Day three of holding everyone’s laundry hostage until my father takes a shower.
The last of my father’s beloved white socks have fallen to the filth. There is little hope, and even less in terms of rest. The battle is ongoing, and it feels often that I am fighting alone. Morale is low; my ally in this conflict, mother, is injured. I long for the days when I can rest. When this war will cease, and all will be clean again. The dishes done, the people bathed, the laundry washed and folded. Alas. We know the struggle will never end.
I am Sisyphus, and my father’s horrid stench and apathy are forever my boulder.
My father is a war profiteer, and I am a hapless young recruit greeting a doomed mission.
Last shower date: December 25th, 2023

I like bruce better when he’s a shit dad it’s so much more interesting and adds a complexity to his character that I think is genuinely necessary for some of y’all to see, bc too many of y’all genuinely think Bruce being nice to strangers and hugging his kids after they escape death means he’s a good parent off rip which….I hope ur just on this man’s dick and don’t actually believe that

So I’ve been working on my anxieties about the future a lot lately and I’ve made some really great improvements, including getting almost entirely past my stress over getting a pet because it could lead to financial turmoil (I have a million back up plans in place now to make me feel more comfortable about such things) and I had been thinking I might get a dog because not only would it be company but as a woman living alone it might provide me some level of intimidation from outsiders, and as a step in the direction of getting a pet and also just because I enjoy it I have been fostering and today I brought my foster kitten back (I already miss her but she never got less feral and her scratching and biting only hurt more as she grew, hopefully she’ll calm down as she grows up) and I was sad that I would be going home alone tonight so I took a stroll around the shelter and I was only really looking at the dogs entertaining getting one and then this meow calls me over to the kitten side and there’s this little fur ball and she comes right to me to get pet (my foster kitten hated being pet or held so this was a nice change) and I ended up sitting down with her in a one on one and she was so sweet but I had to go back to work and they’re closing early tonight so I said if she’s still there tomorrow then it was meant to be and if she’s not I hope she has a good life and now that I’m sitting at work I can think a little more clearly beyond the OH MY GOD THIS KITTEN IS SO CUTE AND SWEET but I keep looking at her photo and I think I would really love her, I kept saying I would keep my foster kitten if she was cuddly or affectionate lol but getting a kitten wasn’t the plan really so I don’t know if I should abandon the dog plan and get this kitten or not adopt the kitten and keep looking for a dog and fostering until I find the right one

…oh good, Devin, I see you spent Gotham Knights #20-21 making the racism around Dick’s adoption worse on TWO further angles.
(This set I did already know about) (I hate it here)
Ok while I attempt to forget this whole plotline, let us instead enjoy this particular panel and the hilarious suggestion that No Man’s Land was “forced cessation”.
Forced cession, you say? THAT LAND WAS NEVER CEDED. (Sorry, knee jerk habit there)
Ok time to consult Blackstone’s Commentaries as to the correct legal system and land ownership of Gotham.
If the United States did cede Gotham, who was it ceded to? The remaining inhabitants? The gangs and criminals it imprisoned inside? In that case, if it was ceded, the USA could not simply resume the land by executive order, but yet they did. Suspicious. The inhabitants have grounds to now sue the US government for stealing their clearly established connection to the land (Cobblepot (No. 2) incoming) AND for overruling the existing legal system on their illegal return (Dent v United States to adjudicate on whether any changes or charges under the NML legal system should be upheld. Legality of the Dent v Gordon trial is at stake!!)
Now can we instead call No Man’s Land ‘desert and uncultivated’ and consider whether ownership passed by settlement? No, and let’s all say “thank you Pamela Isley”, as Robinson Park demonstrably was cultivated land supporting the islands. It was not desert. The US does not have grounds to simply resettle Gotham. The existing inhabitants were civilised, despite any allegations or slurs by the US Government to the contrary when they blew the bridges.
The final consideration is whether ownership of Gotham as of 31 December 1999 was now held by the Blue Boys via right of conquest, given you can’t unilaterally uncede land and No Man’s Land did involve intra-community warfare of the local inhabitant, with the Blue Boys and the Bat holding the largest share of the land in the final days. Does the GC ex-PD hold title to Gotham by conquest and did THEY then cede the land back to the US? Also potentially Gotham held multiple overlapping contradictory legal systems given Penguin and Two-Face’s territories not observing US law. Given the compromises made by the Blue Boys could they be considered to have enacted additional local laws that now need to be distinguished from the outside US largely system? Is vigilantism now legal in Gotham?
In this essay I will…
