PSA: When you see the exact same text post wording from multiple users, even if the content seems positive: ask why artificial boosting is necessary, and block suspicious/bot-like users asap. at worst, you’ll be blocking a human plagiarist and/or a careless genAI user.

Screenshot of post (already was a screenshot) of OP dragon-in-a-fez post: “keep thinking about how i wrote in my dissertation about how every time a new form of public/social space emerges it’s immediately popular with kids and teenagers who see it as a chance at freedom and then adults colonize iy and kick them out. this happened with malls in the 80s and diners in the 50s and pool halls in the 20s. my DAD was doing research on this trend in like 1975. and i was like “yeah so this is going to happen to the internet” and then five years later every government suddenly decided to ban kids from everywhere online. I hate being right especially when I don’t even get paid for it”

Apropos of, well, everything lately:

Screenshot of social media post from another site by OP @pangmeli: wake me up when male loneliness isn’t an implicit grievance against women for not donating themselves. wake me up when a man tries actually contacting another man / (2nd post in thread): I resent how the onus is always placed solely on women and mothers to solve men’s social deprivation issues, and never on men to a) initiate social warmth with each other and b) receive social warmth without immediately making it weird

Absolutely worth a read, for your daily dose of salty, unsinkable hope:

Pull quote from the attached article: Fascism always fails.

It is destructive and it is awful and not everyone lives to see the other side, but it always, always fails. It takes work. It takes fighting back. It takes throwing punches. It takes doing whatever it takes to beat it back, to protect those that are most vulnerable from its many attacks. And through it all, it feels impossible that we will win.

But we will.

Two years after he wrote that letter, George Dale became Mayor of Muncie. His first act was to fire all the cops. Over the weeks and months that followed, he stripped the Klan from Muncie.

George Dale lost so much in his battle against the Klan. A battle that must have felt so lonely and so difficult so often.

Remember to support Labor Actions, because this is reality for Most of US:

Screenshot of a post by @BostonJerry on OT: if you’re in the bottom half of income, there’s almost nothing left in US society for you. The expectation is to work as many hours as you can, buy the cheapest groceries, bring them home to the cheapest apartment you can find, and just sit there until you have more money somehow

That last paragraph feels particularly sinister, in November of 2024, right?

Screenshot from the attached article linked below, describing how a NY doctor in 1902 discovered that hook worms were to blame for the “Southern lethargy” that had debilitated large swaths of the population. John D. Rockefeller—the early 1900s version of a billionaire—agreed to fund this research, specifically because he “didn’t want to put money into things that would bring the American capital system into question, like income equality.” A very depressing detail.

Btw, #BloodCityRollers’ cover intentionally provides an opportunity for one of my all-time-favorite visual gags, wherein the “heel” (temporary antagonist Bella Ghostly) is pictured on the back cover, in prime real estate to be covered up by a barcode. (Like Mike Wozowski from Monsters, Inc.)

Picture of both hardcover and paperback of BLOOD CITY ROLLERS, a horror/comedy graphic novel by me (VP Anderson) illustrated by Tatiana Hill, in which a 13-year-old human ice skater is “recruited” to be the new jammer for an otherwise all-vampire roller derby team.
