Hello! My name is Bukoya or Solar, whatever you want to call me. This is my Blog of Reblogs where I usually blog and funnies, art, fantasies and space-related posts. My Art Blog

This is a quick comic about my illness for Mental Health Day! The comic depicts what I go through on a daily basis…well a sample of it. My depression is a feeling of racing bad thoughts and messages whenever I am triggered. This can happen to me unexpectedly or from a conflict. My comic may not represent what others suffer from their depression as mine is very insidious and a vicous spiral of despair. Mind you, this has been going on for over a decade and yes I do take medication and seek help. 

I will post the next comic tommrow. Have a great evening. 

For some reason this image didnt show: 

There you go…depression in a nut shell. 

I am losing my mind...

I can’t even get an once a peace no thanks to my insane mother. I swear she has dementia because now she doesn’t even know how to use a remote or even clean up a flooded kitchen. Yes, the kitchen got flooded today because the pipe bursted when she was trying to wash clothes and was stressing me out because she claimed the machine wasn’t working and interrupted me from working. 

After yelling at me about the neighbors and expecting me to help her the pipe bursted open and the water spilled out all over the kitchen. From there she goes on to blame me thinking I was the one that closed the loose pipe (because housing didn’t put it in right and it was left open but somehow closed itself overnight…) and goes on to rant about it as I finally broke down in the bathroom. 

She then has the audacity to come in and disregard that I am breaking down in tears and she hands me the phone to call housing? My reaction:  GET THE PHONE AWAY FROM ME!!!!

I exploded…..It’s bad enough I may have something going on with my brain after taking neuro tests at the neurology clinic yesterday and need and going to get an MRI this month…now this….all happening the DAY BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY..(Oct 5th)

I need to get out of here somehow……this place is hell….

If anyone wishes to donate anything so I can save up to leave this madness, please use ko-fi or my Patreon… I now give out free stuff to people who support me. 

I don’t even know if I can post a comic today on this condition….I swear I want to kill myself, I feel so close to doing that right now…its really tempting right now…

Someone…please help me….

Here are places to support me to purchase products: 

Thank you for your support…..happy early birthday to me……

Looks like my mom is back to being evil again. She’s not cooking and I’m low on funds. I’d you can help please do because I am at that point where I am losing my mind….

So done with life..so tired..

It’s times like this when I wished I had a decent paying job to move out of this horrid house. Once again, My mom is threatening not to make dinner for me after I called her out on her narcasstic behavior. She knows very well I don’t have a job and very little money to just buy my own food. This is really uncalled for and I’m just sick and tired of this. I’ve been working for the past few days to finish these back to school products and here she is making fun of the hard work I do, continues to say I do nothing and I am lazy and when. I do make a little bit of money, she demands some of that too. 

I’m just done…with her..

If you guys are able to help, here is my Ko-fi: 

I am adding a ton of back to school products as I am now trying to make Cosmic Funnies my official blogging job since no one wants to hire me so if you’re interested please check out the following:

In addition, I have a sticker sale on cosmic stickies that is ending in 6 days. It’s 50 percent off your whole order so please take advantage of it. 

The code is SUMMERSALE50 use that at checkout. 

I am going to have a back to school sale after this sticker sale ends if people are looking for a good discount on the new backpacks and other goods on the main cosmic funnies site. 

Thank you once again for your support, I hope to have the energy to finally finish all of these collections. I tend work late in the night to finally have peace to myself because that’s when my mom is asleep so you can send me a message anytime if you wish to speak with me. You can also send me an email too if you you like as I had recieved a few nice positive messages. 

I’m very tired…my depression has not helped either as I sleep till 2 pm every day and I am still tired. A part of me wants to go back to bed since the majority of my time, I lay not he bed working on my laptop. I finally had the energy to work on my desktop yesterday but I’m not sure about today. I did manage to sit at the dining room table with the laptop but, that’s really it. My motivation seems to be slipping a bit but I fight against it. I try not to have self doubt and when I do feel terrible, I pray and that seems to help me. 

Right now I am just very tired. It felt like I haven’t slept at all. She’s sucking the life out of me. 

I hope you all have a great day. Hopefully I have a new comic up by the end of this week. 

Please pass this along to anyone that is able to support me. I’m going through a tough time.

Only the strong survive. With those words forever etched in her mind, in a world where humans are no more, their civilization long forgotten, a lonely little lamb filled with rage and regret sets off on a gruesome journey of revenge against the Meat-Eaters who slaughtered her flock and devoured her mother.

After a year and half of work, Bianca is here, ready for its international release! But it needs your support to make it a reality.

Written by Paolo Margiotta and drawn by me, Bianca is a 128 pages graphic novel that will capture your heart!

