every chapter of Feculence that comes out, I lose words to what to say. I have tried a similar concept by myself and i couldn't make what my vision (or in my case hearing) was. it truly feels like Lee hopped into my brain, took the concept and put it in reality.

The fact that Coyote v. Acme was so subversive in its anti-corporate critique makes me wonder if Batgirl was as bad as they say or was actually saying something subversive too (it featured a trans woman), didn’t get the same fan fervor because it was female-led & ppl bought the line that it was bad.

proving what we already knew: @loujsutcliffe.bsky.social is one hell of a sound magician.

There's a whole story about making this, but the jist of it is that @gemaydin.bsky.social wrote a cool thing that wasn't quite an episode of TADNE but was too cool NOT to use it so they & I messed around with it, got it recorded by several VAs, & I cut it up & put it back together. Behold.
