    I am learning a lot from you about comics. I didn't know that Daredevil is a tortured Catholic.
    And you definitely sold me on Blindsight, although I'm usually not into hard sci-fi.
    Fashion wise I prefer your shirts with the great patterns. 😂

      Haha yes, Daredevil is the quintessential self loathing Catholic.
      Blindsight is SO good. So good. The science in it was all really interesting to me.
      Haha yeah, I wasn’t paying much attention to what I was wearing :)

    Raise a beer - you don’t even drink beer!
    I really loved V for Vendetta as a movie.
    Blindsight sounds amazing. Steve D says B Sanderson is the PKD of 2023.
    I’m getting a comic education from you. 😊😊

      It was a shirt from the Fort Mac wildfire when they were helping to raise money for the community.
      Sanderson being the PKD of 2023 sounds like a pejorative to me… PKD was not a very good writer, at least from what I’ve read, but had some neat ideas. Sanderson hasn’t had any original ideas in any of the books I’ve tried of his.

    I've heard such good things about Billy-Ray Belcourt. A Minor Chorus sounds interesting!

      It was really great! You are more versed in poetry than me too, so I expected you’d get on with all of his stuff, including this, more than me, even.

    I had forgotten about Vinland Saga. According to Goodreads I read vol 1 omnibus in 2016 and gave it 4 stars. Didn’t go further… but it’s not unusual for me to not continue even when I like the first part of a series.
    I like what you said about Minor Chorus. The more I thought about it, the more I loved it. The MC’s life could easily have turned out like his cousin’s, or like the older closeted guy, if he had made different choices.

      Yes the confluence of choices that led him to where he was, and that observation coming from someone who watched their agency slip away from them and ended up in prison, was really well observed.
