Picked up Parts of a Hole last year after the show released and I fell in love with this character, been making it a mission of mine to read as many of her stories as I can, criminally underpublished character, would absolutely love for her to have a solo run at some point, but only time shall tell.

Been reading Parts of a Hole and Echo again(Daredevil 1998 #9-14/51-55) and every time I read these 2 stories I'm blown away by the art, half this book should be in a gallery! @david-mack.bsky.social and Co, incredible work all round!!!

I find the deletion of the achievements of anyone who isn’t a white man to be the single most sickening thing Trump has done. That history will remain, will be restored. That *so many* are resisting, that the power feels shaky already, is heartening.

Depicted is a mock poster for The Penguin only this is the Aussie version which differs in that it's called "The Tim Tam". The meme was inspired by a post by @ciara.bsky.social. The reference is to a chocolate biscuit/cookie that's called "Penguin" in the UK, but "Tim Tam" in Australia. I confess, I had to look this up, for neither one is readily available in my country of origin.

Okay, about this echo chamber thing.

Who cares?

When I come here, I don't see a ton of obnoxious trolls spouting transphobia, homophobia, ableism, racism, misogyny and the rest of that shit thinking.

If that's an echo chamber, sign me up and save me a deck chair.

It occurred to me last night that booksellers like
Waterstones might like to introduce a 'no-AI' guarantee; no books will be AI-generated* and if one does slip through the net, a refund will be given and it'll be removed from sale. A good way to take business from Amazon**.

Bohemian Rhapsody was terrible. Yes, it's homophobic trash, but also: Mike Myers plays a made-up exec who turns down Queen in the 70s...then we see him hearing them smash Live Aid and he's like "whoa, it's that band I turned down!" like he just found out Queen are successful.

I get confused when people aren’t mainly attracted to people who can kill them. Like, when I hold Thai pads for Katy, I have to, in addition, wear a chest plate and mouth guard and still end up bloody sometimes cause her kicks are just that hard. If you can’t do that, how you going to make me cum?

A screenshot of the Bluesky reporting tool on top of the official Autism Speaks account. In the additional information section, I’ve written: β€œAlbeit counterintuitive, Autism Speaks is almost unanimously regarded as a hate group by the autistic community. Not only do they spread misinformation, they advocate for harmful and traumatizing interventions and public policy.
They have also been known to harass autistic adults on social media.”

DAY 12: Daredevil/Echo: Vision Quest (2006) by David Mack

Continuing Echos story, this sets the stage for the character's future. Its a beautiful book with some of the most stunning comic art of all time and gives Echo the center stage for the first time

Not me taking 3 days to realise that @david-mack.bsky.social, the creator of the absolute legend of a character that isMaya Lopez liked one of my posts? I really need to pay more attention to my notifs sometimes!

By complete coincidence I've managed to be watching Rememberance of The Daleks on Doccy Who day. How I managed to watch the one story actually set on Nov.23 on Nov.23 I don't know but I'm glad I have!

Made this back when The Star Beast came out and I was struck by just how good Murray Gold's score was after being incredibly skeptical of his return, lets just say I'm incredibly happy to have been proven so catastrphically wrong about him!

Music rambling time! As I will be posting more music going forward, I thought I'd show off my biggest inspirations/favourite composers! And they are...

Barry Gray

Hang on, I have an idea to test how BlueSky really compares to the other place:

"The Last Jedi is a good movie."

William Russell, a.k.a. Ian Chesterton, passed away back in June. Today, November 19th, would have been his 100th Birthday. To celebrate William's incalculable reaction to the Whoniverse, here's my video tribute to the show's first main character.
