I’m so thrilled these are coming back into print, having missed a handful of volumes during the 2015-2019 IDW/Euro Comics printing.

It’s Time To Grow Up | Defector HBO’s new Harry Potter TV series is premiering this Christmas Day. Under current plans, it will last at least a decade. The trailer looks like the original films were run through an AI generator, but ...

“It is beneath my dignity to let myself be run over by any trolley, and particularly this trolley, burdened as it is by a cape and a stupid hat.”

I wrote for Defector about boycotting Harry Potter, the ‘safe’, kindly face of anti-trans politics:

They regularly double book our league against one-off corporate parties, even though we’re there all the goddamn time drinking overpriced miller lites.

Looks like the powerful Archival Research Services lobby finally got to him.

In fact, Rowling has dug in her heels to make things worse. Not just with her hateful statements in her personal life, but the way she's dug in her heels to prevent Potter from connecting to a new generation of children--a generation that is even MORE diverse and accepting of diversity, by the way.

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

Honestly, it’s the pacing that’s my biggest issue. Too much crammed into one issue, no time for anything to breathe. I don’t love the pencils but there are some interesting panel layouts.

Friends—people I trusted—sat me down in 2004 and played the first couple episodes for me and made me really question a lot of things.

As a public service, I thought I'd offer a little constructive criticism of the most popular styles of bike racks, since it appears that the entities that manufacture and install these racks are clueless about the needs of actual bike riders.

"The public feedback even led Mayor Foushee to question whether a future bike-and-pedestrian mall should even go on East Weaver Street at all."

This is so disappointing that as always this town fails to prioritize anything over the free movement of motor vehicles.

There’s some good stuff on both How I Got Over (2010) and Undun (2012), and I have really liked each of the Black Thought solo/colabs that have happened in the last 5-7 years.

Woman refuses Cycling UK award over trans women being left out - BBC News Claire Sharpe says she disagrees with Cycling UK only naming biological women in their top 100 list.

A cycling influencer nominated for a list of top 100 women cyclists said she has declined the honour due to the decision not to include trans women.

Claire Sharpe, a cycling coach from Bristol, said: "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of" 👏🏻
