I love comics. And cookies. And kind people. And evidently, typos. Secretly Boomslang, the scaled speedster! Pronouns he/him - Transphobes and other bigots are not welcome here.

Hegseth knows damn well who he's pushing out: Black troops.

A solid storyteller who never got the appreciation he deserved. An artist that would cause me to pick up a book I didn't ordinarily buy.

Now that we've been treated to 15 scenes of Jordan telling people she just wants to get on with her life, can they just let her get on with her life? No one wants more time spent on the dang car accident. #gh

Remembering Joe Kubert on his 100th birthday The first drawing I ever hung up in my room was a copy I made of Joe‘s cover for "Justice Inc." Looking at that cover now, it's easy to see why I was enthralled by it. It had a sense of danger that wasn't present in the other comics I was reading.

And of course, if you’re a try before you buy kinda person, the original drafts of all of this are free on the website. Chapter ten is my favorite, and Cuddled Little Vice is obviously the big hit, but if you want a chapter that’s both representative and firing on all cylinders, try this one.

Chapter Six: Hello From the Cracks (The Abyss Gazes Also)
The line, of course, belongs to Rorschach, the glamorous poison at the heart of Watchmen’s appeal. Moore is self-effacing about the character these days, joking that his popularity is down to the fact...

Found this passage I wrote in a blog post from 2020, and thought it was worth reposting here. This is in response to someone who felt guilty having bought the work of people that turned out to be bad.
Well…you really shouldn’t. How could you have known? It’s not your fault. I mean, you have to go through life and make your decisions based on the idea that folks whose work you’re supporting are operating in good faith. You can’t buy a CD thinking while you hand over the money “I sure hope this guy isn’t a child molester!” You’d drive yourself crazy second-guessing yourself like that. Don’t feel bad that you supported someone who turned out to not be a good person. Don’t even feel bad that you enjoyed the work in the past. Just think “I know better now” and stop supporting that creator. Maybe that creator will make amends, work to better himself, do proper penance, and someday be worthy of support again. Or maybe not. But it’s all on the person who did wrong. It’s certainly not on you, the consumer who didn’t know.

Wait, so Marvel is making an imitation Captain America character an imitation Miracleman (who is himself an iteration of a Captain Marvel imitation). I wonder what their endgame is, because I just don't see it. Can't see him catching lasting attention.

Mitch McConnell's reappearance today led me to pull out this coin Valery Jung Estabrook created as part of her Impeach Mint art project. Never forget his ownership of the terrible times in which we live. That will forever be his legacy.
Front of coin: Mitch McConnell in front of a Republican elephant, and around the rim of the coin the words Mitch McConnell Senate Majority Leader.

Back of coin: The iconic Ruth Bader Ginsberg lace, with the words: "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed. Ruth Bader Ginsberg 9.18.2020 RIP." And then around the rim: McConnell, one hour after the death of RBG: "President Trump's nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate."

Separating the art from the artist with JK Rowling is like separating the girl scout cookies from the girl scouts. Your opinion on the cookies is irrelevant, their purpose is to fund scouting. Which is good! But if every cent funded hate groups, it'd be bad, even if the cookies were yummy as hell

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.
