Photo-mockup of a double LP album front and back cover next to each other. The front cover shows a 60s photo of a hippie man with flowers in his hair, and is cut off by a graphic rainbow band that runs across the cover horizontally at an angle. "Michael's Selection" is written boldly across the front with a rainbow line around the funky font. Underneath, smaller and written in a more simple serif font stands "GOOD VIBRATIONS". The rainbow band from the front continues to the back and makes a curve upards. the lower part shows a vintage photo of some weeds and in bold, funky font with a red outline is written "The 60s are back in a Double-Album!". On top of the rainbow band on off-white ground it reads "Featuring the legendary ..." and then lists several artists in a small font.

Panel 1. The word Énouement is written in white, against a dark field of stars. The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows defines énouement as "the bittersweetness of having arrived here in the future, where you can finally get the answers to how things turn out in the real world—who your baby sister would become, what your friends would end up doing, where your choices would lead you, exactly when you’d lose the people you took for granted—which is priceless intel that you instinctively want to share with anybody who hadn’t already made the journey, as if there was some part of you who had volunteered to stay behind, who was still stationed at a forgotten outpost somewhere in the past, still eagerly awaiting news from the front." I think it's such a perfect word. Leave it to the French. My name, Samantha Richardson, sits in the corner of the panel, also written in white.

Panel 2: A child is asleep in a dark room. There is a stuffed dinosaur lying on top of them. A Dark Crystal poster hangs on the wall behind them, as well as a childish drawing of a T.rex. Panel 3: Same scene, but a crack of light, as if from an opened door, falls across the child. Panel 4: A person dressed in a long green coat and rolled-up pants stands in the middle of the room, which is again dark. The person is carrying a duffle bag. We see dinosaurs, books, and clothing strewn across the floor. The person says, "Hey." Panel 5: The person sits on the child's bed, and we see now she is a woman with brown hair, grown out from a purple coloring job. Panel 5: Close up on the woman, who, seeming to speak to the room in general, says, "So, I know how sad you are. I know how you cry yourself to sleep some nights." "I know how angry you feel." "How scared."

Panel 7: The woman picks up the stuffed dinosaur, which is green with widely-spaced, thin, purple stripe. She holds it almost timidly. Panel 8: Close-up on the dinosaur head, which has a plaid white and blue patch sewn onto the neck. The woman says, "I know what the years that are coming are going to be like." "And I am so sorry." Panel 9: The woman holds the dinosaur gently to her cheek, and a darkness seems to gather behind her. Panel 10: The darkness coalesces into a cloud over her head, and the woman buries her face into the dinosaur's back, hugging it tightly. Panel 11: The woman pulls her face away from the stuffed dinosaur, and the dark cloud appears to break up. Panel 12: The woman straightens, tears running down her face. The cloud dissipates. Panel 13: The woman offers a small smile, still crying. She says, "But..."

Panel 14: There is a Boba Fett toy on the floor, a sock, a toy T.rex, and 2 issues of The Uncanny X-men comics, issues 167 and 168. The woman continues, "...You're going to have good times, too. You'll have amazing friends." Panel 15: More floor. In this panel there is a blue, hard-back cover of The Book of Mormon, and a red scripture-marking pencil. The woman says, "You're going to serve a mission in Portugal. You're gonna fall in love." Panel 16: The top of a night stand, we see a small plastic sauropod, a green army man with a bazooka, and an orange Swedish Dala horse. The woman's dialog reads: "You're going to visit Sweden. A lot." Panel 17: Floor again, where a plastic two-headed dragon battles a knight and ranger. More dialog: "And...Dungeons and Dragons. It's totally going to change your life." Panel 18: The woman is reaching hesitantly towards the child. The woman says, "And there's Jurassic Park, and SO many superhero movies, even if the X-men ones are kinda terrible."

Moving all my stuff into a new place.

This comic is one of the only things I have done that I actually feel proud of,

It's such an odd feeling.

But I love it.

And I love you, so I thought I would share it with you.

This is later than middle ages, but it reminds me of one very eye opening but of history for me.

Years back, I had just bought the best laptop I had ever owned. I’d saved up for it, as it had cost a fair amount, but I was LIVING out of it. (This will make sense, I promise)

The world’s 280 million electric bikes and mopeds are cutting demand for oil far more than electric cars Electric vehicles get all the press – but it’s the smaller unsung two wheelers cutting oil demand the most.

Each autistic person is different, but a lot of us share sensitivities and may respond badly to the following types of stimuli:

- systemic injustice
- dehumanising behaviors
- indifference towards facts
- lack of commitment to logical reasoning

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

FAFO le facho !

Je dis ça parce que j'ai encore entendu quelqu'un dire qu'en franchissant une tranche d'impôt tu t'appauvris. C'EST COMPLETEMENT FAUX et si on paye beaucoup d'impôts, c'est qu'on gagne beaucoup d'argent.

But then they don't ask, "why is maximum profit the assumed important part of this? What else is important here? Are there other considerations here, maybe?"

When someone says "X is efficient" always ask EFFICIENT AT WHAT?

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Can't wait!

Most cartoonists aren't Rembrandt, but they become the voices of generations bc they are able to pinpoint, with painful accuracy, something no one else had the words to say. That's where the quality of their art comes from. A great artist is a great observer. The skillset is secondary.

Attitude

Yup. This is also why I get annoyed when people start suggesting "golden age" science fiction titles to people who are new the genre and are asking for suggestions. You want to turn a modern 15-year-old off science fiction forever, recommend stories that were old when her grandparents were her age.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever.

C'est pour la région de Comines.

For my followers in the EU, there is an European citizens’ initiative you can sign to demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
If you are for BDS this would be a huge step up.

Not that I don't believe you, but if I want to use this very interesting piece of data one day, I'll need better that "some person on BlueSky said it" 🙂
