In the autumn of 1883, a national paper reported that "an Iowa woman has spent seven years embroidering the solar system on a quilt." Ellen Harding Baker used her stunning quilt to teach astronomy in an era when women could not attend college www.themarginalian.org/2018/12/06/e...

i wrote and drew this one before i decided to take a real swing at pip and gunko as a big boy webcomic, so it isn’t up on the site yet and won’t be for a while, but regardless! i drew it while dragging myself out of the lowest point of burnout and i think it’s one of the best comics i’ve done so far

They'll tell you there's no money for teachers, veterans or to bring your costs down. Then a corporation needs a tax break and the money turns up quickly. A budget is a moral document. A budget tells you what a government actually values, line by line. #AngieforFlorida

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Writers, if you are against AI, do not put your writing into ANY tool that is itself AI. Not to check grammar, not to "prove" you wrote it yourself. Everything you give them becomes part of their data, even if it's only to "improve their service" or whatever BS they tell you.

Not all men. Jesus Christ, don't you think women *know* that? Use your heads instead of getting defensive. Most of you would be terrified of swimming among sharks, even though sharks are stastically far less dangerous to you than men are to women.

I unfollowed someone this morning for a post about how okay, now that I know more about this, yes, yes, serious. And that's a big part of the problem: not just the men who rape, but the men who perpetuate the culture of not believing women and minimizing their experiences.

Oh...
Panel 1

Field is reading a book and talking about it.

Field: This autism memoir is fascinating. A lot of it is surprisingly relatable.

Panel 2

Field: It's funny that I've had similar experiences, thoughts, and habits. It's like reading about myself.

Panel 3

Field stares into the distance. They are suddenly evaluating everything about their life.

Panel 4

Field watches a sunset. As if watching an old world vanish into darkness before a new one comes into the light.
