Chicago. Parent. Fat. Bisexual. Bipolar II. Loud. Still masking. Kind of cute if you squint. Nerdy, but in a way that's fairly socially acceptable now. I have a kid, Nikole, who is she/they and a spouse, N, who is he/him.

If you post queerphobic bullshit like "Elonia Musk" or two male politicians kissing or whatever then I'm blocking you.

You don't need to make "ewww gaaayyy" jokes about these dipshits. You can simply point to the actual harm they are actively doing. You don't need to make gay jokes period, in fact.

IMPORTANT reminder for when you print zines:

Set your printer to "Scale: 100%"

Many printers automatically resize to 94% or something, which will shrink the image and give you weird borders when you fold the zine.

Scale: 100%.

It’s that remarkable kind of charisma where you know that he didn’t fuck the couch but it wouldn’t matter if he did, because he’s an inherent couchfucker.
not so much uncharismatic as anticharismatic. all the charisma within a 10 mile radius ups and leaves as soon as he starts speaking.

In-state tuition and fees for our state university is about US$8k a semester. Assuming 2 semesters a year for for years that's 8 semesters that's $64,000 and doesn't include housing, medical, food, etc. It does include transit, though.
Out of curiosity: What does a bachelor’s degree cost at a regular college without any frills?

We support our daughter with around €1k a month, most of which goes towards housing and living expenses. The Uni cost €1k each year.

As a student, she has free health insurance and public transportation.

I know that this (tardive dyskinesia) is a very serious medication side effect that needs to be addressed but these commercials crack me up every time.

These ILLEGALS just need to do things LEGALLY.

Now, to wait until the final step of the (arduous, expensive, time consuming) legal process to kick them out! THAT'LL show them to do things legally!!!
ICE is arresting husbands & wives at their final green card interviews

They’re going to the immigration meeting to complete the final step in the legal process and leaving in handcuffs

One man had to take his crying infant from his wife’s arms as ICE forcibly detained her

This is cruel entrapment

I like the murder joke in isolation.

In context of the strip, she's been trying to fuck him. He proposed marriage to her because his fiance isn't putting out. That's a pretty big "difference" to have with your betrothed.

Also the third panel is clunky and adds nothing.

Whenever I roast brussels sprouts using the ATK recipe, I remember watching Christopher Kimball mock Bridget about it on the show. He said putting each sprout cut side down was tedious and took too long. He’s wrong in every way a person can be wrong. Eat a bee, Kimball

Ok so like... Lolly's obviously depressed and uncertain so she's retired to the pool with her parents to sit dejected in her bikini.

Whereupon we learn that Edda faced similar from Amos' mother, who we've never seen, and who "couldn't lay a hand on her."
