The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Thanks! On the plus side in my time I was able to redirect young women away from my coach and the super hostile sexist environment he cultivated.. helping out with jr high wrestling club was encouraged, so I talked to a lot of parents, and told them about my experience at that school, with that coach, and recommended looking for another for their upcoming female wrestlers.
I hope they had an easier time :) I genuinely enjoyed doing it, against mixed sex opponents. Male and female bodies have different strategies, and keeping them separated is stupid imho.
At such a young age you might not have realized, but most families do not have school choice. Were you aware of that?
17 isn’t that young, I was emancipated and thus a legal adult at the time (for convenience and work).. but yes I was fully aware of how the districts around me worked, because I used the choice program myself multiple times.
That didn’t stop me from warning the up-and-coming families, some years before it would have become an issue, so they could figure out what to do about it for themselves. None of my business beyond raising the warning call.
