Our eyes met from across the crowded bar
He made his way over to me through scores of people with such confidence and assurance
The look on his face informed me that he was a man on a mission
A mission of love or lust I was quite sure until he took my hand in his
Immediately my body began to pulsate, yearning for more of his touch
His fingers intertwined with mine
It was that moment I realized I was smitten
I never thought that I believed in love at first sight
But the sound of his voice echoed in my head
Everything around me seemed to dissipate except for him
I found myself biding my time until his lips were on mine
Without hesitation I leaned in and was completely swept off my feet
I felt as if the entire world had stopped and I was in my own utopia
As he drew me in closer I knew that I had finally found my Mr. Right

Dreams Come True
I arrived at the airport at half past ten. My flight wasn’t until four but there’s just something about people watching in an airport that really gives me inspiration for my writing. My gate wasn’t crowded so I took a seat next to this sweet looking old lady. She seemed oddly familiar to me. I shrugged it off and I put my headphones on and began listening to my favorite criminal justice podcast.

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.
