If you've ever complained about the quippiness of Marvel movies, it's usually a question of bathos. Not that humor was used, not even that it was used at a tense moment, but that it was used in a way that undermines the scene itself.

Just sold my first poem in two years! The drought (98 failed submissions) is ended!
(NB: I am a snob who only submits to paying poetry markets)
Look for "God and the Aquifer" to come out soon in The Pink Hydra.

Statistically, no one gets published (or in this case, seen amongst the flood). But you can't succeed if you don't try...

The day was first celebrated in 2012, started by Katje van Loon. The date was chosen for being precisely midway between International Women's Day and International Men's Day.
