Remember when country music was made by people who hated cops, opposed imperialist wars, and also were good at writing songs?
Shitty post 9/11 country music can get its pickup truck off my lawn.

if the US doesn't want its military assets attacked maybe they should stop starting wars & fuck off back to their own borders
They clearly committed a war crime, but we've been watching an active genocide for years at this point, as well as watching the US commit *other* war crimes in the Caribbean in addition to murdering both citizens & immigrants on our own soil & no one with any kind of power is doing jack shit so
Big news, and not good news, but luckily for us we have time. It needs to get to the committee of rules FIRST before heading to the main house chamber.
This means our fight is not over.
We will need to fight HARDER

It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.
Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.
Book cover: The Grammar of Fantasy by Gianni Rodari, illustrated by Matthew Forsythe, translated from Italian by Jack Zipes. Cover illustration is a colorful, textural depiction of a child in white cloak walking past a giant’s foot; snakes, fish, a rabbit, and dragons lurk nearby. Eerie but friendly at the same time.
Chapter header from The Grammar of Fantasy: 38. The Child Who Reads Comics Illustration of a child hidden behind a large comic book with simplified shapes, eyes, and a mouth for panels.
Excerpt from The Grammar of Fantasy: books, new inventions are often added to the basic sounds, and these, too, must be deciphered. The entire course of the story must be reconstructed in the imagination, combining the signals provided by the captions, dialogue, and onomatopoeia with those given by the drawings and color, so that the many loose threads of the plot can be mentally tied together into a single, continuous thread. And it is the reader who makes sense of everything: the personality of the characters, who are not described, but shown in action; the relationships between them, which result from the plot and its developments; even the action itself, which is revealed to the reader only through jumps and fragments. For a child of six or seven years, comic books seem to me sufficiently demanding work, rich with logical and imaginative operations, regardless of the value and content of the comic book, which is not at issue here. When reading a comic, the imagination of the child does not passively assist; rather, it is urged to take a position, to analyze and synthesize, to classify and decide. There is no room here for absentminded daydreams, not while the mind is engaged in such complex attention and the imagination is called upon to fulfill its most noble functions. To venture to say that up to a certain point, the child's principal interest in comic books is not determined by their content, but is tied directly to the form and substance of the comics themselves, as a means of expression. The child wants to master the technique of the comic strip. That's it. She reads comic books in 238
Continued excerpt from The Grammar of Fantasy. order to learn how to read comic books, to understand their rules and conventions. She enjoys the efforts of her own imagination, more than the adventures of the characters. She plays with her own mind, not with the story. It may well be high-handed to separate things so clearly in this way. But the effort of distinguishing between them is worth it if the distinction helps us not to underestimate the child, and the underlying seriousness and moral engagement that she brings to everything she does. Everything else about comics has already been said, for better or for worse, and I won't bother you by repeating it.
did not expect this chapter! I especially love:
“When reading a comic, the imagination of the child does not passively assist; rather, it is urged to take a position, to analyze and synthesize, to classify and decide.”
(and also the eternal nature of “comics ? for kids ????” discourse lmao)

It does terrible fucking things to your mind if you stop getting feedback like "dude what the fuck are you talking about?"
Just look at how literally any billionaire speaks.

blue space elf girl with earrings noticing something not in the frame because this is just a panel segment, the idea is that you go read the comic, it's called cassiopeia quinn and it's free
There's a fine line between cooking and being cooked in this Cassiopeia Quinn page. I think it separates the panels, or something.

brianmcginnisnc Brian McGinnis' wife has NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital. He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries. Legal counsel has also been denied access. A Marine veteran. A firefighter. A father of four. And his family still cannot see him.
so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm

This always makes me think the same shit every time. Why are you working that job? If you want a machine to do every single step for you, why the fuck do you work? Why get out of bed without the passion to do the thing you're allegedly excited to do? Why not just roll over and die if you don't care?
please donate and/or help me spread this
chalk up another failure for 'bomb them until they overthrow their own government for us' i'm sure it'll work one of these days
This is very serious and I hope all the 1A orgs will meet the moment here.
2 kobolds standing next to each other. one has pink skin and is in an airy purple wrapped fabric dress with gold trim, her pose is elegant, facing away from the figure on the right but eyeing in her direction. the other has dandelion skin and is wearing a loose red crop top, with urban splinter cargo paints with pockets and a kneepad, and big red and black hightop shoes; her hands have gloves, and she's also wearing red tinted aviator goggles on her forhead. her eyes are closed, and she is facing the camera with a hand on her hip and another gesturing in the air. she is visibly sweating a bit.
