...
the heavy jaw; for I shall tell you now
my fatal limitation … not the pact
between the worlds of Fantasy and Fact
which makes me shun such an attractive spot
as Berchtesgaden, say; and also not
that little business of my draft; but worse:
a tragic misadjustment and a curse.

Vladimir Nabokov
The Man of To-morrow’s Lament
(1942)
I have to wear these glasses – otherwise,
when I caress her with my super-eyes,
her lungs and liver are too plainly seen
throbbing, like deep-sea creatures, in between
dim bones. Oh, I am sick of loitering here,
a banished trunk (like my namesake in “Lear”),
but when I switch to tights, still less I prize
my splendid torso, my tremendous thighs,
the dark-blue forelock on my narrow brow,
...
I'm sure you've asked yourself what a poem written by Vladimir #Nabokov inspired by the cover of a #Superman #comic book might sound like?
Well, the universe delivers!

In in, Clark Kent mourns his inability to have sex or children with Lois Lane, as his superpowers would injure or even kill her.

12/ I am aware of all of the very legitimate criticisms of #Signal. They are real and they are why I am excited that there are so many alternatives with promise, some of which I use actively. Let us technical people use, debug, contribute, and evangelize the alternatives.
And while we're doing that, tell Grandma to contact us on Signal.

Session messenger / lewd /sexism
To all who thought that the alt-right #Session messenger is just a neutral piece of software without repercussions for your personal life, think again!
The #LokiProject just unrolled its latest feature: digital conversion therapy!
Yes, fellow fags and fairies*, just use #Session and finally become that hero-jawed, cishet, “totally alpha” bully, right out of a closeted right-winger’s wet fever dream 🤮️
Fellow artists, would you be interested in something like writer's hour ( https://writershour.com/ ) for making art? I'm thinking about setting up something like this, not sure how yet, suggestions welcome ~
Comic about online dating, mention of sex
This is a comic I made in 2016 when my friend was really busy with online dating. I wasn't really familiar with it personally because I had an old phone for the longest time, but I was enjoying her stories. This is all real, I'm not making anything up. Always wondering about the ethics of what I do but I figure its ok to laugh a bit with those guys.
