In the USA, we don’t have reliable, systematic COVID data gathering grounded in regularly accessible public testing and actual contact tracing. We also have the sadly predictable and all-too-common phenomenon of people being out in public without masks and disrespectfully ignoring social distancing procedures. Given…

This reminds me of an important, offhanded conversation I had with a professor, a Panther in his younger days. He taught me so much in just one 10-week class, but the casual conversations were often laced with golden nuggets of wisdom. He taught me to capitalize Black when referring to the people in a similar way to…

If the argument is that they should stop wasting talent and resources trying to crack this franchise that hasn’t “hit” yet to instead redirect those towards new stories or franchises they haven’t tried yet, then I’m with that. But if the concern is that they should just give up because, “No one can do it,” then that’s…

Yes. I’ll take any of these, please.

That opening number 100% captured the will-they-won’t-they-or-are-they-siblings dynamic perfectly.

Wait? Did it ever stop?

Between the doctor / scientist studying The Child in “The Mandalorian” and the many cast members at Batuu, I think glasses are a thing in the SW universe. Boo.

So excited to cement Leia as a Jedi, or at least Jedi in training, which in the aftermath of Order 66 doesn’t mean a whole lot given the incomplete or unofficial nature of the Jedi schooling of Kanan, Luke, Ezra, Ahsoka, Caz, and Rey. At the end of the day, I think the canon narrative so far has showed the legitimacy,…

Wrong franchise...way too much (some) logic being applied. And I say that with love, because as much as I can see how SW is silly and nonsensical, I also love and embrace the fantasy of it all.

Sadly, the artwork doesn’t show up on my iPad...just on the laptop.

I’m in that minority* too.

Mid-morph that kid becomes Adam Driver. TRIPLE CHANGER!!! Neat.

Oh, and just a note: Rowling is not a TERF. She is transphobic, absolutely, but she ain’t radical. Quite the opposite. Her feminism is bourgeois and dated. We really need better words to distinguish between the two main branch of transphobic feminism.

Witches who celebrate Christian holidays was a big clue too.

My instinct was triggered in her work by how much she invested in the gee-whiz straight white Potter family dynamics, the lack of deep representation of oppressed peoples in the series, and frakking witches who celebrate Christian holidays.

At some point, yeah, you just have to accept that shitty people can make great works, but there’s also a lot of non-shitty people who also make great works, and they’re so much more fun to enjoy since part of you isn’t hating yourself for spending money on it, and the old books will always be there!

Sweet. Please buy mine. 2 longboxes and 3 shorts... Continuous runs of X-books from 1983-1995, and some other odds and ends...AWESOME odds and ends, that is. Happy to sell em to you and / or any other super fans.
