@kuketz Vielleicht liegt das an meiner individuellen Berlin-Blase, in der ich mich bewege, aber wenn der Deutschlandfunk gendert, meine Tageszeitung gendert und ein IT-Blog wie Netzpolitik.org gendert, dann stolpere ich umso heftiger, wenn diese inkludierende Geste ausbleibt.
2/6
Das Thema hat ein paar Tage in mir gearbeitet, jetzt übernehme ich mal den undankbaren Part einer konstruktiven Gegenrede. 😅
Vorneweg: die Nazikeule gegen nicht gendernde Blogs einzusetzen finde ich genauso schrill und überzogen.
Und das Kuketz-Blog ist ein Juwel, das jeden Spendencent dreimal wert ist.
Gleichzeitig fühle ich mich als queere Person ausgeschlossen und nicht angesprochen, wenn nicht gegendert wird.
Und fürchte, dass das Blog auf diese Weise auch an Reichweite einbüßt.

I'm shocked that #Berlin's foremost #comics underground institution, the Renate Comics Library, can only pay its rent for two more months due to the pandemic.
This is an essential place for the Berlin comics scene for over 30 yrs now. I've been to the monthly meetups countless times and I've given workshops there - it's a priceless incubator for art and friendship.
If you can afford it, please consider donating to save this gem:

OMG, #TillieWalden's exceptional queer space odyssey #comic “On a Sunbeam” is finally out in German!
My nieces and nephews better beware - whatever the oocasion, this will be behind any gift wrapping in the foreseeable future!

@chpietsch Ah yes I see, I guess most fans of the original feel that way.
Thought she couldn't hurt in a list with Rufus Wainwright and Diana Krall...

Cannot recommend #Ecosia, they send search data directly to #Bing alias #Microsoft and don't even try to protect your privacy. Also, they use a whole lot of third parties for some of their site features. Try using #Qwant, #Startpage, #Metager or #YaCy instead. More alternatives:

Currently drawing another #silhouette-style #fairytale chapter.
I actually cheated and skipped a more complicated chapter for this easier one - lots of stress and people to take care of these days, and I worried the #comics pages would otherwise peter out entirely…

Delete Chrome. Now.
Google is using its exceptionally powerful position to make *the browser itself* analyze your browsing behavior and serve that on a plate in the form of "cohorts" to anyone interested.
They are transforming Chrome into a "browsing-history-passport" - right now.
If you care about your intellectual freedom even a little bit, you must put Chrome out of your life as soon as possible. Support others doing the same.

feels so fucking dumb scrolling through twitter getting pissed off at random shit and suddenly remembering "oh right, this site is designed to make me angry"

Steve Rogers, Antifascist
It's easy to look at Captain America and see the propaganda image, especially what the in-bed-with-the-military movie continuity wants you to buy into. But the movies made a lot of changes that had nothing to do with the comics.
In the comics? Captain America was used to put a USA identity on speaking out against everything awful that was being done by the USA, to have the iconography of the state used against itself.
@curus Maybe there's an order of the pictures in which they begin to tell a story...
