Way too many people in my country are cool with this being a chargeable offence. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/six-charged-prohibited-processions-assemblies-637154109 Sep 2026 11:52 +0000at://did:plc:fi2vmc5kfbrlsvglhvpf5dcy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mv3hy2qhac27https://bsky.app/profile/waynereewrites.com/post/3mv2v35a4g22wDeena Mohamed's YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND, or SHUBEIK LUBEIK, is such a beautifully crafted, incredibly rich book. If you haven't read it, I urge you to get yourself a copy.

I enjoy Massive Attack and Garbage's music even more now knowing that they're both unwaveringly and loudly against genocide.08 Sep 2026 04:08 +0000at://did:plc:fi2vmc5kfbrlsvglhvpf5dcy/app.bsky.feed.post/3muy5mb62u227https://bsky.app/profile/waynereewrites.com/post/3muvsahjqg227I can't speak about Garth Ennis, but let me tell you about the sweetheart that is Glenn Fabry. (And, yes, I've told this story before, but what the heck.) I was invited to the guest creators' dinner at Singapore Comic Con a few years ago, where I sat next to Glenn.

I wish I had sooner, but hey, it's never too late to celebrate a man who's brought so much joy into the world.

WORK-LIFE BALANCE is a prose/comics hybrid. It's about a multinational corporation run by demons that comes to Singapore and puts the local creatures and spirits out of work. https://waynereewrites.com/work-life-balance/ [contains quote post or other embedded content]06 Sep 2026 09:12 +0000at://did:plc:fi2vmc5kfbrlsvglhvpf5dcy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mutnn5f5wk2chttps://bsky.app/profile/waynereewrites.com/post/3mutda4o4ic2cRe-reading the first volume of ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER before I dive into volume two.
