🔥 Top post If you are interested in the intersection between art and power and patriarchy (inc. the internalized variety), this interview, and this manga, is seriously worth your time. ★ 17
Fun little surprise for Gachiakuta fans at this one ★ 6 Comic Con after dark 7 pm babyyyy ★ 4 To follow up: This year beat me ★ 13 This is an important point. AIPAC is bad and their candidates should lose but we don't get to abdicate responsibility for US imperialism in the Middle East by leaning on tired and dangerous antisemitic stereotypes. ★ 7 Sounds great where do I sign up ★ 13 Is the middle one Evangelion ★ 2 The lost album cover ★ 7 Happy we have an edition in print with these covers. ★ 11 This is obscene. They killed this husband and father and now they're desperate to pin some crime, any crime, on him so that they can smear his corpse. Absolutely obscene. ★ 5 One of the top cursed game releases of the year ★ 1 Very true. ★ 3
