i have purchased a 12 year old android tablet for reading comics/manga. Does anyone have tips and tricks for setting it up for this purpose (i have never used an android in my life)

when the cultural capital of interwar Austria among new york transgenders explodes in late 2026 into early 2027 let it be known who bought stock early. You're gonna see bitches reading otto bauer on the M train mark my words

what comics /arcs would you all recommend from dc, image, and marvel from the last 20ish years. The only stuff I've really read outside of "graphic novels" is Brian k Vaughan and some 70s-90s X men. I would like some help from homosexuals

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...

stick a pin in this metaphor

…because these covers are a microcosm of the entire conflict; Walden's book is mostly built on writing and other objects left by Sylvia Drake, Charity Bryant, and others. Her work includes many elements from these records that Cleves does not refer to in her book, and many of her interpretations of those records are different from Cleves's interpretations, often intentionally so. In addition to her historical basis, Walden's book includes fictional dialogue and story elements that are original to her work, some of which are inspired by Walden's own life.

i am working on a very, very long blog post that could really have fit into a skeet: When someone posts that "this website/journal article/etc proves my dramatic claim!!!" and then does not link to the website, journal article, etc, it is because it does not in fact prove their dramatic claim.
