platforming palestinian joy is just as important as sharing the suffering they're enduring during this genocide. despite continued displacement and bombardment, you cannot steal their joy and spirit. happy birthday to this sweet baby 🖤🇵🇸 may they grow up to see a free palestine

Got my first ask from Justin Martin, decided to give it its own dedicated post! In which I pick at The Amazing Spider-Man's inherent structural issues in the context of the 2024 direct market's expectations.

Hey folks, I've gotten a couple messages recently that reminded me I should probably be more public on here about it: for a buck a month on Patreon, you can DM me questions on there like the old days, and I'll answer them on my newsletter! I figure this'd weed out some of the more aggressive messages I got at the tail end of that 'era', and I know there are some folks who'd like the chance to lob a few my way.

ugh there's a huge wave of scammers pretending to be gazans today

someone who doesn’t follow me came directly to my inbox to ask me to donate/share their gofundme to leave gaza, and like—i always assume this sort of inbox message to people who have popular posts/perceived high follower counts are scams. it’s despicable that people are capitalizing off of this.

if you’re not sure if something is a scam, donate to world central kitchen instead.

I was one of the 'this seems REALLY complicated compared to other things people are asking for I can immediately put money towards' people, but after seeing it emphasized so frequently how important this is I did it and it actually is like a 4-5 minute process you'll be handheld though.

I know you have all probably seen the esims for gaza posts circulating. Some of you have probably looked at them and thought maybe you should help out, but have weighed up the daunting process of signing up for something you're unfamiliar with vs. the gut-wrenching scale of the things people are going through on the ground right now, and you've put it off or questioned whether it will make enough of a difference vs. some other future kind of activism you could put that $6+ towards. I'm not calling you out or scolding you, it is natural to feel conflicted and ambivalent about the multiple calls for aid that you are seeing on social media.

but consider this: what would you do if you suddenly had to leave your home? how would you cope? how would you begin to plan where to go next, or figure out what to do to take care of yourself? most likely you would reach reflexively for your phone.

telecoms access is not a petty luxury in 2024. a loaded esim means the ability to call family members and find out where they are and whether they're safe, and whether they need anything you can provide for them. it means access to maps and regular updates on the situation unfolding around you. it means you can look up whether it's safe to drink rain water, or how to tie a type of knot you've never had to think about before, or how to treat an injury without medical supplies. it means the ability to tell people outside the situation what you are seeing, what you are feeling, what you are thinking. it is an absolutely crucial resource. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.

many many people have observed that internet access is changing the way the world understands genocide. internet access is life or death, and it is shaping modern history in front of you. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.

please, please visit gazaesims.com and spend 5 minutes and $6 to change the way this plays out for everyone.

Hmm...they are both those things...

Where should David Mann start with the EU material given his main exposure to it is The Book of the War?

Either 1, 2, or 4 Timewyrms, depending on how granular/cruel you are.

Asking in good faith, as someone who believes he should be as well, but isn't very smart at arguing with people: What is the argument for having Superman enter public domain? Please, don't give me a joke answer and try to be as encompassing as you're willing to be. I am truly asking in good faith and since everyone has made up their mind about it, it's hard to find a good discussion. And please don't say I should already know, I'm dumb, have no one else to talk about it, just tell me. Thank you.

Corporations should not own ideas for all eternity (be they the ones developed ethically or ones like Superman that were stolen from vulnerable artists). It's really that simple. Going more in-depth on the subject matter would require a lot more work on my end that shouldn't be done for free.

was talking to my gf about my fear of dying young for being trans and my mom putting my deadname on my gravestone, and she said "i hope that never happens, but if it does, i will carve your name into your grave myself if i have to." and i think theres something extremely raw about that sentiment and trans community in general. you can kill only our bodies, but you cant kill transsexuality

Whowatch meets the limit of the series as it stands in the penultimate entry, as @deathchrist2000 and I discuss real dickheads, peak Who, and (This Is How You Lose) the Time War.
