#it's all gotta come down

[switchscene]

OH MY GOD THIS IS ONE OF MY PERSONAL BATTLES

I live in a small town in southeast Georgia. I say Jacksonville all the time cause we're always fuckin down there but truthfully the Ditch is in Georgia.

And our town has a dirty little secret: we have four Superfund sites.

Now if you're not in the know, you might not know what that is. A Superfund site is a location designated by the US government where there has been severe contamination by toxic industrial waste. The idea is that the polluter pays the cleanup fees and site maintenance, and anything they can't pay comes from a trust called the Superfund, managed by the EPA. In the 80s this was funded by excise taxes on oil companies and other industrial polluters, but in 1995, Congress didn't renew that tax and now of course it's shouldered by you, the taxpayer.

The thing is that companies are notorious for just disappearing and restructuring to avoid this. A local company lost hundreds of barrels of liquid mercury here in town, said they were doing a cleanup operation, and restructured in the middle of it. The "new" company was like "yeah actually we have no record of where *any* of that mercury is."

Another company in town used to process pine oil for industrial stuff like cleaners. When the company downsized their lot in the 70s due to an accident, they sold the parts they weren't going to use. Public housing was built on top of them and it's not communicated to the section 8 folks who get housed there. That whole side of town also has a higher historical rate of uterine cancer than the rest of the county.

Still a third location, that used to be an actual toxic waste landfill, is actually in what's now the commercial center of the town, near where the Walmart is. They fenced off the waste disposal field and put up a "no trespassing keep out" sign, but it doesn't inform the neighborhood right next to it what you're keeping out of. Eventually they put a hill on top of part of the site and sold it, and built a car dealership on top of it, I'm sure that's healthy for the employees.

The fourth is out in the salt marsh, where it's wreaked untold environmental damage. The effects are still being studied and everyone who's outdoorsy here knows not to eat the fish in Turtle River.

Corporations are almost never held accountable for the ways in which they destroy our land, and often it's at your expense. Please do research on your city and what kind of stuff they're keeping from you because a company paid them to.

call me a dirty communist radical but I think everyone should know if they live near toxic waste

Just thinking about s4 but when Alpha!Eddie grabs Steve to shove the bottle against his neck, he doesn't realize Steve is an omega and accidentally scruffs him. And Steve is just boneless, kinda goes down. And Eddie isn't expecting deadweight and almost falls ontop of Steve but realizes what's happening (let's just say he's fought off a few bullies who scruffed members of his pack). He immediately drops the bottle and holds onto Steve, who tries to scent Eddie. Just shoves his face into Eddie's neck and nuzzles it, lets out a purr unintentionally.

Idk who needs to hear this but time and time again isn't over!!!

Webtoon removed the "time and time again will return!!!" Banner and I don't know why, but it's not over!!! There's still another 1/3 of the comic to go! There's a lot more stuff that I'm working on and it'll be coming back soon!

Please be patient with me, I know it's been a long time... But the stuff I'm making is really good and there's a lot of reasons it's taken this long. I promise I want it back more than anyone.

I'm trying to come back around the end of October. I'm doing my best to get everything ready in time, so no promises, but I'm on track to do so! I'm just one person writing and drawing everything, and my editor was fired so I'm not even getting any notes anymore. It's literally just me. I'm doing my best I promise!

a lot of comic art would benefit from sticking to the flatcolors

Sugishita: IM FUCKING DISAPPOINTED IN YOU. I LEFT IT ALL UP TO YOU WHY ARE YOU PUSHING THIS ON EVERYONE ELSE

Sakura: a

Regular reminder that sudden and severe weight loss is a pretty serious sign that something is very, very wrong

thinkin bout magneto's lil list of aliases from that One Shot of his government file or w/e in 97 and how it lists the three main men who've played him (David Hemblen, Ian McKellen, Michael Fassbender) and kinda cackling at the idea 1.) if they included All his names 2.) having 'michael' on that list twice
