Under a red sun here in PDX. Will have to make do without my superpowers ‘til the fires subside.
Truly there is no greater curse than to love books and live in a small apartment.
There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

The Emotion Engine@emotion-engine.bsky.social · 5d agoIsekai as a genre is exploding in popularity because it appeals to a universal desire to get hit by a truck rather than live in the 21st century.
The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
I love how @goraina.bsky.social, @dansantat.bsky.social, and me (front and center) are like a tiny delegation of visiting Hobbits from the Kid Lit Shire at The Council of Elrond. Once I get a higher res image and more info, I'll include the full list of these Eisner winners. What a night it was!
Never saw Hadestown on Broadway, so I'm grateful for the expertly-shot original cast version in theaters. So many moving moments—and "We Raise Our Cups" just destroyed me. Ivy did versions of Persephone/Eurydice with her improv kids long, long ago; I wish like Hell she could've seen this show. 💔
At least 52 people have died in ICE custody since Trump returned to the White House. At least 23 people have been shot at by federal immigration agents. And thousands more have been caged, separated from their families, or shipped off to dangerous countries. The cruelty is endless.

The opening chapter to #Nostos #Unflattening 2 is a 22 page, 15 foot long continuous sequence that is a retelling of the Odyssey. It’s been done since 2019 and I’ve been pushing to have it released as a standalone since to no avail, & really hoping before this movie, but here we are. A sneak peek…
I want to eat the forbidden muffin.

It's not fast. It's not easy. It doesn't always work. But the rule of law—not men—is the only way out of this.
