Hey folks!
Just saying that Brazil is the first country to be accepting LGBTQ refugees from any country that criminalize our lives. Yes, this include USA.
This was announced yesterday (may 19).
So... We are here with open arms. This is not an easy country for a lot of things, but we have:
Universal public health
General practitioner, vaccines, AIDS treatment, most common medicines are free or cheap, specialists, dental treatment... Including gender affirming care - there are queues, but it exist.
We have one of the world best dentistry.
Its still starting, but a lot of cities already have veterinary public health, or subsided vets to at least spay/neuter your pets.
Birthing is complicated in general, but there are some free options that are really good.
We don't have an opium crisis and our government break patents of medicines when needed. Insulin is free in the public health system. Condoms too.
Abortion is a current fighting matter.
Public education and universities
Public schools are everywhere. And every school will grant you and kids the basic things like notebooks, pencils, pens, etc, and books. Every school have a library or reading room, the government send new fiction books to schools.
Food is free in public schools, and in the majority of the places, good food. Even if most schools have the kids for 4 or 5 hours, not the entire day, there will be free lunch.
Our educational system is universal, so by law, every child and teen must be studying, disabled kids included.
If you cannot pass the tests for a public college, there are paid colleges you can go with government subsidy, and no one left college with an absurd debt. I mean, really. There are special credit lines to grant that. And the prejudice against community colleges is minimal. Its absolutely common that people work at day and go to college in the night shift.
Black and indigenous people have further affirmative policies to go and stay at college.
Unions and workers rights
Our president used to be an union leader. Even with the recent shit show (we had our own trump/jonhson like asshole) , unions are very present and we have LAWS that protect workers. Including 30 days of paid vacation every year, paid weekend, 50% extra payment for working more than 8 hours day or Sundays, 30% more per hour worked at night, social security services, paid health leave, and retirement.
We have a lot of shit going on in work environment, but unions grant lawyers to help, and everything in our work conditions is better than in USA.
Leftist parties and an almost fair voting system.
Almost because Im an anarchist so, every voting system to me is flawed as fuck BUT how far a voting system can go, Brazilians have the best option.
We have a lot of parties, both left and right. You dont have only two options. We have not one, but two communist party. Our socialist party have a huge queer presence. The presidency now is at the Workers Party hands, a left-centered bunch. I think they are not left enough, but our left center party is still much more to the left than any american party.
Our democracy is direct, every vote have the same value, there are not delegates and caucus and such stuff. Every adult need to vote, so your work cannot stop you from voting. There is one election day, its a holiday because everybody votes in the same day, from 8 am to 6 pm. Since the system is electronic, the same night we have the results.
Also, States are not independent to decide most of things. The laws are federal, so there's a consistency in rights and such things.
The greatest variety of foods
And even if inflation because our last government is still a thing, so food right now is not exactly cheap, we don't have food shortages.
There are no food deserts. Fresh food is easily available, and our climate is good to grow food at home.
In general, Brazilians have much more healthier food accessible than USAians.
And in big cities we have government programs and the MST (our Liga campesina) to help.
Guns are mostly illegal
Yes, thats what you read. We have huge gun control.
There are no school shootings. We had a few school incidents (big part of it with mellee weapons and not guns) by alt right men, but every single one was treated as a national tragedy and there's a real effort so that it don't happen again. In 20 years, we didn't had the amount of shootings that happens in a week in the USA.
Federal investigations of hate groups are happening constantly.
I could go on and on. And yes, we have problems, as any other country. But if you have the chance, come. We have our xenophobes, but mostly is a country that receive well the refugees. We have several organizations that help people to get on their feet. Caritas have even Portuguese classes specially developed for refugees.
There is racism, a lot, but it's very different than in USA, so it will take sone time to figure out wtf.
And we have A LOT of affirmative actions for minorities. We have a strong and huge queer community (better saying, various huge queer communities).
São Paulo Pride parade receives more than 1 million people.
And 1 dolar = 4 or 5 reais. Even if you don't have much money, this will make easier to you start a new life here.

antigone. jean anouilh.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
quotations from antigone: a tragedy by jean anouilh. translated by lewis galantière.
comic panels in order are from: battle for the cowl 3 (x3), batman annual 25, batman and robin 5, batman and robin 6, battle for the cowl 3, batman 416, battle for the cowl 3, battle for the cowl 2, batman annual 25, batman and robin 6, under the red hood, battle for the cowl 3 (x2), batman 427, lost days 5.
#jason todd#anyway mmmm still turning it over in my mind BUT#antigone + her sense of principle such that she's willing to take her confrontation with creon to its logical extreme#she knows he'll kill her & it's not that she welcomes it but there's that sense of fatality: she's more tied to the dead than the living#she's basically daring creon to have her excuted in the same way that jason is challenging bruce#jason demanding the mourning for his own corpse. antigone buries her brother but jason is the avenging unburied ghost#come to DEMAND burial. and yet he's also alive so he's also antigone who has a choice - or does he???#and then dick's got his own antigone side re:principle but in this fight he's sister ismene#ismene determined to stop antigone from getting herself killed but also angry with her#and feeling like if she would just LISTEN then she'd see that ismene is right and sensible and has all order on her side#to her everything that antigone wants sounds like chaos and the breakdown of order#and that mmm i feel like there's this consistent thread where we kinda dance around the question of well. /is/ jason suicidal#he puts a gun to his head. he lets go of the train. and yet back then as a kid he wanted to live so badly!#again like antigone who seems to be hurtling herself toward death and yet it's not really what she wants and yet and yet#anyway many thoughts still much confused but. we'll see.#my comic art but we are using the term ''art'' loosely#since it's literally just copy-pasted comic panels with. like. bad highlighting occasionally sfdsfds#dick grayson

are there gonna be any other sibling reunions in this verse or is it just gonna be nico siblings and asl?
the intention is to focus on nico siblings (any asl will be shoved to the background because they are not the focus of this, i'm just a sucker for ace&sabo)
i might just make a general sibling reunions fic for fun later though.

