Aw, he's fucking off. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/birds PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com #birding
4-panel SMBC comic update. Two women are birdwatching, one marvels at a white bird standing on a rock, saying "oh my gosh, look, a Shitepoke!' The same woman is delighted as she sees other birds saying "what a charming Arsefoot! look sally, a Windfucker! Go fuck that wind, little Windfucker!" The woman birding with her says "okay fine, you can go back to scientific nomenclature and I won’t complain." The first woman replies "it is too late. The change is complete."

My hot take this Friday: Making fun of how someone looks, no matter how terrible they are, normalizes judging people based on how they look. I spent a lot of my early years being rejected and taunted for how I looked and doing that to anyone—even my worst enemy—just doesn’t sit right with me.

“my favorite & most successful interactions online, & the ones that have won me the most friends, are where i find a person from a historically & famously marginalized population & then tell them ‘stop looking for things to be offended by.’ if i do that enough, i could end up with government work.”

nobody finishes a book and concludes “that was great; now I shall never read another one.” other writers are your teammates and coworkers, not your competition.
