I didn’t just lie to them
I lied to myself
The three little words that I say,
The three little words that are like
A thin piece of string that keep me together
The three little words that could be the end of me,
Are the three little words that I dearly hang onto.
I am fine…
No, I’m not
And I never was
I know that if I don’t open up
To someone I’m going to crumble
And break apart
All the anger, hate, and sadness would pour out
But I had to keep myself together
Not just for me but the people around me
It was just me and my web of lies…
Lying in the cold and dark silence

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.
