Got my flu and covid shots last weekend because of a busy schedule the next few weeks, if like me you usually leave it to late October/November you might want to go a bit early.

Japan is reporting a flu epidemic much earlier than is usual. This early season could have implications for other countries via international travel so do get your flu vaccines (if you can) soon! 🧪 #HealthPolicy

Japan declares a flu epidemic — what this means for other nations

Panel 1: Text says "My dad was an orc". It's a green orc wearing a dress shirt with a purple tie and glasses, holding a cup of coffee. The cup is made of stone and has an ragged axe blade on it. He also has a pencil in his pocket protector, and the pencil is also a tiny axe.

Panel 2: Text says "My mom was a witch". It's a woman with green skin and one yellow eye, glowing and emanating magic, gleaming from beneath her big purple witch had, which has small wood constructions hanging off of it and two pins on it: one of a mushroom and one of the Newgrounds angry face. He's wearing jeans and a Costco tank top, with a reddish purple vest over it, and is holding a broom and a tote bag with a bag of chips visible within it.

Panel 3: Text says "You'd think I'd be some kind of magical berserker". We are looking overhead at a muscular green man looking up at us, with his arms splayed out in a powerful stance, and his left arm holding an axe. He has a dark purple had and shoulder-cape, and smiles with malice. Text continues, saying "but actually I ended up with my MOM'S strength and my DAD'S magic attunement."

Panel 4: A normal looking with green skin, messy purple hair, big round glasses, and a pointy nose, wearing a t-shirt with the night sky in a square in the center, says "so, basically, I'm green."

I, an absolute nobody account, have had to remove replies and block folks from the most milquetoast comment about it feeling good to attend a protest.

Finally! I’ve broken through the glass ceiling for old, white men hoping to work in animation.
Be sure to tune in. As I tell all my lovers, this might just be the best 20 seconds of your life.

Emphasizing this message. Going out to the last NoKings did more for my sense of being part of a greater whole (that hates whats happening to this country) than any amount of time online.

This pitiful monarchist loser knows Americans hate kings, and that is good.

Find a #NoKings protest near you and GO on 10/18, friends. It'll be inspiring and fun and it will help.

(And no, you don't have to RSVP if you don't want to - just show up!)
