Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

Gentle reminder that in the late '50s, the U.S. government did not censor comics. Comics companies censored themselves.

Not sure why that crossed my mind today but there it is...

Sometimes I feel like a ghost, unable to make meaningful changes to my life, while not being believed when I tell people how much I try.

Four-page comic.

Page 1
Top section: Narration text says, “Every day I wake up convinced I’ll finally do the thing I’ve been wanting to do for so long, but I’ve gotten so tired of waking up every day knowing that nothing has changed.”

Panels show lists of undone tasks:
- Narration: “Another day and I still haven’t cleaned the table so I can cook, still haven’t filled out important forms, haven’t thrown out the spoiled food I put next to the fridge a week ago, still haven’t unpacked the luggage from 9 months ago, and I lost a letter and am too ashamed to ask for a copy.”

Final narration on this page: “I do the wrong tasks, don’t finish, or get paralyzed before being able to start anything.”

Page 2
Panels contrast misconceptions with reality.
Narration: “When I can’t do something, it’s not: ‘It’s not fun so I won’t bother.’ Or ‘I don’t wanna do it.’”

Next panels show dread. Narration: “It’s more like I feel dread and my body yells back at me: ‘You won’t feel rewarded for this, so you’re wasting survival resources and energy.’ ‘DON’T DO IT.’”

Further narration: “I can’t even explain why I don’t do things, so people don’t believe me. I’ve started isolating because gathering my courage to ask for help and being shamed hurts so much.”

Closing narration on this page: “It feels like I’m a ghost, unable to make meaningful changes to my life. An existence unseen and unheard, having to hide so as not to trouble others.”

Page 3
Narration continues: “All I can do is watch as my life falls apart in slow-motion, as people watch and ask themselves ‘why doesn’t she just do something?’”

Further narration: “Every day I would fight myself to great exhaustion without any result to show for it. So after a while, I gave up fighting.
Not because I had a negative mindset, but as a result of my experiences.”

Someone scolds: “No one is coming to save you, stop being so self-defeating!”

Shift in tone: Narration asks, “Do you know what saved my life?”
A supportive voice replies: “I believe you. I will help you.”

Page 4
Narration: “It’s not that no one has helped me before, but no one believed how much help I needed.”

Someone else says dismissively: “I’m sure you can do it!”

Narration continues: “And it’s not that I can’t do anything – I can do many things that others can’t. It’s just that where my mother needs help using the PC, I need help organizing my day.”

Further narration: “People aren’t made to survive alone – without any help.”

Closing text: “I am still my own person. I have my own morals, agency, hopes and dreams. And if I have a robust scaffolding to work on, I can not only live, but thrive.”

A woman asks "do you think I'm pretty?" Another woman says "I think you're beautiful." The first woman crosses her arms and refuses the compliment says "you're just hugboxing me." The other woman says "I have been your wife for three years." The first woman asks "why?" The second woman says "I think you're beautiful." The first says "you're just hugboxing me." The second says "I have been your wife for three years."

I don't think its an exaggeration to say that, because of how much cars have destroyed the communal spaces of public transit and walkable third locations, that inside of a car on an American road is the loneliest place on earth

The AbominaSean @sean8urson.bsky.social · Jul 28

Like think about how nearly a century of car culture has forcibly isolated people from each other

Our inclination to be kind to the people we share a land with is so fucking deteriorated because we’re not sharing travel means and only see each other as obstacles or traffic or shit

The AbominaSean @sean8urson.bsky.social · Jul 27

It’s insane how much of American loneliness and toxic individualism is manufactured by capitalism finding and exploiting the monetizable avenues of them
