Cover art and some comic samples from my new gradence zine.
Credence dreams about his alternative life with Newt in London while he is in Nurmengard Castle. (It’s supposed to be gradence but real Persival doesn’t exactly show up in the comics.)
So i binge-read a lenzhin comic that was REAL fucked up and i kept thinking that there would be a point where Love Fixed Things. Like, everyone realized the shit that they were doing/did do/etc. was Fucked Up but nope!!! Big Bitch went to jail and Bitch B got off scott free though at the same time she was abused in the comic in a ROUGH way but also didn’t actually get a suitable punishment for the bullying she did??? but at the same time she did get hurt but that wasn’t REALLY a punishment for her hurting others though it was sure as hell Karma???? I Just Cannot.
Re-reblog with some extra notes because a lot of people are just like ‘we’re all fucked/we’re gonna die’.
Listen, not all food is equally as contaminable. Some small notes are stay away from delicate greens because they grow on thre ground where the poop is but cannot stand up to rigorous washing OR cooking, which is why stuff like romaine lettuce and baby spinach is a problem.
All other veggies can and should be thoroughly washed, and if you eat a lot of raw veg and want to be safe- cook it. People have shit on cooking food lately with all the raw vegan hype but guess why we humans started to do it? Two main reasons, one is increased nutrient absorption, the other is you don’t get the shits and die as often from cooked food.
Also, meat is not your friend right now. If you are used to eating meat, I would avoid it and switch to eggs, which are sealed and even if the outsides came from a chicken’s ass, the inside is safe. Fish also tends to be cleaner and is always less at risk of pathogens than farm meat but again, be careful.
This is survivable, if it wasn’t there’d be no point to warning you. Y'all will not survive what’s coming if you see every bit of news as proof of your doom.
Forewarned is forearmed. Be safe, be sharp, be helpful.
Today’s highlights in my ongoing project to read through and transcribe the letters of Rachel (a wealthy Victorian girl at boarding school on the East Coast in the 1890s) include…
Rachel’s cousin Will and his Yale roommate Allen both have the measles. Rachel shows limited sympathy (”Poor boy!”), before immediately mocking them and calling them “childish” for getting a disease only little kids get.
Rachel and her roommate “B” (It stands for Bertha!) attempted to steal a sign (what sort idk) from a fair they went to but found they “were carefully guarded”. She wishes Will could have been there to help.
Will has a crush on a girl named Jenny, who Rachel knows, and is constantly asking Rachel if Jenny has mentioned him.
“B” often sits next to Rachel as she writes and suggests things to add to the letter or just generally distracts her.
Will and Jack, who are brothers, don’t write to each other. They write to Rachel and tell her to write to the other and pass on a message for them. Rachel keeps asking why they do this, but goes along with it anyways.
Rachel always explains why there are ink blots or areas of sloppy writing in her letters. Explanations so far include such classics as: the dinner bell just rang, it’s after lights-out and I’m writing this in the dark, “B” is shaking my arm, “B” is kissing me, this pen is broken, the postman is almost here, and there was a bee.
For her 18th birthday Rachel received: a new Kodak camera, eighteen white rosebuds, silver manicure scissors, a pair of shell side combs, a silver pencil, and a vase of pink roses. However her favorite present was from her father who wrote to say she could just buy her own present and he would pay for it.
Rachel is always mentioning the pictures she takes with her Kodak. I wish I knew what happened to them.
Rachel likes to put question marks in the middle of sentences to denote sarcasm; i.e. “I am very ? sorry for you.” and “Men were not excluded and we had the pleasure ? of meeting several.”
Your 1890s slang word of the day: “squelch” (verb) - to be lectured or punished for something. Example: “I expect to be squelched unmercifully by mama and papa.” Can also be used as a noun as in: “This term we have had nothing but squelches.”
I really didn’t want it to come to this, but I don’t really have a whole lot of options anymore. I’m a disabled mentally ill nonbinary individual who needs 200$ for a couple of therapy visits because my insurance doesn’t cover them and my parents aren’t in a good place to spend that money right now.
I’m currently in the process of finding a job but in the meantime resurfacing trauma waits for no one and I really need this first couple of visits so I can function remotely normally in public.
I have some things lined up in terms of a job and I’ll post updates on that as I get them. I’m doing everything in my power to make my situation better for myself but I need just a little help getting off of the ground.
If you can’t donate anything, that’s alright, reblogs help. If you can only donate a little, that’s wonderful! If you can only give a couple dollars, I’m a couple dollars closer to what I need. Any little bit of help is more than I had yesterday and I’m grateful for that.
good thing i listen to exactly one song with explicit lyrics every day
I’ve been saying this for a while but Startup Bro is the new and terrifying lovechild of the brogrammer and the business major and he is somehow even more self-centered and bigoted than either of them
No, no, guys, look closely.
This house is looking for extremely physically fit young men (No drugs, no makeup, no special diet, exercise 15 hrs a week) who are passive and docile (no protests, no music lyrics with swears) who, most of all, will not be missed if they disappear(very little social media presence, not rich enough to own expensive luxury items, no need to constantly be in contact with their parents over bills/gifts, few identifying markings like tattoos)

if you notice that a circle you’re traveling in is developing an uneasy or outright hostile relationship with facts and context, that’s a red flag. it doesn’t necessarily mean the principles they believe in are wrong, but you should be able to find other people with the same principles and a more honest approach. if you can’t, worry.
Sides that i'm a shitposting weeb who tries her best.
