Moving all my stuff into a new place.

This comic is one of the only things I have done that I actually feel proud of,

It's such an odd feeling.

But I love it.

And I love you, so I thought I would share it with you.

1/2
Panel 1. The word Énouement is written in white, against a dark field of stars. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows defines énouement as "the bittersweetness of having arrived here in the future, where you can finally get the answers to how things turn out in the real world—who your baby sister would become, what your friends would end up doing, where your choices would lead you, exactly when you’d lose the people you took for granted—which is priceless intel that you instinctively want to share with anybody who hadn’t already made the journey, as if there was some part of you who had volunteered to stay behind, who was still stationed at a forgotten outpost somewhere in the past, still eagerly awaiting news from the front." I think it's such a perfect word. Leave it to the French. My name, Samantha Richardson, sits in the corner of the panel, also written in white. Panel 2: A child is asleep in a dark room. There is a stuffed dinosaur lying on top of them. A Dark Crystal poster hangs on the wall behind them, as well as a childish drawing of a T.rex. Panel 3: Same scene, but a crack of light, as if from an opened door, falls across the child. Panel 4: A person dressed in a long green coat and rolled-up pants stands in the middle of the room, which is again dark. The person is carrying a duffle bag. We see dinosaurs, books, and clothing strewn across the floor. The person says, "Hey." Panel 5: The person sits on the child's bed, and we see now she is a woman with brown hair, grown out from a purple coloring job. Panel 5: Close up on the woman, who, seeming to speak to the room in general, says, "So, I know how sad you are. I know how you cry yourself to sleep some nights." "I know how angry you feel." "How scared." Panel 7: The woman picks up the stuffed dinosaur, which is green with widely-spaced, thin, purple stripe. She holds it almost timidly. Panel 8: Close-up on the dinosaur head, which has a plaid white and blue patch sewn onto the neck. The woman says, "I know what the years that are coming are going to be like." "And I am so sorry." Panel 9: The woman holds the dinosaur gently to her cheek, and a darkness seems to gather behind her. Panel 10: The darkness coalesces into a cloud over her head, and the woman buries her face into the dinosaur's back, hugging it tightly. Panel 11: The woman pulls her face away from the stuffed dinosaur, and the dark cloud appears to break up. Panel 12: The woman straightens, tears running down her face. The cloud dissipates. Panel 13: The woman offers a small smile, still crying. She says, "But..." Panel 14: There is a Boba Fett toy on the floor, a sock, a toy T.rex, and 2 issues of The Uncanny X-men comics, issues 167 and 168. The woman continues, "...You're going to have good times, too. You'll have amazing friends." Panel 15: More floor. In this panel there is a blue, hard-back cover of The Book of Mormon, and a red scripture-marking pencil. The woman says, "You're going to serve a mission in Portugal. You're gonna fall in love." Panel 16: The top of a night stand, we see a small plastic sauropod, a green army man with a bazooka, and an orange Swedish Dala horse. The woman's dialog reads: "You're going to visit Sweden. A lot." Panel 17: Floor again, where a plastic two-headed dragon battles a knight and ranger. More dialog: "And...Dungeons and Dragons. It's totally going to change your life." Panel 18: The woman is reaching hesitantly towards the child. The woman says, "And there's Jurassic Park, and SO many superhero movies, even if the X-men ones are kinda terrible."

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!
Getting off US tech: a guide
I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Useful tip for navigating life: Most people do not actually hate you. They might not understand or relate to you, but most other human beings are perfectly happy to let you do you.

It's only a few of them who ever feel the need or desire to scapegoat you to avoid acknowledging their own problems.

had to draw this
Art of two girls, one with a faux-realistic-style combat suit with a muzzle and collar with a leash on, and the other in an anime-inspired zip-up suit with bright red hair and a yellow scarf flowing in the wind. The first stares ahead, hands out, with a dead, glassy look. She says "Me and my Mecha Unit are melded together like flesh. When I exit the womb of the angel of death I can feel the monster I am for a brief moment before the post-combat sedatives kick in. My limbs are too short. My flesh too weak. My body too malleable. I only feel at peace when I am in Her, gnashing my teeth at the chance to enter the ring of glory and come out victorious. It is a brutal, animalistic life, and yet how am I supposed to pass for anything resembling a human when I've been taught to be nothing but a hound with a thirst for blood?" The anime-inspired girl says "Golly! That sounds intense! Me and my robot have been best friends since I was five years old and our bond lets us punch aliens with giant energy beam fists."

the less Justification you need for anything, the freer your mind. Expand your notion of your virtues. Deepen your commitment to your own. The less you need to Justify, because you Allow it, or because you Trust yourself, the less you spend of yourself upon it

it is not your responsibility to force others to understand you, they either will or they won’t, and cutting off or hiding parts of yourself to make it easier for them is not going to help you to be understood better. it will, however, make you bleed

Currently on the phone with Visa

Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use

The call center rep immediately asked if it was about Steam/itch

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane

Please enjoy these shelter pups reacting to getting a kiss. Some are bashful, some have butterflies, and all deserve approximately 10 million more. 14/10 for all
