Scientists examine a 15-year-old girl who lived in the Inca Empire, then was sacrificed and remained frozen for 500 years….
Unearthed in 1999 from the 22,000-foot summit of Mount Llullaillaco, a volcano 300 miles west of here near the Chilean border, their frozen bodies were among the best preserved mummies ever found, with internal organs intact, blood still present in the heart and lungs, and skin and facial features mostly unscathed. No special effort had been made to preserve them. The cold and the dry, thin air did all the work. They froze to death as they slept, and 500 years later still looked like sleeping children, not mummies.This is “the maiden” and she is extraordinary. After a CAT scan or two it was determined that she had tuberculosis. Do you know what this means?!?!? It means that tuberculosis was a preexisting condition and not initially brought over to the Americas by Europeans. WOW
I actually thought this was a living person
holy whoa

So here’s what’s going on. Brentalfloss will continue, because I actually like doing those, and the current Alex Ze Pirate story will play out, because its 2 years old and is already finished.
But outside that I just can’t work anymore. It’s a testament to the seething hate that surrounds me that…
Christ, it took you long enough, Dobson. Thank you. If you get a moment of weakness down the line and feel the urge to start making original content again, fight it.
I know this is just one in a series of several other posts by people but… can we please not have so much “gloating?” You’ve already won, you don’t need to pour salt into an open wound. Please just leave me the fuck alone.
Okay, Dobson, I doubt you’ll see this.
But if it makes you feel any better, I’m sad you’re quitting. It doesn’t mean much coming from somebody who followed you when I was twelve years old on Deviantart, I know. But I enjoyed your comics, thought they were funny. People expected a hell of a lot from you, but all I wanted to see were your comics. So, I guess… Goodbye, and thanks for being one of my inspirations.
What if the trolls went to human high school but like everyone knew what trolls were so it wasn’t as weird but still like what if

[A small poem I wrote for my kyrielle assignment in writers craft. I got a lot of my inspiration from this video and from a couple other places as well.]
Sigh No More
Beyond your duty you stood proud
A rebel midst the common crowd
Remember those who you stood for
My little angel, sigh no…
