I think it’s more important to talk about why people believe they snuck on earth and how we can help them see they did not,

how they can learn to enjoy living,

than it is to believe them when they say some minorities were mean to me yesterday and that KILLED me, and then go on as if that’s that

If you don’t believe you exist in the positive then you always see other people as bigger than you. If you always see other people as bigger than you then maybe you rear up to meet them.

Could this guy with lifelong social trauma who made comic books about his special interest and who compared himself to the most famous autist have been autistic, traumatised, and subsequently maladapted in addressable ways? No, you fat bitch whore, you should die for suggesting something so gross

Tatjana Wood was also the regular colourist on Animal Man a little later and look how she adjusts the way she uses colour depending on which artist she's colouring as well.

(also adjusting her work to different kinds of paper after being used to newsprint!)

Wow! A lost short film by George Méliès from 1897 (!!) is discovered by Library of Congress archivists! It was in a box of old films donated by the great-grandson of a traveling showman who staged film screenings to astounded 19th century audiences.

You can watch it at the link.
