Dear God, oh please, can you let us be free?
From worries and fears, that plague humanity
Let us bask in the warmth of love's sweet ecstasy
And let our hearts be filled with joy and glee
Can you let us be happy, with no more strife?
With every breath, a sense of life
Let us live each day, with a heart full of cheer
And let our souls be lifted, without a fear
Can you let us be happy, and let our dreams come true?
Let us chase our passions, and make them anew
Let us be the best, that we can be, for you
And let our love and kindness, forever shine through
Can you let us be happy, and let our hearts be light?
Let us dance in the rain, and sing in the night
Let us be the change, that we wish to see
And let our love and happiness, set humanity free

2023 The Year of Women and Fridging
2023 was an incredible year for women in film. Between Beyonce and Taylor’s concert movies, Barbie and 1 single woman getting nominated for best director at the Oscars there was a lot to celebrate. But just like with anything the universe seeks balance and in 2023 we nerds also experienced something on page and screen that we should have evolved out of decades ago. In the year of Barbie we had not 1, but 2 incidents of fridging in the comic book universe. Both came from Marvel and both are inexcusable. I would love to celebrate how far representation in this field has come, really I would. But I can not do that if we are still making the same mistakes. I am not going to celebrate that there is now less sexual assault in comics. I am not going to celebrate that fridging is less common. I am not going to celebrate that women are infantilized less often in comics. I will not celebrate less. Not in 2024 when every grown person on the planet should know better. I will not be celebrating less. I will celebrate when women are ALWAYS treated like human beings, fictional or not.
