This is a whole lot of work to not go to therapy.
Passage from the article: A resident of Old Saybrook, Conn., Wellington opened TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube accounts, launched a podcast and wrote a memoir—self-published on the weekend of her daughter’s wedding—called “Doormat Mom, No More! When Good Parents Finally Say ‘Enough’ to Their Ungrateful Adult Kids.”

This is literally the meme...
Passage from the article: "But rather than beg for forgiveness and reconciliation, many deliver a defiant message: We weren’t bad parents. This is the kids’ fault. Now, my needs come first." A moment from The Simpsons when the school principal thinks "am I out of touch" but decides "no, it's the children who are wrong"

Latest Monthly Update is live -- www.patreon.com/posts/channe....

My channel started with weekly recaps of every issue of Spider-Man ever, but because of the nature of time (there are 10,000 comics with Spider-Man!) that is going to have to change.

More info in the newsletter!

A scene from Elf of lots of elves in school. Most are kid-sized, but one is a full grown adult and towers above the others.

Pictured: murderous rage
A man in a striped t-shirt is pretending to stab another guy, who is wearing a blue hoodie. The first man is supposed to have an angry look on his face, but it reads more as confusion or constipation than anger. He also isn't holding a knife and seems to just be miming the motions of stabbing.

For anyone looking for a recap of the great victories from yesterday's US election, u/thundermonkeyms on Reddit has your back (with additional from u/neko-sama)
Leaving an overview for anyone who wants to see a bunch of stuff in one place! Trump was very much on the ballots tonight, and pretty much every race I've heard of told him to go fuck himself, and by some pretty goddamn good margins too. Not all votes are in, but as of this post; -California passed Prop 50 by roughly 30%, allowing them to redistrict with the very express intent that it's for combating Trump's very public demands that Texas do the same thing to get him more seats in congress. -Colorado voted to raise taxes on people making more than $300k per year to pay for all school meals in the state, by a 15% margin. -Maine voted by 26% to protect absentee voting, and voted by roughly 24% to let the courts stop people from purchasing guns if the police and/or family/friends can show that the person is a danger to themselves or others. -New Jersey voted in a democratic governor by a 13% margin. -NYC voted Zohran Mamdani for mayor by roughly 9%, including just above 50% of the total vote (meaning the rest of the candidates could have dropped out and rallied behind Cuomo and it still wouldn't have mattered). He was polling at 2% in January, and managed to build his campaign to the point that he smacked the absolute shit out of known sex-pest and billionaire sympathizer Andrew Cuomo in the primaries. He is the first mayoral candidate since 1969 to recieve more than 1 million votes, and did it in spite of the democrats largely not supporting him (Schumer still hasn't endorsed him, and is in fact now refusing to say who he voted for. Hopefully we primary his bitch ass next year), as well as Cuomo being the establishment choice with the backing of a solid fistfull of billionaires and the endorsement of Trump, Elon, Stephen Miller, and George Santos. -Pennsylvania voted to keep all three democratic state supreme court judges that were on the ballot, and all three of them by roughly 20%. This keeps a democratic majority on their state bench. -Cincinnati reelected their mayor, who was running against JD Vance's half brother. He lost by a comedic 60%. -Virginia is the big winner tonight. 11 seats in their state house flipped blue, giving the democrats a supermajority. They flipped the Attorney General to blue by almost 7%, flipped the Lieutenant Governor blue by 11%, flipped the Governor to blue by a whopping 15% against an absolutely **vile** incumbent, and **every single district** shifted blue, some by some pretty exceptional amounts. -Also Dick Cheney died today. Somewhat niche, but Georgia also voted for 2 Democrats on the Public Power Commission. A normally fairly hidden election that had surprising turnout. https://www.fox5atlanta.com/election/georgia-public-service-commission-live-election-results I was made aware of this election by Internet sensation Hank Green: https://youtu.be/UgvE_gPi7Kc?si=xv6UIGUICXpiglS7

In case you haven't seen this before, the two character have canonically recognised this too in Spider-Man: Fever #3, after seeing Steve Ditko in a dream realm.
A page from Spider-Man: Fever #3. Spider-Man and Doctor Strange see two old men, meant to resemble Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, and then they have the following exchange: Spider-Man: "That thing you do with your fingers, when you zap the magic spells. I kinda do that too, when I spray my webbing. Strange, huh?" Doctor Strange: "Yes, it is strange."

Loving @gwillow.me and @biggleb.bsky.social's Black Cat series, especially the voice for Felicia. It reminds me of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and that from me is the highest of compliments.
Variant cover for Black Cat #3 by Dike Ruan, featuring Black Cat sitting on a pile of money. Variant cover for Black Cat #3 by Gurihiru,m featuring a very cartoony Black Cat sitting on a safe that is spilling out money, with kittens playing at her feet and an actual black cat sitting in her arms.

My favourite thing about Critical Role Cooldown thumbnails is that they're just a collage of all the pain that @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social has inflicted on his players.
Three thumbnails for Critical Role Cooldown, all of which include pictures of people looking stressed, sad, confused, or have their heads buried in their hands.

Yes, I'm counting this as an appearance of Spider-Man.
A panel from It's Jeff Halloween, where an Octopus is dressed up as a spider with a label for "Spider", and Jeff the Shark is dressed up in a little suit, with a red, web-patterned tie, and a label that says "Man". So together they are "Spider-Man".

This stat is meaningless without context.

What's the ratio of non-autistic men and non-autistic women? Is this higher, lower, or the same?

Anyone in comics have as much of a glow-up as Arthur Stacy in Amazing Spider-Man?

This is something that has really helped me.

A single video on my channel is actually 6 tasks -- gather images, thumbnail, script, record, edit, upload -- and I can commit to any of these elements depending on how much motivation I have on any given day.

I even have a sheet to keep track:
A table for videos, with tick boxes for images, thumbnail, script, record, edit and posted.

Fellow YouTubers, name the four biggest inspirations for your content.

For me: @gamemakerstoolkit.com, @owenlikescomics.bsky.social, @scottniswander.bsky.social and Alex Lennen.
The logo for Gamemakers Toolkit's YouTube channel The logo for Owen Likes Comics' YouTube channel, which is the letters O, L and C on a green background. The logo for Nerdsync's YouTube channel, which is just his face The logo for Alex Lennen's YouTube channel, which is Peter Parker from Ultimate Spider-Man, yelling at somebody off-screen

Really loved this lettering choice from @joecaramagna.bsky.social in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: TORN #1, as a way of making the lecturer seem boring, like a wall of noise.

I'm sure @badinkstudios.bsky.social would appreciate the choice too.
Two panels from Amazing Spider-Man: Torn #1, where Peter Parker is bored as a lecturer talks about science. The actual words don't matter -- it's just general science talk -- but the text is all framed to the very edges of the speech balloon, like a wall of noise.

Tried to watch the latest @shaunvids.bsky.social video about the War on Science, but what is this chess piece doing? Just spreading across squares?!

Literally unwatchable!

(Also, you really want me to believe that a skull could write this wonderful essay? It doesn't even have hands!)

Spent the afternoon making comics with my son. This is the kind of talent Marvel is letting slip through their fingers!
A crudely drawn comic called Spidey's New Shield, which sees Spider-Man finding Captain America's shield and declaring himself the amazing Shield-Man. When Cap comes looking for his shield, he instantly recognises... The Amazing Shield-Man and asks for an autograph.
