I’ve been seeing this cover over and over and I just…
In the original you’re aware of the horror of falling, but the body positions of the workers are solid on the beam. Here, most of them should be falling off, yet they don’t, because they live in an unreal, consequence-free space.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Rob Reiner was an acclaimed actor & director but he was also a vocal critic of Trump
He warned the American public that they only had a year to save their democracy
That year is almost up
Honour his legacy by fighting fascism. Fight for democracy. Fight for what’s right. Fight against tyranny.

Remember, when someone says they blame “porn” for something, what they mean by that is they blame the WOMEN doing the porn. It’s somehow women’s FAULT that men are behave badly.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.
