A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Roumania."

If you’re a comics fan, you should read Pogo and Krazy Kat
If you’re a comics artist, you should check out Captain Easy and Thimble Theatre (Popeye)
If you’re a comics writer, you should investigate Peanuts and Nancy
And also, I chose these at random. Swish em around
It always seemed unfairly OP that Amazo could copy a Green Lantern ring that doesn't even need to be recharged
They don’t think women have agency, why would they think enemies in war would?
Not being snarky. This is abuser culture with nukes. A government by insecure overcompensating violent narcissists who’ve never faced consequences.
You don’t put those DOGE boys in prison, you’ll get a whole new batch.
If the Dems win in a landslide in 2028, they ought to take advantage of the rout, put bags over the heads & cuff the hands of every present admin official, and drop them off at The Hague with a note saying "do what you will, we won't object."
It’s also the job of voters to figure out who’s best to vote for, and vote for them. It’s the job of institutions to operate responsibly and in good faith. It’s the job of anyone to not be what Trump is. It’s the job of everyone to stop Trumps when they appear. *Everybody* failed, not just the Dems.
I'm finally getting to a long threatened idea on SKTCHD, as the first volume of my pronunciation guide for creator names dropped today.
While this is especially useful for the comic podcasters/YouTubers of the world, hopefully it's helpful to comic fans of all varieties!
A two panel comic of Loki from A Bad God's Guide to Being Good. In the first panel he's looking breezy and innocent and holding up a book. He's saying, "I think it's great that children read prose novels." In the second panel, he's looking more mischievous and saying, "It's a perfectly GATEWAY to comics."
Let's kill "comics are a gateway to reading" dead please?
Dear straight men:
I know society has socialized you to (unthinkingly?) expect that, upon moving in with/marrying a woman, she'll become your Second Mom (laundry, doctors' appts, packing, planning events, etc).
May I suggest that you buck tradition & set your intention to be a grownup, instead.
In case you were wondering when's a good time to stand up for trans people, the correct answer is ALWAYS, but also how about RIGHT FUCKING NOW

Feels to me like whoever runs on "I am going to put into prison every single person currently in power in government, business, or law enforcement" has a decent chance at 500 electoral votes.
I think there is something to explore that many nations at the WBC have come showing what they love about their country (dancing, celebration, tradition) to represent the people while the American team has shown up representing and only celebrating the military

Is Doug Ford planning to axe elected public school boards in Ontario?: ricochet.media/indigenous/i...
Seems like a new boycott just dropped. Let's see who ends up being the CostCo to their Target.
You know how people say, "I hate to say 'I told you so,' but..."? Not me. I love to say "I told you so." I don't actually *do* it, because we've decided it's rude, but if it was a thing we could do, I'd derive immense satisfaction from any occasion where I was right about something ahead of time.
If any news outlets are covering this and want to talk to a trans Genomics PhD who specialized in human genetics and the evolution of sex, please reach out to me
This is complete nonsense scientifically. It's fascist eugenics, not biology
Setting a horrifying precedent for genocide
“You’re expendable but trans people are not” is exactly the energy we need in the face of the elite assault on our trans comrades and loved ones
1. Her breath, soft, upon my neck when I just break the surface of the duvet like a diver breathing deep of light and air, bringing me back to where I found her yesterday crossing the threshold of my door, warm and quick and finally next to me; she sleeps yet, and will yet far longer, condemned
Jesus didn’t have indoor plumbing either but that doesn’t mean I’m going to start shitting in the woods
This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative.
1. The Legion of Super-Heroes
2. Baseball
3. Ice cream
The whole point of defending the right for uncomfortable, or even reprehensible fiction to have the right to exist isnt that its all cool and nothing is ever wrong with it
Its that government/corpo organizations will NEVER look at things with the """nuance""" you think is so self evident
His name is Paul Sankey? That’s a bizarre coincidence! Paul Sankey is also the name of the villain of the novel *The Buck Passes Flynn*, in which Sankey is a rogue Federal Reserve… analyst?… who tries to destroy the U.S. dollar by flooding the world with U.S. currency. I am amazed.
That's *nice*.
you can discuss plenty of topics surrounding a trans person, such as their favorite films or whether gold or silver jewelry looks best on them. what you can't "discuss" is whether they deserve rights
Look no further than the fucking concentration camps on American soil in the 21st century.
They torture people daily, & rape & murder them, in these facilities.
And we are expected to act as though it isn’t happening.
You bring it up, you’re the problem. Seen their tired-ass Nazi playbook forever
I’ve watched this unfold in slow motion since I was a kid in the ‘90s. Nazi grifters preyed on my family. They failed to turn me into a Nazi.
But I’ve seen them openly want this for decades. These guys didn’t just show up - they’ve been waiting for their “moment.” They believe it’s now.
In more than half of US states, Republican and Democratic lawmakers have introduced legislation that would boost adoption of small plug-in solar panels that sit on apartment balconies and plug directly into household outlets. Canary Media buff.ly/5B79fOA #ShareGoodNewsToo
