The Diaries of a Sozzled Scribbler #25

Transcribed by DMETRI KAKMI

15 February 2021

What follows is a phone conversation with my amanuensis, Dolmio Kukurbit, who is a cis-male and therefore lower down the evolutionary scale than us gender non-conforming people. The fact that he’s also one of those old fashioned homos makes it worse.

I edited out Dolmio’s stupid sissy cis-questions so you only get my words of intersectionalist wisdom.


Hello, is that Dolmio Kukumber?

Dolmio, I’m ringing to tell you I realised I was falling behind the times and becoming kinda like retarded.

What? Oh, it’s redundant? Sorry, yes, that’s what I meant to say. Silly me.

I decided to you know like keep up with the times, so I decided I’m a woman, like every man in the country, right? Because like who wants to be associated with toxic masculinity? Like Meryll Frost said, inside every great man is a grating woman.

What? Oh it’s great woman. Sorry. All the excitement is making me mix up my words.

So aaaanywaaay now that I’m non-conformist woman, I got rid of common sense and any connection to reality and got loads of tats and piercings. And a beard.

What’s that you say? Tats and piercings are symbols of conformity? Why, pray tell? Because everyone has them? Yes, well, you would say that, wouldn’t you, Dolmio?

Stop trying to destabilise my revolutionary fervour. You’re just scared women like me are going to take over the world and turn you into a sperm donor, if there’s any left in you at your age.

So  aaaanywaaay on my journey to becoming a bearded lady, I changed my name.

From now on I want you to address me as Salonge Salieri.

What do you mean it sounds like a drag name? How dare you oppress me with your homophonic assertions.

I don’t care if the correct word is homophobic. Shut up and listen. When the oppressed speak, those in power must listen. They might unlearn something.

So, like I was saying, because I want to challenge the patriarchy and bring down capitalism, I’m going to be a lesbian, too, and start eating carpet. But I haven’t found a good recipe for preparing shaggy rug yet so I’m holding off on that tasty meal.

The message for the world is this:

I’m a lesbian who wants to be addressed as He/Him.

What’s that, Dolmio? Using the pronouns he/him undermines my femininity?

Who are you to tell me what is and isn’t feminine? It sounds like a contradiction in terms, but why should I be limited by outdated gender pronouns that are invented by the patriarchy to control and restrict me and to tell me what I can and can’t be?

This new identity automatically makes me an activists. And like oh my goddess I’m so excited because I’m going to open my own BoobTube channel and… What now!

Oh, it’s YouTube. Sorry… Hee, hee. I made a Fallopian slip of the tongue.

It’s a Freudian slip of the tongue, you say?

Isn’t Freud one of those privileged dead white men who was part of the patriarchal colonialist hegemonic project that oppresses minorities, like white middle-class inner-city people with bad educations, the latest laptops and free wifi wherever they go?

Yeah, nah, I prefer Fallopian because I am woman. It’s all in me. Everything you want done baby, I’ll do it unnaturally. Whoah, whoah, whoah…

Besides there’s nothing wrong with a slip of the tongue in a fallopian tube. If you think there is, you are misogynist.

And you know what? I’m starting to hate you, sitting there mansplaining every thing to me. I don’t want you to correct me when I make a so called ‘mistake’, okay? I don’t care about your good intentions. I’m here to tell you it’s not a mistake. I’m reinventing language and pushing boundaries with my neo-pronouns as a non-binary person. Just ask Michelle Foucault.

Yes, the great French S&M wanker was a woman underneath all those ugly masculine trappings.

Apology not accepted, Dolmio. You are CANCELLED.

I will vilify you and destroy your life on my YouTube channel. Why? Because I’m right and you must agree with me, even when my pronouncements have no basis in reality.

Newsflash: Nowadays feelings trump facts.

What’s that? You want to ask a question? Salonge gives you permission to speak.

Why would a woman want to use the he/him pronoun? It’s none of your business, you revolting attachment to a penis. You just have to obey. That’s all you have to do. Is that too much to ask?

Oh my goddess, I’m exhausted. Being offended all the time and trying to change the world one micro-aggression at a time is tiring. I think I will stop being a woman and become one of those nice oppressed and marginalised Báhn mì people.

I think you mean BAME.

Shut up, defiler.

À bientôt, mes amies.

Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #74: Return to the City Enduring

Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #74 by Drew Barth

Return to the City Enduring

Things are getting back to normal—for comic publishing. Series are coming out once again and the month’s schedules are filling out with series returns and delayed beginnings.

