Spider-Man Unlimited Infinity Comic (2023) #35
oh hey i wrote that <3
An option featuring a change of literally any kind to Lúthien not included as presumably even the mere suggestion would be catastrophic, overloading energy grids worldwide and resulting in months-long blackouts.
my favourite thing about this poll is the the current winners are the thing his bestie did intentionally to give him a stroke and the thing he did HIMSELF so that his characters could undo it
My first Spider-Boy issue is live on Marvel Unlimited today! It's the first comic listed under today's releases on the app <3

OH HI i get to talk Arthuriana with @runwithskizzers and Lex Croucher and Loyalty Bookstores, gonna be FUN FUN FUN (and very nerdy) — all info at loyaltybookstores.com/gwenandart
This is gonna be fun! Come hang with us!
KOSA has been delayed! It's not for too long, just until January. But this gives us more time to continue sending emails and calling. ITS WORKING! KEEP CALLING! KEEP EMAILING!
(I was alerted of this because I'm on Fight for the Future's email list)
Here's the link to continue the fight!:
And, critically, the reason that it is being delayed for a month is that Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), changed her mind on it. In November, she was not just going to vote yes but trying to get it fast-tracked. Last week, she admitted there were queerphobic problems with the bill that needed to be fixed before it could move forward.
Why do you think she's trying to fix it now? Probably because she's gotten a lot of pressure and phone calls on the subject.
This is great! It's progress in the right direction. Next step: continue the phone calls and letters, pointing out that the bill as written does nothing to protect kids, and there is no way to make a bill like it that doesn't harm LGBTQ+ folks (because the bill's sponsors have admitted that the whole POINT of it is to let them censor LGBTQ+ people) and also no way to make a bill like it that doesn't invade peoples' privacy.
So yeah. Call your senators, or write them. The EFF has resources and talking points, and if you can put them in your own words that makes you more likely to be listened to.
This is unspeakably important. Don't sleep on this.
One of the letters to Sen. Cantwell came from me, since I'm one of her constituents.
But please, contact your own senators, United Statesians!
I went back through Harry's video, focused entirely on the sources James Somerton pulled from in the hopes of creating as much of a comprehensive list as I could--though my Google-Fu is not very strong. I did however find something I thought was forever lost and that made me very happy--specifically the magazine Midlands Zone containing the column by Steven Spinks that Harry poignantly used as an illustration of gay erasure... while Somerton uses it to sound like HE is waxing remorseful about the very subject.
This is not a complete list, I'm sure. For one thing, I was only able to attempt to pull sources that Harry himself mentioned in the video. Surely there's so very much more out there. I expect there to be a great deal more internet archeology to unearth just how much writing and culture Somerton has stolen like he's the British Museum of Natural History but for gay people.

Harry created a convenient playlist of videos by these and other people he wants to bring to everyone's attention.
Please give them your support.

After a great deal of searching, I found an archive of the "Midlands Zone" magazine, where you can read through past issues dating all the way back to February 2014. I have also found the issue from which Somerton took Spinks' poignant discussion of gay erasure: Overall archive Specific Issue - Pages 16-17
It will not allow you to download it, but you can read it exactly as it appeared in print form.

I refrained from including certain sources.
First off only focusing on Somerton's work.
Secondly not including anything that might be visible enough to not require amplifying their voice (I cannot speak for all of those I have found links to, but journalism is frequently a thankless job).
Thirdly any source that is of a nature that is antithetical to the very existence of the queer community, such as the right-leaning source that didn't make it into Somerton's video, but Harry was able to identify as a source he had considered using.
If you feel I have missed a mentioned source--or you know of a source from material that was not covered in Harry's video--please do not hesitate to reblog with added details.
