For some reason the article isn’t linking normally but this is amazing! I do not like that the author does not mention Hirschfeld being Jewish early enough in the article, but it’s awesome this has been restored!
Victor Crowley’s Hatchet Halloween Tales III will be released on October 27 via American Mythology. The 32-page one-shot comic book features three more stories set in the Hatchet universe during Halloween.
The stories are written by James Kuhoric, S.A. Check, and Alexander Banchitta and illustrated by Puis Calzada, Ev Cantada, and Horacio Domingues.
Four cover are available: the main artwork by Roy Allan Martinez, variants by Richard Bonk and Puis Calzada, and a limited edition Halloween III homage by Buz Hasson & Ken Haeser.
In addition to your standard comic retailers, you can pre-order copies signed by Hatchet creator Adam Green from ArieScope Pictures. They’re $15 each except the Halloween III cover which is $20, or $50 for all four versions.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified more than 120,000 locations around the US where people may be exposed to a class of toxic “forever chemicals” associated with various cancers and other health problems that is a frightening tally four times larger than previously reported, according to data obtained by the Guardian.
The list of facilities makes it clear that virtually no part of America appears free from the potential risk of air and water contamination with the chemicals known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
Colorado tops the EPA list with an estimated 21,400 facilities, followed by California’s 13,000 sites and Oklahoma with just under 12,000. The facilities on the list represent dozens of industrial sectors, including oil and gas work, mining, chemical manufacturing, plastics, waste management and landfill operations. Airports, fire training facilities and some military-related sites are also included.
The EPA describes its list as “facilities in industries that may be handling PFAS”. Most of the facilities are described as “active”, several thousand are listed as “inactive” and many others show no indication of such status. PFAS are often referred to as “forever chemicals” due to their longevity in the environment, thus even sites that are no longer actively discharging pollutants can still be a problem, according to the EPA.
The tally far exceeds a previous analysis that showed 29,900 industrial sites known or suspected of making or using the toxic chemicals.
People living near such facilities “are certain to be exposed, some at very high levels” to PFAS chemicals, said David Brown, a public health toxicologist and former director of environmental epidemiology at the Connecticut department of health.
Brown said he suspects there are far more sites than even those on the EPA list, posing long-term health risks for unsuspecting people who live near them.
“Once it’s in the environment it almost never breaks down,” Brown said of PFAS. “This is such a potent compound in terms of its toxicity and it tends to bioaccumulate … This is one of the compounds that persists forever.”
A Guardian analysis of the EPA data set shows that in Colorado, one county alone – Weld county – houses more than 8,000 potential PFAS handling sites, with 7,900 described as oil and gas operations. Oil and gas operations lead the list of industry sectors the EPA says may be handling PFAS chemicals, according to the Guardian analysis.

New! Double podcast episode on the West Virginia mine wars 1902-1922. We speak with Catherine Moore and others from the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum, as well as some striking West Virginia teachers about the conflicts, and how they are remembered today. This episode is a re-edited, partially re-recorded and much improved version of our podcast episode 7. As well as producing new episodes, we are going to be going back and redoing our old episodes in the better, narrative format of our later episodes. Part 1 out now for early listening for our patreon supporters: https://workingclasshistory.com/2021/10/18/e57-west-virginia-mine-wars-1902-1922/https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1833414596843682/?type=3
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