being an older sibling is so bizarre. i cry myself to sleep and turn myself green over all the experiences and opportunities my sibling gets to have that i never ever will. but at the same time i would chew my own arm off to ensure my sibling gets the best life in the entire world and never, ever has to feel the way i feel and experience the pain i have felt.

diversity win! your favorite system host has been made a SINGLET❗️❓ because she was TOO insufferable for the masses 😱 of angry EPs and dollar store protectors 👀
#nightmare.system#DO NOT REBLOG#alternative version of this post that was less funny:#diversity win! your favorite girl with abandonment issues just got ABANDONED by her own ALTERS!#also I KNOW YOU CAN'T BE 'MADE SINGLET' I KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT#i'm just saying this is not the first time a symptom or experience has thoroughly ruined my life and then inexplicably disappeared#i know i keep bringing this up but i don't think you guys realize how frustrating it is#to be told by someone that they finally understand you because they know your traumas#they go to therapy with you they want to give you tattoos they help you get dressed they LOVE you#they're like your fucking brother or something#and then you see them and you pinpoint it as the exact moment that both of you are never going to see each other again#and fucking Dahlia like. we never really Got Along as well as i said we did like i don't think she ever liked me?#but she was supposed to be my big sister#and i'm really sick of blaming myself for being the reason that they all left#because i worked hard to keep this body alive and comparatively the rest did fuck all#and you know. if they didn't want to come out for me that's fine. i don't care.#but you would think they'd at least want to speak to their fucking FRIENDS#anyway. that's all. i'm done thinking about these fucking people.#i'll happily be the ostracized 1% of people that was wrong about a self diagnosed dissosociative disorder if it means i can stop#hearing klavier's voice in my fucking head when i know he's never coming back.#neg#don't reblog. again.

trying so hard to be normal but i really don’t think i could survive going to the psych ward and i’m rlly like. bothered my siblings are pushing it so hard
#in neg city#they were rlly like ‘we can’t force you’ but then just kept fucking talking about it#even as i’m crying and saying no no i don’t want to go i’m not going i really don’t want to#and like. idk. when ur sister gets sent to the psych ward at a pivotal point in ur childhood#and that subsequent action adds onto the trauma u were already experiencing at that point like idk man! maybe going to the psych ward would#in fact be very very bad!!!#like any time i think abt the psych ward i think abt my sister one day just disappearing from the house. i think about when the doctors#withheld my letters and i thought my sister either hated me or was fucking dead. i think about having to hide all this agony behind polite#smiles while i was also being bullied mercilessly at school and my CHOIR TEACHER WAS DYING OF CANCER#i think abt the car ride when my aunt told me and my brother that she had to go back in#i think of empty houses and missing places at the dinner table and arguments and so many fucking arguments#i cant go into the psych ward i won’t. and it just felt like that’s all they wanted me to do#and then it became well michelle how do u want us to help u? LEAVE ME ALONE#THATS HOW U HELP. YOU LEAVE ME ALONE AND LET ME FIGURE IT OUT#i get rlly overwhelmed and stressed when too many people are trying to butt their heads in#and i know they mean well but it just feels like they’re both gonna become mom and i’m not talking to mom for THIS EXACT REASON#idk i just don’t think they can help. i get that they’re rlly worried but i can’t let them help i don’t know what they could do#and they wanna talk about this again tomorrow so now i don’t wanna sleep bc i don’t want tomorrow to happen#but i don’t have anything to do bc i’m in such a terrible mood#i rlly wish i wasn’t alive sometimes#clearly i’m putting too much stress on my siblings and mom is probably worried sick but i’ll never kno bc we aren’t talking#i’m just ruining everyone’s life i rlly shouldn’t be on this planet anymore

Going to eat a brown sugar cinnamon pop tart for the first time since my dad died. I’m craving it. It will make me cry. Going to hot box the bathroom while I take a bath and then cry and eat a pop tart in the bath. I’m bringing pocket joe for companionship

Ignore
#delete later#the issue with having no emotional object permanence is that every bad situation is the worst thing ive ever experienced#my grandad died five years ago so i know ive felt grief before as an adult. but the emotions i felt have no permanence so#i have no concept of how it felt. so knowing that my aunt is going to die soon feels like the most painful thing I've ever felt#and it means i cant really think of much else. and i fucked up aGAIN at work today. and my manager is getting fucking tired of it#but like im really trying. like i checked those things. i just didnt see them. its frustrating. im not processing anything correctly#and my grandma losing her younger brother. and watching my mum and aunt losing their sister. is making me ao so so scared#of losing mine. I've never processed how close it was. abd now i feel like im just re experiencing it at random times. abd that's#terrifying. i don't know what id do. and now im crying again. fuck man. i swing wildly between being so scared abd upset at#losing my aunt and what it means for everyone i love. and being super matter of fact aboit it. bc ive had harm ocd since i was#a kid. ive been thinking about the ways i and everyone could die and coping with it by being matter of fact that everyone dies#and its as natural as being alive. turns out both things exist in me and idk how to do anything with them#but anyway. tomorrow morning i will go outside. i will look in charity shops for home things. i will maybe buy ingredients for cake#and i will continue on. i want to make apple cake. and chocolate cake. and i will deal with the eggs as i must
