Fuck this, fuck that, fuck all of these, and fuck THIS THING IN PARTICULAR.

Just get Linux Mint. It operates like Windows 10, installs like it, and almost every app has a linux version.

“People hate me and my shitty ugly car until I bribe their children with toys!”

the Cybertruck obviously stands out. I mean, we take the trailer out a lot, and I can go to a campground and there's 50 kids that come out:
"Cybertruck, Cybertruck, Cybertruck." I carry little toys inside the frunk so I can pass them out and give them to kids, and they love it. It's a lot of fun.

first of all, little kids flip out. And I've got little toys in the truck, and I give them out, and kids pose in front of Ithe carl for pictures. People cheer. I've never had people cheer, and I've had some pretty nice cars. For the most part, it's been this love that I've never experienced in other cars. So when people give negativity, I'm just like, 'OK.'

Take water and food, make sure someone you trust knows where you'll be and when you'll be back.

Pockets are your friends (backpacks and satchels are easy to grab if you need to run) - If in a higher risk area, go with a group if possible - at least one person should have medical supplies.

Fair point. I was gonna take it that far while I was typing, but decided it was a little much. Guess I was wrong.

I can respect that. Still, be careful. Even if you have nothing but your lives to lose, they're gonna take what they can to make examples.

Also, WEAR PLAIN CLOTHES AND COVER YOUR GODDAMN FACE. They WILL track you through that, too. It’s happened before.

I'm writing a college essay about self publishing comics and why artists should give it a shot/how it could launch them into something bigger/how magical it all is to have your story told. Hey @cartoonist.coop peers, anyone willing to answer some questions?

Keep. Fucking. QUIET about attending a protest. DO NOT sign up for it. Leave your phone OFF, buy things with CASH if you need to, use PUBLIC TRANSIT. BE SMART ABOUT THIS. The last thing you want is the government hunting you down because you got caught.

Since the No Kings stuff is coming up again, reminder that you 100% should not *sign up* for a protest. You can just show up.

Thanks so much to my mother, who threw out a broken doorknob with screws I needed to install a new one, because OF COURSE the ones that came with said new knob were too damn short.

It’s not a conspiracy anymore. Hasn’t been in years. It’s real goddamn life, and it’s out for us all.

What do you know, I'm now getting served ads and YouTube videos about Japanese mechanical pencils. Very expensive ones at that.

Frightening.

The amount that phones and computers spy on you to serve you ads is terrifying. I looked up some physical notepads to buy to take notes when reading stuff to give better feedback to people. My ads and recommendations start showing notepads.

Then comment to a friend that my mechanical pencil suck-
