In Alan Moore's essays on writing comics, he drops a line in the conclusion: "It's more important to be a good human being than a good writer." Try to remember that.

Let's be clear, when mayors say they want to ban masks for "safety", they couldn't care less about public safety. What the mean is they want to see faces for surveillance purposes. They care about criminalizing your right to protest not your health or safety.

Fully prepared to shun this outfit if they show their faces here. SEEN publishing is anti-queer and probably especially anti-trans and they're probably organizing to smother books that aren't cuddled up to the kyriarchy. And anonymous, of course. it said this was my one free article for the month

"Professional agitator" is the term segregationists used to denounce Martin Luther King Jr. during the Birmingham campaign, and it was just as valid a criticism then as it is now.

Reminder: Sure, the student protestors turned out to be right about Vietnam, and gay rights, and apartheid, and the Latin American dirty wars, and the invasion of Iraq -- but *this time* they are cluelessly naive and only protesting to look cool to their friends.
