can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

1 away from capping our Es Laf++ bracket! Unless we get like 2 extra setups I'm unlikely to raise the cap so get in while you can.

Inspired by @tommytoledo.ohiofgc.com I've made the website www.washingtonfgc.com

If there's anything I missed please dm me. I'll be slowly updating it over time so it looks nicer but for now it's to have something there when you google "washington fgc".

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."
A few days after this cartoon was published, my syndicate received a very indignant letter from someone representing the Jane Goodall Institute. Not only did my syndicate and I both get read the Riot Act, there was a vague implication that litigation over this cartoon might be around the corner. I was horrified. Not so much from a fear of being sued (I just couldn't see how this cartoon could be construed as anything but silly, but because of my deep respect for Jane Goodall and her well-known contributions to pri-matology. The last thing in the world I would have intentionally done was offend Dr. Goodall in any way. Before I had a chance to write my apology, another complication arose. The National Geographic Society contacted my syndicate and expressed a desire to reprint the cartoon in a special centennial issue of their magazine. My editor, aware of what had just occurred, declined, explaining why. Apparently, whoever it was that sent the inquiry from National Geographic was shocked. They told my editor that "that doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know." They did some checking themselves, and an interesting fact was eventually discovered: Jane Goodall loved the cartoon. Furthermore, she was totally unaware that any of this "stuff" was going on. Some phone calls were made, and the cartoon was not only reprinted in the centennial issue of National Geographic, but was also used by her Institute on a T-shirt for fund-raising purposes. I've since had an opportunity to visit Dr. Goodall at her research facility in Gombe. It's a wonderful place (sort of like right out of National Geographic). "To refer to Dr. Goodall as a tramp is inexcusable even by a self-described 'loony' as Larson. The cartoon was incredibly offensive and in such poor taste that readers might well question the editorial judgment of running such an atrocity in a newspaper that reputes to be supplying news to persons with a better than average intelligence. The cartoon and its message were absolutely stupid." —Excerpt from the above-mentioned letter that started the ruckus

Honestly had a lot of nerves and wasn't feeling confident going into Just Block but managed to at least get the top 8. Been worried that my success at locals wouldn't transfer when the lights got brighter but I've proven (at least to myself) I can still be consistent

im excited for the fighting game event this weekend but im NOT excited about no masking requirement. i hate that for so many events people just accept that covid will spread at them instead of even trying to get people to maybe inconvenience themselves a tiny bit for the good of the community

Seattle: if you're near downtown and want a PAX-adjacent gaming thing to do, for FREE, the Seattle Indies Expo (SIX) at Motif Hotel is the best it's ever been. Two floors; dozens of playable, unique games. Open from now til 6 (plus some kind of connected party in the same space from 6-9).

Fighting game fans will know him as the voice of Slayer from Guilty Gear since Revelator in 2016.

Rest in peace, his voice brought an unmatched kind of dignified aura to a fan favourite character.
