I just saw a thing where people blamed the Comics Code on SJWs
yeah the Comics Code was a real victory for people calling for more LGBT representation in comics! no, you assholes, that was YOU. Reactionary conservatives were responsible for the Comics Code, not “bleeding-heart liberal SJWs”, at least learn the most basic history of this shit if you’re gonna run your mouth about “comicsgate”.
wait like. the 1950s comics code?
what are people gonna blame “the SJWs” for next? the Hayes Code? the Magna Carta?? the Leges Langobadorum??? the Twelve Tables???? the Codex of Hammurabi?????
the SJWs have sent me down from Mount Sinai with two stone tablets bearing the names of my 10 most problematic faves

DC Comics Bombshells is the finest thing DC has EVER done :D
@theinnocentgear and I were at Steak and Shake tonight because we were hungry and it was right there, right? So we’re eating pretty mediocre food and talking about comics.
Our waitress was handling the tables around us and the family behind asked a question about something on the menu. She said she was new and didn’t know but would check.
Shortly after she brought the food to one of the nearby tables and the guy starts bitching. He misread the menu and wanted something else instead and is getting pissy about it. You misread, guy.
The table behind us gets their food. Immediately they start bitching–lady said she ordered a sandwich and not a salad by the same name. 10 year old starts complaining that there’s no cheese on the sandwich that I don’t think was supposed to have cheese on it anyway. Dad starts complaining that he wants chocolate ice cream and not a chocolate milk shake. Then they do it.
They demand the manager.
Then they start claiming that all their food was ice cold.
So we decide we can’t stand assholes and get up to pay, and I track down the waitress, tell her man, she’s has a bunch of rough tables but I want her to know she’s doing fine. It’s not much, I say, but I give her the six bucks in my wallet and say it’s to make up for the assholes. Tell her to try and have a good weekend.
I go to pay with my card and tip another six on our eleven dollar tab.
I hope the rest of her night went better. :(
Steak and Shake just attracts the worst people sometimes.
We’re pretty sure last time we were at our local Steak and Shake this woman and her kids pulled a dine and dash. She wanted to make sure she wasn’t seen coming in; we called her on using the fire exit and she spun her head around to get prissy with us when we pointed out that was not an entrance. We were sitting next to it and frankly, it was cold so opening the door at the very least earned her the stink eye. Plus it’s clearly marked. Not in little letters either. Big red ones that say FIRE EXIT, NOT AN ENTRANCE. Plus her saying they should have locked it if they didn’t want people coming in it was pretty dumb. You don’t block or lock fire exits. People have died from that!
We never saw her pay and she was out of there like a bat out of hell. Walked by her table to get out. She had just walked in and claimed a large table for her party of 4. No money left there either and it hadn’t been bused.
We can’t be sure (we asked but no one would confirm) but we’ve all worked enough service jobs to smell that rat.
I promised to guest on a comics podcast and talk about my favorite superhero.
So I guess I need to make a tough decision and pick a favorite.
Kate Bishop. You should clearly pick Kate Bishop.
This is where I’d lose my Marvel cred but honestly I loved the Question (both Vic and Renee), Booster Gold, or the Blue Beetle ( especially Jamie Reyes). I love a lot of heroes but those are ones that I really appreciate when they’re well written.
Let’s just not start on villians. We’d be here forever. I have a thing for good villians.
- Human: Dinosaurs went extinct millennia ago.
- Birds: *screaming at 5am*
- Human: Sometimes I can still hear their voices.
My take on the Lilac Breasted Roller. They’re such pretty birds. I normally stitch the whole bird but I kind of like the unfinished look on this one.
Show your friends how much you love them by sending them giant bird people. (Or just giant birds in the case of Rukhmar and Anzu.)
Nature You’re Weird
Driving back from lunch I saw two birds have a fight. There was an explosion of feathers and I think this is nature’s equivalent of grabbing out a hunk of hair during a fight.
Oh no, Dire Kookaburras! The fortune teller was right!
Bard (via outofcontextdnd)
Fucking cheeky birds but generally adorable. Only Australian bird I hated were the cockatoos waking me up when I’m on vacation.
Ca-caw! I’m a bird you only see in a pet store but I live in the gum trees around here being annoying to the humans! Ca-caw! They are loud.
