Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

And I am jealous of this edition, which I couldn't find anywhere.   And no ISBN to be seen, either.   At least to a full one: tape covers up part of the numbers as it's a library edition.   It's huge, and the art is gorgeous in this size.   It's hardbound and it's easier to read while knitting with the oversized word bubbles.   

Meanwhile, my parents came back from France, they brought me some really nice perfume, some cheap fountain pens and ink that I asked for and some nicer ink both for the pens and the watercolor brushes that hold water in them that I didn't ask for but was very happy to see. 

That being said, I'm able to read and focus more.  My mom put things in perspective for me, and while she's not happy about Trump, she's also pretty sure he won't be the train wreck everyone else assumes he will be.   I've been hearing more and more about how liberal he really is.   My mom's words: "like with the transgender people, he said let them pee where they want.   It was this huge thing for a minority of the population and he was reasonable and just came out with it."

He's also asked people not to spout hatred due to his election or speeches, and that seems ironic to me.   Still, my dad and brother pointed out that they believed due to this - and other reasons - that this wouldn't be a long term thing.   And, yeah, I kinda forget that anti-semitism is a thing because it's not super obvious I'm Other.  That is people tend to assume I'm just white.   So, yeah, the Seig Heil signage started to freak me out.   I woke up today confused, depressed, and with an anxiety that felt like it was gnawing at my gut.   I couldn't pin it down until Trump and anti-semitism floated into my morning-cloudy mind.   

But I'm fortified by comics like this and talks.   This is a revenge fantasy, which I need now, and I'm connecting to the characters more than I was under Ellis' run which is weird.   I normally enjoy both Ellis and Millar, but not so much in this case. 

I'm not taking this to work and won't be home until ten or so as I go to a friend's house to watch TV after work.  I have tomorrow off, so the plan is finish this, clean room, and get comics.
