I made another weird little comic thing, hopeful and a little bittersweet, about conservation after the apocalypse. A topic near and dear to my heart, Lord knows. (Technical notes in another thread, linked at the end.)
I was amused to discover that @idriselba is in three different movies currently showing at a theater near me. :)

How about this (perhaps unoriginal) way to reduce recurring meetings. Make sure that they always have an agenda or list of topics. A few hours before each meeting occurrence, automatically poll attendees to see if they have any questions or updates.
Ok, honest question: If everyone hates meetings so much, why are there so many meetings? Is it like, they're actually useful but they still suck? Or is it they're useless and also they suck? In which case, why are there still so many?

If women wrote about men the way men write about women:
“He sighed, his medium-sized balls bobbing in his jeans like buoys in a sea of denim, rising and falling with his breath. They were not the firm, boisterous nuts of a young man. He lamented this as much as the years lost.”
