A Tom Gauld classic, scarily on track

This is a Tom Gauld comic strip about a female writer whose fictional dystopian novel becomes a reality. The essential information is:  A writer decides to write a novel set in a horrific dystopia. Frame 1 - "I'm going to shut myself away and write a novel set in a horrific dystopia" Frame 2 - 5 years later "Finished" Frame 3 - she steps out into a real life dystopia of women under control and armed guards, tanks and helicopters and exclaims "Damn!"

TIL: The earliest use of the word "terrorism" identified by the Oxford English Dictionary is a 1795 reference to tyrannical state behavior, the "reign of terrorism" in France."

The term was coined to describe the actions of the state during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror, where agents of the Committee of Public Safety, referred to as "Terrorists," enforced the government's policies with violence against perceived enemies.

TERRORISM was originally defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as "government by intimidation."

Goodnight, with a Tom Gauld classic 🌃🌃

A Tom Gauld cartoon. A father comes into a sons room. The son is reading books under the blanket - Fathee: OK, BUDDY. TIME TO STOP READING. Son: WHY? Father: WE ALL LIKE SPENDING TIME IN A FANTASY WORLD, BUT WE NEED TO SLEEP SO THAT TOMORROW WE CAN GO OUT AND CONFRONT ALL THE CHALLENGES THAT THE REAL WORLD WILL THROW AT US. Son: TOMORROW SOUNDS A LOT LESS FUN THAN STAYING UP LATE AND READING A BOOK. In the final frame the father joins his son reading under the blanket, obviously feeling his son has a point ...

Be weird. Be colorful. Help random people. 💕💕

gean-grey-blog, a social media post "One time I was leaving a friend's place and an older lady with basically no English came up to me and communicated that she was very cold and needed a ride. She pointed to tell me where to go. I got there and her daughter or granddaughter came out and was like omg her phone died we were worried And then the older lady said something and the younger lady translated. "She knew she could trust you because you have pink hair" I thought it was funny at the time. But when I think back on it I think she was basically saying "you had a visible sign of not vibing with the system I was afraid of" Be weird. Be colorful. Help random people."

Likewise. This. 💯💯

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."
