Gen X is way smaller than both the Boomers and Millennials as a population. Even if they skewed heaviest toward DooDoo Donny of the three, I'm not sure their impact would be that important.
Don't forget to throw mass Federal layoffs into the mix.
There's an entire sub-genre in comics that's just Garfield riffs and I am the hugest of fans.
I love the fact Troi was sat directly on Picard's left. I felt like it recognized the importance of emotion in being a human and how greatly that affects everything we do. She was like an emotional navigator and as important as the First Officer.
But then it felt like the writers had no idea what to do with her, so she just ate chocolate & crashed the ship. What a colossal waste lol.
That's not what this article is about. You can't just tell all these kids, "well fuck you, you lost & are the minority so eat shit librard losers! Anyways, about Thanksgiving, let's say five-ish?"
Trump voters are going to have to grapple with the fact they're morally repugnant to many of us. Sorry not sorry.
Ah, I'm sorry. Hang in there.
I'm hoping my State doesn't suck his balls like last time.
I could not disagree more. There's a lot of dudes who really, REALLY hate women. I mean, that should be self evident.
Also, to be clear, there's very good, reasons for folks to be skeptical about inviting men into allied spaces. It's complex. People are complex.
This. Right. Here.
Stop the triangulation it needs to die already.
This attitude just encourages the Democrats' reliance on triangulation that looses them elections and makes the Right more extreme. You have to stop.
No, man, that's in Canada where it's natural. In the States, we use Froot. They're Froot Loops.
That's why we need RFK, maaaaaaaaaan.
There are no consequences for him for anything ever. What the fuck does he care?
I see what you're saying, and I actually completely agree with a lot of the sentiment. I think the real issue is broader than simple demographics.
That said, if you feel like the obvious alienation men are feeling from allied spaces isn't a big deal, well, I guess that's something you can choose to ignore at your own peril. I don't think it's a good idea, but I'm just some stupid dude.
An I demographic blaming?
Honest question, why so defensive? This post is demographic blaming, but am I supposed to go, "oh yeah I suck even though I am an ally." Is that it? Is that what you want? Subservience? Or an honest conversation so we can move forward?
Omg thank you, lol. I am not in touch with gun culture at all.
Please don't get me confused, I don't think it's good this many men voted for The Stain. Also, 52% of WHITE women, but I bet if you combined ALL women, that number would drop dramatically.
My broader point is, IMO, that 42% never gets talked about so why would it grow, yeah?
Or, put another way, when I talk about women, who are my allies against the Patriarchy, I speak of why I like them (because I do, I LOVE women). They are resilient, strong, resourceful, grounded, etc, all the good stuff, and I try to include all women in that, they are my allies. I try NOT to focus on trad wives, manipulators, "gold diggers", abusers, weirdos like MTG or Caitlyn Jenner , you know, bad people (and there are plenty).
But when I hear about men in the ally space, it feels like I hear all about how awful and dangerous we are and that's it. And there's ALWAYS this group of guys willing to go along with it and point and go "yeah, we totally suck! You guys saying we don't are the real problem!" But, how is that motivating to anyone? It makes me upset, anyways. Maybe I'm just a big emotional baby, who knows?
Anyways, I'm blabbing. Bad habit of mine.
This isn't going to be popular, but part of the problem is not acknowledging that 42%. It's fucking insulting, frankly. Plenty of women voted for the bear.
EDIT: In light of reports of tons of guys saying "your body my choice" and shit, I actually regret writing this & everything below.
Like, what the fuck, boys?
Actually, the problem appears to be exactly voter turn out. With a healthy heaping of Neo-Liberal rot in the Democratic Party.

Brush & ink on bristol board
Bored somewhere I can't leave, so uploading a sketch I happen to have on my phone camera while I wait.
Brush & India ink on vellum bristol
I'm not sure if this piece is finished, but I'm done with it, if that makes sense.
About 9.5" x 9.5"
Brushpen comparison
Experimenting with different pens in a sketchbook, I thought it might be interesting to try this contrast. The page on the right was done with the fattest pen from this brand line while the left was done with the thinnest.
If this sub isn't really for sketchbook work, my bad, please just let me know .
Scratch art (2.5x2.75")
I found the tool I use for scratchboard/paper, so here it is. It looks like a pen, but is actually a flexible little blade.
I hope you enjoy!
Scratchboard appx 3x3"
Scratchboard sketch (scratchpaper? That's kind of something else. Anyways).
The tool I use looks sort of like a calligraphy pen, but is a flexible blade. I seem to have misplaced it, so, that's annoying. I'll try to include a picture next time.
I hope you enjoy.
Ink on bristol
I'm realizing folks like to see the tools people use when they draw so I included that this time. It's a brush that's too small tbh (a friggin' size 4/0) but it's nice & I got it for extremely cheap.
Hope you're having a swell day!
Thin Scratchboard/paper (3 x 3.5")
This is done on paper that mimics scratch board, but is waaaaaaaay cheaper. Somewhat hard to find without rainbow colors underneath, unfortunately.
Sketch: brush & ink
I've been post my experimental illustrations over on Pixelfed (@monstrosity@pixelfed.social) and would like to cross post here, too.
If it gets annoying, mods let me know. Otherwise, I hope you like it!
