You know that doctor chose "cardiac age of" over "heart of" so people wouldn't make "in a jar in his fridge" jokes.

We can't even call it a pyrrhic victory because for that we'd have to have fought rather than rolled over and let those losses happen.

So if Trump leaves … and Black women are still generationally behind in wealth, trans people have had their rights knocked back fifty years, and reproductive rights are permanently racialized….

Is that still a win to people

Paul Levitz is back to induct the late Peter David into the Harvey Hall of Fame. He praises Peter's wide ranging career that included working in sales & "Successfully wrote wonderful comics" included the Hulk, Aquaman, etc. "But all the time he was doing that he found time to talk to us." #nycc

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

A lot of people might be happy to have an excuse to beat up protestors, but the longer they’re doing it while occupying a city they aren’t from and aren’t welcome in, while their bills keep piling up at home?

Kathleen DAvid is up to accept the HoF award for Peter David, "Peter is now a ghost writer," she says"He meant a lot to comics in general and he was proud of what he did. He was proud of the fact that his was a voice that could shout and be heard - not always agreed with but at least heard." #nycc

You see this a lot in fundamentalist spaces: If XYZ enemy is opposed to what Im doing, then what I'm doing is right. They place themselves above culture, temporal affairs, etc while simultaneously reacting to and being influenced by them.

Anyways: That Wilson quote is really interesting and gets to my point about the victim/victor duality of Christian nationalists. Central to the Wilson/Moscow ethos is "Mans Man" patriarchy that is so defined by being the opposite of femininity that its almost downstream from it.

The folks claiming this stuff are the same ones who decided “believe women” or “Black lives matter” = calls to upend due process and the rights of white men. It’s a nesting doll of obfuscation and hysterics that allows them to be victims and thus justified to openly pursue a politics of denomination

I 100% get why Link did the mutual aid Fridays.

Like, every time someone replies by telling me the need is met is one less person struggling in the world.
