sometimes i like to look out of the window
when i have no sight
my glasses on the sill
nothing is clear
lights blur and pulse
circles of colour
it is quiet
a world not fully made
like i’ve followed the mice through the door
an unfinished reality
i stare at the city beneath me
and at nothing at all
cars now little moving blobs
traffic lights frozen green
twinkling in the distance
blurred train filled with yellow light
snaking up lazily at quarter past three
there could be anything else on the tracks
and i wouldn’t know at all
aren’t things much simpler?
when the eyes only recognise
faded glows

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.
