“The Pencilsword” is a comic strip by Toby Morris, an illustrator from New Zealand. His most recent comic, “On a Plate” hits hard at the heart of the issues of concerning wealth and privilege.
How many times have you heard the “I’ve never been handed anything on a platter” argument in regard to social security and other social benefits?
Toby wrecks this argument by showing how two children can grow up, be loved and supported, and yet still have two very different outcomes.
Make sure to follow all the way to the end for the powerful punchline. This comic is an increasingly sad reality for far too many of this nation’s children and families.

this is so amazing
Not gonna lie this got me a bit emotional.
I’ve been thinking about this comic recently and suddenly it came up on my dash. It still hits me hard.
OK, I'll be honest, I don't think I could manage giving anyone stitches. But my OCB compels me to keep an inordinate amount of bandaging on hand, so I can at least patch you up. And gods know I'm good at cleaning bloodstains.
So I’m just dashing off a quick post here to say that for me, personally, I cannot just off and punch a fascist in the face. Will I defend myself and my loved ones from immediate danger should it ever come to that? Absolutely. But my time for leading the vanguard has passed.
That said, if you ever need an alibi, a place to lay low, some (sloppy) stitches or a place to get the bloodstains out, look me up. I’m your huckleberry.
“Jolene, you’re so beautiful, Jolene, you’re so perfect, Jolene, your voice is just like the sound of summer rain, don’t mind me I’m just going to sublimate my anxiety about clearly being super in love with you into anxiety about my boyfriend, who is basically a featureless blob in this song that I wrote ostensibly about my love for him that’s really all about you, Jolene”
Thank god someone else sees it. Almost 2000 someones.
the day Black ppl stop getting criminalized for wearing their natural hair is the day nonblack ppl can freely emulate it without reminding us that Black bodies are not allowed to exist without transgression or retaliation.
Reactions to the tweet—including a fair amount of ridicule—were almost immediate. ThinkProgress editor Judd Legum's tweetstorm captures everything that's wrong with the analogy:
1. So we've done some calculations and we've fixed Donald Trump Jr.'s Skittles analogy https://t.co/ZcIgvMvkNX
Here's the kicker: The Skittles photo that Trump used for his tweet? It was taken by a refugee, and he is not happy about how Trump used it. "This was not done with my permission, I don't support his politics and I would never take his money to use it," David Kittos, a UK-based photographer, told the BBC.
And just in case you needed another reminder of what is actually happening in Syria:
An Italian neuroscientist who wants to perform the world’s first human head transplant next year is claiming to have conducted radical spinal cord experiments on mice, rats, and a dog. Experts say the results are vague and incomplete, and that talk of human head transplants are grossly premature.
I have no idea who these women are, but I'm fairly certain they need to be a superhero team.
I suspect that, in an actual ring, Natasha would twist Kaitlin into a pretzel. Let’s see if she can top her in an entirely non-physical poll battle. Oh, the suspense. Objectively, for me, this Sally LaPointe dress is wacky. Natasha looks like she chopped up a bedsheet on a dare. But she also looks very pretty with that great Read More ...
As for the fate of the GOP, the evidence mounts that it cannot go merrily on its way after the election. A party that would sanction people who call out a racist deserves to go out of business. A party whose congressional leaders remain supportive of a nominee who incites violence, perpetuates racism, blatantly, and traffics in conspiracy theories loses the moral authority to govern.
In essence, birtherism is a lenient dividing line. Any who excuse Trump’s involvement in birtherism and defend his current lies should not have a seat at the center-right political party. That still allows reconciliation with those Republicans who felt Trump was “better than Hillary” (patently wrong, but earnestly felt). That still allows embrace of Republicans who meekly put party above country by endorsing Trump. (From a personal standpoint many of us in the #NeverTrump camp could not personally vote for anyone who fell into any of the categories — be it Speaker of the House Paul Ryan or Florida Sen. Marco Rubio or Indiana Gov. Mike Pence; others are surely entitled to conclude differently.) Actively defending, excusing, covering up and minimizing Trump’s birtherism puts Republicans in the exact camp as David Duke, the alt-right and other white supremacists. They should not be welcome in whatever party follows the GOP.
“Whatever. I’m entitled. Jeez, they’re all rich anyway, and, besides,
the money just goes to big corporations, y'know? Anyway, if I like it,
maybe I’ll buy their next release. Yeah,
right – ha! And, anyway, who cares? Artists create for the love, man,
not for money. They should be glad I’m paying them any attention at
all.”
After all, a smiling Bell explains, women are only making 77 cents to a man’s dollar. She’s quickly corrected by a Black woman, who only makes 60 cents to the dollar. A Latina woman then reveals she’s only getting 55 cents.
Ever leave a window open and get snow in your car? Well, in the tropics they have another problem: Hepler’s mold. The bright fungus naturally eats away at trees but naugahyde (the fake leather in most cars) contains ten times more cumulus oophorus cells than the tree bark from which its made.
And here’s the result. The bright fungus has completely consumed the car’s interior. It may look soft and cushy but you’d find no place in the world less comfortable, as the mold can also grow in human lungs. The spores from this car would kill a passenger within ten minutes. The bright fibers of victims erupt from their mouths in a gruesome spectacle that the natives of these regions call “Elmo’s Death”.
I like how men tell us that periods are somehow simultaneously “not that bad” and also bad enough that we shouldn’t be allowed to hold positions of power.
Have you ever wanted to be more assertive and get what you want, but are worried that you’ll end up becoming a jerk? Here’s a simple guide to tell the difference: if you’re only controlling your own actions, you’re being assertive. If you’re trying to control someone else, you’re becoming aggressive.
