The idea that disabled people must be constantly visibly suffering to "prove" we're disabled is just the adult version of "if you're too sick for school, you're too sick for TV."

(Aggrieved) idk bruh maybe the place to discuss "how to bypass discords age verification!" Isn't literally a discord text channel. Maybe that seems like a bad plan AND AGAINST TOS.

I very much want to read this one. Pope Leo summoned Gareth Gore to the Vatican awhile back for a closed-door meeting about which Gore - who has desperately tried to get multiple popes to give a fuck about his reporting - said little except that he left feeling good about where they left things 👀

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

Here’s the thing about Y2K, the ozone layer, etc. The most leftist—in the sense of *valuing labor*—thing you can do is reject the brainwashing that tells you that heroism is running into a burning building and not the slow, patient, boring, unglamorous work of *preventing* disaster.

Panel 1: Shenne (this is how I'll reference the girl version of Shen from now on) is making a comically pouty crybaby hands with her hands raised and saying "oooo I can't even draw a stick figure"

Panel 2: She's now doing raptor hands and continuing to make the pouty face in profile view, saying "ooooo if I draw something, it's gonna be BAD!"

Panel 3: Shenne faces you directly, the front of her body shaded apart from her eyes and teeth, which form a disgusted expression as she says "WHO THE HELL CARES?? DON'T YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANNA SAY TO THE WORLD???"

Panel 4: Shenne, still with a disgusted expression, says "here, loser" and throws a pencil at you.

My father worked for an amusement park in the 70s, directing people toward parking lots so they filled evenly. He started sorting VW Beetles (v popular at the time) by color out of boredom. End of the day, people couldn't find their Beetle in the sea of same-colored Beetles. A giant mess.

OH MY GOD GUYS okay so priests who want back in have to find a bishop willing to vouch for them, swear fealty to Vatican II and then HAND-WRITE THE POPE AN APOLOGY LETTER (I gues so he knows they didn’t use AI? 😂) and are on probation for 1-3 years this is ten times spicier than I even thought
Reconciliation for priests
The procedure set out by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, beginning on July 1, 2026, provides that a priest who has decided to leave the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X - and who is willing to accept the Second Vatican Council and the legitimacy of the Novus Ordo Missae, while remaining attached to the ancient rite - must "find an Ordinary - a diocesan Bishop, a Major Superior of clerical religious institutes of pontifical right or of clerical societies of apostolic life of pontifical right, etc. - willing to receive him ad experimentum."

The priest must then "write by hand a letter to the Holy Father in which he presents himself and asks for the remission of the censures incurred because of the ordination he received from an excommunicated or irregular Bishop, or because, having been validly and legitimately ordained, he subsequently became a member of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X."

simple webcomic illustration on a white background featuring two stylized figures standing back-to-back, each surrounded by a vertical column of thought bubbles.

On the left, a light purple figure stands under a column of pink thought bubbles that read:

"My mind and body need me to quit"

"This is unsustainable"

"I'm making it worse"

"I'm going to crash"

"I'm breaking down"

"I need to stop"

"I am exhausted"

On the right, a light green figure stands under a column of light green thought bubbles that read:

"Life needs me to function"

"I can do this"

"Stopping is the worst option"

"I can't afford to crash"

"I'm the only one who can do this"

"Can't afford to"

"I have to keep going"

A small artist signature in a speech bubble near the bottom left reads "Chronically_Meh".
