"the saviors have become settlers; the iconography of protecting the innocent is rewritten as the pioneer guarding his stake... as comics attempt to set batman in the same world as his readers, the role of violence to perpetuate the state demands to be addressed"

The meme of "my body is a machine that turns 'the passage of time' into 'not writing'." This is a joke about writing and how so much of writing is not writing— or at least, that's what I tell myself when I am avoiding writing, which is a big part of my actual job. I mean writing, not *not* writing. Bosses: do not look at this, especially if you are expecting something from me soon. Obviously, everything is going great. I am not procrastinating by making this meme. I am not deliberately wasting time in every possible way I can think of after already having made breakfast int he most laborious way possible, catching up on email and slack messages, engaging in some discord discourse, and checking every social media feed I have the misfortune to remain entangled with, and I fully intend on starting to write for real the moment I hit the button to send this tweet. Yes, I still call them tweets. It's an act of resistance at this point, calling them tweets. I remember there was some discussion of what to call them, and I have to say I did laugh about "skeets," since the act is comparable in some ways: it feels good in the moment, but results in something useless and gross just moments later... is this too much to get into here? I don't know if the wrongheadedly censorious people who run this platform even check descriptive alt text, come to think of it. Anyway, I should get back to writing, for real, which I will do now. That reminds me, did you catch the discourse the other day about dialogue choices in games? I don't have much to say, really, other than that creative works can be literally whatever you want them to be, so arguing about them isn't as productive as simply making the work you want to see in the world (and which I'll get back to doing in just a moment). If you want to see my approach to dialogue choices, why not play my visual novel, Eliza? If you've made it this far and haven't yet, I suggest you check it out. Okay, back to writing for real now. Definitely.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Today marks six years since my friend Tom Spurgeon passed. Remembering his joyous love of comics today, his even fiercer love for the people he surrounded himself with, and wishing we had more time.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Fun story about this cover:

The face is actually a clay sculpture of the protagonist. Which I photographed and edited digitally. Super fun process.

The "clearwater" and "aaron losty" are a tracing of the Irish street sign font on tracing paper.
