Just so everyone is aware:
Uploading 43 million videos about Captain Marvel ruining your childhood is NOT cringe.

Attacking the capital because your candidate lost is not an overreaction.

Creating two dozen broken fake twitter apps that instantly fail is perfectly normal. Believing JFK Jr. is alive and turned into a short Italian guy who loves Trump is cool, actually.

Banning books or passing laws prohibiting speech is not anti-free speech.

And the real 1984 is having to wear a mask and get a vaccine during a global pandemic.

Checkmate, libs!

This is a spooky story that has a happy ending.

When I was little I loved those scary Scholastic book fair paperbacks, usually written by Daniel Cohen, that were about cryptids, movie monsters, ghosts and such.

There was one story in one book that made an impression on me. I remembered it was titled something like "The Light in the Attic" and was about a boy whose family disappears one by one into the attic above their backyard garage.

I knew it was from a book called Haunted House Stories and that it had an illustration of the boy on the phone.

There was always a weird, uncomfortable malignancy to the MLP fandom, but you get that with any nerd subculture (which is in itself a problem)

What I find most sad is how many cool, seemingly good-hearted people slid into fascism and right wing politics HARD around 2015/1016 People who I spent a ton of time with at cons, in chat, on twitter and group calls began to express really, deeply hateful views. And not in a "they were always bad, just hiding it" way. There was some kind of awakening that took place.

OH BABY, NO... I guess the intent was "Ha ha! Tissues look like fluffy duck tails!"

The execution is something else entirely.

The Next Adventure

#DuckTales #DuckTalesFinale #DucktalesFanArt Post-finale I wanted to make another image that stresses we shouldn't mourn what isn't truly gone.

Whether fan or official content, there's clearly so much more wonder and adventure ahead for this family and for all of us who keep them alive in our hearts and our creativity.

What follows is a long thread about an unusual subject. The concept of gender and an infamous case of a dreadful nuclear accident in Japan from the late 90s.

I apologize for the long form discussion. I'll return to my regularly scheduled nonsense and ineptitude shortly. While traveling this weekend I read a fascinating and deeply unsettling book called A Slow Death: 83 Days of Radiation Sickness. The nonfiction text recounts the Tokaimura Criticality Accident which exposed three men to unimaginable levels of gamma and neutron radiation.
