"Today. Tomorrow." a Superman fan comic about Clark Kent, Lois Lane and relationships.
We wanted to tackle one of the trickiest parts of Superman mythos; and that's the entangled romance between Clark Kent, Lana Lang, Lois Lane and Superman. Often times these more mundane parts of Superman get pushed to the side, when they can give so much insight into the characters and what they're seeking from each other.
Most writers talk about being the writer that barely writes. Most artists talk about being the artist that barely creates anything. It seems like a joke or a badge of honor or some artificial form of profundity as "quality over quantity" when, in reality, it exposes a serious problem when it comes to creativity as a whole.
We get that people enter a slump sometimes, that great ideas are hard to come by and even harder to execute. However, creativity itself is abundant and comes from a state of ease and flow. If creativity is difficult to inspire in your life that means you're at a state of dis-ease and tension, and you need to relax.
Yes, sometimes pain and stress can create something beautiful. However, destroying yourself for the sake of being creative is never the way to go. That only works in the story, not in real life. In real life, you need to be in a state of ease, a state of flow and harmony so creativity can flow through you effortlessly.
If you're constantly stressed and worried about real life problems and always in survival mode, you will almost never find it easy to be creative. Yes, your story will make a great story but only after you've gone through it and can look back in hindsight. Not while you're in it on the brink of death.
If you want to be more creative and establish better flow as a writer and artist, you need to find ways to ease your mind and body. Take care of yourself because mind, body, and soul are all one. When one is lacking, so are the others. When two are lacking, you can't really partake in higher forms of leisure, can you?
For all the writers that barely write, the artists that barely create, we implore you to find ways to put yourself at ease in mind, body, and soul without destroying yourself as it is only a tranquil mind, nourished body, and content soul that can access the abundance of creativity and keep its waters flowing eternally.
Hope this helps.
Keep Writing. . .

Read the poem and couldnt not do a little something about it !
There's a really conceptually interesting beat in World War Z, during one of the later Todd Waino sections, where Waino is discussing that the problem with trying to use land mines to fight zombies is that the point of a landmine isn't necessarily to kill the enemy, it's to control their movement because they're aware of the possibility of land mines, it's to hurt them, it's to turn a soldier into a living-but-crippled drain on the medical system of the enemy nation and a morale drain when he goes home to his parents without legs. And, of course, since absolutely none of those head games or logistical concerns are applicable to zombies, the best case scenario is that you create a bunch of legless zombies that are harder to notice until they're underfoot, and the worst case scenario is that you blow up your own guys on accident because the documentation on where you put the landmines while running away from all the zombies wasn't very good. And all of this is part of the book's continual concern with how there's this two-faced idea in war, where you dehumanize an enemy against whom none of your tactics would be remotely effective if they actually were the unthinking evil automaton you're hyping them up as. That's fine. But at the end of it all I'm left in an uncomfortable position where I'm not really sure if Max "lectures at West Point" Brooks recognizes the moral horror of what he's describing, or if he thinks that Landmines are a clever idea that're just inappropriate in this specific context. A lot of the book falls in that uncanny valley for me.

Apparently 2025 is going to be the year of Vic Michaelis stealing all of their coworkers' wives. Just picking them off one by one.
gotta be honest with you, i'm not too sure about this thing ppl say of "conservatives" being irrationally opposed to "trans people just existing" or whatever. i guess controversial take but no they actually have very concrete reasons to oppose bodily autonomy and the destabilization of sexual roles we represent considering their views on sex/gender and social reproduction overall actually. obviously we must oppose those views as they are 1. wrong and 2. oppressive but like. it's not like they just chose a random minority to hate. i mean otherwise why do you think it's specifically us.
harry dubois would end death note in one episode. he'd be unkillable bc he has no fucking idea what his name is and then he'd go drink driving and accidentally run light over and the killings would mysteriously stop
