a nice thing about when the internet was a bunch of little sites and servers was that it was a lot harder for governments to pressure "the chat provider everyone uses" to implement age verification.

you wanna pressure 300 separate IRC servers? good luck with that. but one company? easy

i've had to spend a lot of time lying in bed lately because of my new blood pressure meds and it has honestly been a great time to get really into retro pals

a modest proposal: when neil gaiman's new book comes out there's going to be a spate of "i read neil gaiman's new book so you don't have to" videos and what if we just skip that step?

09.02.2026 18:19 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 14    ๐Ÿ” 3    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

i've said this before but the reason i have so much to say about gaiman is because sandman was really formative to me, it was the comic that got me into comic books as a teen. but then i realize there are other, better works, for example that don't kill off every black woman and trans character

i know whenever someone famous is revealed to be a creep there's a performative rush to say "i never really liked his work anyway" but i swear neil gaiman was only ever a cultural middle-man to the work you actually wanted to be reading

i was about to mention this one! literally everything people claim to like about gaiman books but unsifted through the White Guy sieve

kij johnson's The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe is another scratches-exactly-the-same-itch-as-a-gaiman-book book

tbh if you're sad about "losing" neil gaiman as a favorite author go read Piranesi susanna clarke, it's a little bit copaganda but it'll make you stop whining about missing gaiman

we say "read another book" to harry potter adults a lot and it's easier in that case because rowling is objectively a bad writer but i swear to you, there are other books that are just as good if not better than any given gaiman thing you like

i see people say things like "of course fuck neil gaiman but what a tragic loss for Art" and i have no idea what they're talking about, neil gaimain is tim burton for people who read a shakespeare play once in high school and remember kind of liking it

when it comes to any sport with a ball, i ask myself a simple question: is this game as cool as murderball? and the answer is always no,* and so i don't watch the game
