Agreed wholeheartedly. I can say my life has changed for the better since I started living it this way - I try to keep Kurt Vonnegut in mind and remember to stop and savor the good things in life. "I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I…

This makes me so sick. All these kids and their friends (and parents) went out to just have a good time at a concert, and it ends like that? The second confirmed fatality was an 8-year-old girl. Children shouldn't live in a world that makes them afraid to go to an arena and listen to someone sing for 90 minutes.

Last time I was at NYCC I wanted to go to the BPAL table but this group of college girls hogged it for so long that I gave up.

Me too. Here's where I admit that I saw the movie before I read the comic (I went to the library the next day and borrowed it) and loved the movie. I still like it. I like the comic a lot, too. But the opening scene with the historical montage is one of the best examples of backstory I've ever seen.

While a high-school student. I was a senior when we invaded Iraq for the second time, and I'm a pretty mouthy person, so.

These perfume oils by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab have been around for a good ten years or so, and they are indeed licensed. There are several Neil Gaiman lines there, and the proceeds from some go to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund per Gaiman's request. They're very high quality and last a really, really long time as…

Honestly, I'm probably on a federal watchlist based on my high-school activities alone.

The best place to smoke cigarettes was the alley behind our school with the residents who wouldn't narc on us. The other alley was full of a buncha busybodies.

I went to a Catholic high school in Baltimore that was surprisingly pretty liberal and progressive. It was mostly my classmates who disliked my writing.

I always wanted to write an editorial called "Field Day Sucks and Forcing Us to Participate Is Bullshit" but they wouldn't let me.

Senior year I wrote an editorial called "Feminism: Still a Dirty Word" and given that I went to an all-girls high school, you would not believe the dirty looks I got in the hallway for weeks later. At least my teachers liked it…

Speak for yourself. Mine used to let me write editorials about whatever I wanted as long as I stayed out of the way.

She definitely is. And I definitely am not. What a weird thing to contradict me on 4 months later.

Rocky!

She-Hulk, hopefully.

I only clicked on this article because I love Stevie Nicks and hope to be her in my next life. Harry who?

That sounds interesting - particularly the part where Batman joins the resistance, and Superman goes full-on totalitarian! Thanks for the summary. I'd love a link if you have one.

Because someone posted a bunch of fan art without crediting any of the artists - I recognized 3 of them on sight by the style of their work - and I asked the OP to provide sources/credit. A comic book writer had reblogged the post, and Wil Wheaton can't read, apparently, so he tried to come after me for "lecturing"…

No, I haven't, as I don't really play video games. What do you think of them? I'm curious now!

I'm a witch. The gods aren't infallible.
