homes that they spend their

whole lives building, they cry

When they see their dreams and hopes getting destroyed, they cry.

When they realise how scary and uncertain their future is, they cry.

And because they are human beings, full of feelings and emotions, they cry.”


This is an excerpt from a 35-year-old Palestinian’s account of life in Gaza under siege.

Ziad has been writing for the Guardian about the realities of the Israeli bombardment, as he, his sister and their pets, flee their home in Gaza City in the hope of survival.

More favourite tropes:

  • “Unfortunately, [thing that would ordinarily be described in much stronger terms than ‘unfortunate’].”
     
  • “Fortunately, [thing that is in no way fortunate].”
     
  • “Unfortunately, [thing that would be fortunate in nearly any circumstance except the particular circumstance at hand].“
     
  • “Fortunately, [very minor benefit that absolutely does not offset the considerable drawbacks of whatever just happened].“
     
  • “Unfortunately, [the exact, word-for-word thing that somebody just expressed that they hope won’t happen].“
     
  • “Fortunately, [complete non sequitur].”

And may I add

“Fortunately, [thing]. Unfortunately, [the exact same thing].”
