Saw Wicked a second time. It’s been a while since I’ve been moved to see a movie a second time in theaters.

Yesterday was the 5th anniversary of Rise of the Resistance at Walt Disney World. I got to go to the opening & cover it thanks to @maxevry.bsky.social
Wanted to do more of this sort of theme park/pop culture journalism through comics but then the pandemic happened. Oh well!

![This is a 3-page comic and there is much to describe but I'll try my best. Infused in our culture is the promise of a quicker, easier way to do things. It's nice to have direct access to the things you regularly use and enjoy. [panels show microwaving water for tea, and letting a bag of prepackaged tea steep in a mug] But maybe not all processes are a burden. If you find yourself gaining speed, but losing focus, take a look at which processes give you energy. [panels show a cyclops girl drawing with the previous mug of tea- as time goes on, she appears to get more tired, and picks up the tea mug to consider it.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vr5p33abyt7a5pifjykoshuv/bafkreigd574te6szrlra6b2wpwyon4fyp44343nh72sufm57slcfrhkhvi@jpeg)
![Rush through the processes you don't like. [Panel shows cyclops girl walking past a dishwasher] Take a little longer with the ones you do. [An arrangement of 8 panels that shows the process of blending a tea by hand in a mortar and pestle and infusing in a teapot over the stove]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vr5p33abyt7a5pifjykoshuv/bafkreihzyci23w52fkge6gvg5jeigf2zdvko3a3atk2e5r7agmrsbxcq2y@jpeg)
![And in doing so, create little rituals for yourself. [Open illustration shows cyclops girl enjoying some tea in an armchair, surrounded by plants. It appears that she has recharged her energy in a small but effective way]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vr5p33abyt7a5pifjykoshuv/bafkreihweruwjhouq7kcyjfk2zj6hjxw3xv6mz4a7tfjd27kd4e2kbfjmm@jpeg)
Just saw Wicked. Went in cold, never seeing the musical, only knowing the basic story, the two big songs and…
Wow.
Also wasn’t expecting the undertones (overtones really?) of fascism. It hit right in the damn gut in this current political climate.

The (mostly) funny answer: It’s the only thing I know how to do.
The (more) serious answer: To feel human and try to come to terms with what it means to be one.

Was at a Catholic wedding today. Nice big cathedral. HUGE. First thought after walking in (once I realized my heathen skin wasn’t burning off) was “Wow, imagine how many schools they could have built and staffed instead. How many homeless folks they could have fed and housed? HMMMM.”

Sometimes I think social media was a mistake, man. We should go back to a time where if you wanted to put your dumb opinions online you had to know at least basic html to update your Angelfire or Geocities page.

One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes — so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react.
We need to pace ourselves. It's only been a week. Alert fatigue is dangerous

Okay…thinking BlueSky will be where I go when I wanna feel happy and normal (as much as you can these days).
Threads (I’m ghostcarpress over there) will be where I go when I wanna feel sad, hopeless, and need to vent about our new political hellscape.

Between Threads and Bluesky, I think this place feels better? It almost has the same feeling as Twitter circa 2012? Sucks to have to rebuild my community, but such is life.

Done with twitter and all the Nazis who took it over. So have we decided which is the new twitter? This or threads? (I’m honestly too old/tired to learn a new social media)
