“I've been stabbed in the heart! I've been London Bridged! I’ve been fucked in the face! Dogged on the floor! Et Tu, Brute? How did you do it, Judas? All of you, a conspiracy of snakes-!”

How is today going? 💜

Kiddo’s bday party was very cute and fun and successful!

But I started feeling sick again shortly after it?!! So. I have the never ending plague. Pray for me.

Great Material There were the blue-tied garbage bags bulging with her dresses. Then, the buzz of junebugs on nights I sat on the roof alone and asked where my sister was until I felt stupid

and stopped. What do you say to the dead? How can we rejoin them when we fall apart in the safety net below? Does she know her friends Lauren and Cameron played

house after she died, set a place for her at a play dinner table? As though she might stop by for a few bites of air from empty plates with spoons empty

of her short seven years on this planet . . . it unbottles me, how precisely they lamented her. What great material, the conference well-wisher said. Can’t wait to read that poem.

Here it is then, now. The crinkle of your laughter. The beetles pouring into your eyes as we toast you.

Appleseed PDA montage to save you from reading endless pages of unimportant politics that don't amount to anything

also because I have nothing better to do, I'm bored, I'm moody, my gaming laptop is still broken so no BG3, and it's too late at night to start drawing after doing animation clean-up all day.

DP x DC Prompt #14

When J'onn offered to go to the distress signal, alone, he wasn't sure what he was expecting. Other Leaguer's were on standby, of course, but J'onn didn't sense any danger. In fact it was almost ... suspiciously quiet.

That's why when he came across a child who was bleeding so much he shouldn't even be alive he was more than concerned. The kid just smiled at J'onn, made a pun, did some sort of ... dance move? And then promptly passed out.

J'onn suddenly understood how Batman had an "adoption addiction."

More bunny clickclack because living with a rabbit inspires me to make stupid images.

An annoying part about any fandom discourse is the push to categorize characters, populations, and factions as representations of actual groups IRL. The most annoying one (to me) is insistence that a particular group is Indigenous Peoples and the other is the White Settlers.

Like a lot of people in the U.S., I'm mixed race. Many who are mixed race don't identify as such; they pick one or another. Why? Because mixed race identities are systematically ignored or erased on multiple levels of government and political influence: census records, diversity reports, financial aid qualifications, membership in political groups, etc. Choosing one identity alone is rewarded with greater voice and resources in different spheres. Acknowledging that this split isn't real is offensive to groups in power, both for the dominant hegemony of Whites and the coalitions of minority groups. Each group benefits from enforcing this exclusionary practice because it allows specific people to justify their leadership based solely on their heritage: a new aristocracy.

All this fake dichotomy nonsense in fandom is a replication of that mentality. Like, some media like The Terror really, truly are commentary on colonialism. There's no need to hide the ball about it. If your favorite media has nothing to do with conquest, exploitation of land and resources, or the subjugation of populations for the benefit of foreign powers, then it's not about colonialism. There's other themes to explore.
