Stepped outside to walk across campus to a meeting and I got scorched by a desert-like sun on… checks calendar… October 12… in Wisconsin. Yep, sure, perfectly normal autumnal weather. 🌞🍳🍂

I end undergrad talks with the annoying 'comics advice' of: you have to sleep, you have to eat, you have to move your body in whatever way works for you, you have to engage with the world outside of your desk and outside of comics entirely. sleep is the foundation!! you can't compromise on that!!

The gendered reading stuff has prompted some introspection cos it's fair to say my reading of books by non-blokes is very clustered in particular areas: modern literary fiction, crime, literature in translation, indie comics and manga

Oh god, Darkplace as an RPG would be too much fun. Everyone bringing their best bad acting. Each character gets one thing - a weapon, a skill, an old friend, etc - which has not been previously mentioned but is suddenly necessary to advance the story.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

So, given the fact that thus film was so bad, it set Octavia Butler on the path of SF writer, is ‘Devil Girls from Mars’ one of the most important movies in the SF canon?

You see this all over, too. The obsession with civility serves the status quo every time. It’s not proper to publicly name your abuser or the vectors on which they abused you. It’s not polite to call a racist a racist. It’s so transparent and yet???

Scully there's been another unsubstantiated UFO sighting in the heartland of America. We've got to get there right away. Well, gee Mulder, there's also this report of a shipment of drugs and illegal weapons coming into New Jersey tonight. I hardly think the FBI is concerned with matters like that.

-both Hideaki Anno and Patrick McGoohan clearly both dealing with their frustrations at the world in such a way that seemed to, at the time break them, Anno’s depression/otaku lifestyle and McGoohan’s intense drive to break the shackles of TV stardom/his own religious and alcoholic demons.

The last few weeks, I've been rewatching 'The Prisoner' at work and I'm now in the last stretch of episodes where the show effectively disappears up its own arse and essentially goes full allegorical at times. You really can't escape the comparisons to Neon Genesis Evangelion, especially with

I did also enjoy issue 1 of the new #StarTrek IDW even if some aspects of the artwork will take some growing on me. I do like when SF comics from the US go for artists who don’t have an atypical western superhero comic book aesthetic. The Last Starship sadly seems over before it really begun.

The worst part about my heart condition is that any kind of discomfort in that geographic area (like pulling a muscle in my back near my heart) I’m now having to go ‘Am I having a heart attack’ and thus have to go to the ER.

An important corollary to the Surf Dracula tweet that I think should be talked about more, now that we're basically inundated with these types of shows, is that most of them don't get renewed, but even the ones that are don't turn into the weekly adventures of Surf Dracula in the second season.
Screenshot of a tweet from user @topherfluence: "back in the day if u did a tv show called surf dracula you'd see that fool surfing every week in new adventures but in the streaming era the entire 1st season gotta be a long ass flashback to how he got the surfboard until you finally get ot see him surf for 5 min in the finale"

Janeway thinks it’s a beautiful world when she gets to turn three members of the crew who are in need of bucking up in Voyager’s ‘The Good Shepherd.’ Miles rants a lot about American Work Culture. Tom Morello is also there if you look hard enough. #startrek #treksky (4/4)
