Kerry Callen is a comic artist and blogger who draws parodies and comics in the style of old comic books. You’re probably familiar with a few of his works.
And of course, the iconic
I’ve seen a lot of his comics around on tumblr but never credited back to him and I just discovered he is the source so I’m posting this appreciation post here.
we should make fun of americans more. why dont their shops include tax in the price tag. like how much does this item cost? its a surprise 🙂
Honestly, tea. I’ve lived here my whole life and I have never once known what my total is gonna be at the register. Total fucking mystery.
im an ex-american living in new zealand for the past two years and it still never fails to blow my mind that i can take a $2 coin, walk up to a counter with two $1 items, and perform the expected transaction
wait WHAT
wtf america
Even better, the taxes vary from state to state. In mine we don’t have a sales tax, unless its on prepared food items, like a rotisserie chicken from a grocery store.
All the surrounding states? Sales tax.
You used to be able to do this in Japan, and then a couple of years ago they increased the sales tax, so suddenly restaurants/cafes with prices set in their menus (and so not easily changed without reprinting signs/menus) that USED to be tax-inclusive were now tax-exclusive and I Hate It So Much.
My name is Monica. And this is my sister Wiola and her six years old son Jakub.
Few months ago my sister’s husband left with another woman and has move to another country. We don’t know where excacly. He doesn’t pay for anything, he doesn’t send any money. He is a piece of shit. He was homophobic towards me, he cheated on her when she was pregnant. But my sister stayed with him because of the child.
Also she had to leave the place they live for the last 9 years because it was bought by his parents and they told her to move out. They never liked her and us to be honest because my family is poor.
She is back now in our parents home where I sill live too. There’s only two small rooms in the house, kitchen and one bathroom. All of this for 5 people now. They sleep on the floor in my bedrooom.
She wants to find a place to rent because right now she is stuck wth Jakub with me in my small room. She was a kindergarden teacher but the place got shut down because there was not enough children to teach. She is now unemployed with a son and tons of debts.
I don’t know how else to help her because I’m unemployed at this moment due to my severe depression. Please we can’t live like that for much longer.
Even a dollar makes a difference. And if you are not able to donate, please reblog.

My sister doesn’t have enough money to pay for lunch in school every month and the director of the school keep calling out on that. Because everyone needs to pay.

I’m talking with some friends over how some of the dream daddy fandom went down.
It took like a week before an artist got death threats over fanart and the devs had to step in and even the devs started getting harassed and death threats.
and before that, people harassed the devs over having to push back the release date so they could work on fixing a game-breaking bug.
and before that people harassed the devs over the “cult ending” that doesn’t even exist.
and then before that people spread rumors and told people to pirate the game because it was profiting off of LGBT people and developed by cishet white guys (Game Grumps) even though they didn’t do anything except promote the game and lend their voices.
and as a bonus, that one asshole that tried to scam people into making what was basically a rip off of dream daddy.
and within like, a month or two of the games release the fandom had died out. It’s sad because Dream Daddy from what I know is an actually good game. It’s just that the level of drama and identity politics within the fandom basically killed it. People want and literally talk about craving diversity and representation in media but when they get it, they just ajdlfakdafdfad fucking demolish and find everything that is wrong with it.
People are, for some inexplicable reason, more critical of people actually trying to represent LGBT issues and communities than they are of people Actively pretending we don’t exist.
People, especially on Tumblr, are unkind and stupid.
i guess im just too fucking dumb to lucid dream. cant ever realize im in a dream, i’ll look around me like damn i’m in my old elementary school and my teeth are falling out and im naked? well shit guess this is my life now. got fooled by my subconscious again lads
“Straight white conservative men are afraid they might have to keep their bigotry to themselves for 10 seconds. Literally everyone else is afraid that straight white conservative men will kill them.”
If your biggest fear is being stereotyped or labeled, you’re doing fine.
