Imperator
Rae Sloane
They are pioneers in this space. They are the first outside the charted limits of the galaxy. She realized: It can be mine, if only I am willing to take it. Soon, they will be at their destination. And soon, it will be hers to take.

if you ever feel bad about your body remember that Wonder Woman has cellulite too
Whoever is writing this is doing Godâs work
Literally one of the best things I have ever read.Â
Iâm writing about Wondy right now and I adore this.
Iâm so glad that I was able to write a Wonder Woman story for Sensation Comics a while ago. Huge thanks to DC editor Kristy Quinn for believing in me, and to Neil Googe and Len O'Grady for their magnificent art.
What do you think about Bernie still standing and fighting for what he believes whilst Hillary has seemingly vanished from the face of the earth?
1) Bernard is a sitting senator. He doesnât get extra plaudits for doing his job.2) Hillary has been front and centre in politics for 30 years. As a lawyer, as First Lady of Arkansas and then the country, as New York senator and as SecState. From April 2015, she WAS the front line against Trump and all he stood for. She was out there every single day for a year and a half offering a viable, experienced, informed, dedicated and - yes - progressive alternative to Trump. When you ask the question âWhat was this person doing to fight Trump?â, Hillary Rodham Clinton was standing up and saying âPICK ME. IâM 69 AND I WILL FORGO A CALM AND HAPPY RETIREMENT IN ORDER TO SPEND EVERY DAY OF HOPEFULLY THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS OF MY LIFE FIGHTING FOR YOU AGAINST THIS KIND OF BULLSHIT. PICK ME. IâM READY. IâM WILLING. PLEASE.âAnd what did she get for it? The same patronising, sexist bullshit she got the 30 years prior. A primary opponent who falsely introduced an entire generation to her as âThe Goldman Sachs Ladyâ. A legion of âconcerned liberalsâ in key swing states voting for Jill Fucking Stein in numbers that made up the vote-difference and more. Twitter Eggs and Facebook Bros saying âSheâs just as bad if not worse than Trump.â WORSE THAN TRUMP. SERIOUSLY. And that wasnât enough. As a final slap in the face, despite winning 3 million more votes than THAT opponent, despite being educated and capable and experienced and diligent and caring and ready, she was denied the office she respected so deeply, (in contrast to the coward who sits in it now), denied the opportunity to serve the country she was willing to sacrifice her Golden Years for on a technicality, through an arcane, archaic system. And just to make sure she wasnât allowed to end this farce with even the faintest shred of dignity, faithless electors stripped her of electoral college votes she DID win, instead voting for the male primary opponent she FAIRLY beat by every democratic metric, a woman who didnât even run for President, and a Republican. Oh, and then be told âBernie would have won.âIf Hillary had been elected, Bernard wouldnât HAVE to be âstill standing and fighting.â Sure, heâd be working. Heâd be doing his damn job. Heâd be making sure the progressive wing of the Democratic party was heard.But would President Hillary Clinton have signed a Muslim ban? Would President Hillary Clinton have moved to repeal the ACA on day one? Would President Hillary Clinton have appointed an Education Secretary who literally hasnât got the first clue about the education system? Would President Hillary Clinton have picked an Attorney General who actively tried to withhold voting rights from Black America? Would President Hillary Clinton have named to her inner circle, and to high-ranking governmental positions, people with strong, evidential ties to hostile foreign powers? The answer to those questions and more would be a resounding âHELL FUCKING NO.â But she was never given the opportunity to prove that. Because she gave a few speeches. And because she sent a few emails. And because her husband was the figurehead of a charitable foundation.So if, as a private citizen, Hillary wants to walk her dogs in the woods for a bit, so she should. Lord knows she earned it. She played her part, and she was burned for it. She deserved better than the vitriol to which she was subjected in the election, and she deserves better than the scorn with which sheâs now treated by people who chose not to tick the box because they wanted to cling to their vain, ill-measured notion of ideological purity. Sheâs not the one who should be paying the price for the fucking godawful cock up swing state voters made.Thank you SO much for asking what Iâm sure you intended to be a purely innocuous question, and my apologies that you got the brunt of my intense frustration - Iâve been holding that inside for rather a long time. It feels good to get it out.Oh. One final thing. Please might I direct your attention to Hillaryâs twitter feed - I think youâll find sheâs far from âvanishedâ.

