See the thing that most people don’t understand, is that we go through similar hardships, big or small.
What one knows, another person may not know.
Closing yourself and your own experiences from others does not do you justice. It does not do anyone justice.
For the things you don’t know, you can educate yourself.
It’s never too late to understand.
There is the internet, libraries, there are people around you who can teach you what you don’t understand.
And although we may seem pretty different, we all want the same thing:
To live the life that we want.
Live the life that gives you more meaning than all the words of your favorite song.
Do not undervalue others.
Do not underestimate others.
Respect others.
Success does not discriminate.
Understanding and communication is key.
I can’t wait to see what you’ll be.

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.
