I Saw Some Angry Tweets Today, So Ive Sketched What I Think About Pitching Women Against Each Other.

I saw some angry tweets today, so I’ve sketched what I think about pitching women against each other.

Those two would get along pretty well.

I have never been moved to tears like this before. Please watch this in its entirety. Truly a masterpiece and a walk down the path we started 10 years ago.

So the only all-bird rehab center in North Texas is about to shut down

I can’t even put into words how upset I am about this. Rogers Wildlife Rehabilitation has been open for almost twenty years, and is the only place in North Texas that takes in literally any type of bird if it’s been injured, orphaned, or otherwise incapacitated. They’re finally out of funds, and if they can’t come up with anything by April 2nd, they’re going to be forced to close their doors.

They’ve never turned away birds. Not when it’s a surprise 200 baby cattle egrets that’ve been orphaned because city planners thought they could cut down their homes and no one would notice. Not when it’s raptors with one good eye and in need of seven different antibiotics. Not even when it’s ducks that irresponsible parents won’t let their kids keep after easter. This is where anyone let me first get up close to birds. I mean, I’ve known I wanted to work with birds and wildlife since I was seven- I’m twenty four now, and halfway through an environmental science master’s and it’s a big reason I kept going.

I’ve been going to this place on and off for ten years, I was THIRTEEN when I started volunteering and seeing all the terrible things that happen to the birds that come in. Not just…hit by trucks, or caught in a hailstorm but parrots that have been left in foreclosed houses for weeks, and roosters that have come out of cock fighting rings and would otherwise be put down because the SPCA and humane societies don’t think they’re salvageable. There’s an emu that was raised there as a baby because no one wanted her. Her name’s Riley and I can’t even begin to comprehend what shutting the doors to the center would mean?

They don’t get government aid. They’ve been funded by the public donating and Kathy, the lady who owns the place, going through her retirement funds and savings and her social security to keep it running. She’s finally run out of money. Please,  just reblog? Even if you can’t donate anything- and I know it’s a lot to ask for poor teenage/college kids to donate money that they don’t have, or struggling artists I know but maybe someone who can spare something will see it eventually? They need $200,000 to keep open for a year to continue to help 4000 birds a year.

I agree with all this.  I would also add how much something similar to this sticks out in my mind in IM2, and I find quite interesting in the wake of Stane: Justin Hammer.  Granted, he’s a wannabe in a lot of senses, and I think he is in this sense too.  He uses Tony’s name a lot, even tries to gain control over him in conversation by using “Anthony”, and the touching.  That always bothered me in the first part of IM2, and now I see it more strongly as the same vibe that came from Stane.  Hammer wants to get into a position with Tony like Obadiah had, and you see Tony is Not Having It.  I wouldn’t be surprised if part of Tony’s reaction isn’t just “Ew, Hammer, NO”, but also unconscious or direct memories of Obadiah.  The differences between Hammer and Stane are finesse, practice and opportunity.

That scene in iron man where Obadiah stane is buttoning up Tony’s shirt (after he shows him the arc reactor) gives me the creep

“My name is Mark Waid. I’m a New York Times-bestselling comics writer. In September of this year, I was sued by one of the perceived leaders of a relentless online harassment movement called “ComicsGate” which I and many comics professionals strongly feel has unfairly and offensively targeted women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ creators working in our industry in an effort to make them feel unwelcome. I firmly believe this lawsuit is an effort to silence those of us who stand up publicly against bigotry and racism and who continue to defend diverse creators from harassment.

Even though I am confident that the claims made against me are entirely without merit, lawsuits are time-consuming and very expensive. Still, I have never backed down from bullies, especially those who denigrate my friends, colleagues and the values our community stands for, and while I am not a rich man, you have my solemn promise that I will fight this fight no matter the personal cost.

But I’m going to need your help.

If you believe, as I do, that women and people of color deserve to be able to do their jobs—or any job—without being bullied, donate. Stand with me. If you believe that someone’s gender or sexual preference should have no bearing on the career they pursue, donate. Send that message.

This isn’t just about me; it’s about standing together in the face of bullying. Every day that we don’t push back against online harassment, it only becomes nastier and more powerful.

This is an important fight. Thank you for having my back.”

    Please consider contributing, if you are able. Mark Waid is being targeted by a hate group that has infected the comics community in recent years. Whether or not you’re a fan of Mr. Waid’s work (which we very much are), this is despicable and wrong, and any bit of support helps!
