  • All art is a deeply subjective and personal experience, both in the creation and in the viewing. Your comment speaks volumes about what this piece of artwork evokes inside you.

    For me, it evoked a pleasant chuckle. I saw a socially inept man first making a woman uncomfortable with his staring, then trying to garner similar attention in a misguided way. I didn’t see anyone oppressing anyone, no burqas or toxic masculinity. Just a silly joke.








  • “Little to no” gender-affirming surgeries are being performed on minors in the United States, and those that are performed are overwhelmingly on cisgender minors.

    Out of the 151 breast reductions that were performed in 2019 on American minors, 146 (97 percent) were performed on cisgender males, according to a new study published in JAMA. Out of the 636 breast reductions performed on adults, 507 (80 percent) were performed on cisgender males.

    The study used data from 47,437,919 adults and 22,827,194 minors who were insured that year, finding that chest-related operations accounted for 1,591 out of 2,664 (59.7 percent) of surgical procedures performed on adults, and 82 of 85 (96.4 percent) of surgical procedures performed on minors.

    I’d bet that you were one of those cis kids that got his breasts reduced, and like a closeted priest you are publicly shaming what you privately do. But there is no shame in it. It is a non-issue, used by the ultra-wealthy to distract from their hubris.


  • I think this comic is more about the feeling of it. I certainly feel like my work-issued iphone gets more and more bogged-down with every major update, with less and less room for apps and media. It certainly feels like the only reason for the bloat is to goad me into buying cloud storage and/or a new model.

    And just to be clear, I’m not hating on apple. Given the predatory nature of late-stage capitalism, apple is probably the least-shitty of the IT megacorps.
