Andor: "Ever Been to Gorman?", "I Have Friends Everywhere", "What A Festive Evening" Ghorman is not some backwater like Mina Rau or Ferrix. It’s wealthy, influential, and has name recognition amongst the elites of the Galaxy. It’s a bright star between the Galactic Core and the Outer ...

It’s 3 BBY.

Things are heating up on Ghorman, Mon Mothma is trying to enact change within the system, and Saw Gerrera gets into the metaphor business.

That’s right, it’s time for another edition of the Andor series over at my newsletter!

An 18th century funerary ticket, festooned with cartoon skeletons and little banners that read 'Momento Mori' and 'Remember to Die'; with the text: "YOU are desired to Accompany the Corps of Mrs. DOROTHY WOOD, late Wife of THOMAS WOOD, Gentleman, from his Dwelling House in LITTLETON in the County of MIDDLESEX to the Parish Church there, on FRIDAY the 17th Day of NOVEMBER, 1704 at Three of the Clock in the Afternoon precisely, and bring this Ticket with you.'

Also I cannot emphasize enough how silly the cartoon skeletons look.

Also I cannot emphasize enough how silly the cartoon skeletons look.

so in the 17/18th century, our good friends the Puritans decided that sermons and eulogies and hymns were all too papist for a good honest funeral; so if you wanted to impress upon others your family wealth with lavish mourning rites, it required more creative thinking.

Like these funeral tickets.

A random thought about the Scrubs reboot (which I am enjoying): Like the Frasier reboot, I would have loved a version where J.D., Turk, and Elliot really WERE the Cox and Kelso to a new generation of p.o.v. youngsters. I get why this will never happen, but I'd love to see it anyway.

Israel has just issued a demand that all of Beirut’s southern suburbs, an area roughly the size of central Berlin or lower Manhattan, run for their lives. Tens of thousands are forced to flee- again. Real fears that they will level much of southern Beirut- an area where more than 500,000 live.

The Babylon 5 plague episode ("Confessions and Lamentations", season 2 episode 18) is just laser targeted about the reaction to COVID despite having been written and produced in 1995.

With Dallas early vote now in, Crockett's path to victory looks gone. She needed 80%+ of the vote there to make up for Talarico running up margins in Austin, San Antonio, and the rural + western counties. Only got 60%.

once again I reiterate that I have never found a more effective barometer for "is this space safe for my fat cis body" than "show me your specific policies for creating a safe space for trans bodies"

it has a 100% success rate everywhere from doctors to waxing to clothing-optional soaking pools

okay I don't want to overhype this thing but I think I might be writing the scariest novel that somehow uses the word 'comptroller'

Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller.

First panel, Nancy talking to a logger sawing a tree and pointing to a carved piece of trunk.

Nancy: Can I have that piece? My boy friend carved it.
Logger: Sure.

Second panel, Nancy is watching the log burn in the fire place.
Nancy: I'm mad at him.

Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote:

"The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same."

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

Andor: "One Year Later", "Sagrona Teema", "Harvest" Very few people who stand up against tyranny do it from the word go. We can’t all be Saw Gerrera. For the rest of us, it takes a moment where we can’t avoid looking directly at what is happening. Wher...

Over at my newsletter, we’ve reached season two of Andor.

Read it. Or don’t.

idk shit sucks right now

Time to Fight: H.R. 7661 Call To Action

Art matters. And what do we do with things that matter? We protect them.

Here is information about H.R. 7661, a US book banning bill that explicitly targets books about trans people, and what you can do right now to help stop it.
