In fact, Shareable’s co-founder Neal Gorenflo made new friends and saved $17,000 in 2011 during his “Year of Living Shareably.” Try one of the guides and let us know how it goes.
<3 Greg Rucka’s Lois Lane maxi-series continues to be one of the only good things that DC publishes <3
We get fabulous lesbian Renee Montoya and Lois dragging Batman (Who always deserves to be dragged because I mean come on…look at how he chooses to live his life)
And also
A massive “Fuck you” to the racist fascist TRASH that is I.C.E and the dog-fucking scum that is the US government
The world of superhero comics needs more comics like Lois Lane and more writers like Greg Rucka
I love the subtlety of their calling out the racism inherent in ICE and most anti-immigrant groups. Especially how it’s Lois Lane, who has every reason to believe the “Everyone loves Superman and Wonder Woman because they’re heroes” line, that acknowledges that their skin color lets them get a pass where others don’t.
Same kind of vibe as this panel from Injustice, only subtler and more specific in its commentary:
Though to be clear, J’onn’s line here only applies to the weird fascist murder mess that is Injustice! Wonder Woman
Who is
A garbage Wonder Woman
I do not believe that anyone watching it happen thinks Batman is enjoying himself while beating up criminals.
I mean he’s VERY entuhiastic about it…
It depends on the criminal and how evil they are
At least when Bruce is written WELL it does
If it’s the Joker or Black Mask he’s gonna take great joy in beating them into paste with his fists <3
I still never understood the idea of Injustice! Wonder Woman. Like what were they thinking when making her?
It’s like they just went “What if we took all the Absolute Worst Takes on Wonder Woman and combined them but then also made them worse…”
Like, why use Wonder Woman, if you aren’t gonna use Wonder Woman? It’s like that one elseworld where Diana was a freaking Nazi. (And Clark spent some time as a teenage girl for some reason) What is the freaking point of using her if she isn’t remotely recognizable as herself? Like if you want to write a hero as a villain in another universe/timeline, fine, but at least make them recognizable as a version of the hero. Make them foils of each other, show us how the hero could have come the villain, give us some message. Otherwise, what’s the point?
And no, Kal El being raised by evil people doesn’t count.
Honestly the only good elseworld! Wonder Women I can think of in the comics are the Bombshells version…every other time I’ve seen her in an Elseworlds she’s either been OOC and terrible or full on a supervillain monster
I think the problem is that 80% of Elseworlds really come down to “What if Superman/Batman was [X]?… meh yeah I guess I can include WW somewhere…” by people who only care about Superman and/or Batman. which comes hand-in-hand with most (male) writers only seeing Wonder Woman as secondary to Superman & Batman.
“Let’s just make her their girlfriend…or evil…or something”
Never as ACTUALLY the villain, though. that would be crazy. Just as the Dragon… or the Dark Chick. Or anything that doesn’t involve her being the one with actual power in the narrative.
I found a really good book that I think will help!
It’s really easy to follow and has a wide variety of plants:
You can basically find the plant listed that looks most like the plant you have, and go to the page listed under it. And it’ll say how to care for it!
Here’s an example ^ not only does it say what lighting and watering it needs like most books, but it also lists the different things that can go wrong with this plant and which make us think it’s dying. Like wilting being too much water, edges crisping being not enough misting, what sunburn on this plant looks like, etc.
A common mistake people make that kills plants is too much water or not enough water, it can be tricky until you get used to your plant’s needs! This explains watering techniques really well.
And a bunch of other stuff it shows you, like buying the best plant for your environment, repotting them, feeding them, all sorts of things!
Thank you for the tip! My current apartment is too dark and too hot if summer is hot (around 40C indoors last summer for 2,5 months straight, including night time). Tropical rain forest nights and days like in Egypt next to a North Pole, yay…..
Anyway! I keep this in mind for my next apartment :3
The first annual Sovereign Sisters Gathering brought together women
and their allies to talk about how to oppose the current industrialized
economy and establish a new model, one in which Indigenous women reclaim
and reassert their sovereignty over themselves, their food systems, and
their economies.
“When did we as a people lose our self-empowerment? When did we wait
for a government to tell us whether or not we could have health care?
When did we wait for them to feed us?” Allard asked. “When did we wait
for laws and policies to be created so that we could have a community?
When did that happen?”
Besides the vulnerability of monocrops to extreme weather events, these industrial agricultural crops are also dependent on pesticides and herbicides. Additionally, pests are adapting, producing chemical resistant insects and superweeds.
“We’re running out of bullets in our food system, and it’s quite precarious right now,” she said. “The poor animals that we farm are also on the precipice … so we’re in a state where we should probably start asking ourselves that question now, before we’re forced to, and remember the joy of feeding ourselves.”
“We’ve given our power over to an entity that doesn’t deserve our power,” she added, referencing the modern corporate industrial system. “We must take back that empowerment of self. We must take back our own health care. We must take back our own food. We must take back our families. We must take back our environment. Because you see what’s happening. We gave the power to an entity, and the entity is destroying our world around us.”
…“I tell people that our first act of sovereignty is planting food,” Allard said. “Our first act is taking care of self. So no matter what we do, if we’re not taking care of self, we’ve already failed.”
Indie horror author Adam Cesare (Video Night, The Summer Job) makes the jump to the big leagues with Clown in a Cornfield, which will be published on August 25 via HarperCollins’ HarperTeen.
The 352-page young adult horror novel features cover art by Matt Ryan Tobin. You’ll also notice an endorsement from one Clive Barker (Hellraiser, Candyman), who calls Cesare “an author who knows how to make us afraid.”
Clown in a Cornfield is available for pre-order in hardcover ($12.59), e-book ($9.99), and audiobook ($26.94) on Amazon. The synopsis is below.
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.
