Viva physical media!

As I slowly rebuild a physical movie library (because fuck streaming companies), the first thing I made sure to beef up was my Ghibli collection.

Now, no matter what shit happens at HBO, these are mine.

As a parent who has to deal with kids getting up that early...

I agree with you. 100%.

My most unhinged literary opinion is that literature is actually easier to read when it's hinged, the pages held together via some sort of binding process.

This series was so much better than it should have been. The first collection was stupid cheap, so I picked it up and got sucked in. Superheroes killing each other shouldn't be that good.

You know what? Dumb and fun is a Star Trek episode genre that I still love.

It was good for me when I was 6. Was I supposed to mature past that?

Every church potluck growing up we had these. And I was forced to take one.

Titus is a sentient program. The power goes out? He is sleeping with no choice!

Dree freaks out. She's in an air-tight pod. Without power, she dies quick.

Urey? He's really depressed. What're you supposed to do without power? Unlike his friends, he's not in danger, though!

I. Hate. How applying for disability is a full-time job. To be able to prove you're disabled, you basically have to be abled.

Avoid screaming into the void, though, as it likes stealing the best ideas.

I'm wide. I price everything the same (barring sales). However, I do all physical through Ingram, and upload digital at each place individually.

I love it when my characters take on a life of their own.

I also like making them cry.

Karim Wafa-Al Hussaini @karimwafa.bsky.social · 14h

I've got the first four collections, through the Black Book, I believe, and just kinda fell off. Now I'm gonna have to go reread them!
