Hiya kids! Remember when I wrote about Rachel Pollack saving my life and brain as a youth by sending me comics & letters? And, then the site running it got bad news and rewrote it as an announcement of her death but she had not yet died? I'm on Wikipedia as a shitty journalist for it! All for love.

Kate Godwin/Coagula from 1993's Doom Patrol. By the awesome Rachel Pollack.
Can turn solids to liquid and vice versa. She uses this skill to dissolve the villain Codpiece's crotch based gun. And checkout the pin!

Today we celebrate the birthday of Rachel Pollack, born today in 1945. An American science fiction author, comic book writer, and expert on divinatory tarot, she is best known for her run of issues 64–87 on the comic book Doom Patrol for DC Comics' Vertigo imprint. #RachelPollack

I'm still a footnote on Rachel Pollack's wikipedia for being the asshole who declared her dead early, but I like to think she would have understood.
