My intent is not to fix you, for you are not broken. The love flowing from me is simply a
reflection of all that you are. There is no comfort outside of yourself; deep within is
where your truth lies. You are love. You are joy. You are health. You are strength. You
are life. You are free. Forgive yourself and the ones who tell you otherwise. They, too,
are drifters in pursuit of their light. You’ve got to reconnect with your heart. The world
needs more souls that shine with authenticity, reminding us how to float back home.

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.
