Calvin and Hobbes - It’s July Already
Short-staffing has become a major problem in all sectors. Retail, food service, health care, education, factory production lines, call centers, child care, IT, office support staff, etc. Every corner of our society and economy.
Now we know that even in creative spaces employers are not willing to hire sufficient staff to accomplish necessary tasks, demand workers do more than their fair share of work, for longer hours, without fair compensation or reasonable breaks/time off.
This needs to stop.
fished through my tumblr over dinner tonight to find this post bc i quote it all the time and i wanted to show my pal who’s a twin. his face fell. “that’s us”
his eyes were bloodshot and his mouth agape. i think he’s just in awe at how funny it is and i go “lol who’s sniff and who’s whimper” and he goes. “no. THAT’S US.”
called his brother to get here asap with the hard drives of the day they were born, spent the next hour doing a deep dive to find the source of this image and analyzing the video. the only differences are the sheet and crib they’re in but we think they may have been moved to a secondary location between the video and this image because their features are identical and the hats are the EXACT same down to how they’re resting on their heads, and they were not provided by the hospital.
i quote sniff and whimper every day. i show everybody i know this gif i think it is that funny. my friend and i were laying on the ground like two hours before dinner going “i’m sniff..” “i’m whimper!” in little voices.
i fucking know sniff and whimper. i’ve known sniff and whimper all along.
I really and truly do not want to live in a world where "Luxury Space Travel" is a normal thing, but guaranteed housing is still seen as

If you weren’t here for part one, lemme sum it up real fast:


Okay, all up to speed? We’re being served 80s throwback stuff with the serial numbers scratched off, re-labeled as yo totally 90s. What we’ve got now isn’t completely wrong, but I’m telling you, there’s so much gold left unmined.

As we saw in part one with Memphis Milano, these things get messy. Trends don’t start and end neatly every ten years. The first wave of 90s throwback attempts focused on the early part of the decade, and nobody since really pushed to represent the other seven years. Well, if you really wanna do something, I guess you gotta do it yourself.
I have suggestions. Get your flannel ready, we’ve got a lot of ground to cover.
