Freak Of Nurture

What I love most about Gen Z is how unbothered but simultaneously extremely bothered we are in general

“I’ll probably die in my 20s and even that is an overestimation of my lifespan. I don’t even give a fuck I just want it to be over soon”

“I stg that if you old dumbfucks do not fix the damage you did to the earth I will put hot sauce in your contact lens solution. Also just vaccinate your kid Jillian they’re probably not gonna end up autistic, you absolute idiot”

Hey Josie, do you know any comics similar to SnotGirl? I’ve read both volumes of Snotgirl, Papergirl, Motor Crush, and Heavy Vinyl. Do you have any suggestions? 💋

lumberjanes !! lots of lgbt (seriously, 2 or more lesbians, a trans girl, a nb kid too) main characters. it’s very warm and fun, and it reminds me of gravity falls honestly!! just a bunch of kids at camp in the woods, trying 2 earn their patches and defeating monsters along the way (& also pissing off their camp instructor)

bingo love! started out as a webcomic on tumblr, turned into a comic that now has physical copies out in stores. about two black wlw who come from disapproving families and have an amazing love story. talks about the hardships of dealing with your sexuality when you have children, too.

the backstagers ! more lgbt kids/teens, this time its more about mlm who are in theatre i’m pretty sure!! i havent actually read this one yet but i want to pick it up soon 

moonstruck - again, i haven’t actually read this one and i probably won’t (not my style honestly!) but it is a favorite among wlw on here especially due to it’s witchy themes!! :)

giant days !!!!! ive been meaning 2 read this for FOREVER and it follows three girls who go to university and become best friends! i’m 90% sure theres some lgbt/wlw stuff in it too

none of these are really thematically like snotgirl, and you probably won’t find a lot more comics that are like it because snotgirl is pretty much one of a kind, but all of these comics r super duper good and follow the indie/weird trend.

also, in case you didn’t know, snotgirl #11 comes out on august 8th and it’s supposed to be very gay.

if you need any more recs the blogs @dailyindiecomics and @lgbtincomics are where i always find mine :00

‘Hobby lobby stole the epic of Gilgamesh’ sounds insane and unbelievable if you didn’t already know. This was a while ago but I’ll never shut up bc this is insane.

Hobby lobby stole the epic of Gilgamesh

Hobby lobby stole the epic of Gilgamesh

Hobby lobby stole the epic of Gilgamesh

Now why did they do this? Hobby lobby is run by Christians and Christians don’t like the epic of Gilgamesh bc it also contains a flood myth that they feel causes question to the Bible

yeah people shouldnt be meanspirited and make fun of your harmless interests to your face for no reason but

1. you need to learn how to be secure in your interests, autism/adhd or not. its a life skill.

2. criticism shouldnt make you cry or get overwhelmingly defensive. worse things have happened then someone pointing out your interests have issues.

3. part of life is accepting not everyone likes what you like and move on. not for just everyone else's sake but your own.

4. its important to try and split your attention between more than one thing, and to have interests that are lower stimulus than your special interest.

🚨 Did you know you can call for ceasefire in Gaza by calling in sick this upcoming Monday?

Esral Shikh has organised a worldwide campaign to call for a permanent ceasefire in gaza. Here are the details:

Total Strike on Monday, 11 Dec 2023.

It is necessary to paralyse the movement of life and the economic wheel in all countries so everyone feels directly affected by the genocide happening in Gaza.

Start making communications, spreading the word, mobilise your communities.

This strike includes transportation, aviation, trade, banks, ports, and even schools and universities.

Here’s how you can join the strike:

Don't buy anything (cash or online)

Don't use your bank account, and don't make any transaction

Don't leave your house

Deactivate your Facebook accounts (you can reactivate them later)—please make sure to follow the palestinians on other social media platforms to keep updated on their posts

Leave 1-star reviews on Instagram, Whatsapp, and Facebook on your app store and play store for silencing pro-palestinian voices and supporting genocide.

I would also suggest to not stream anything for the whole day (incl spotify, netflix, youtube, hulu, paramount, amazon prime, etc)

Tweet using the hashtag #StrikeForGaza

[For US citizens] sign your strike card as well

Do all these things together for maximum pressure

We are protesting but our protests are going largely unnoticed by the people in power, so we need to increase pressure.

Stop all operations on a working day, let the world feel even a fraction of what it’s like to have your life put on hold. It’s only a day. We can do this. If we mobilise and get people together who support this cause, we can make this happen.

17,400+ people have been killed. 7,000+ of which are children. 1.9M people have been displaced. Please. You owe it to them to speak up. Please stop this. Please call for permanent ceasefire.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!!

It is short notice for some places, I apologise for that. These posts only just started circulating and showing up. Regardless, doesn’t hurt to try.
