Dykes to Watch Out For #111 (1991)

Black/Out was a quarterly magazine published by the National Coalition of Black Lesbians and Gays, an activist organization founded in 1978 as a gay men's group but opened up to lesbians in 1984. The NCBLG was notable for its wide roster of practical and material concerns, including queer rights internationally and the issues surrounding queer parenting rights. By 1990 the NCBLG was pretty much done, most of its leadership having drifted away to other groups or out of activism. I'm not actually sure how long Black/Out continued, so Ginger's t-shirt here is a little mysterious!

You can have a look at the first issue of Black/Out here for a taste of how wide-ranging its concerns were.

Sam's Strip (3/5/1962)


You know who the Harlem Globetrotters are and me telling you isn't going to make either of our lives any better. I just looked it up and they were formed in 1926-- way older than I would have guessed.

The joke here may just be that they're wondrous trickster who are good at basketball, but it might nod to their meeting with Nikita Khrushchev in 1959 and being collectively awarded the Athletic Order of Lenin medal. But probably not. In 1976 Henry Kissinger would, ominously, be named an honorary Harlem Globetrotter so you know, maybe they could use a little more timidity after all.

Better to handwave genuine, ongoing real world problems away. Just like we did with all the near-death scrapes in the wildfire story. Don't worry, it won't be seen as insulting and patronizing at all!

The White House released a statement saying the parents of 425 children separated from them, who now cannot be located because of poor record keeping by ICE, actually just didn't want their children so people shouldn't be mad.

But sure, Batuik, ICE is just sooo easy to deal with, why hasn't anyone just called Bill Clinton?

She was the sameish age as everyone else before Mars, but then she jumped ahead to get an MD with a specialisation in natal care, so I think she's like 30 years older than Bambi.

At one point, she time traveled into the future to get some training before they launched into space. Kind of like the end of Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. I don't remember if they ever stated how long she was gone but I think we're supposed to assume she's at least in her fifties at least.

I just had a thought in light of all of these Kellworld strips about taking care of a murder orphan. Does the cultural or culinary equivalent of veal exist in Kellworld? It's clear that, like, after a certain age all non-predators have to live with the constant haunting specter of legally sanctioned murder but is there a minimum age of murder or are there some depraved motherfuckers out there who handle veal jobs and the rest of the world knows that's a possibility and that's fine actually.

I had this happen once when I was in school and working part time at a convenience store. I had asked for a Sunday off about four months in advance and the manager kept telling me to remind her as the date got closer (schedules were made two weeks ahead). She had me working the day I wanted off. I told I was going to take day off regardless. She told me not to come back at all if I did. I ended up trading with another co-worker. The following Friday, I got another job and called her to let her know. She ended up having to take my 5pm-to-midnight shift.

She was fired about two weeks later for some shady payroll-related incident.

I identify a lot with her knowing for several decades that she would need to be the medical support for her own birth in space but putting off preparing for that event right up until it was actually happening. Just procrastination turned up to 12 - she probably spent a few bottle years just teleporting into the past to study for final exams literally as the papers were being handed out.

If you met a time traveler and the two of you hit it off and later you realized that a friend's newborn was the time traveler's past self, why is that concerning and hosed up? It's not significantly more odd than dating a time traveler in the first place.
