Please pray for all those going to the March for Life this week, that they put their trust in God and not in princes.

Stephanie: May we all exude the confidence of a mediocre white man. Bruce, any tips?

Bruce: What?

Stephanie: Obliviousness! Yes, pretend we're not mid, but not in an alpha male douche way. I knew it!

Bruce: (stammering) I… You… I am not mediocre.

Stephanie (teasing): Yes, you are.

Bruce: No, I’m not!

Stephanie (smirking): You are.

Bruce (aggravated): Alfred, make her stop!

Stephanie: Don’t drag your foster dad into this! My mom is just a phone call away! We could start a British versus Irish war!

Alfred: Bruce, just concede. I don’t feel like dealing with Crystal today.

Stephanie stuck her tongue out at Bruce prompting him to flick Stephanie on the forehead then walked off, muttering about how Batman makes him superior.

i’m a u.s citizen. but because i look a certain way and my skin is a certain color, i’m genuinely so fucking scared of these ice raids. they have been snatching up citizens and documented immigrants based on their appearance. it’s almost like it doesn’t have anything to do with citizenship status.

Voyager where everything is the same except B'elanna Torres has crazy ass Latin nicknames for everyone. I am not talking about Spanish versions of their names I am talking about calling Paris "Salamandro(a)" bc he turned into a lizard or calling harry "pan plano" bc he is not rising through the ranks or something along those lines

every time someone tries to disparage taash for the way they act during the dinner where they come out to their mom, it makes my bloodlust meter fill. (i can only speak from the perspective where i encourage them to embrace rivaini culture more since i haven't gotten far enough in my playthrough where i plan to tell them to embrace qunari culture more.)

like this is very clearly about more than just them being non-binary. i don't know if you paid attention, but taash does call out their mom for always questioning them and never just being happy for them. they ask why they can never be good enough for her. from the way shathann volunteered taash without asking them to the way that she dismisses the food that taash brings her, it's clear that this is an on-going point of contention with them.

and taash exploring their gender identity is obviously something that means a lot to them. this is incredibly personal. it's weird i even have to say that? so for their mom to be like "did i do this? what if you're something else?" like of course taash is going to be upset. their mom is a) questioning them again, this time on something that they're genuinely trying to open up about and talk to her about without her talking over them and b) trying to tell them who they are (by saying it's possible they're just aqun-athlok) which, again, is something that taash doesn't like, and c) the entire thing with shokra toh ebra where taash doesn't want to struggle with this because it's like their entire life has been a struggle (struggling with cultural identity and gender identity, their relationship with their mom, etc). they just wanted their mom to listen and to be happy for them. this is a culmination of everything that taash has experienced in regards to their relationship with their mother!

and also? this is an incredibly emotionally charged moment! they're not going to be acting rationally! they're not going to be thinking "oh, my mom was raised as a scholar, that's why she questions a lot"! what are you people expecting from them!

sorry, i know this is disjointed and probably doesn't make sense but omg!!!!!! taash get behind me!!!

i know there’s lots of different takes out there about mixed race jason todd, and by extension willis (and i love them all), but let me float this thought: half-lebanese willis todd. son of an australian immigrant mother (faye gunn) and a lebanese, specifically maronite catholic, immigrant father

i finished reading persepolis today! Fantastic fantastic book, and although our situations aren't exactly the same, some parts of it hit uncomfortably close to home for me as an afghan refugee

we were denied heating assistance because of rampant anti-immigration policies and ended up having the information my family gave them (birth certificates, social security, etc.) deemed illegitimate. what is happening anymore

there's this tiredness in my bones, a type i struggle to define. some days it feels like i'm dragging a dead body behind me, bones rattling and flesh tearing against the drag of the road. but sometimes that body is more alive, has more flesh and blood, but the tears start to gush out blood, marking my steps. 

most days, like today, i just cry. i cry a river of pain and regret and resentment, every wave cascading down that same dead beat body. sometimes i find myself crying for almost no reason at all, coming home to my bed only to sob into the sheets for an eternity.
