@teanwitch.bsky.social Justine, it’s been a long time, but I wanted you to know I ran across one of your magic cards for sale in a shop recently and had to get it. I don’t even play Magic! But this may be the beginning of a small collection.

This Thanksgiving I learned that my mom—who has seen Wicked on Broadway at least three times—is hesitant about seeing the movie because it stars “that girl who licked the donut.” It’s been almost a decade, ma. I think you can let this one go.

Hey, She-Hulk people -- it is with great sadness that I tell you, Issue 10 is the end of our run. I have loved writing this character and working with Andrés, Dee, Joe, Jen, Nick & Kaeden. She-Hulk was on my Marvel dream list, and I feel really lucky to have taken her this far. Thanks for reading 💚

Look like it’s going to be time to retire my copy of the 16th.

New at FOREVER WARS: I read the entire South Africa genocide case against Israel. Contrary to what the US and Israeli governments have said about it, it isn’t a frivolous or malicious document. It’s a deeply serious one that the entire world has to reckon with.
South Africa's Genocide Case Against Israel Is Serious
Israel denounces it. The U.S. dismisses it. The International Court of Justice is hearing it. The rest of us can't flinch from reading it.

With reports of 48 dead after yesterday's earthquake in Japan, local authorities are too busy to worry about museums; but it's sad to hear a report verified by local and national press that the Go Nagai Musuem in Wajima, devoted to the city's most famous native #mangaka , has burned down.
Two newspapers have reported that the museum dedicated to Mazinger Z and Devilman manga creator Go Nagai has burned down after Monday's 7․6-magnitude earthquake in western Japan. Nagai himself is currently in Tokyo.