But things aren’t normal, not anymore. Every day we have to contend with who we are as a nation and who we are as readers. We make a choice with how we speak and how we act and whose voices we can uplift with whatever platform we have available. It’s one of the main reasons I wanted to return to N.K. Jemisin and Jamal Campbell’s Far Sector. I wrote about the first issue seven months, or twenty years, ago and I didn’t know what kind of impact the story would have now.

fs1

Jemisin herself is already one of the most important writers of the 21stcentury. Other works, like the recently released The City We Became, deal with the survival of a massive city in much in the same way Far Sector does. But here in the comics things are slightly different. The recently appointed Green Lantern Sojourner “Jo” Mullein must investigate the City Enduring and its first murder in five hundred years. This city has maintained its facade of peace for so long due to a genetic modification that has suppressed the emotions of every citizen—at least until the drug Switchoff allows them to turn that modification off completely. And this leads to the murder. And this murder leads to a protest. And this protest leads to an egregious display of murderous police force against the protesters.

fs2

The issue the above page come from released in late February and feels prophetic. Jemisin is able to recognize what has happened in the past and how it will inevitably come to our future. As a moment in the story, it’s devastating, but not surprising—much like the militarized police we see on the news nearly every evening and their own show of force. But in Far Sector, we have a mediator—we have someone with the power to stand up and the power ring up back them up. These moments are what good comics do best—they’re a mirror to the world’s horrors with a tangible, individual light of hope that we believe can save the day.

fs3

Far Sector is the kind of comic that we need right now and Jemisin and Campbell are the creators we need on that comic. Comics have always been political, but mainstream monthly comics have a problem with inclusivity. More than ever, we need BIPOC voices and BIPOC stories, we need BIPOC editors and publishers to bring these stories and creators into our comic shops and our lives. Comics as a medium have the potential to reach a massive audience and so it must have voices that reflect that audience. And comics need to reflect the world they exist in, they’re not in a vacuum and neither is this column. It’s why now is the time to donate—time, money, energy—to the organizations that need it the most. Comics are a community that needs to remember that Black Lives Matter and that we must do our part.

Get angry. Get involved. Get active. Get reading.

Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #21: Make Mine Not

Comics Are Trying to Break Your Heart #21 by Drew Barth

Make Mine Not

Let’s talk about Marvel. If you’ve been following this article over the past few months, you’ll likely have noticed a few things: a focus on monthly comics, an undying love for the works of Kieron Gillen and Warren Ellis, Saga, a weird relationship with shonen, and a distinct lack of Marvel comics. I’ve mentioned Marvel briefly here and there, but not to any major extent. I’ve talked about DC, Image, Dark Horse, Uncivilized Books, Oni Press, and a host of others at great length, but Marvel has always stayed out of my articles. Why? Well, for the most part, I’ve been boycotting Marvel for a couple years now. Why boycott a whole publisher? Simple: Ike Perlmutter.

If you’re not familiar with the name, that’s okay, I wasn’t either until a few years ago. But he is the current Chairperson of Marvel Entertainment, which handles Marvel comics, animation, and television production. Perlmutter is also known for his outspoken support of the current president and Marco Rubio as well as his role as one of the shadow rulers of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Despite being in charge during a time of massive growth for Marvel comics, Perlmutter has more or less become the reason I refuse to buy anything from Marvel.

To have someone like Perlmutter as the Chairperson is insulting to Marvel’s legacy. At times I think we forget just how radical Marvel was in the past and to see it being run by someone who is fine with endorsing policies that are homophobic, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, racist, misogynistic, and downright vile is horrendous. To see Marvel, a publisher literally built by Jewish creators who made sure to put Captain America punching Hitler in the face in his debut comic and nearly in real life when Jack Kirby himself rolled up his sleeves to deck a Nazi who had come to the Marvel office threatening him with bodily harm; a publisher that looked at how issues like racism and genocide played out in America with the X-Men; and a publisher that featured its most prominent black hero in Black Panther fighting klansmen across an entire story arc. These are the stories and heroes that built the Marvel legacy and that made people love them as a publisher.

I do know that the people creating the comics very rarely, if ever, have a say in who is running the publishing machine, but it has to be disheartening. Some of the best creators are putting out brilliant work through Marvel right now—people like Chip Zdarsky, Kelly Thompson, Greg Pak, Saladin Ahmed, etc.—that is incredibly inclusive and diverse. But with someone like Perlmutter as the chair, we can only wonder how long those stories will stay around.

The last series I read from Marvel was America, by Gabby Rivera and Joe Quinones, which wrapped up over a year ago. It was in the middle of the series when I discovered who Ike Perlmutter was, but I needed to at least finish this series as a way to cap my time with Marvel. For the most part, America is nearly everything you would want from a great superhero story: solid characters, interesting plot, detailed setting, and a tone that, while light at times, wasn’t afraid to tackle heavy issues. Rivera and Quinones created a series so good I had to keep my ethics aside just so I could finish it. But after the finale, I was out.

I was done.

And I haven’t broken my boycott since.

Honestly, I want to break the boycott. Every single time I read about a new Marvel series that seems fun, I want to check out the first issue and see how it is. But I can’t. I won’t. And this intersection of wanting great stories and holding to this boycott is where all of these weird internal issues lie. I want to support these creators and the work they’re doing. But on the other hand, I don’t want that support to be interpreted by the Marvel board as a generalized, broad support of the company as a whole.

