I’ll never understand why people make this so difficult for themselves.

If it’s giving you some life, do it. If it isn’t, step away, read a book, learn a language, walk in the woods. It’s neurotic to feel like social media is somehow dispositive for a good life.
What the fuck kind of advice is that

ICE is what "law" "enforcement" looks like when you put it in air-quotes. It's the McDonalds high school job of people with conflict issues.
NEW JERSEY — bonkers… the husband of an ICE agent uses her marked car to pretend to be Homeland Security and respond to a call HE MADE HIMSELF… with a gun and sirens and everything.

So the president designates groups of unnamed and unknown people as “terrorists”, then the Secretary of Defense decides who fits under that extremely broad definition, then the US military kills them, and that’s all we are allowed to know.

“I love you – not just your body but everything that is you. I love you deep down, past flesh, where your soul burns like a flame.”

John Ostrander wrote a transgender character in 1987. And while parts of the story are sensationalized for Grimjack’s adventure, underneath is care and understanding.

It’s very telling that Mark clearly has never brainstormed or worked a piece before. The iteration taking time is good, it’s how you avoid repetitive content, it’s how you regenerate novelty. The obvious answer/outcome can be “right” but it doesn’t mean it’s good. Strive for quality over quantity

1. This is how the story "Sanctuary" from Detective Comics #551-552 started.

Back then was INS. The kid showed his passport after this, but his brother is not in the same situation.