One of the ways to combat anxiety, I find, is to do things. To be productive, to engage in routine, to be proactive. And, right now, I expect a number of us are feeling very anxious about this elec...

âRax barely exists. Trying to figure out who he is or who he was is an act of grabbing at fog - it dissipates in your hand while still obscuring everything beyond it.â
From Aftermath: Life Debt by Chuck Wending
Erm, Halloween classics, fog and a creepy imperial guy? I sadly botched this drawing while inking, but please believe me these two are excellent characters and itâs such an entertaining read!đ
idk, Winter is coming for Sinjir Rath Velus (from Chuck Wendigâs Aftermath series)

So, you're going to take part in National Novel Writing Month. Good for you. Excellent. As John McClane said in Die Hard: "Welcome to the Party, pal." Here, then, is a list of quick advice nuggets....
List abbreviated with gifs below: (read the damn article though) Italic additions mine.
1. You win when you finish the book.
2. This is the beachstorming draft.
3. Have a schedule.
4. Have a space.
5. The perfect is the enemy of the good.
6. Fuck impostor syndrome.
7. Be aware of tracts of bumpy road.
8. Momentum is your friend.

10. The community is your friend.
11. The community is also your enemy.

Time for another political essay. If youâre not an American citizen or able to vote in this upcoming election, my apologies.
I make no secret that I fucking despise Donald Trump. I actually like Hillary Clinton, which seems to be a weird rarity considering the amount of good work sheâs done and the fact that all of the bad press about her is the result of the Republicans trying (and failing) to tear her and her husband down for thirty years.
Trump is now trailing far behind Clinton, which I consider a cause for celebration. But it is NOT a cause for complacency.
The biggest landslide election in US history was the election of Warren G. Harding in 1920, when Harding won with about 60% of the vote to his opponentâs 34.2%.
Some polls are reporting Trump with as little as 35% of the popular vote right now.
If turnout is large enough and loud enough, we can make Donald Trump the least supported major candidate in US history. Since the recording of him bragging about sexual assault came out, he has turned to dragging the whole election into the mud by striking back at Bill Clintonâs affairs; the usual goal of that kind of tactic is to drive down voter turnout. Trumpâs band of Redcaps is pretty much guaranteed to vote, so they figure if they reduce turnout enough, theyâll win.
I want their plan to fail. I want their plan to fail so fucking spectacularly that NO ONE will dare to run for President on a platform of thinly-veiled fascism again.
The Republicans thought the House of Representatives was safe this year. In 2010, they gerrymandered the shit out of district lines to keep the House safe for them for at least ten years. But thereâs a problem with gerrymandering: if the demographics shift unexpectedly between censuses, then suddenly a lot of districts wind up flipping against the party that the gerrymandering was meant to support. And Donald Trump is driving away the Republicansâ most secure core of voters, the evangelicals. And as Iâve said before: Congress is MORE important than the presidency.
If turnout is strong enough, and if people vote down ballot, the possibility exists for a massive upset. A Democratic presidency, a Democratic House, a Democratic Senate. Theyâre within our grasp. All you need to do, voters, is show up.
Motherfuckers donât want you to vote. Young people, people of color, women, LGBTQ+ folksâthey want you to be scared away, or to be convinced that voting doesnât matter. They want your voice silenced. Donât give the fuckers the satisfaction of letting it happen.
GO VOTE. VOTE DOWN-BALLOT. MAKE TRUMP THE BIGGEST LOSER IN US HISTORY.
IF YOU CANâT BE BOTHERED TO VOTE OUT OF CONVICTION, THEN DO IT OUT OF SPITE.
Americans need to vote ASAP. Donât wait for November. Early vote.
