I poured my heart out about Marty Supreme, Jewish identity, why the Old Testament isn’t the same book as the Torah and what it takes to survive trauma open.substack.com/pub/naomiald...

look at me. I’m here. I’m the ultimate product of Hitler’s defeat
Marty Supreme is the most intensely Jewish movie I’ve ever seen in my life, and I ended up writing 5,000 words about it. buckle up.

Finished spread! The lives of different types of stars, the various ways they give back all they had taken in changed, and the new forms they give rise to! This took me some time to say the least! It's a lively place out there! On to the next spread (finale of this chapter!!) #Nostos #Unflattening 2
a spread for a comics page, black background, with white panel borders and most the drawings white on black. upper left of the spread, a swirl of the start of a star - emanating out from it in radiating arms, a number of different paths in brick-like interconnected panel border shapes. First radiating down and to the left the life of a brown dwarf - which never quite becomes a start. the next branch goes mostly down - a red dwarf which burns longer than the current life of the universe, but the path forks near the bottom, because some of these alternately flare up during their life. the next path is a dwarf star - much like our own - which is stable until it puffs up late in its life, then burst off much of its material to become a white dwarf. Here the path forks - in one branch it lives on as a white dwarf and nebula, in the other, when it has a partner star, it steals material from it and eventually becomes a type 1A supernova. Overlaid a bit on this set of paths and the red dwarf is an example of a binary star system and a six star system. Emanating from the middle of these paths from upper left and going across the spine of the book to the lower right, is a path filled with galaxies - the path loses its border in the middle showing a collection of galaxies. Upper right path is a blue super giant as we move right it goes nova becoming in one forking path a black hole, in another a spinning neutron star - and that forks to either continue or if paired, collide to go supernova and create heavy elements. Middle of right side, molecules formed by chemistry with these atoms forged in stars. new swirls form, and then we see another generation of stars in a grid set of panels and the Planets! formed around them. This is a generational cycle and the text reflects that

I don't like AI. Also I'm grateful to 404 for being one of the only technologically literate media companies covering tech without the breathless, uncritical (despite so much evidence!) excitement. You know. Like a journalist. Give em $ if you can so they can keep reporting.

It's unbelievable to me. I saw post by publicity in publisher's office with author discussing book & the clunky sound was off the telephone. They didn't even have a lapel mic. And don't get me started on the editing. After all this time you would think they could put together a socials video.

my statement on Ai from the mini-comic I'm making as syllabus for a new class I'm teaching this fall. It's simple, but I pretty much said all I have to say on it - it robs you of decisions and struggle - and the joy of being surprised. It robs you of learning...
a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

That this is happening is not in the least surprising (we all predicted it), but what’s most disgusting is GC/TERF women denying the direct lived experiences of other women as “scaremongering”. Truly, transphobia breaks your brain. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Same with The Hoax about the fake Howard Hughes memoir, the J T Leroy story, and Made You Look the NYC art forgery case, or Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos… You wonder why people don’t ask questions, but they want it to be true. Checking is waved when there’s money to be made.

“Now we’re fetishising these survival narratives — propagating the terrible idea that you can cure cancer, transcend poverty etc if you just have the right mindset and dream hard enough — or walk far enough…It gives the reader permission to ignore systematic issues or pain or injustice.”
