You learn something new every day.

Comic drawn on a pink index card. Daily comic for 10/10/2025.

Part 1 - My coworker is showing me her phone screen. The caption reads "Look at this text I just got." The text preview from 2 minutes ago says "it's your lucky day! get a vag that tastes like a fruit basket for FREE..." The rest of the text preview is cut off. I say "Wow. A whole basket..."
Part 2 - My coworker looks back at her phone and says "I'm going to look up this company. This text looks like a scam... What's a yoni? I'm afraid to look it up..." I reply "I'm not."
Part 3 - I read the search results off my phone to my coworker who is cringing. The text in the search box reads "What is yoni" I ramble off snippets of what I see on screen: "symbol of the goddess... a yoni massage is a tantric experience... ...vulva, seat of femininity and Supreme spiritual power."

A small victory! Chat Control has been tabled for now, but it can [and likely will] be brought up for vote again in December

In the meantime, EU citizens will need to continue pressuring their respective govts to oppose chat control

However, do so knowing that pressure WORKS.

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 3d

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

Prompt 2: Preparation
Here's Jacky building another den.

A redheaded girl kneeling on a log roof laying moss. Surrounded by doodles of wooden crafts and fern leaves tied together. There's a coal burning with blue fire in the shape of a curled cat. Metal bells. String on a stick. A water bag. A wooden container with lid. And a candle holder in the shape of a cat.

And!!! Once you make it part of your routine it's so much easier to do!
I like to do my dailies as I walk home. I'm not doing much else during that time period anyway, so might as well make the most of it

#SaveSpeech

I want to remind people that when there is a call to action to "contact your reps", it needs to be more than once

Going forward, contacting your reps needs to become part of your routine, at the very least during the work week.

Sustained pressure over time is what matters!

Oh no. I am so shocked. Whoever could have seen this coming. It's like big databases like these would become a target. It's almost as if it was a terrible idea in the first place.

Luckily, I was not caught hiding the skeleton, as my coworker came in immediately after I walked away from the hiding spot.
October is truly the month for mischief!

Comic drawn on an orange index card. Daily comic for 10/09/2025.

Part 1 - Two of my co-workers wander off, leaving me sitting at my desk. The caption reads "Off to breakfast" with an arrow pointing at my co-workers.
Part 2 - I peer around the corner and watch to make sure both my co-workers have left through the door.
Part 3 - I whip my head around vigorously looking to make sure there is no one else here. The caption reads "No one's here."
Part 4 - I quickly spring up and grab my backpack out of the cabinet above my desk, laughing as I pull out a small plastic skeleton from my bag. "Nyeh heh heh!"
Part 5 - I zip around the office looking for a good spot to hide the skeleton. "Nope. Mmm... oh! Here's good!"
Part 6 - I stand smugly with my hands on my hips laughing to myself. "ehehehehehe So sneaky. Much stealth."
Part 7 - I look over to realize that P3 has walked into the office, and was watching me laugh by myself.

Drawing on a light pink sticky note. There is a scribble of a black skeleton sitting triumphantly in a wreath of sticks with its arms raised above its head. In the upper right corner there are icons indicating the co-workers who found the skeleton first and the one coworker who found it second. Second place coworker is very happy.
The caption reads "It was found later, at the end of the day twice, and given a new seat of honor in the Halloween wreath."

My preorder of CAVEMATE came in today!!!! 💜💜💜
I love these two!!! Their relationship is so cute! And Telen is a PURPLE. SPIDER. Can't ask for more than that.

I highly recommend checking out this comic by @darkchibishadow.bsky.social if you have the chance!

A comic book by the wonderful DCS. The comic book is titled CAVEMATE, and the cover depicts an underground scene of a giant purple drider (spider humanoid) and a human adventure holding a basket of vegetables. Laid on top of the comic book are two stickers of the same characters on the comic book cover, and a keychain of the purple drider eating a carrot.

Tomorrow I think I will smuggle in a 1ft tall skeleton and see how long it takes someone to find it.

One of my coworkers is holding up a small plastic skull in her hands, and asks "P1, what is this?" "Oh!" I say, "You found one of them!" Behind me and off screen, three of my other co-workers shout "*ONE* OF THEM?!"

No fucking way.
In the middle of a government shutdown, someone picked up the phone at my state governor's office. The same governor whose voice mailbox is continuously at capacity and never answers the phone.

Truly a miracle

I have learned the error of my ways when it comes to online shoe shopping.
One of the many things I learned is that "w" does not always mean "wide." Sometimes it means "women's."
I also learned that it didn't matter because I bought the wrong size anyways.

Comic drawn on a yellow index card. Daily comic for 10/07/2025.
Single part comic.
One of my female coworkers is drawn in the center of the image, poses dramatically in her lab coat with one leg up, planting a very cool tech wear boot on the office desk. Two of our other coworkers applaud in the background, shouting "Huzzah!"
The caption reads "And Lo, Cinderella was found, after a two day search, clad in a lab coat. Her small stature earning her the unwisely purchased non-refundable boots of incorrect size."

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript
