That’s certainly a spicy headline, isn’t it? This is just a quick post, to formalize my support of Cirsova’s statement on the matter, which you can read over at his website. SFWA’s open endorsement of the violent Black Lives Matter organization makes this very easy to do. This doesn’t even take into account the support…
I guess the title makes things pretty clear from the outset, doesn’t it? As a company, Wizards of the Coast is dead to me. It’s been coming for a while now, but around last week was where it all solidified, and I’ve determined to no longer buy any sealed product from them. (With maybe a…
Now, I’ve talked a bit about this nonsense before, so I’m not going to spend too much time talking about why the whole campaign for “representation” in fiction is stupid. In brief, anyone who feels some sort of personal need for characters who look like them is pathetic. All that should matter in fiction is if…
Unless you’ve been living under a very large rock, or literally out in space, you’re aware that it’s been a rather… interest year, between the pandemic, the current riots, and other things. Now, while there have certainly been some inconveniences for me over these past several months, it’s been a super productive year, writing-wise. A…
A little while ago, David V. Stewart made a solid blog post about the concept of being “apolitical,” and I had something to add to it. Namely, beware people who use their alleged “apolitical” nature as a virtue. You see, as David pointed out in his post, being truly Apolitical is all-but impossible. Just the…
Been a little longer than I would’ve liked, but now we’re back with Girls Und Panzer Episode 9: “We’re in Deep Trouble!” We don’t pick up right where we left off—not quite. We’re treated to a little flashback to explain the revelation we got at the end of last episode. The Student Copuncil is meeting…
The end draws near! For anyone who didn’t see it yesterday, the Kickstarter campaign for the seventh and final book in the Galaxy Ascendant series is live! In A Worthy Sacrifice, our heroes face one last desperate struggle to prevent an enemy they had not prepared for from undoing all their hard-won victories. Everyone must give their all,…
Barreling toward the end of the season, but we’ve still got a few episodes left, starting with this one: Up Against Pravda! We pick up aboard a ship we’ve not seen before, sailing somewhere cold enough that there’s tons of ice in the ocean around it. This is the Pravda schoolship, as you might’ve guessed…
Well, I was originally going to wait a bit longer for this, but Yom Ha’atzmaut seemed like a pretty appropriate time. Today we celebrated the re-establishment of the state of Israel, which played a major role in ushering in a new era for the Jewish people, and revived the image of the fighting Jew, something…
It’s been a weird year, hasn’t it? I don’t think I need to go into detail as to why; if you’re not aware, you must’ve been such a shut-in before Coronavirus that the lockdowns mean nothing to you. The irony isn’t lost on me that we here in Israel are all spending the 72nd Independence…
After another delay (partly due to current events, partly my own fault), let’s get into episode 7 (Anzio is Next!) This is one that I remembered less well than others, as it’s a rare episode without much tank action in it (those epic moments are those that tend to be easiest to recall). However, this…
I know there are arguably bigger things in the news right now, but the big news of today is that book 6 in the Galaxy Ascendant series, An Ancient Stirring, is now live on Amazon! (Currently just in ebook format; G-d willing the print version will be up soon; it depends on how long it takes for a…
Been a little while since the last one of these, but I’m glad to be back to finish off Oarai’s first tournament battle. However, I should note that since these posts take some time to put together (they’re rather long, as you can see, and taking the screenshots only adds more time to the tally),…
In the latest instance of forces conspiring against right-wing creators, bestselling author Jon Del Arroz’s Kickstarter campaign for his Dynamite Thor comic has been shadowbanned on Kickstarter, and google. Searching for the campaign by its name, or by Jon’s name, on the site won’t bring it up. You need the direct link. It doesn’t appear…
After a bit of a delay, it’s time to get back to my look at Girls Und Panzer! Just a quick note, I do definitely plan on having other stuff here too. Got another couple posts lined up hopefully for this week. As fun as this series continues to be, I’m not going to turn this…
