In the face of rising authoritarianism, creativity is an enduring movement superpower that helped us break through the stranglehold of fear
Hey.
It can feel like nobody's doing anything about The Everything.
But in fact we did a lot in 2025. I'm betting pretty much every USian tumblrina can see themself in at least one thing in this article. Mexicans, Canadians, y'all went above and beyond. Thank you.
Read the piece for reassurance -- you are not alone in resisting. Read it for ideas for next year! I picked up a couple.
Hope to see you on the picket lines and in the protest lines. Love you.
“I have a wife to admire, as well. Alas, there are only so many hours in the day to fit so many responsibilities. I must prioritize my duties properly.”
“Such a smooth talker. I wonder if you could say such pretty words to get out of battle.”
“Perhaps if I show them the face of my pretty wife, they’d let me go unscathed. It would be a crime to strip a man from returning home to this.”
“That’s enough from you—off you go! Begone!”

GUUUUUUUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSS LOOK WHAT I DIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
So!! This one's in comic format and this one is intense. These are the images I get in my mind literally eeeevery time I listen to the opening of language of the lost. Only now have they crystalized into a fully formed au. Kind of a shame that the very first comic has such intense tws because honestly the rest of it (what I'm planning at least) will be FAR more chill. But necessary, because what better place to start... than the beginning?
Currently I'm planning on updating this one pretty infrequently, I've got sooooo many projects and especially Shard Walker already, but if there ends up being a lot of people who like it/want more of it then I will try to update it more often!!
The other comics will likely not be as polished as this one, it's all ✨special✨ because it's the very first and because I had such vivid ideas for it. I'm not a comic artist, this is only my second time really doing anything comic-y to be honest (so hopefully I didn't do any comic faux pas or anything), but comics or webcomics are one of the industries I'm looking into as a potential career or part of one, so it'll definitely be good to get in some practice! Even if I suck at it at first lmao 😅.
Also thank u to @thegayestaddams for helping me not lose my mind trying to figure out if these are comprehensible lmao ur a real one
