*DON'T* Meet Me in Outer Space
You know that Incubus song? Yeah... just forget it.
Your voice on the line. Raised and emphatic.
Had enought tonight. Continue feeling manic.
Starve yourself of sleep
For the next few weeks.
You'll claim victory as always;
Not a bone in you that's meek.
As I push my thumb to seal our fate
(END CALL)
(END CALL)
You spew your special vitriol and hate.
(To think we once had it all.)
Haha...
But Babe I'm learning and growing.
My power starts to swell.
I brought you into my life with my own mind and glowing.
Now I'll bring BETTER in as well.

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.
