In Malta's embrace I temporarily reside,
A foreign land where fate has chosen to guide,
I meet siblings anew, from Adam's tree we stem,
United in heritage, our bond begins to gem.
Oh, Malta, be gentle with me, I pray,
For fragile I am, like a leaf blown away,
Yet I bring tidings of peace and love to share,
A message of hope, to show we truly care.
This new home of mine, it stole my heart away,
With its warm smiles and open arms, it welcomes me to stay,
I'm enchanted by its charm, its beauty and its grace,
And I'm eager to make it a happier place.
I love to spread joy, to put smiles on each face,
To bring a spark of happiness to this peaceful place,
With every step, with every word, with every deed,
I aim to leave a trace of love, a seed to plant and feed.
Malta, dear Malta, I'm grateful for this stay,
A chance to connect, in a world far away,
With siblings I never knew, now friends so dear,
Together we'll cherish, this moment so clear.
So let your gentle breeze, and your calm blue sea,
Enfold me in peace, and set my soul free,
For in your warmth, I find solace and rest,
A sense of belonging, in this foreign nest.
With love, I'll make this place my own,
And fill each heart with joy, and every face with a smile known until the last good bye.
I ave come to keep memories, to learn, nd to impact. Together we shall grow in our hall of fame.

2023 The Year of Women and Fridging
2023 was an incredible year for women in film. Between Beyonce and Taylor’s concert movies, Barbie and 1 single woman getting nominated for best director at the Oscars there was a lot to celebrate. But just like with anything the universe seeks balance and in 2023 we nerds also experienced something on page and screen that we should have evolved out of decades ago. In the year of Barbie we had not 1, but 2 incidents of fridging in the comic book universe. Both came from Marvel and both are inexcusable. I would love to celebrate how far representation in this field has come, really I would. But I can not do that if we are still making the same mistakes. I am not going to celebrate that there is now less sexual assault in comics. I am not going to celebrate that fridging is less common. I am not going to celebrate that women are infantilized less often in comics. I will not celebrate less. Not in 2024 when every grown person on the planet should know better. I will not be celebrating less. I will celebrate when women are ALWAYS treated like human beings, fictional or not.
