84 Lumber is owned by a Trump supporter and their message (according to them) was to echo Trump’s statement that there “should be a big, beautiful door in the wall so people can come in legally.” You sure their values line up with yours, given who they voted into office?

FYI, it’s actually based on The Coldest City, the first GN in the series. The Coldest Winter is the second book, but a prequel. I made the same mistake multiple times. http://antonyjohnston.com/work/coldestcity/

“Legal” doesn’t make it not terrorism and murder. We should stop drawing a line between “state sanctioned” massacres and Pulse or Sandy Hook (which are state sanctioned by dint of having a Congress in the NRA’s pocket).

It particularly hurts LGBTQ LATIN@ people. Erasing the fact that the majority of the victims at Pulse were not just queer but also POC is part of the problem!

Why? Why not call the state murderers? Why is it so sacrosanct to speak about state-sanctioned mass killings of POC as if they’re NOT horrific murders? It’s terrorism, it’s murder, and we should call it what it is.

By the way “we” includes me. I don’t know why everyone assumes that I’m NOT queer.

It’s not removing anything from this event to call it the largest single-shooter massacre, or the largest massacre in modern US history (which is what some outlets are using instead of “biggest ever”). It’s providing a historical context of violence and oppression that Pulse is the most recent expression of. They’re…

The difference between “best movie ever” and “worst mass shooting in history” is the impact that those statements have. One is marketing and pop culture hyperbole, one is journalists trying to convey information to the public. If every new tragedy is the worst tragedy in history, we’re allowed to believe it will never…

What you’re suggesting is that the naming/recognition of the events as unique in a way detracts from others like it or in the same vein and that is just NOT true.

I in no way want to detract from the absolute horror of this event...but it is not the biggest mass shooting in US history. It’s not. Saying it is erases events like Wounded Knee and countless other examples of (almost exclusively) POC being massacred, usually with the tacit permission if not active participation of…

But...winter.

Can’t. Tell. If. Serious.

I wonder if/how something similar could be instituted at places like Miami University that profited off of exploitative relationships with Native tribes? They’ve been doing a lot of research about the contracts and treaties the tribe signed, shouldn’t be that difficult to calculate and create an endowment.

I wrote editorial pieces for a little site called Gawker Media for free. I didn’t think of it that way at first, I was just putting stuff on sub-blogs that occasionally would get mainpaged. But after a while I realized I was using that experience to hone some languishing skills and learn the difference between writing…

Two years ago, I wouldn’t have said anything. But the second a comic book character gets a television show, no one should be confused by their identity.

Hate to be that girl but one of Kourtney’s kids is the Flash...a DC superhero.

Most women want to be taken care of. That’s because that is the best move they can make.

I was kinda hoping some pretty girl in a dapper suit would come sweep Lottie off her feet at the end...but we can only ask so much of Disney at one time.

Yup, you’re right!
