How exactly does one become cursed like this? Just curious 😏

Something @mirandakeeling.com might appreciate, and with a small nod to the "Belgian Whistles" discourse.
A rainy day, a bus, two women talking about a third:
Woman 1: Fuckin 'elll...
Woman 2: I KNOW! You just never know where you stand, do ya?
Woman 1: She's like that Jacqueline Hyde.

Facebook reminds me that on this day in 2017 a woman turned to me in the veg section of Sainsbury's and said "hopefully now we've left the EU we can have loose carrots that aren't wet"

You don't know me, but I love you
Man on the DLR: Are you prepared for today’s meeting?
Woman: No.

Woman: I know it’s at 9am, Dave. And I remain, unprepared.

Do not gift them your violence
The thing fascism needs from you is your violence. It needs you to turn to your neighbors and feel comfortable dehumanizing them. It needs you to find a reason and for that reason to feel righteous. It needs that from you to thive. How is it getting it?
Cultivate truth, maintain your private life and ethics. Apply the ethics you want applied to yourself to everyone you know. There are not special ways to treat evil people and good people.

There are only your actions. Make sure they are just ones.

This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.
