It feels elusive to me today. What I’ve learned in my journey is that even when something feels far away, it doesn’t mean it’s going to be work to get there. Sometimes, I just have to hold on and enjoy the ride. That doesn't mean life's…

We can sometimes be a little self-congratulatory, here in Seattle, about all of our good intentions. We disregard how apparent it is that all the good intentions in the world don't effect change. Change is difficult: it requires time…

So keep being, you beautiful creature.

We’re all down here in the mud, though some are dirtier than others. Do you really want to be the guy who is pointing your dirty finger at others shouting about how filthy they are?

Shame sucks. All the more so when it comes from people who are trying to shame someone into a narrow idea of what's acceptable. People shouldn't have to be ashamed of being who they are.

Happy Solstice everyone. We've been through the dark days, everything gets brighter from here on out. Peace on earth, good will to all.

Humanity is delusional. It’s one of our best features.

Untitled Comic for an Untitled Future. Every Tuesday and Thursday at emojiency.com and assaulting your senses through social media.

Forgot to post this here yesterday.

Every Tuesday and Thursday until the cows come home and orbiting the accretion disc of emojiency.com .

Low-Poly Comix, every Tuesday and Thursday right here and wherever fine social media is hawked, until it destroys civilization as we know it, then just here.

Classic front page story from The Onion , from the Jonnie Era. Christine Wenc found the whole batch of microfilm at the Wisconsin Historical Archive.
