The main character in the book I’m reading is pissing me off soooooo bad. I wish he was real so I could punch him in the face.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: 5 million years ago - a bunch of bedbugs lounge around in a living room, looking totally bored. Panel 2: another bedbug excitedly bursts through the front door and exclaims, “someone invented beds!” Panel 3: one of the bedbugs looks over their shoulder at the other and says, “you’re joking”

Last year our medical insurance went up so much that I had cut back a lot on comics, a thing I love. This year we got notified that the insurance is going up again, this time by 100%, essentially doubling. Which now means mostly no comics. The insurance industry has a stranglehold on so many people.

Last Friday I was out with the youth (21-25 y/o) and you would never guess where in Omaha they felt incredibly scared. It was Blackstone, the youth are scared of the gentrified area of Blackstone.

When Chris and I were in Ireland an old man stopped and chatted us up during a hike and one of the very first things he said to us was that he hoped Trump would die.

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

The FWS ruling & the English government's meddling in Scottish law over trans folk being able to change birth cert, the pausing of trans healthcare in Wales and the UK SC ruling's incompatibility with NI law proves trans folk will eventually unite Ireland and lead to Scots/Welsh independence.

One of the more insidious phrasings I've seen with the Dems/trans rights discourse lately is the idea that trans people are being greedy and demanding a "maximalist" approach to trans rights. No, you cannot call the state of rights American trans people had as recently as 2023 "maximalist," sorry.

Very disheartening to see more and more Dem politicians lean into anti trans positions and when trans people say "man, this sucks" they get swarmed by people yelling at them for handing elections to the GOP. Wish they had that energy for the politicians.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. By fostering connection, reducing stigma, and supporting those in need, we can all play a role in suicide prevention. Take a moment to remember - there is help, there is hope, there is healing.

Mostly yellow background, clock graphic on left. Text reads: Every 40 seconds someone loses their life to suicide. It's time to raise awareness and recognize our role to help prevent it. 1. Ask, 2. Listen, 3. Encourage them to seek help. Information source: World Health Organization, www.who.int

Double Indemnity (1944). "I killed him for the money and for a woman...and I didn't get the money and I didn't get the woman." Been a while since I'd seen this and watching it I realized a main ingredient in Columbo is Robinson's Keyes, the weird little guy who is the sharpest mind in the room.

It was annoying the hell out of me the new episodes of Lasso AND Lantern both had VERY overt Harry Potter references. Only to find out Lasso is also a Warner Bros production WB is trying to make sure you think Potter is massive, ubiquitous & unavoidable. ITS NOT. Just one studio hyping itself up

The thing that made the Curry Pennywise 100x better than the new one is that Curry could be, and was, terrifying, but ALSO could be an entirely believable friendly clown whose antics you're keen to lean in on to see even though there's just a hint of danger. A funny performer til it's too late.
