Royal Dansk Danish Butter Cookies
A Tale of Buttery Delights
An ocean blue ushering in a pride so royally
The charming tin already pleases my eyes immensely
Unveil the lid to find cookies arranged very neatly
This shape and that, like graceful ladies all look lovely
The plain ones humble themselves quietly
Yielding the glory to the swirly ones - way more buttery
Dazzles of crystalized sugar adorn the pretzel-shapes
A sweet angle must have come for splendid displays
Coconut flavors subtly yet deliberately seduce
May suddenly capture your attention until you subdue
I feel terrible about the rectangular ones
Failed to win my heart with your one-sided love too stubborn
Not born as a royal still enjoying the Danish delights
Dreaming of myself as a princess having tea with charming knights

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.
