classic meets protoverse #THEPROTOMEN

It’s Wednesday! What does that mean? We celebrate Woden. How do we celebrate Woden? By recommending what comics you should buy in the shop with #WeReadsComics. What’s caught your eye? Creators, don’t be shy. Comics! Comics for Woden!

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"

Superman is the hero 2025 needs, and Justice League writer Mark Waid knows why: "There is a sense of dread that is an undercurrent to every moment of our lives," and "Superman is always the symbol of ... "Superman is always the symbol of what we can accomplish if we pull together, what we can do if we have empathy"

It's true. All of it:

Unionize immediately

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

AOC: If you are an LGBTQ kid or family, we cannot throw you under the bus in order to win an election. In this house, we stand together

This is a delicate issue. My position is as such:

Fuck you, you fucking piss fucker.

The only value Sarah McBride has for the trans community is a stark reminder that "representation" alone will never save us.

Unions now, more than ever.

Never gonna get over how good astrobot is

Not that I was ever particularly rah-rah for milquetoast technocratic neoliberalism, but I cannot really articulate how crestfallen by and even radicalized against the Democratic party the past five months have made me.

I am absolutely convinced they will do nothing of substance to stop any of this

if i used the phrase "medium-trust gaming group" ; what would you believe that to mean?

BALTIMORE: We’re back in town for GAMEFACE 2025! Stop by Peabody Heights Brewery for a free TTRPG micro-con Saturday, March 8 & Sunday, March 9 from 12-8pm. Hope to see you there!

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.

When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

GAMEFACECON

The local indie ttrpg con is starting tomorrow! I'm getting hyped!

(you should go, it's free to attend and it's at cool brewery with a huge arcade)

BREAKING: A federal judge just ordered the reinstatement of Democratic NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox.

She was fired by Trump to damage the labor board’s ability to function.

I once again apologize to DC Comics for ever saying that “Americans elect a supervillain as president” was a stupid storyline.

If anything, you downplayed it from just how stupid it really is. 🙄

Cover of LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK OF PRIDE, two parents kissing their child on the cheek while she holds a rainbow flag

MY LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK ABOUT PRIDE comes out today and I'm feeling extremely Ralph Wiggum "I'm in danger" about it. It's beautiful though and I love it no matter what they say

No More Female 4-Stars: Franchetti Firing Leaves Top Ranks Filled by Men Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Navy's first female chief, last week without any clear explanation -- part of a purge of top uniformed leadership that included the Joint...

NOTE: The opponents of DEI are purging anyone who is not a white man from military leadership

This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

A reminder for these times.

If you feel this way, you're not along. And together, we're going to keep the Republic. Pass it on.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding”

Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure.

We are all in this together, and we all go down together.

I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump.

“We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing.

It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America”

But it never stops there.

They got the memo. Good job AP.
