we'll drown
what's the use of racing up to the surface?
we'll drown, anyway
too late to hinder disarray
we'll seek a photograph in gray
as we picture the earth on its way to decay
we'll drown, anyway
our senses have gone astray
it was your idea in the first place,
and there's a fine line between determined and insane
minds were empty, we failed to chase the prompts of the lane
home was a heartbeat away
we'll drown, anyway
what's the use of racing up to the surface
there's no time to think about
bringing your favorite suitcase
we'll do anything offhanded
unless you want to wretchedly visualize
our last breath paralyzed

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.
