I just saw someone admonishing someone trans to shut up about trans rights because there are concentration camps in the US, and you know who I see overwhelmingly and disproportionately on the front lines standing up against concentration camps? Trans people.

You were probably out there saying "oh no we have to talk about how the border is a real problem, even though most of the shit they're talking about is made up" two years ago, when Democrats should have been fucking fighting as hard as they could on behalf of immigrants and our neighbors.

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. The heartbreaking reality is that many incarcerated people contemplate and/or die by suicide — even after release. This is what the mental health crisis looks like inside the carceral system 🧵

I view Deniz Camp as a sort of spiritual successor and Javier Rodríguez as a sort of spiritual successor to David Aja. This is obviously a flawed mindset because they are both phenomenal artists in their own right and not mere imitators.

Republicans aren't just saying they will kill or institutionalize or forcibly detransition all trans people: they are actively and overtly *campaigning on promising it*. And every day, cis people are saying that trans folks are fearmongering, overreacting, or don't know what genocide is.

Confined neurodivergent youth of color experience a distressing 120% higher odds of reporting being assaulted by staff than their white, neurotypical peers. This is not a system made to keep anyone–let alone vulnerable children–safe.

Fascism is scary and can be powerful destructive force, but it is not destiny and will never last. "Darkseid is" is propaganda, that's why he repeats it over and over, to make you think it's inevitable.

I like this because it goes with my reading of the Fourth World in that "Darkseid Isn't" or freedom beats fascism, a correlary to the Morrison "creation is more powerful than destruction"

A panel showing the heroes of the Absolute Universe, Darkseid is talking to evil Saturn girl and says "That point in their history... the present in their eyes... is unwritten. My creations there resist. They retain free will from their destiny."

People keep talking about how to have Batman or not in the DCU movies but the answer is simple: just use Batwoman. Batman can still be over there, doing things, but if Reeves won’t let them use Pattinson and you don’t want two actors playing Batman then but Batwoman in the other movies

I think part of the reason so few of the new Marvel in DC characters of the past few years have stuck is because the companies aren’t willing to risk giving them an ongoing series. Though that might be my ongoing vs miniseries bias

My eternal frustration with Wonder Woman is that it could be much more credible with only a few small changes. For example, if you give the plane a second set of wings, it's a lot more believable, due to bi invisibility.

I have a new blog post! This one is about the Geoff Johns (and others) stories Morlocks alongside Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes, and how I think his best stories are unflinchingly political. thethecomics.blog/2026/09/21/g...

GEOFF JOHNS VS LA MIGRA

The Writer’s Best Comics are Blunt Instruments As you probably are not aware, Geoff Johns wrote an X-Men book. Well, kind of. None of the X-Men characters are there, it doesn’t even say X-Men…

If House of X/Powers of X counts, then it's that for sure. If it doesn't, then probably Fall of the Mutants from the Claremont Run.

He's admitting it. He's saying out loud that everything he's ever voted for was bullshit. Nothing has ever directly impacted him. Not "boys in girls sports". Not "protecting the borders". None of it. This guy, every Republican, for decades, has only ever voted TO PUNISH OTHER PEOPLE FOR EXISTING.

Todd McFarlane on comic publishers refusing to actually advertise new books anywhere other than inside of other comic books. Source: The Comics Journal #152 (1992)

"In an Army base or one of the military bases. If you did an aerodynamic or aviation book, God forbid they’d actually put that into the Air Force. If you did a rock ‘n’ roll comic book, God forbid they’d advertise that in Rolling Stone. If they did a kiddie magazine, whew! You wouldn’t want to make a commercial of that. Kids are supposed to telepathically know that there’s a kiddie comic book out there and stop playing Nintendo and rush to their comic shop."
