No drawing requests?
Fine, if that’s how you wanna play it here’s a drawing of my cat.
AND THERE’S MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
I need your help!
I’m pushing to do more proper drawing this year (remember when this thing was supposed to be a webcomic? Those were the days!) and I’m kinda rusty and blocked. If anybody could leave a few sketch requests/suggestions in the ask box or fanmail that would be super. I’m also trying to do this thing where I ask my strange husband to request drawings but sometimes they are so ridiculously COMPLICATED and INTRICATE that he forgets what he asked for before I even get a good start.
The Big Brain is a bit dumb sometimes. I need to borrow yours. XD
Your 13th GIF with subtitles is going to be your phrase for the day tomorrow.

Why Didn’t You Stand Up For Yourself?
From maverynthia, in response to No Flat Girls: How Allies Are Born —
It should also be noted that in the situation in that article, don’t expect for women to stand up in those situations when they think no one is on their side. Silence from men == agreement until otherwise stated.
I think this was very well-said and I wanted to highlight it :) The most common question (predominantly from people presenting male) is “Why didn’t you stand up for yourself?” I hope this answers it.

PAX Valkyrie: No Flat Girls: How Allies are Born
This is a story about gamer culture, casual sexism, the silence of friends, and its fallout - more or less in that order.
Firstly, context. I’m a recent graduate working as a game designer for a social games startup in New York City, and I identify strongly with other students and alumni who…
I know this isn’t our usual wheelhouse but I found this extremely poignant while also being nerdstuff-related.

How to Connect a Vintage VT220 Terminal to a Mac Pro
I freakin love this! I’d love to do something like this with linux.
You must be thinking of something else.
- Husband: What's Forever 21? Is that an engraving place?
- Me: No, it's a clothing store.
- Him: Hmm, I must be thinking of Things Engraved.
Quick question for my fellow linux users
Does anybody else run into the problem of having to refresh a page with a flash video say…ten or fifteen times before the video portion of the flash will load? I’ve even tried updating to the Flash 11 beta (64bit btw) and it hasn’t helped. I’m running Ubuntu 11.04, but I’ve had this problem since the 9.whatever versions or so.
Suggestions?
UPDATE: Adding medibuntu repositories and installing a couple codecs from there seemed to clear up the problem in firefox and opera, but not in chrome. Eventually I found a google support thread about this problem (after finally hitting on the right search phrase, which I’be been trying to do for weeks) and a user waaaay down the page suggested refreshing with ctrl+f5 instead of f5 by itself. In the 20 or so times I’ve tried it tonight that works on the first or second try each time, so I’d say that’s a workable solution at the moment. I’d definitely also say there’s a pretty persistent caching issue in chrome. Bleh. :P
Much thanks to mordes for helping me troubleshoot. ^^
