This Friday is FREAKY, especially with trying not to die before I become a powerful and beautiful empress! 👑 How many times will I die in Road to Empress? Idk, but you better not make it a drinking game!

Every comic cover since has been trying and failing to reach the heights glimpsed by this Carmine Infantino cover for Flash #133 in 1962. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

Flash being turned into a puppet while thinking "I've got the strangest feeling I'm being turned into a PUPPET!". FUN FACT: it is impossible to see this cover and not want to see more

Panel 1: Shen is stoically holding up a sign with his right hand that says "W O R C E S T E R" on it.

Panel 2: A man clearly from Boston, in a black Red Sox cap and Bruins jersey and holding a Market Basket bag slung over his shoulder, says "WOOSTER!" Under the cap, he has messy brown hair, and is smiling innocently.

Panel 3: Shen, still stoic, now holds up a picture of a rooster with both hands.

Panel 4: The man from Boston smile lights up, sparkles in his eyes, and says "ROOCHESTER!!!"

@ghbair.bsky.social did a great job with these boards and I am going to be stealing some of these ideas when I make mine

One of GREATHELM's selling points is the small size of the board, but Bair's here to show you your board can look much better than a piece of paper.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Our landlord knocked on our door yesterday and told us we had five days until they take us to court. We need URGENT help with getting our goal met! We’re only at 2/800 so far; every bit of support helps us get out of this situation!! #MutualAid

🚨EMERGENCY🚨 Salem and I are two days late on rent and still need about $800 to cover it and additional late fees. We don’t have any other options except to ask people to boost this post; every dollar helps two disabled trans lesbians get out of a hard situation!! #MutualAid #TransCrowdfund

The 2024 Little Richard documentary, I Am Everything, is currently streaming on C4 in the UK. Ignore the usual talking heads who appear at the start as this is excellent. Particularly good on the "queer" subculture of the American South. youtu.be/4YC8WUrWtZY?...

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.
