The protestors in Nepal were flying Straw Hit Pirates flags. Fandom is a much more powerful motivator than political theory these days because we exist in a realm of politics that is essentially a form of fandom. Sorry but Marx and Lenin are dead; long live Luffy and Luthen.

Mignola’s early Marvel work was so damn good. iirc, fans would send hate letters in about it because it was the era of Liefeld and Lees, just weren’t ready for that heat. But just look at this stuff. That pinup was my first time seeing his work, that Cannonball is so rad. 2nd is just perfect

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery
my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

If you have any subscription to the Washington Post and the New York Times, just know whatever consequences come from Trump's illegal invasion is on them, and their owners. These two publications cannot be called journalism anymore.

The brute fact is that force is not on our side so leaning into declaring any restraining principle as fake and its just all what power declares is a path into even greater hell. The middle path is pointing to the legal constraints and saying why the constraints **in this specific case** are good.

I keep telling myself that how *I* feel about the state of the world at even given moment has a lot more to do with me than the world. But, good god, I wish the world would improve somewhat because I am DE-PRESSED.

I think we need to be able to balance the reactions "this is another expression of 250 years of American imperialism" and "what do you MEAN we kidnapped the president of Venezuela and renditioned him to the US and are now claiming to run the country"
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
