“If they get their hands on us, they’ll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and wear our skins for blankets. If we’re lucky, they’ll do it in that order…”
I was under the impression that this webcomic is roughly contemporary; it’s been a while since Gaiman has lived in Menomonie — and there was enough noise about his split that I’d expect this crew to know that.
Um, last I checked he still lives there. He splits time there and at his wife Amanda Palmer’s place out east, so he’s not there as often as he used to be, but he still calls it home.

My brother texted the family group chat this quote before he went to work today. I'm not in a good place this morning, but we can't lose ourselves to despair. I know I have a lot of anger right now, but getting into whose fault that is won't help anyone.
Dwelling on the people I will never forgive won't help anyone.
I'm not that optimistic, but hope is a choice we can still make. It's a hard one to make this morning, but I'm still going to do my best. We are where we are, and focusing on yesterday won't change that. We can only move forward, and save as many as we can along the way.
There will be a tomorrow because we're going to make sure there's a tomorrow.

I’m waiting for the one person that always pipes up with, “Don’t kink shame!”

Ruth didn’t say it wasn’t an option for *someone*, just that that is the ONLY way it would be an option. ?
Death by snu/snu!

With the money they save on the super-cheap Expo option they could buy a fuckton of rat poison and paint to be used in advance.
What, legit possibility that Neil may show up for our con?! OF COURSE it is gonna be there!
