It's your birthday, Duane.
Duane Kearns Puryear, holding his panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt. It reads, in block letters: "My name is Duane Kearns Puryear. I was born on December 20, 1964. I was diagnosed with AIDS on September 7, 1987 at 4:45 PM. I was 22 old. Sometimes, it makes me very sad. I made this panel myself. If you are reading it, I am dead..." There are several great resources to learn about Duane, his advocacy, his family, his panel, and the politics of memory and re-creation, especially this one by The Dallas Way: http://www.thedallasway.org/stories/written/2021/9/19/duane-puryears-and-the-quilt-panel Duane Puryear died in 1991.

it is 'funny' that the question of 'why does everybody feel different about the economy than the way these graphs should indicate' never seems to account for 'a pandemic exposing thousands of people to our ramshackle and hyper expensive healthcare system AND killing many partners, roommates, etc'

Biggest technological revolution in our lifetime and it's not AI:

Science has named the seemingly unstoppable growth of renewable energy worldwide as the 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.

Learn more about this year's #BOTY and other big advances in science: https://scim.ag/493Tpgx
Qianjiadong Reservoir in southern Hunan, China, produces a double harvest: solar energy and yellow carp. The solar farm produces up to 80 megawatts of power while the fish forage beneath the panels. With a massive scale-up of solar and wind at home and cheap exports of the technology, China is driving a worldwide surge of renewable energy—Science’s 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.

im thinking about the parental estrangement forums and shit and it feels like such a natural thing to come from a culture that doesn't see children as full human beings with agency, to extend the status of problem child past the age of majority and allow publishing and media to be complicit in abuse

Every year for Hanukkah I like to share panels from this special holiday comic I edited when I was on staff at Marvel. There remains a dearth of specifically Hanukkah stories in comics and this one only ever appeared in print once.

Every year I am proud to share and celebrate the light of Hanukkah:
Comic panel from MARVEL COMICS DIGITAL HOLIDAY SPECIAL: ROCK OF AGES! by Stan Lee and Nick Dragotta featuring The Thing, Mister Fantastic, and the Invisible Woman of the Fantastic Four surrounded by holiday gifts; a menorah is on the fireplace: "We wanted to write a 'Happy Holiday' message on your gift cards, but--" "We're not sure how to spell your holiday!" Comic panel from MARVEL COMICS DIGITAL HOLIDAY SPECIAL: ROCK OF AGES! with Sue and Reed Richards, and the Human Torch, Johnny Storm, discussing the spelling of Hanukkah: "I said it’s H-A-N-U-K-A-H!" "I figured it was C-H-A-N-U-K-A-H!" "And I thought it has two 'K's!" Panel from MARVEL COMICS DIGITAL HOLIDAY SPECIAL: ROCK OF AGES! featuring The Thing, Ben Grimm: "Hey, no big deal! Each of you is right! We spell it all those ways!"