That rabbit/hare post is messing me up. I’d thought they were synonyms. Their development and social behavior are all different. They can’t even interbreed. They don’t have the same number of chromosomes. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and coyotes can mate with each other and have fertile offspring but rabbits and hares cant even make infertile ones bc they just die in the womb. Wack.

These

are more genetically compatible than These

and that’s why morphology-based phylogeny has Issues

The problem is perspective. People always think dogs are the ‘standard’ animal, the metric to use for whether or not two organisms “look like” they’re related. When in fact they’re a massive outlier due to the fact that we fucked up this lineage of wolf beyond recognition with selective breeding. It’s why people always say “breed” when they mean “species”, especially when talking about groups like lizards which can’t even be defined cladistically since some of them are closer to snakes than each other. To say nothing of fish.

I once read an article that emphasized there is no such thing as a fish. Sharks and rays, lamprey, lobe-finned fish like lungfish and coelacanth, bichir and sturgeon, and of course the multiple infraclasses of more “modern” fish groups are all only very distantly related to one another. They’ve maintained semi-similar body structures only because there are limited ways to efficiently move through water as a vertebrate. 

This

And this

Are more distantly related from one another than you and I are from a lungfish

Which is absolutely fuckin wild.

Not only that, but all of us air-breathing land vertebrates, all the lizards and chickens and people and frogs, are closer to one another than those three “fish” are to one another as well.

these

are genetically closer than these

and…

these

are genetically closer than these

and my personal favorite, it really fucks with people…

these

are more genetically similar than these

Why Magical Girls Are Never Attacked During A Tranformation

As some of you might already have guessed, I’m a fan of Japanese girl idols. One of the many, many idol groups in existence today in Japan is NMB48, a Osaka-based spin-off group of the (in)famous AKB48. NMB has a weekly show that’s surprisingly entertaining as well as educational called NMB to Manabu-kun, in which the members of NMB and a few comedians listen to guest lectures by experts in various fields.

Back on May 15th, the theme of the episode was pataphysics/the science of sci-fi. One of the topics of the lecture held by university professor Yanagita Rikao was the age-old question of “WHY ARE MAGICAL GIRLS NEVER ATTACKED WHILE TRANSFORMING???”

This was his answer, based on the magical girl series Futari wa Pretty Cure.

Question: The transformation scenes in Pretty Cure are very long, so why don’t the bad guys attack the girls in the meantime?

“Even when I was little, I was thinking ‘Hey! Attack them now!’”

“I found this odd as well, so I watched the transformation scene many times. And what I noticed is, when the Pretty Cures yell ‘Dual Aurora Wave!’ and transform, a rainbow-colored column of light shoots up from the ground, going BOOM!”

“And then the Pretty Cures levitate, and go up into the air. Based on this, I believe the protagonists of Pretty Cure are being held up in the air by the power of light.”

“When we think of light, we usually think it heats up things or lights up things. But in reality, light has the power to hold up things as well.”

“When the sun is beating down on us in the summer, the human body is being pressed downwards by the sun beams with a force of 2/100,000g.”

“But this is only about a one-hundred of the weight of a mosquito, so no matter how hot it is, we don’t feel that sunlight is heavy.”

“So that means the light holding them up must be extremely strong. If we assume that the two Pretty Cures each weigh about 45kg and do some calculations…”

“It means the light during the transformation must have the energy of 2,100,000,000kW per 1m2.”

“While the entirety of power that Japan is capable of generating is only 100,000,000kW.”

“So they’re using 21 TIMES the amount of energy the whole of Japan can generate.”

“So what would happen if a bad guy jumped in to try to sabotage their transformation?”

“He would EVAPORATE INSTANTLY.”

DEATH AWAITS ANYONE WHO DARES TO DISRUPT A PRETTY CURE TRANSFORMATION.

“So this means the best thing to do would be to transform close to any bad guys.”

“Yes. They are the strongest while they transform, and are practically invincible.”

When you apply science to magical girls, you find out just how strong and horrifying they really would be.

ah yes, one of my favorite posts

Since I’m not seeing her name nearly enough on the press, let’s give the attention Katie Bouman deserves. Thanks to her, we are now possible to see the first ever image of a black hole, something that people talked 200 years ago for the first time. It’s no longer a myth. We are girls and we can be whatever we want to be. Einstein would be proud of you, Katie. Thank you!

Here you can see a huge stack of hard drives she used for Messier 87’s black hole image data.

These are $30 for one but stitches at the hospital are more expensive so this is pretty damn great

personally this is a blessing. Innovation in the face of pressure. I’ve never had a huge gash but I have had to have stitches more than once and it always bugged me that it was SO expensive to heal something that, with proper cleaning, probably would survive less extreme/involved methods of care. Like, it’s just a deep cut. I had to pay $1k once just to have them suture something I could definitely have done myself, if pressed.
