I’m pleased to finally present the big project I’ve been dying to reveal: the cover for a Polaris 50th anniversary minicomic!
I’ve commissioned Mlad for what will be multiple pages of what I think captures her history and core nature. The minicomic will be released as each page is completed over the course of the next several months.
I hope you all enjoy this and what’s to come as much as I have and will!
Since nobody else has posted it (at least that I’m aware of), @lordtimeblogposts informed me of this variant cover for Amazing Spider-Man #10.
If you’re not aware, what’s depicted up top is Lorna from New X-Men #132. This is a huge deal for me, personally, in a good way, because it’s the first time in nearly 10 years that Marvel’s acknowledging what happened to Lorna on Genosha. To me, this part of Lorna’s history is essential to understanding and valuing Lorna as her own character. It’s the biggest trauma she’s ever had, and it led to some of her most defining and moving moments.
a lot of my friends have been noting that none of the “get out there and vote!” posts actually have any resources attached to them, so they’re great for motivation but if you don’t know how to vote they can really stress you out. so i compiled a list of resources that hopefully can help!
Here’s the most confusing bit! Figuring out who you’re voting for. Don’t know who’s running? Ballotpedia is a godsend. The page in the link looks very confusing, but all you have to do is click your state in each of the right-hand boxes. Those will take you to a page that will explain who from each party is running for the Senate and the House. Ballotpedia will also tell you if your state has same-day voter registration. If you’ve missed the cutoff to register, you might still be able to do it on election day, so check that on your state’s voting page!
Polling places can be crowded and the wait can be long to vote. Don’t freak out! Bring a book or some music/podcasts to listen to while you wait.
If you can’t make it on the day, you still have options! Find your state on this Ballotpedia page and click to learn more. The page it takes you to will have links and information on how to get an absentee ballot in your state. If you plan on absentee voting, hurry! The deadlines to apply and vote are usually sooner than the actual election day.
Most of all, remember: this election could swing the house and the senate, giving Democrats more control over new laws and legislation for years to come. You’re not a bad person if you can’t vote, but it’s a lot easier than you might think!
Do not just assume that the Democrats are going to win…the only way we can GUARANTEE that the Democrats make gains in these midterms is for people to go out and vote
Whatever the polls say, get out there and vote democrat, whereever you are
Do not just assume that they’ll “Definitely win” and so it doesn’t matter if you go out and vote or not
Our elections are rife with voter suppression on multiple fronts. Voter ID laws, voter roll purges, shutting down of polling places in areas where voters are primarily Democrat, some early voting not getting processed because of supposed “mistakes.” None of that is even factoring in gerrymandering.
Every vote is important for this election. In a fair and proper system, Democrats would win in a landslide. But the system has been rigged. The only solution within the bounds of the system is to have such an overwhelming number of votes that either we beat the rigging, or it’s too obvious how rigged the system is for Republicans to maintain their narrative.