Even if I selectively buy just those series that celebrate what I want to see in comics, that money still goes toward paying people like Perlmutter or the editors that decided to make Captain America a Hydra agent (even if it was just an evil version of himself, it’s still in poor taste) and I don’t want to do that. Comics are, and always will be, inherently political. As a piece of popular culture, they can’t ever exist in a cultural vacuum. The creators even less so. And as someone who wants to support stories in the comic medium, I have to say “no” when I know that my support is also supporting something I hate.

And goddamn, this boycotting is difficult.

Get excited. Comics will break your heart.

Pensive Prowler #27: A Modest Proposal for Politicians of all Nations*

14 Monday Jan 2019

Posted by thedrunkenodyssey in Pensive Prowler, politics

Pensive Prowler #27 by Dmetri Kakmi

A Modest Proposal for Politicians of all Nations*

It is a melancholy truth to those who walk through this great world of ours and see capital cities filled with politicians and their minions, amassing wealth and wanting to live all of their lives on the backs of the working people, that a pressing problem begs for solution.

london-parliament

It is agreed by all that this prodigious outpouring of parasites is a very great grievance; and therefore whoever should find a fair, cheap, and easy method of making the leeches useful members of society would deserve ample financial recompense and acclaim for all the world to see.

But my intention is far from being confined to provide only for current practicing members of the political classes. Like Herod with the baby Jesus, I intend to act pre-emptively, hoping to strike early and to net youngsters whose ambition is to one day rise to the dizzy heights of presidency and to prime ministership, chancellor or emir, or whatever title applies to the jurisdiction in which you, dear reader, reside and chaff under the load of hardship while those charged with looking after your welfare live in luxury and want for nothing.

As to my own part, having turned my thoughts for many years upon this important subject and maturely weighted the various schemes and opinions of others, I have found them wanting in the extreme. And I have no doubt, if put to practise, my scheme will save many a tear and lamentation in the dead of night as we sleep safe in the knowledge the office-bearer truly serves his nation with every fibre of his or indeed her ability.

I know not where you reside, dear reader, but I live in Australia—the lucky country (if you are not Aboriginal)—and therefore my comments will be limited to my borders, lest I overstep my expertise and offend.

canberra parliament house

At any rate, not taking in the shadow ministry and local councils, the Australian parliament has seventy-six senators and 150 members of the house of representatives. It is, you will agree, a fraction of the overall population and yet these moochers avail themselves of the greater sum of monies from the public purse and think nothing of besmirching the name of the sick, needy, and unemployed and blaming them for all of the nation’s ills.

The prime minister, for instance, is lauded with $AUD527, 852. By comparison, the average cabinet minister struggles with a mere $AUD350, 209. As an addition, these honourable personages receive superannuation and business expenses, including travel expenses, health benefits, a spouse allowance, an electorate allowance, and a resettlement allowance. They get a supplementary income for taking on additional duties, such as chairing a committee. Furthermore, retiring federal politicians are awarded six figure pensions for life. The ‘reportable’ fringe benefits make for most interesting reading.

Meanwhile, the median salary in Australia is $AUD80, 000. Homelessness is on the rise. Most live under the poverty line and many struggle to find work.

Thus inspired by Monsieur Jean-Jacques Rousseau and given extra zip by Mr Rod Serling, I shall now humbly proffer my solutions to this most exasperating dilemma, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection.

I have been assured by a very knowing Greek physician of my acquaintance that a pampered, well-fed politician over the age of twenty-five makes for a most delicious, nourishing and wholesome food, whether fried, boiled or baked; and I have no doubt that the middle-aged will offer choice cuts and equally serve a mouthwatering fricassee, a ragout and, at a pinch, hamburger, thus freeing us up to reserve the grizzled elder statesman for sausages, mozzarella, and salami.

salami

The parliamentarian who takes especial care with his or her skin can be turned into designer handbags, shoes, belts, vests, leather chaps for sadomasochists, coats, and various other fashion accessories. Bones can be put to the service of furniture, kitchen implements and cutting-edge sculpture, thus using all necessary parts and assuring that no wastage whatsoever be entered into. We are after all in the age of recyclables.

As for up-and-coming politicians, from let us say the age of fifteen or sixteen, they can be rounded up in schoolyards as soon as they express the least interest in the political sphere and sold to Russia and China for organ harvesting, thus nipping the bud before the disease can spread far afield.

I reserve the best for the politician who treats the public with contempt and for whom lying and deceiving is second nature only to hypocrisy: round them up and turn them into pet food.

milk- dog

After all, they did want to serve their country and there is no better way to do that than to serve them up in a platter.

I can think of no objection that will possibly be raised against this proposal, unless we desire to act against the number of people who will thereby find material and spiritual benefit in this endeavour.

And I profess in the sincerity of my heart that I have not the least personal interest in promoting this necessary work, having no other motive than the public good; and I challenge any politician or member of the public who dislikes my overture that they first query the patents of their morals, whether they would not at this day think a gross injustice is remedied by my modest, though far-sighted submission.
