being too warm during the day: well, this sucks, but this temperature makes sense because the sun is up, and the sun is making me warm. i am unhappy but logically i can deal with it for now.

being too warm at night: what if i kill everybody.

You can’t Abstain your way to a Better World.

The Burger still gets made, even if you go Vegan. If you don’t buy it, it just winds up in the trash. If you want to do something meaningful about waste, you need legislation: It must become a crime to waste food in those ways.

If you care about Animal Cruelty in Factory Farms, you need to get legislation passed. It must become a crime to mistreat animals in those ways, and when malfeasances occurs, the onus of responsibility for those crimes must fall upon wealthy shoulders. That, also, requires legislation. It requires regulations, and regulators.

The largest source of Microplastics is wear and tear on automobile tires. It doesn’t matter what brand of shampoo you buy. It doesn’t matter which company you support with your dollar. The issue of Public Transit is too large-scale to be handled at anything less than the municipal level.

It’s not enough to just not participate in society

If you want the world to Change, you must leverage the mechanisms of political power.

You need Government.

hey everypony !! since i’m supporting the DCblackout boycott, i figured i’d make a small info post with links and summaries !!

DCblackout:

DCblackout is the second stage of the DCsowhite discussion that took place earlier this year, which pointed out that DC hasn’t publtished a solo, on-going black title in over 1200 days

DCblackout has 3 main goals: 1. establish and announce 1-3 black on-going titles (with black creative teams) that have cancellation immunity for a minimum of 2 years, 2. educate fans on how sales work so they can accurately support the titles they love, & 3. greenlight a power company book if the titles do well (which would help a fanbase grow)

the goal of DCblackout is to raise awareness of the lack of black DC stories and give fans heroes they can relate to and see themselves in.

blackgirlnerds.com

their official public statement is as follows:

bleedingcool.com

DCsowhite and why now:

DCsowhite brought attention to the fact that there has been no black on-going title in over 1200 days. the last title was ‘I Am Batman’, which ran from 2021-2023 and ended on its #18 issue.

dc heavily relies on mini-runs or one shots for black characters, and black female characters receive even less.

james portis III (aka JPenumbra) posted a piece to comicsbeat.com focusing on the issue.

comicbeats.com

this has been an issue for a long time, but it doesn’t have to continue this way !! below is a link to the DCblackout petition, and blow that are links to JPenumbra’s original piece, the DCblackout website, and blackgirlnerds.com and bleedingcool.com’s pieces (in that order).

#DCSoWhite: End the Black Superhero Drought

It has now been 1171 days since the last time DC published an ongoing series for a Black character in their mainline continuity

DCBlackout - a DC Comics boyocott.

Following the viral #DCSoWhite conversation, creators demand sustained investment, visibility, and accountability for Black representation

Recently remembered my favorite Steph panel and wanted to post it. The pose... the expression... her moe factor on its own should be enough to incapacitate any villain.

There are a few Duke reading lists on League of Comic Geeks already buttttt here's my personal take on it, focused on stories that I think advance Duke's character and narrative!!! So not completionist but aiming to be comprehensive + get more people to join Duke nation. Very indebted to @duketectivecomics' reading list as always :)))

This is my personal list of Duke reading recs, including all the stories I think meaningfully impact his character, story, or relationships!

#hehehe I’ll be taking this….#more excuses to procrastinate

Duke insulting Jason Todd for no reason oh Duke nation we are so back

Pride month vest project, a patch a day #29: Wheat But Not Bread, Fruit But Not Wine

gelbgelbgelb

As my friend Julian puts it, only half winkingly: "God blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason God made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine, so that humanity might share in the act of creation."

-- Daniel Mallory Ortberg

technologistrevolution

This has been driving me insane because this quote is so incredibly Jewish but every time I saw it was completely divorced from Judaism in the version applying it to 'transsexual'.

The original concept that humans complete the act of creation by making bread from wheat is from the Talmud! And the specific "wheat but not bread, grapes but not wine" phrasing is from Jewish theologian Abraham Heschel but it is missing "clay but not bricks".

And among trans Jews the sentiment was already popular before I ever started seeing this specific phrasing so I knew, knew, knew a Jew and likely a trans Jew was involved.

As it happens, Ortberg's friend Julian is Jewish and they have strongly negative feelings about the way the quote has been removed from the context of their life as someone trans and Jewish. They used to have a thread up on xwitter about it but have since made their account private and only have a very terse FAQ online from which you can glean the treatment they likely received when being more open about their Jewishness, relationship to transness, and the interaction of both.

I've always thought there was something extremely Jewish about that quote! I had no idea that Julian is Jewish.

kosherdragon

I looked at Julian's twitter and there's a linked in bio thread about this quote. There are a few clarifying tweets there

1. Julian isn't Jewish.

2. The quote actually is influenced by Jewish theology, specifically Rabbi Akiva.

Anyway, I'm glad I saw their twitter and the thread about this famous quote. It's often misattributed, and it's clear that it annoys Julian when people post this quote starting with "As my friend Julian puts it..." and then cite Danny Lavery (usually with a surname he no longer uses) as the author, when the original quote is available as a tweet from 2018.
