Achievements today-

Thumbnailed another chapter of my comic. It's about the healing power of music. That's all I will say.

I also showered. Which doesn't seem like much until you realize I've been unemployed for nearly three years and the passage of time is a theoretical concept to me now.

-Share something that reminds you of your childhood-

One of my earliest memories is being called "faggot" by the older boy down the street because I was wearing a peace medallion my mother gave me.

It was a lovely warm and sunny Saturday. I stayed inside but the bullying continued for years.

This image is for Part 3 of my comic, but I'm working on the back end of the story now. It's got me plucking at my beard.

The thing about Fish Outta Water stories is that ignorance is a short lived thing... unless someone is determined to stay that way.

I sometimes think the big difference between me and a real comic artist is the willingness to let minor things slide because they got the job done.

That radiator grill would have me breaking out the ruler and making sure each line was as straight as a bullet. It doesn't matter that it reads already

I don't want to raise everyone's expectations too high but I think I have a new karaoke standard.

I was in Gunsan Korea when I had to get an x-ray for my lower back at a public hospital.

The nurse came to me looking like she was gonna tell me I had cancer. "I'm sorry, but your insurance doesn't cover this. You'll have to pay ₩100,000!"

About CDN$100.

I smiled at the concern AND at the price.
in Paris, I had to see a same-day doctor & I found one. was gravely warned that, as a foreigner, I’d have to pay 32 euros & I laughed & laughed

a friend there said “make sure you get X kind of doctor, not Y, because the Y kind charges 74 WHOLE EUROS” & once again I bitterly, bitterly laughed 😭
My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.

Gen X falling for Gen X-bait is embarrassing.

Back then we'd spit boiling hate at anyone telling us pop culture peaked with Perry Como and Kirk Douglas. But a bunch of us literally spent a decade yelling, "You kids don't know what real ghost busting looks like!"

Fucking lead poisoning, man.
Green Apple Watermelon Slurpee (2019-2019): As the name suggests, this was a bright green, watermelon & green apple-flavored slush drink. Released exclusively in Canadian 7-11 stores, to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the original "Ghostbusters".

In South Korea, Nov 11 is Pepero Day. (Their Memorial Day is June 6)

It's one of those days that exist solely to sell things like our Valentines Day. I've been told it's because the 11/11 on the calendar looks like Pepero sticks.

RIFTS was the most Gen X of Gen X TTRPGs.

Like you open it up and Faith No More starts playing and all of your shoes turn into Sketchers.

Now I kinda want to run it.

Linux Rasslin' Music - We Can't Be Stopped by Geto Boys.

Somehow they managed to create a handful of perfect hip hop songs that stood the test of time, while simultaneously having a discography that was one endless Double Dog Dare.

In the dictionary next to "Aged Poorly"

Obviously when your democracy, culture, and future are under assault by humanity's worst, the best move is to quit your position of power so the enemy can take it and use it.

Spring Garden Road between the Gardens and the library should be converted to bikes & feet only. Argyle: Roof it over like a Japanese shotengai.

Allow drinking outside. It's not 1938 and we don't have scores of drunk violent military boys tearing up the city every weekend.

I can fix Halifax.
It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.

It took a bit of fighting because Inkscape kept not doing the things I asked, but I managed to take a step forward and get some dialog inside some word balloons just now.

Yuri Gagarin has gone from entering space to going into orbit.

I love this fever dream of an episode. It's too bad Herberts hate it.
I guess eventually I had to talk about Star Trek's stupid space hippie episode. My video all about it is now public, please share!

Building some templates for Krita that match the aspect ratios of my scanned pen & paper originals may seem like boring shit but I assure you this test page here is a huge step forward.

I just put Yuri Gagarin into orbit.
