I will say, the fact that I started getting into batman through the anthologies of golden age comics that I loved borrowing from the library as a kid and continued getting into batman by seeing it mentioned in the articles about historical queer pop culture that I loved reading online as a teen... that does make the whole batfam phenomenon kind of hard for me to process, even though rationally i know that bruce being the adoptive father/father figure to several children of varying ages is the standard, established understanding of the wayne household in dc now and has been for years. i'm not criticizing it i'm just disoriented. what do you mean dick is basically bruce's son? what do you mean he's the oldest of many siblings?? what do you mean shipping batman and robin is incest??? what do you mean they're not two young gay men with a significant-but-not-unreasonable-in-fiction age gap who are living together because they are life partners who fight crime together and have been in a secret relationship for years????? i thought we all made that assumption growing up.

Wild Geese

by Mary Oliver

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting – over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

day eleven of the #TarotTropes tarot spread series: love triangle . we're in the home stretch! love triangles are tricky, and are hard to do well — but when it's a true triangle, and the characters are written well, it can be such a fun dynamic to play with. i'm very much team #whychoose but there are plenty of ways to resolve this trope. and in the meantime, who knows what messes the characters will find themselves in? . reminder that in addition to tagging me and using the hashtag #TarotTropes to have me share your work and readings with others, i also have a ton of free spreads, spread collections, and custom spread services on my website. and if you love getting new tarot spreads on the regular, you're gonna wanna subscribe to my newsletter! find links to everything in my bio or head to 3amtarot.com for more 🖤

There's a quote in the most recent newsletter from The Gender Doula that I have been thinking of all week:

Leftists always want to make everything so dour and horrible and then wonder why people aren’t into the revolution or why they don’t want to live.

And I think these are two parts of the same issue.

Everything is Terrible and Horrible and there's only Suffering, but as long as you are A Good Person (the definition of which *will* be changing without notice), then at least you have Moral Superiority, and that's totally the same thing as love and care.

And it's wild to me, because, like, if all you want to do is be a Mean Girl (gender neutral), then, fuck, man, just be a Republican! Couching your hatred in the verbiage of progressivism doesn't make it not hatred, it just makes you a dick.

it rly is weird how theres this culture in progressive spaces where like you can be as mean, as CRUEL even, as you want as long as youre not being explicitly bigoted towards any marginalized group of people and still be seen as a really good person with good morals who nobody is allowed to have beef with bc theyve never done anything racist or homophobic
