Alyssa Voronin@davidrevoy When life gives you lemons, commit deicide.
Slatian@davidrevoy When life gives you lemons … use it for flavoring where appropriate, that’s way quicker than making lemonade 
Ténno Seremél’@davidrevoy A bug tracker account would have been more useful, though!

Panta Rhei@davidrevoy when live gives you lemons, ask for Tequila.☝️
ChristerIf life gives you melon, you might be dyslexic.
Alex@davidrevoy Life didn't give me lemons,
it gave me pants, and I've shit them
it gave me pants, and I've shit them
Yer Feff@davidrevoy
That lemon is probably going to make the best lemonade ever though.
Gorgeous work as always!
SomeVeganCheeseIsOk@davidrevoy a lemon would be a MUCH better gift than an unexpected pregnancy with roaches so she definitely needs to be grateful.
Pippa 🌈@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk PREGNANCY WITH ROACHES? as in roaches HATCHING FROM A VAGINA? mother of god i just woke up and regret opening mastodon 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
@pippa life, uh, finds a way 🪲
Tristen Grant@tristen Hey don't kinkshame Life. She might give *you* a gift too.
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk Are you ok?
@tristen My man, I am on mastodon talking about human women magically becoming pregnant with insect larvae, and that's the *least* awful gift I could imagine the anthropomorphic personification of life giving someone. What do you think?
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk I think not. Especially since your comment(s) come of of nowhere.
@tristen I'm not sure if you're playing along or actually hostile here. Comments "come out on nowhere" on public forums all the time. Did you think this was somehow a private space? I have sad news for you.
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk No, its just that your comment is wildly inappropriate for the comment/content you're posting about. Very odd thing to say about an all-ages comic that has nothing to do with what you said. Not trying to be hostile.
@tristen ohhhh I see. You're the Tone Police. You didn't display a badge so I didn't recognize you. Sorry Officer, I'll be more careful to only post *approved* content in the future. Would you be willing to double check my posts before I post them so I don't run afoul of the unspoken rules you've privately inferred about a public forum?
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk Lets say the post was a kid's comic. Would you say the same thing? Would it be appropriate? You CAN say whatever but sometimes so things aren't right to say in some context. Didn't your parents explain that to you? I don't think I was being hostile at all.
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk I'm not asking you to censor yourself. Just pointing out that throwing in shock humour and kink jokes under an all-ages comic isn't clever, it's tone-deaf. You can post whatever — but don’t be surprised when someone says 'hey, not cool here.' That’s not policing. That’s community.
@tristen Do some introspection here. You're picking on this comment because you can, not because it's actually necessary. You can't fix the bigger problems but you can verbally try and censor someone in public. So you're doing that because it's easy.
You and Cotton Mather would love each other.
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk No clue who Cotton Mather is.
@tristen if only you could search for that name on some handy reference! Oh well.
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk I assume it has something to do with censorship. Which I already said, I'm not trying to censor you. Just point out that what you said was gross and inappropriate.
@tristen "gross" as decided by you. "Inappropriate" as decided by you. What are you, a Karen?
Did anyone *ask* you to tell other people their comments were out of line? Did the artist give you a handkerchief to hold while you took me to task? Or did you take this on yourself, because you felt like part of the Upright Citizen's Brigade?
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk You, yourself said it was gross.
@tristen yes. And you thought grossness in text was "inappropriate" - you took me to task for it. Which is why I called you the Tone Police.
Serious question: Why? Why do you want my comment gone? Why *comment* at me, trying to control what I say, trying to put your negative feelings on me?
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk You put your gross, negativeness in the world. I simply said I felt it wasn't appropriate for an all-ages comic thread. If my expressing that bothered you so much, maybe don't post such things online. Think before you post, what is the context? How would others see it? I didn't report it or say you should delete it. Setting boundaries isn't tone-policing, and engaging in respectful conversation isn't lashing out. I wasn't rude or name-called. I was calm. You weren't.
@tristen Do you have *any* self-awareness about the things you've said here and how they apply to you?
@tristen you are setting boundaries outside your own scope. If you don't like to see content from me, you are *free* to block me. You do *not* get to tell me what to say in public on a public forum.
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk Did anyone like or praise your comment? I’ve said what I needed to. If you want to keep lashing out instead of reflecting, that’s your choice. I’m done here.
@tristen difference here: I don't expect likes and praise for what I say. I'm not here to be loved. That's not the *point*. If all you want in life is a shiny gold star from someone else, that is *toxic*.
Dude.
@tristen You're a piece of work, man. I'm not the one lashing out. I'm not the one posting on my timeline like I'm a victim of a conversation you started. I'm not the one trying to police other people's comments. I was cheerfully living my life when you decided that I offended your sensibilities by commenting on someone else's art and you took it upon yourself to make that fact known in an effort to... What? What did you want from handing down your judgement from on high?
@tristen I genuinely think this is a more horrifying comment than what I made on every level. Also, has anyone liked or praised your comments in this thread?
@tristen also, kink? Dude, that's gross. It was straight up horror. You maybe spent too much time on the Internet.
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk You're the one who said "Hey don't kinkshame". You brought up kinks.
@tristen I said don't kinkshame the character of Life in the comic, man. But sure, ascribe to the writer the motivation of the character, sure. 🙄
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk You added plenty of nonsense.
@tristen if it's a kid's comic it should be tagged "children's comic".
But it's not. And it's on Mastodon. I guess it's ok to post photos of burning, starving, emaciated children's corpses from war, but God forbid I make a silly gross comment about a comic because that might hurt *real* people. Ie, your little social group that you're trying to tone police for to achieve some sense of control over a chaotic world that scares you.
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk Alright, I can see I'm not talking to a reasonable, rational adult. Good luck to you.
@tristen hey man you're the one who said this was for kids. Now you're saying I'm too childish? 😂
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk I'm saying that when having a conversation, you're obviously only wanting to troll and argue. Did you look up the artist or what you're commenting on before you posted your weird, gross, sexual message?
@tristen You started the argument by being judgemental and priggish. Why are you surprised I'm not agreeing with you? Get over yourself. You're being a jerk.
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk I'm not at all surprised. I expected you to get defensive and unwilling to see how inappropriate your comment was in the context. I'm sorry you feel I'm being a jerk. Maybe you could think about what you say before posting? I doubt you will though.
@tristen my man, please take your own advice first. Think through why you felt the need to make a negative comment on what I said on someone else's post before you start acting like I pissed in your cereal.
Did they ask you to sweep their doorstep clean of the riffraf? Did anyone?
@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk I replied to your comment because it was a disgusting and crazy thing to say on a thread about an all-ages comic. If didn't expect anything, why post such things? I didn't start the conversation, you did. I already said, I was hoping your reflect and maybe not post such disgusting things when its not appropriate to do so.
ShovelTrouble@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk @davidrevoy Myths and legends don't tend to fuck around, do they?
Sindarina, Edge Case Detective@davidrevoy Time to make lemonade, Pepper! 😄
madison taylor@davidrevoy so much vitamin c!!!
mg. kit@davidrevoy this one resonates deeply
Pxl Phile@davidrevoy this fully colorized comic was made possible by the loving help of either tax form fill-in procrastinating or the filthy dishes in the kitchen sink that need to soak in another 2.5 days.
Linebyline@davidrevoy Forget the lemonade. Make lemon bars!
