The Cover For The Zine Brother Of Shadows...And Son Of The Light By Susan Matthews, Illustrated By Suzan

The cover for the zine Brother of Shadows...And Son of the Light by Susan Matthews, illustrated by Suzan Lovett. It's been 30 years since I first saw this cover, and I still think it's gorgeous.

The front and back covers for the genzine Raising Hell, both by Suzan Lovett. Avon looks so perfect, riding a pegasus, and of course a unicorn would befriend Blake!

In economics we divide the population into income quintiles -- top 20%, bottom 20%, etc

The Biden Economy has been very, very good to the bottom 20% -- I know because I am in that quintile and under the Biden Presidency I have seen multiple SNAP increases, the best COLA adjustments for Social Security in four decades, Medicare now pays my utilities, and because I'm part of the Affordable Connectivity Program, they can now never turn off my internet even if I can't afford to pay the bill.

The problem with the poorest people being the one who benefits the most? Is that it doesn't resonate as a media story. The media is not catering to that bottom quintile -- we don't have the expendable income their advertisers are seeking.

But if you want to elect a POTUS who is honestly helping the people who need it the most, you should be an enthusiastic Biden supporter. It won't make splashy news headlines, you're not even going to find MSNBC going GUESS WHAT THE POORS ARE DOING BETTER all the time because it's really not a sexy story. But it's a real story. A true story.

I'm just really sick of the pseudo-leftist takes that characterize Biden and the Democrats as 'conservative' or assertions that they don't have policy platforms except 'we're not the Republicans.' Such commentary sounds intelligent but only in the way Libertarian commentary sounds intelligent: you have to not think critically at all to some to such absurd conclusions. Democrats are working within a broken system and doing the best they can. You wanna fix the system? Great, I'm onboard, but smearing the only people trying to help is not going to get you anywhere.

Another zine cover by Suzan Lovett, an AU of Avon and Servalan.

Reblog if you’re 30 or older

This is an experiment to see if there really are as few of us as people think.You can also use this to freak out your followers who think you’re 25 or something. Yay!

Don't you love fans? I do! I love them so much. Who would have thought to cross over The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Escape From New York? And yet, someone has, because fans can think of everything. Solo and Snake, omg.
