If you’re wondering why I haven’t been around much, surprise! | live in South Minneapolis where things have been pretty bad. BUT my South Minneapolis friends and neighbors have been wonderful. I love my neighborhood and my city. We keep us safe.
For Minnesota residents, Defend612 has some great resources in the links.
ALSO if you’re a cartoonist or a comics person, I invite you to journal your experience of how ICE has impacted your life with your own four-panel comics! I’d love to connect with you.
fun fact one of the world champions in pepper-eating contests is a trans woman and she actually faced significant backlash because people somehow thought she had a biological advantage. to eating spicy pepper
update bc i went back and checked: her name is brianna “the chilli queen” skinner and she set a record in 2017 by slamming back 23 carolina reapers consecutively. she only stopped when told to by the referees, and the next year she stepped down out of boredom. queen
Here’s a picture of her, by the way
And her super supportive wife
The championship, it should be noted, is unisex. Apparently being a trans woman gives you an innate biological advantage over both cis men and cis women.
The innate biological advantage of being cool as fuck
in the whole greenland conversation i feel like there’s not nearly enough acknowledgement of the fact that greenland is already suffering under imperial rule. seeing wayyyyy too much tacit validation of denmark’s possession of greenland on socials today. look into reproductive abuse against greenland inuit women by the danish state. US acquisition of greenland would be bad but the status quo is not good. this is not a matter of sovereignty, i only wish it were a matter of sovereignty, it’s just a bunch of imperial powers playing RISK with indigenous people’s lives again
no because i actually do think it’s kind of sweet that for the you’ve got me seeing through different eyes bit jonathan bailey was like ok let’s give fiyero blue eyes and then the scarecrow has his natural brown eyes. like it’s the kind of cute detail that shows there was a lot of passion behind this. but in-universe, there’s not really a clear reason for elphaba to give fiyerocrow brown eyes specifically. if anything, green would make more sense since it’s the color consistently associated with elphaba. but there is another character who has brown eyes, and they also added a line where elphaba tells said character “look at me not through your eyes through theirs,” implying that brown eyes are the eyes that see her as beautiful and unlimited and those are the eyes that love her. so it just makes it seem like she wanted her bf to have glinda’s eyes
I find it so strange that people think things can’t/won’t happen because they’re illegal. I have never lived in a world where legality made a lot of difference to whether or not something happened.
tragic when a thing gets hate for being ‘woke trash’ and you look into it and its not even that woke. like cmon man i was promised monacle popping gay commie propaganda. this is just a video game with a woman in it.
