HEY ALL, I just finished chapter 18 of Ironheart-Rune, my action-comedy-fantasy comic about a cursed girl who wants to be a knight and her new best friend a dragon who is also a maiden. It's 48 pages and $3 until the next one is done. I hope you enjoy 💖 ironheart-rune.itch.io/ihr18

Lot of conversation about antisemitism this week so just a gentle reminder that we don’t hyphenate the word, because it implies there is such a thing as a “Semitic” race (there isn’t, there’s only Semitic language) - and implying there is a Jewish race is of course deadly for the Jews. More info:
Screenshot of a twitter thread: 

"Semitism" is not a real thing, it comes from the word Semitic, referring to a group of languages originating from the Middle East.

In 1867 an antisemitic German journalist started using the term "Anti-Semitic" to refer to prejudice against Jewish people because he perceived us as an inferior race and not just a religious group, and then the term caught on.

But using it with the hyphen would imply that "anti-semitism" is hate against Semites which again is not a real group and it was just a way for antisemites to attempt to classify Jews into this pseudo-scientific racial group which they thought was inferior

We use "antisemitism" without the hyphen to distinguish from the semitic language group (and these hateful origins) when discussing pre against Jewish people.

Hey, so am I the only person who saw this in Dragon Age: Inquisition or was this just a special treat for me? I think about Sir Nug Muffin a lot. (My character fell through the Keep at some point and this thing played music, but not the music or ambient sounds I could hear from above?)
