Friendly reminder that “ANTIFA” is short for “anti-fascism.” Fascism is a form of authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition. Y’know, the opposite of freedom, liberty, and independence. Fascism is a bad thing. Fight it.

Fuck white supremacy and fuck all the cowards and scumbags who’d rather “yeah, but” “what about” and “actually” the idea than practice the most basic human empathy. Listen to and amplify marginalized voices. If this concept bothers you, you’re part of the problem.

In 2004, I tried to kill myself because I "couldn't do anything right." Thankfully, suicide was yet another thing I couldn't do right. I still suffer from depression, but I've got a mantra: "if you're going through Hell, keep going." Keep going. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

Guardians of the Galaxy is such a phenomenally endearing, gorgeous game. It's got some Telltale and Bioware game DNA, but a Deus Ex level of detail and a sense of humor we don't see often enough from AAA projects. Plus, Dazzler and Chewbacca are in it, sort of.

I’ve been saying it since Iron Man 2, but Marvel movies aren’t “movies” in a conventional sense. They’re big-budget serials. The MCU is the most expensive and ambitious TV show in history, just without the TV part, and that’s fine! But they don’t work as standalone films anymore.
