Marvel picked MY fucking short story, "Lost Cause," to be the official excerpt for the updated announcement of the Captain America: The Shield of Sam Wilson anthology.
No, really, look: https://www.marvel.com/articles/culture-lifestyle/captain-america-the-shield-of-sam-wilson-features-original-short-stories-excerpt-cover
I'm fucking shocked they picked mine. What a tremendous honor to represent our boy. <3
On the off chance someone cares, info below!
As a Black man in America, Sam Wilson knows he has to be twice as good to get half as much credit. He must be a paragon of virtue for a nation that has mixed feelings towards him. In these thirteen brand-new stories, the all-new Captain America must thwart an insurrectionist plot, travel back in time, foil a racist conspiracy, and save the world over and over again.
As the Falcon, Sam Wilson was the first African American super hero in mainstream comic books. Sam’s trials and tribulations reflect the struggles many Black Americans go through today, as Sam balances fighting supervillains and saving the world with the difficulties of being the first Black Captain America. This action-packed anthology inspired by the Marvel comic book universe, will see Sam team up with familiar friends like Steve Rogers, Redwing and Nomad, while fighting HYDRA, Sabretooth, Kingpin, and other infamous villains.
These are stories of death-defying courage, Black love and self-discovery. These are the stories of a super hero learning what it means to be a symbol. These are the stories of Sam Wilson.
Release date: January 14, 2025

And can I pretty please get some notes? PWEASE? Struggling indie black author here, just saying.
Hey, does anyone have some good playlists for Knuckles the echidna? Like what music would he listen to?
I cannot believe there's absolutely no way to watch free shows and movies anymore, there are too many paid streaming platforms and pirating websites have viruses and ads preventing you from watching it uninterrupted((.)) id rather follow the rules and purchase media moving forward because it is too inconvenient. Seriously, free and no ads or viruses with 1080p streaming is DEAD.
at least I think that's all of it
I love them so much I can't believe Sonic 3 is real <3
Optimus prime becomes a western highway ghost story.
If you’re driving in the dead of night along those long stretches of highway in the western US you might just encounter a lone big rig who will drive along side you for miles. The truckers will blow their horns as they recognize his custom paint and trailer the truck will slow its steady speed to match them. Those truckers with cbs say that there’s someone to talk to in there but he seams sad and lonely. No one ever sees him stop. Some say he’s an angel who will lead rescue workers to crashes at the dead of night. Those unfortunate enough to wander the highways at night tell story’s of the truck that stopped and got them somewhere warm and safe for the night only to wake in the morning with large sums of money in there pockets and a small note apologizing for the low sum. Children and parents smile as he always honks his horn when asked. The people of the western highways know when you see big red you’re always taken care of no matter who you are or where you came from.
yeah
and ofc the REN ones bc im me<33
Me trying to explain yuuji being someone who was alone since birth with both his parents gone and his grandpa being of poor health and eventually admitted to the hospital which meant he was the only one in the house for a long while and him having no actual close friends in his old high school and saying he's a guy who gets lonely really easily and wants to die surrounded by loved ones, and megumi refusing to leave his side after Shibuya even when he knew his life was in immediate danger despite yuuji's instance to get away from him
I occasionally see people talk about Megumi being hyper-independent due to being neglected as a child (though I could stand to hear about it more) but I rarely ever hear about Yuji's independence.
We have no idea how early he lost his parents. At the start of the show, we assume he lives alone at 15 because his only legal guardian is in hospital. It would be safe to assume Yuji spent a lot of his teens looking after himself and his grandpa. He's fairly popular, but he doesn't have any close friends. After his last family member died, no one aunt, cousin, or friend checked in on him. In fact, he was the one to go bring flowers to his friend.
In retrospect, his determination to make friends before he dies makes a lot of sense. Yuji is an incredibly lonely person. No wonder the people he met at Jujutsu High meant a lot to him. No wonder he killed himself in order to save Megumi, who he'd only known for 3 weeks but was probably his closest friend. No wonder that he was unphased when Gojo told him he'd have to die.
I was wondering where you read sctar? And is it English or Korean?
the s-classes that i raised, aka sctir, is in korean, but there are english translations!
i read chapters 1-132 in english here!
you can also DM me on discord (wei#0383 I AM NOW @sctir ON DISCORD AS WELL) for the epub file of these chapters which i compiled and edited!
you can read up to chapter 270 in edited machine translation by sending an ask to the SFS translators, with updates on Tuesdays.
dbgdbw has translated chapter 183-ongoing, as well as some miscellaneous chapters. they're up to chapter 245, + multiple extras!
here is the full list of their translated chapters.
you can find the unedited machine-translated chapters here; it appears to have been paused at ch 737, and naturally won't be as well translated as the previous source.
there's also a webtoon, which has gorgeous art and multiple characterization discrepancies (lol). you can find the official translation here, and asurascans's translation here (further along at chapter 100).
extra: translation of a webtoon bonus episode!

I'm trying to write a post about tick safety and avoiding tick bites, but a lot of the info on websites is like "Avoid going in the woods, in plants, and where there are wild animals" and "Activities like hiking and gardening can put you at risk" and I'm like thanks! This is worthless!
As ticks and tick borne illnesses are expanding their range, I think it's important for people to be educated about these things, and I think it's especially important to give people actual advice on how to protect themselves instead of telling them to just...avoid the natural world
Rough draft version of Tick Advice:
Ticks don't jump down on you from trees, they get on you when you brush against grass, brush, bushes etc.
Ticks get brought to an area when they get done feeding from an animal and fall off them. In the USA, the main tick-bringing animal is deer, but I've seen plenty ticks on feral cats and songbirds.
Ticks get killed when they dry out so drier areas with more sunlight are less favorable to ticks.
The above is useful for figuring out whether an area is likely to have lots of ticks, and how vigilant you have to be in that area.
Wear light-colored, long pants outside. Tuck your pants into your socks, and tuck your shirt into the waist of your pants. Invest in light, breathable fabrics idc
IMMEDIATELY change out of your outside clothes when you come back from a tick-prone area, wash them, and dry them on high heat to kill any ticks that might be stuck on.
Shower and check yourself for ticks after coming inside. Hair, armpits, and nether regions in particular. You can use a handheld mirror or rely on touch; an attached tick will feel like a bump kinda like a scab
While you're outside, you can just periodically check for ticks by running your hands down your legs and checking visually to see if anything is crawling on your clothes. Light colors make them easy to spot, and they don't move fast.
Combing through each others' hair to check for creepy crawly critters is a time-honored primate ritual and is not weird. When hiking, bring a friend who will have your back when you feel something on your neck and need to know if it's sweat or a tick
If you're careful, you can usually catch ticks before they bite you, but if one does bite you, it's not the end of the world. Since tickborne diseases are different regionally i suspect this advice will differ based on where you are, but the important thing is remove the tick with tweezers (DON'T use butter, a lit match, or anything that kills the tick while it's still attached, please) and contact a doctor to see what to watch for. Most illnesses you can catch from ticks are easily treatable if you recognize them when symptoms first appear
