2. They were a surprisingly good contrast to each other, though I admit that I liked The Martian better than the graphic novel collection. I really enjoyed how nerdy the book can get, and I'm excited to read more of Andy Weir's work.

1. Books finished this week:
Clive Barker's Hellraiser Omnibus Volume 1 and The Martian.

Hellraiser is a cerebral evil versus a lesser evil story about how humanity is fundamentally flawed.

The Martian is about how humans can come together and set aside personal differences for the common good.

We should make Condiment King a new figure of the resistance.

I read the unabridged novel when my family went to a cabin in the woods for a weekend at a similar age!

Sam from Death Stranding 2 rides a zipline with a flock of birds in the background.

I love the look of this game. Death Stranding 2 does something unique for a single-player game: it makes you feel more connected to other players than some massively multiplayer games.

Epic. Have an amazing time!

The Blue Prince is a satisfying puzzler that makes you feel like you're playing an escape or puzzle room.

It's Transgender Day of Visibility. The way I feel has immeasurably improved since coming out over 10 years ago.

Support trans folks. We will always be here.

This is impeachment-worthy. Force your colleagues across the aisle to take another stand on the wrong side of history.

Whenever someone calls MN a "purple state" I always like to bring up our presidential voting record.

I really enjoyed the episodes I watched of that. I've been saving some of those shows for when my niece is older. She's a big DC fan (but loves all comics).

That's completely valid! I appreciate your review!

Movie posters for Kraven the Hunter, Venom, Red Rooms, and Mickey 17.

Here we go.

I wanna know why Bottoms lost half a star.

Carol has claimed this chair as her own.

I remember feeling really freed after coming out. It's so great when you can bring your whole self to the table.

That was a really fun season of The Traitors. It makes me want to play more Ultimate Werewolf.

Common Side Effects is a great [adult swim] drama.

You have to show them how you're doing a thing... (stands up)

Former NFL player Chris Kluwe arrested during Huntington Beach City Council meeting Kluwe, a Huntington Beach resident, made comments against a MAGA plaque proposed for installation at the Central Library, then approached the dais and was arrested.

It made me so happy to see Chris Kluwe is still fighting the good fight. He was the TC Pride Grand Marshall in 2013.

The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Oh I love this

Beer Choir

I know that there's a lot of bad going on right now, but I'm looking forward to beer choir tonight. If you're looking to get out and do something fun, they have chapters all over the US.

Nah, just get this. I've chewed on so many inedible things.

I love libraries. Some of my favorite memories of my childhood involve spending a week with my grandma in Tomahawk, WI and checking out a bunch of books from their library to read during the trip.

What's your favorite library moment?

It goes beyond AI-generated news. Thomson Reuters is a publisher and legal/tax tech company, too.

What do you call a retro light source in the beginning stage of an infestation?

...a larval lamp!

I love it when a dog cuddles with you while you're playing a game.

Looking great! A bit longer, and you could even try a pixie cut out!
