You can call me Dan. I'm a queer nerd who loves videogames, comics, literature and fantasy. My three big loves are: DC, LOTR and Dishonored. Cass and Damian are my precious and I'm a big Selina Kyle and Clark Kent fan. They/she 25yo
i learned about Tim Wong who successfully and singlehandedly repopulated the rare California Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly in San Francisco. In the past few years, he’s cultivated more than 200 pipevine plants (their only food source) and gives thousands of caterpillars to his local Botanical Garden (x)
I am going issue by issue through Wonder Woman (1987—) and drawing my favourite outfits on a very vague daily schedule.
Back to the clay from whence you came. Issue 19 and we've met Circe. I'm very much enjoying it. My experiments with rendering her skin as clay-like are finally paying off. (She doesn't actually turn back to clay in this issue but it is a very near miss).
You know I'm generally against Shiva being solely tied to Cass, but like...
Their rivalry is genuinely so fucking fun to read, man. 😭
Like it isn't even a rivalry where the two hate one another, it's genuinely just a "I'm better than you" rivalry and that's so refreshing compared to other comic rivalries.
That being said I'm an advocate for more Shiva stories outside of Cass, but like I don't mind them butting heads every once in a while, it's just really fun stuff.

Dozens of Google employees began occupying company offices in New York City and Sunnyvale, California, on Tuesday in protest of the company’s $1.2 billion contract providing cloud computing services to the Israeli government.
The sit-in, organized by the activist group No Tech for Apartheid, is happening at Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian’s office in Sunnyvale and the 10th floor commons of Google’s New York office. The sit-in will be accompanied by outdoor protests at Google offices in New York, Sunnyvale, San Francisco, and Seattle beginning at 2 pm ET and 11 am PT.
Tuesday’s actions mark an escalation in a series of recent protests organized by tech workers who oppose their employer’s relationship with the Israeli government, especially in light of Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza.
Just over a dozen people gathered outside Google’s offices in New York and Sunnyvale on Tuesday. Among those in New York was Google cloud software engineer Eddie Hatfield, who was fired days after disrupting Google Israel’s managing director at March’s Mind The Tech, a company-sponsored conference focused on the Israeli tech industry, in early March. Several hours into the sit-ins on Tuesday, Google security began to accuse the workers of “trespassing” and disrupting work, prompting several people to leave while others vowed to remain until they were forced out.
The 2021 contract, known as Project Nimbus, involves Google and Amazon jointly providing cloud computing infrastructure and services across branches of the Israeli government. Last week, Time reported that Google’s work on Project Nimbus involves providing direct services to the Israel Defense Forces. No Tech for Apartheid is a coalition of tech workers and organizers with MPower Change and Jewish Voice for Peace, which are respectively Muslim- and Jewish-led peace-focused activist organizations. The coalition came together shortly after Project Nimbus was signed and its details became public in 2021.
