I can only control what God has given me dominion over.

I’m going to pay as many women’s rents and mortgages as I can. I’m going to pay as many women’s tuition as I can. I’m going to give healthcare to as many women as I can.

For that person who needs to hear/read it:

You’re not being ignored.
You’re not less than.
You matter too.
We all do.

It’s just that WE’RE ALL going through it.

And we, as people, can only handle so much in our own orbits. Thats not selfish to acknowledge because that is our sad GLOBAL reality.

I wish there were a curated list of places for our elders who are decamping from compromised media and seeking alternative sources to get news.

I'm not a historian but my analysis is it's "Not good" when a government constantly commits crimes and tells the legislature, courts, and general public "What are you gonna do about it"

Ok, so the cities in Kaiju #8 would certainly not be built like that if they had had kaiju attacks for hundreds of years. Also A Condition Called Love's manga is peak. Come at me

the extent to which media elites treat liberal americans as if they do not count in the body politic is a real problem

Perry Bacon @perrybaconjr.bsky.social · 3h

I read the piece. You shouldn't. He dismisses the "No Kings" protests as liberals in blue cities. He invokes Rosa Parks, as if rural white people in the 60s loved everything that the movement then was doing. "We need a movement but not this one" is a core centrist tact these days.

can I just: when you say something like "(By the end of the exhibit), you will become fluent in manga. You will actually learn a skill. So it's like learning a language. You’re learning a visual language," can I point out Scott McCloud wrote a book on this and it wasn't about manga?

Another Ernest Chiriacka original. My two things of note on this one are those fantastic expressions, and the guts it took to just... no illustrate that foreground column in any way. It's nothing but an online. Not colored. Not anything.

Most things are hard. I am a bear.

Comic called Soft, 4 panels.
1. Dog sniffing in the rain. “Most things are hard.”
2. Bear sleeping in the rain. “All the time.”
3. See all this is in a rainy alleyway. “Everywhere.”
4. Dog napping on Bear. “It can be good to be soft. I am a bear.”

I see y'all arguing with Amanda Marcotte & let me crank up the wayback machine...she hung out with a bevy of white feminists who didn't think they were racist, they just thought BIPOC women should wait until all the other issues were solved. She's one of the reasons #solidarityisforwhitewomen exists
