A discussion came up in on of my comic subreddits about the Marvel Pride issue coming out this month. There were a lot of good-natured jokes about Daken’s yassification on the cover and the nature of rainbow capitalism and how they pull these characters out once a year, then place them back on the shelves.… Continue reading To Support Queer Artists, You Actually Have to Know Who They Are
Media is More Fun When You Don’t Waste Time Hating It
It’s a very weird time to be a Venom fan with the current All-New Venom run. I’m genuinely enjoying it, curious to see where it goes, and think there’s some very clever use of language. Two of my favorite symbiotes, Toxin and Sleeper, got some panel time, and there’s clearly something happening there with SCAR.… Continue reading Media is More Fun When You Don’t Waste Time Hating It

High Volume Reading as a Moral Imperative
There’s this extraordinarily silly thing that happens on TikTok every year like clockwork. One batch of users talks about the one- tw0- three- hundred books they read that year. Another batch is utterly baffled at these numbers to the point of conniption. “How is it possible?” is the cry they lift to the heavens. “Don’t… Continue reading High Volume Reading as a Moral Imperative

I spent some time in a lot of new pop media forums this year. This is what I observed I have this pet peeve that shows up the most in my more text-based book forums, and science fiction book readers are the worst offenders. Someone will come into a science fiction reading forum and make… Continue reading A Year in Forums: People Don’t Know Anything About Stuff They Like
