The Perfect Explanation of Privilege – In One Powerful Punchline

“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.

Your honor I’m rewatching

I can’t imagine how good it must feel to be a truck driver when a car full of kids starts cheering because you actually honked for them.

I know I’ve posted abt it before but I’ll preach it from the rooftops, therapy is INCREDIBLY difficult to get, especially because it’s so expensive but let me let u in on something, therapy CAN BE FREE. You have to do a lot of digging and sometimes you even have to go to offices in person to get any answers but trust me, if you need therapy or know someone who needs it it is so worth it to dig around. (Of course the fact that you HAVE to fight so hard for free therapy is a flaw that should be fixed but until that happens we’re forced to go to the extremes) if you don’t know where to start look up “free therapy options near me” and do some digging, then if you find a place that offers something you send them as many emails as possible, call them, go there if you can. And get something sorted. If there’s nothing online then just look up offices near you and do the same thing, call, email, tell them your story, don’t be abrasive, just be pushy. If you need help but you can’t afford it, you need to advocate for yourself. It’s a shame because some people need therapy because they CANT advocate for themselves.

i think that mayhaps therapy should be cheaper. Or free. Mostly free. It should be more accessible.

(I’m having to convince my younger cousin that she Should Not feel guilty FOR FUCKING EATING. I love trying to convince a literal middle schooler not to develop an eating disorder. I should be paid for this.)

You know that post about drawing characters who die with scars from the way they died? Arthur's kinda already got that several times over by now, but after this latest death, is he just gonna like, have a whole network of scars tracing between every limb and beyond, like a patchwork quilt

I got bored at work and remembered this reblog, I HAD to sketch it

I can’t stand some Arther Lester designs, not because they aren’t good or the drawings are bad, but because they all look like my debate coach. The other day I saw one and had to do a double take because it was literally just my teacher MY WHOLE ASS TEACHER but with a few scars. I fear this fandom is a prison 👹👹👹

hey does anyone like my kayne (this is all i can see when he talks)

“Omg sam archivist???” NO NO NO NO SAM HASNT COMPELLED ANYONE TF???? DID WE LISTEN TO THE SAME EPISODE? Georgie AND sam both asked Alice questions before she told her story, BOTH OF THEM!!! And alive didn’t go on her long convoluted story because sam or Georgie asked her, she did it because the archivist was there listening and compelling, that’s literally what makes them realize the thing was there! I’m so SICK of all this “sam is the new archivist” nonesense, sam is not NEARLY bitchy or grumpy enough. Sam is a wonderful man and would never pry traumatic stories from the mouthed of victims. (No hate to Jon tho). This also makes me think that Gwen didn’t compel ink5oul, woild be fitting cause Gwen IS bitchy and grumpy enough but I really think that the archivist has been the one to compel people and mom elf the main cast (YET)

Percy if you ever feel bad about your fits just remember my entire closet looks like a run down Nike store and I walk around all day like this:

god i really am just some guy. you look at all my friends and they dress in interesting clothes and do their makeup and dye their hair and im just there like
